[QUOTE="KnightAzul, post: 74170, member: 10651"] OK, I hooked up Wireshark (packet sniffer) to see what the difference was between MediaPortal and RealPlayer when it comes to connecting to an internet radio stream. Here's the scoop and could explain my problems. They both performed redirections (example from MediaPortal): GET / HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* User-Agent: NSPlayer/10.0.0.3646 WMFSDK/10.0 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Host: 207.200.96.228:8076 Connection: Keep-Alive HTTP/1.0 302 Found Content-type:text/html Location: [url]http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1018[/url] <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Redirect</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>Click <a href="http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1018">HERE</A> for redirect.</BODY></HTML> GET /stream/1018 HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* User-Agent: NSPlayer/10.0.0.3646 WMFSDK/10.0 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Connection: Keep-Alive Host: 64.236.34.4 ICY 200 OK icy-notice1: This stream requires <a href="http://www.winamp.com/">Winamp</a> icy-notice2: SHOUTcast Distributed Network Audio Server/SolarisSparc v1.9.5 icy-name: Groove Salad: a nicely chilled plate of ambient beats and grooves.
