[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1305412, member: 141969"] As Alexander Pope said: [INDENT][i]A little learning is a dangerous thing[/i], [/INDENT] and Dr Google explains this as: [INDENT][I]The quotation warns that superficial knowledge of a subject can make people arrogant or foolish, suggesting one should either learn deeply or not at all.[/I][/INDENT] "Superficial", and "arrogant or foolish" would be me :eek: . However... I would expect that at the beginning of processing of the data, MP examines the data stream to determine what format it is in, and then sets up the "graph" (is that the correct term?) to invoke the correct decoders. My guess is that these independent radio channels now have a combination of properties that MP is not expecting, and so is not testing for, resulting in the "unable to play" pop-up. So all that needs to be done is locate the place where those tests are performed, and add a test for the combination of properties that the independent channels now have. Simples. :D -- from Cyber "arrogant and foolish" Simian in the UK [/QUOTE]
