How to stream SHOUTcast radio streams on Chromecast receiver

We have a Android radio app which plays various live radio streams. It works pretty well with Google Chromecast as log the stream is a "normal" mp3 stream. The playback on Chromecast Styled Media Receiver is NOT working with SHOUTcast streams i.e http://46.105.118.14:13500.

After mRemoteMediaPlayer.load(...) I see in my Android LogCat a result statuscode = 1.

In Chrome debug console I see the following Load metadata error:

[673.080s] [cast.receiver.MediaManager] Load metadata error cast_receiver.js:18

ib cast_receiver.js:18

gb.Gb cast_receiver.js:18

B.log cast_receiver.js:13

E cast_receiver.js:15

Z.pa cast_receiver.js:71

Eb cast_receiver.js:23

Cb cast_receiver.js:24

(anonymous function) cast_receiver.js:21

Is it possible to play SHOUTcast live streams with Google Chromecast (Styled Media Receiver or Custom Receiver)? If yes, can you give me some hints or point me to an example?

Append a /; after the port of the stream url, so you get to the stream data i.e http://46.105.118.14:13500/;

I use the localcast android app with this trick to make my chromecast play SHOUTcast Radio.
