Whenever I try to play the following URL with mplayerplug-in, the message goes very quickly from "download complete" or "getting playlist" to "stopped". http://shoutcast.omroep.nl:8062/listen.pls (Or any of the audio links on http://www.avro.nl/web/webradio/ for that matter.) I've tried with 2 versions: mplayerplug-in-3.25-0.pm.7.i586.rpm (RPM from packman for Suse 10.1) mplayerplug-in-3.31-fc (rebuilt from source RPM under Suse 10.1. Manually added links to /usr/lib/browser-plugins.) The same URL plays perfectly with stand-alone mplayer. Can someone give me a hint or tell me how to send some more useful information? regards, Mark |

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.

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.

So it is not a bandwidth issue, but a server side setup issue.
