Please announce the Shoutcast internetradio directory via DLNA by ReadyMedia server using the Shoutcast-API.

Due to the shout/icecast protocol, many clients will need transcoding to properly play. Transcoding is not supported by minidlna. There is a patch attempt with shoutcast support in an earlier version:

Some controllers have an option of playing a URL. You might try that as a workaround.
