#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 , Instrumental - Mother Earth Instrumental FLAC 192khz/24bit
https://motherearth.streamserver24.com/listen/motherearth_instrumental/motherearth.instrumental

why is this playlist not loading ?

[terrym@tassie]

I don't know why it is not working for you, but it works fine for me. File>Open URL or add to Streaming in the tree as a new entry.
What error do you get?

[maestro.andriy]

Doesn't open playlist File>Open playlist.M3U example above,
more precisely, it opens a playlist File>Open playlist.M3U, but if the links are long, as in this case, he doesn't see them.

AIMP and foobar2000 do a great job of this.

[terrym@tassie]

Thanks for clarifying the issue, yes, I can confirm that a m3u file containing those entries will not play on Media Center.
The MC log shows the stream is opened but is immediately closed again.
Opening the m3u with ffplay (the ffmpeg player) gives the following error: 'Invalid data found when processing input 0B'.
However, like Media Center, ffplay can play the stream directly if the url is used.
AFAIK Media Center uses ffmpeg libraries, so this looks like a 'shared' bug.

I can open the m3u successfully with VLC.

It's already the fourth version of the update and this hasn't been fixed yet

It may be just a problem with the site.

[maestro.andriy]

why then AIMP and foobar2000 perfectly opening and play playlists with such long links as this ?

[JimH]

Who knows

[maestro.andriy]

Take it and check it out , it's not a site problem but a JRiver problem, it doesn't see long links in M3U playlists !

I do File > Open URL... on this file:
https://motherearth.streamserver24.com/listen/motherearth_instrumental/motherearth.instrumental

It plays music.

It's a little hard to decipher from the instructions above, because it works for me too.

Someone who's able to reproduce it should probably post a step-by-step instruction on how to reproduce it exactly.

[terrym@tassie]

The issue is not the streaming url, it's opening a m3u file that contains the url. So, create m3u file from details in OP's first post and use Open Media file rather than Open url, the stream then does not open. As I noted in my previous post ffplay also fails to open the m3u file but VLC opens it OK.
EDIT: Attached a m3u created from the OP's first post for everyone's convenience

[maestro.andriy]

In every post I write that this is a playlist.M3U but no one reads it!
This is just one of the longest links from my M3U radio playlist.

[Matt]

Thanks. We're seeing the .instrumental and assuming that's the file extension. Then we don't run the checker (website issues OGG as the MIME type). We'll get this sorted for a coming build. Thanks.

[terrym@tassie]

Quick workaround for the issue until the new build becomes available. Uses URL encoding to replace the '.' in the url string.
Edit the url in the m3u file to this:

Code: [Select]

Modified m3u that does play with current MC release attached to this post.
