hey guys,
ive been on this all afternoon with no luck… so i thought maybe u could gimme a hand
im trying to correct an issue on a friends pc.
it’s running on vista.
i cannot get any stream radios to work through the wmp web plugin (can stream .mp3 files but not .asx)
here’s the site ive been trying to stream from, and i cannot get any of the stations to work : www.live24.gr
the problem is that the wmp plugin starts buffering then shows “ready” and even if i press play, it wont do anything.
(some of the radios on the site wont even load the wmp plugin (on IE and Firefox), just show an empty box, but that’s another problem, as i installed google chrome to check if it’s working and all the plugins are loading but the “ready” condition still stands)
here’s what ive found so far:
-it’s not a router issue, as other pc’s on the lan are playing fine (not using vista tho)
-it’s not a firewall issue cause i disabled NOD and windows firewall and problem persists
-dont think it’s a connectivity issue cause i can stream from www.shoutcast.com through winamp, and wmp plugin played this mp3 testfile fine (home.att.net/~cherokee68/mp3stream.html)
wmp 11 and firefox wmp plugin are installed. and i reinstalled firefox plugin twice while trying stuff…
the file associations in mozila’s about:plugins have asx files set on “wmp firefox plugin”
by the way, the links used to work fine, until some1 messed with something (that i dont know of) so i dont think it’s a hardware issue… the pc could and should handle it
been also trying to uninstall or reinstall wmp11 in order to reset it’s settings but, as i found out u cant do that on vista
ive been messing around with loads of stuff all day with no luck…
any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers
