Can't play .ogg files in .m3u

    Loading m3u files with URLs ending in .mp3 works fine, .m3u files with URLs
    ending in .ogg do not work at all. It seems that ServeStream does not even try
    to load/open the URLs (HTTP server shows nothing in access.log). Is this a
    bug, not supported or am I doing something wrong?

    For testing I created 2 .m3u files each pointing to 2 public mp3 and ogg
    files:

    http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~schamane/tmp/servestream-
    mp3.m3u

    http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~schamane/tmp/servestream-
    ogg.m3u

    The 1st plays, the 2nd does not. ServeStream shows but nothing happens.

    Ok, I just tried these links on my phone running Android 2.2 and they worked
    fine. That's not to say there isn't a potential problem. What version of
    Android are you using? Also, have you tried the links from the .m3u file
    directly to ensure they play?

    William, many thanks for your prompt reply!

    Gosh, how comes it works for you but not with my Galaxy Tab running Android
    2.2.1 and ServeStream 0.3.2?

    However, indeed, I cannot play the links directly, either. I can download the
    OGGs and play them, I can stream them through e.g. XiiaLive Lite or Rockplayer
    but not with ServeStream.

    What do you suggest to further debug this?
