  #!/usr/bin/python3
  import vlc
  p = vlc.MediaPlayer('https://stream.dxbh.net/AWR360Iloilo')
  p.play()

This is my python program. It does nothing. No error message. I am told the website is a shoutcast server. If I put the url in the browser, it works fine.

I am using Linux mint 20.3

I did pip install python-vlc

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

It's not complicated. I got the code from SO. But there are no errors showing.

The program quits right after you start playing. It won't wait for your media to complete. You need to add something to wait. A minimal solution would be:

import time

while True:
    time.sleep(1)
