Mark,

Ok, I just fixed this in CVS. It turns out that the playlist pointed to
by that file is not actually a playlist, but a pointer to a webpage
(seems wrong to me). So I put in a workaround that if [playlist] is in
the .pls file that the .pls file is just streamed... Seems to work ok.

Wow, that was fast.

By the way, I later observed what looked like the same problem with the
links at http://www.shoutcast.com.

Those work too, I am listening to a Shoutcast Playlist now... oh, and
while I was there I noticed mplayer spits out the ICY Stream Titles so
those are now shown in the window. That is a CVS change too..

There still seems to be a problem with some of the URLs at
shoutcast.com. For example, the following one works in stand-alone
mplayer but not with mplayerplug-in:

http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=9147&file=filename.pls

Mark, it looks like your connection was just slow to get started. And so
it just thought that the site was giving an error/no data and shifted to
another protocol.

I made a minor change to have it allow 3 retries to get some data into
the cache rather than 1 retry (most sites need only 1 request). So I
added that change to CVS.

Kevin,

I just tried the new daily and now it works for me too. Thanks. But I
don't really understand the bit about my connection being slow. It's not
really slow.

I think it is more of the server side setting up a connection for you
and adding you to the list of clients. So it is not a bandwidth issue,
but a server side setup issue.
