Hi,

I think this is a well known issue.

If you specify:

setup audio input "http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/wm_asx/aod/radio1_hi.asx"

(a playlist).

It doesn't work.

But if you dig into that file and pull out one of the entries:

setup audio input "mms://wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/bbc_ami/radio1/radio1_bb_live_ep1_sl1?BBC-UID=f4a923e3a10b1530b4ae8d0300508937a66f722d20e0a114a46f69978d36e14f&SSO2-UID="

Everything works fine.

Does anyone have any workarounds to get a playlist to work or know if this is likely to be fixed?

No, please fill a bugreport.

My work around for the moment is to expand the playlist myself - not ideal turned out to be very tricky.

Then you can have:

setup audio input "mms://stream1"
setup audio input "mms://stream2"

and VLC will skip over duff streams and move to the next one.
