Title: MC16 Problems with radio station streams
Post by: eternaloptimist on August 11, 2011, 05:23:45 am

Ahhhhhh!
Some of my favorite radio stations are ABC Australia. Now they won't play... Have the latest MC16 build.
ABC Dig Music is typically on daily (excellent mix!) and now will not play. Am just about ready to throw MC16 into the Recycle bin.
The stream will play in Windows media player without a problem.
The stream is a Windows media stream and would previously only play in MC15 / 16 with the file association set to use the windows media player engine.
Now this is broken and it wont play - approx. 50% time any attempt crashes MC16.
Usually there is the error message: "Something went wrong with playback. Unknown Media error".
The direct link is:  http://abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/windows/dig_music.asx
Any help to play this stream would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave

Sounds like the same issue reported in Radio stations not working in MC16 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=65595.msg439850#msg439850). It would be nice if JRiver would comment. I've been without functioning radio streams for months. :(

Just gave this a quick try.

The link takes about 10s to resolve, then shows 2 streams. The first did not work, gave a DRM error, the second works fine and I've saved it in my Connected Media folder.
