Hi hwahrmann

Seems I was completely off track with that. As "the666MAC" mentions in this thread:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/bass_error_handle_asx_radio-t28214.html
The .asx files from DR plays fine if the third <ENTRY> is removed from the asx.

I tried this back and forth and Heureka! I found something that made sense and I could reproduce again and again.

When an asx contains several <ENTRY> BASS will just play the last <ENTRY> and not take them one at a time in case one fails. (the third reference in DR .asx files is a dead link)
In other words it seems that BASS isn't capable of handling .asx with several sources (it just ignores all other than last source).

Weeee! Found it :)

hwahrmann: can you please test my findings? thanks!

Oh and here's the code for you to test:

This asx will play because last <ENTRY> works
Code:
<ASX Version = "3.0"> 
	<TITLE>DR P3</TITLE>
   	<Entry>	 
		<Ref href="http://wmscr.dr.dk/e02ch03m?wmcontentbitrate=300000"/>
	</Entry>
   	<Entry>	 
		<Ref href="http://wmscr1.dr.dk/e02ch03m?wmcontentbitrate=300000"/>
	</Entry>
</ASX>

This asx won't play because last <ENTRY> is dead
Code:
<ASX Version = "3.0"> 
	<TITLE>DR P3</TITLE>
   	<Entry>	 
		<Ref href="http://wmscr1.dr.dk/e02ch03m?wmcontentbitrate=300000"/>
	</Entry>
   	<Entry>	 
		<Ref href="http://wmscr.dr.dk/e02ch03m?wmcontentbitrate=300000"/>
	</Entry>
</ASX>

    Confirmed by BASS development.

    In case of a http entry he starts to read from the last entry, to skip http entries pointing to advertisments.
    and if the last entry is a dead one, it won't play.

    i've got an experimental version which starts from the bottom up to top until it finds a link which can be played.
    tested it and it worked fine with the above sample.

    Once the BASS team has confirmed that this modification will be included in future versioins, i will put the new version into mp

    For me, no video stream is working with MP 0.2.3 SVN october 5.

    All radio stations play fine.
    I have the sound for the video streams, but without video!

    All video streams (asx, wvx, wsx, mms) worked fine with MP 0.2.2

    I am using the same configuration as before (using VRM9 to play internet streams) and the same computer, I just desinstalled 0.2.2 (stupid guy!!) and installed 0.2.3

    Did you try to play video streams?

    Thanks!!
