Title: Can't play .pls streams...
Post by: eternaloptimist on April 13, 2018, 09:51:02 pm

Hi MC Team,
Have used MC for years and years.
With MC24 64bit Win 10....
Cant play .pls streams via File=>OpenURL=>  xxx .pls
Also won't work when the stream is opened via a browser, e.g. Google.
No problem with MC23 64bit Win 10...
For example:
This stream : http://www.abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/mp3/classic_fm.pls
Opens quickly with MC23 but hangs MC24.....
I would appreciate a fix as I use this *all* the time.
Will be reverting to MC23 until this is fixed.
Cheers,
Dave

Probably an antivirus problem.

Probably an antivirus problem.

Before posting: Antivirus disabled, firewall disabled....
MC24 hangs on "Opening"....

Edit: Strange thing is... I have a playlist of radio streams (e.g. SomaFM). All these play fine. I just can't open a new stream.
Edit 2: Opening streams via the new "Streaming" section, e.g. SomaFM is fine.
Therefore... not likely an antivirus problem....

Anyone else have this problem??

Dave

Yeah all over here in Interact it will be said disabled is not good enough it needs to be uninstalled to rule it out, that being said if it's intergrated into windows then there are other protocols. You may have some more reading to do....just saying

I tried the link you provided, and it hung for me on MC24 as well.  I am using Webroot End Point Protection.  Just for reference.  I am unwilling to uninstall webroot to test.

This should be fixed in the next build, sorry for the troubles.
