You need to read the Microsoft page but in a nutshell. mms:// used to mean the mms protocol. Then Microsoft started using http - so they said mms:// means try http protocol and then try mms protocol. Then Microsoft said - we have new protocol rtsp and we also deprecate mms so every body should use http:// for your URLs - but users didn't so Microsoft then said - use mms:// but then servers will try rtsp and then http. So now users should use mms:// in front of URLs if they want to use http protocol - classic Microsoft nonsense. > Will installing the PlayWMA plugin affect the playback of other WMA > streams? I hope not as I have several saved on my Favourites. Yes - all stream and files will be transcoded using mplayer on the server and sent using Flac to players. You will not hear any difference. The problem is with the station. You should contact the station and complain they are using a deprecated no longer supported protocol. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87834 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
