ASX, SMIL, M3U, RAM, PLS are all playlist formats - text files which have playable URLs.
These are read aread and processed by Squeezenetwork or SqueezeCenter. After processing - SC/SN will have created a playlist of one or more playable URLs - I think SN/SC may have to do an initial connection to station to get stream format (usually through mime type and or extension) so SC/SN can decide whether the stream can be played by the player natively or whether it needs transcoding help (only with SC). MMS and HTTP are considered equal by SN/SC and whenever it see two identical streams - I think only one will be played and the SC/SN proble will try using http first. IF it works then SC/SN will give the playter the http URL that works. If probe fails then on SC it will try mms with transcoding support, on SN it will indicate cannot be played. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68224 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
