I've been trying to connect to 702, Highveld and 5Fm with the same problem you're describing and manage to connect occasionally, but as a general rule it doesn't work. See my posts in thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16100&page=2 re this. A more recent thread re same issue is at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24940 Following that thread it would appear to be an unresolved bug. I've been in touch with Antfarm with regards to the issues and their last response (in reply to Dan Sully's response in the abovementioned thread) was: "As mentioned before, for the stations you are interested in, we stream using Windows Media ASF using both HTTP and MMS protocols. To check this, use any of the provided URLs with Windows Media Player - once streaming, on the WMP menu bar, click View-Statistics-Advanced for confirmation of which protocol is in use... It appears that the device in question does not support Windows Media ASF streams. Please note that Windows Media ASF HTTP streams are NOT the same as other HTTP streams (Shoutcast, QuickTime, Real etc) despite using the same protocol. In the case of Windows Media ASF, HTTP is merely used as a 'wrapper' around MMS to make the protocol transparent to firewalls..." Looks like we'll have to wait for a firmware update that fixes the issue. -- egd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25001 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
