Thanks for the reply. I'm not so sure that httplib is going to work as most of these are not http urls. Here's a handful of examples that maybe someone could use to give me an idea of how to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Here's a list of the various types of media links I have in my database (all working): http://www.dradio.de/streaming/dkultur_hq_ogg.m3u http://200.29.92.21/ucvtv http://www.ampmedia.org/asx/marina25.asx http://www.jazz.fm/streaming/JAZZFM91.pls mms://144.122.56.15/ODTU-TV rtsp://200.79.7.137/broadcast/tv.rm The httplib approach may work the http urls, but what about the mms and rsp 'protocols'? Please remember that I only know enough to be dangerous and that I'm much more a hacker than I am a programmer. As always, any help is greatly appreciated! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
