Since mms got deprecated by Microsoft, many stations enabled the http stream but kept the mms URL. Squeezebox knows this and so with any mms port 1755 stream, squeezebox will in fact trying playing the same address but with http on port 80. The belarus stream is mms on 1755 and so will not play on SB. The station mms://live.hitfm.cn/fm887.wsx may play OK if you use http://live.hitfm.cn/fm887.wsx The station does not have a WMA extemnsion (i.e.ASX not WSX) and its mime type is Video ( video/x-ms-asf ) which is not supported by LMS and LMS may be confused about how to play it (i.e unknown extension, unsupported mime and mms) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101699 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
