When I have Winamp installed in [C:\Program Files\Winamp\], I have no
trouble launching it and playing a streaming broadcast from a link on a
Web page.
When I have Winamp installed in its own [C:\Winamp\], I get an error
popup for .m3u and .pl links; but it still works okay for .pls links.
For the link <http://kuscstream.org/mp3/kusc128.m3u>, the error popup says:
"C:\DOCUME~\User\LOCALS~1\Temp\kusc128.m3u could not be opened,
because the associated helper application does not exist.
Change the association in your preferences."
I do not see any reference to .mu3 or .pl files in Helper Applications.
Windows file associations -- including m3u and pl -- all correctly point
to [C:\Winamp\winamp.exe]. All Windows registry values also point to
the correct path to winamp.exe.
How can I fix this?
I've seen this occasionally with various applications, nothing peculiar
to WinAmp. If SeaMonkey lists no helper app, you can resolve this by
giving it the guidance it needs. It's basically saying, "I don't know
which app to launch to view this file."
Most commonly this happens when you upgrade your app or install a
competing one and SM loses track of where to look. You probably do have
an M3U association (click "Content Type" at top to alphabetize the
list). Click and update the action, you should be fine. You may have to
change it to something you don't want and then change it back; in that
case, "Always ask" is a good choice.
