I am using a SB3 and periodically have had problems with

accessing Shoutcast. Here is what's happening now:
For the last 2 days I have been unable to access Shoutcast stations
via
SqueezeNetwork. When I try to connect to the station I get the message
"Error: Can't Open Remote URL".
I can get Shoutcast stations thru SlimServer and here is the
interesting part - if I go to the SqueezeNetwork website and hit play
on one of my favorites that is a Shoutcast station it will play
thru my
SB3 but I cannot access the station thru the SB3 itself.
I PM'd andy and he replied it was a Shoutcast problem (which always
seems to be the answer when Shoutcast won't play on the SB3) but why
can I access Shoutcast thru my computer media (winnamp), thru
Slimserver and thru the SqueezeNetwork website with no problems but
not
thru the most convenient way - thru the SB3 itself using
Squeezenetwork.
This is veru frustrating.
Any idea why I cannot access Shoutcast stations directly thru my SB3
via Squeeze Network and how I may resolve this problem?
If it's in your SN Favorites you have the actual stream URL stored
which will work as long as the station is up and running. When
browsing via the player, the URL you get is a dynamic playlist URL
generated by Shoutcast's servers. This is used for their stat
tracking purposes. Their servers have been overloaded and sometimes
send back bogus playlists which cause the "Can't open" error to
appear. We are trying to work with them on a fix.
