[B_J]

I´ve just upgraded to 0.2.3.0 RC2 and i ot similar errors
I'm having problems with.....as it seems all formats.
Can´t play wma or asx.
These worked fine in 0.2.2.0
i installed SVN 09-13-2007 01-05h :15867 but i still got the errors

including the logfiles below...

any help appriciated

Had a look at the Files in your log:

http://www.rixfm.com/stream/dlink/stream.asx -> just plays fine without any problems
http://mediak.yle.fi/livex3m?.wma -> fails. But also in WMP 11. seems that the server is not there.

thats wierd, i still can´t get the fist one to work, the second one plays without any problems in wmp and
also as mentioned in 0.2.2.0

 

[hwahrmann]

for me it's the other way around.
don't think i can do too much about that.
simply don't get a connection at all.

what´s the result if you try this link?
http://yle.fi/livestream/x3m.asx

it seems to be some sort of redirection along the way
i´m not able to test it myself as i´m at work at the moment

edit: installed MP on my laptop an tested and i can answer myself there...it works
but why the first station dosen´t work on my HTPC is still a mystery

Well this is totally wierd...
It dosen´t work on my htpc but it works on my laptop...
same MP version
same svn
same mediaplayer

So let's conclude that it isn't a MP problem.

Comparing an asx that will play in BASS (latest SVN 21/9 00:50) against one that won't:

This won't play:

Apparently the "BIG" difference is that BASS doesn't handle the http:// reference but only the "direct" mms:// type reference.
Winamp shows same behavior, but Windows Media Player handles both references fine and plays with no problems.

The question is then: Would it be possible to make BASS capable of looking up the http: references in asx as WMP does?

what´s the result if you try this link?

Did you set your laptop up to use BASS?

Using BASS on my HTPC I'm not able to play http://yle.fi/livestream/x3m.asx

Looking at the .asx I find the same explanation as in my previous post: the http:// ref instead of an mms:// ref

 

[hwahrmann]

Thanks for looking into that.
I'll ask the BASS devs about including it.

Cool! Thanks!

I just tested with a clean install on another PC with defaults set and only setting up the radio channels folder.
The result was the same as mentioned above.
At the present state BASS can't handle asx http:// references.
Code example:

<Ref href="http://wmscr2.dr.dk/e06ch12m?wmcontentbitrate=300000"/>

Note that these resolve and play fine in Windows Media Player, but Winamp shows same behaviour.

For those trying to listen to Danmarks Radio (The Danish Radio) go to:
http://www.dr.dk/netradio/afspillere.asp

Here you can right-click and save the stations as .pls files with direct links to the media stream. (In short: They work with MP already)

To save you all the work I've attached the complete stations pls in a zip. Just extract them to whichever folder you have setup in MP config -> Radio -> "Streams folder"
And you'll have them in your radio stations list in MP.

Sorry, i answered before testing it on my own.

the asx file just plays fine here.
the http ref is resolved.
i already got the same information from the bass dev.
