Mediaportal crashes when using a wrong URL Mediastream (1 Viewer)

[bergh]

When I enter a "wrong" URL as a radiostream and start to listen to the station I get a general MS Windows error and then MP RC4 quits.

Just enter "http://yacast.funradio.fr/V4/fun/fun_main_V4.html?id=funradiohd" as the stream (will work in a webbrowser, but not in MS WMP). Mediaportal will start the MS Windows Media Player as a new instance (not visible). However the player will crash (just enter the URL in the MS WMP) and Mediaportal will not recover from this error (lost focus/reference?) and quits.

Frank.

http://yacast.funradio.fr/V4/fun/fun_main_V4.html?id=funradiohd

gives a codec eror here in WMP, error in winamp, nothing in JetAudio and cannot render file in MPlayer classic.

Exactly.

My point is that MediaPortal should handle the exception and not crash itself as well.

One other intersting point might be (and is more a feature request) that in case of an html extension (and some others) a webbrowser (probably non visible and captured by the mediaportal) should handle the URL.
