Okay, so WMP says it's connecting, but it isn't really connecting. I've done this a ton of times with Winamp and XMMS, so I just tried it with WMP 9, and I can't get it to go either. Side note -- why does anyone put up with this thing? It took me an insane amount of time to find where to put the URL in (hint, hover your mouse on the top edge of the GUI until you get the menu bar, then choose File > Open URL). When I do that, it says "connecting to media..." and then nothing. tcpdump on my server shows a successful three-way handshake, but practically nothing more. -- Jack Coates At Monkeynoodle Dot Org: It's A Scientific Venture!
