OK, I started the TV-Server configuration and was going to add some on-line radio channels (mms streams). I did not find a way to do that directly, but I saw you can import a playlist from WMP. So I started WMP and created a playlist with 4 MMS-streaming radio channels which work correctly in WMP. I saved the playlist and then imported it in the TV-Server configuration program. Everything seems to be fine.

Then I started MediaPortal and tried to listen to those channels, but nothing happens. I can select the channel and hit ENTER, it'ls like the channel starts, bu the MM:ss counter stays at 00:00 and nothing is played.

I went back to the TV-Server configuration and selected one channel and hit edit. In the window that opens, you can see a details column. In there, it's like the path to the playlist file I imported is prepended to the mms-url. That's why the channel is not played, the URL becomes invalid.

The url of the channel was:
C:\Documents and Settings\eyrun\My Documents\My Music\My Playlists\mms://utvarp.visir.is/x-id

but should have been only:
mms://utvarp.visir.is/x-id

Then I realized that I could click the entry and edit the URL of the web-stream (maybe not very clear that you have to select the line and right-click to edit), and once I removed the c:\documents and settings\.... part, the channel plays correctly.

I've attached all my logs and also a screenshot of the dialog showing the incorrect URL.

    Thanks for the clear bug report describing the problem. It seems that there is a problem. Can you also provide logs of the import process?
