Re: [Banshee-List] .asx radio stations don't work

["Steven Coté" <steven cote gmail com>]

I hoped Banshee 1.2.1 would fix (add?) .asx radio support..but it didn't ;(.
I still can't play .asx radio stations, like:
http://217.196.35.12/asx/skyradiolovesongs.asx

Any comments?

This bug has been reported as: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545646

The patch has been commited to the SVN trunk as of 2008-08-05 (9 days ago), so I guess it just didn't make it into the 1.2.1 release, but it'll be in the next one if you don't want to run the trunk version.

I just gave it a try using trunk. It seemed to parse the radio station ok, but failed to open the stream. Looks like a codec error.

Hmmm... that's weird; I just tried running it with --debug on and it looks like they're just mp3 files. I have that codec installed, so it should work I would have thought. I'll try again tonight when I'm at home with an installation that I know works with .mp3 and try again (my work computer doesn't have any music on it to test playback with).

Here's the relevant messages:
