Title: XM URL Stream doesn't work in MC12, yet works elsewhere in the same computer
Post by: oserani on August 09, 2007, 10:41:33 pm

Folks -- I can get this URL to stream in Windows Media player and in one of my Sonos setup.  However, when I try to open it directly with MC12 (File, open URL) or through the Musiclobby server interface as an internet radio station, MC12 gives an unknown media error.  What's the fix?  User name and password are fictitious.  Other alternatives?

Maybe I have the same issue or a different one.  I just installed MC12 on my computer and had a similar experience except that I get the error

"Internet Explorer cannot download ...   
Internet Explorer was not able to open the Internet site.  The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."

But as was the case with oserani, the link worked perfectly from WMP.
I also saw in another posting where checking the "Use Windows Media Player engine for video playback when possible" might help, but that made no difference for me.
