Why won't VLC 2.0.1 play this stream?

Postby burningbush » 23 Mar 2012 20:47

The stream:
http://voiceofvashon.serverroom.us:4256/listen.pls

Winamp plays it.
WMP plays it.
Heck, even foobar2000 plays it.

VLC just sits there.

TIA for help.

So, WMP, foobar2000, mPlayer, and SMPlayer play it by "accident?" :?

No. I would guess they use different user agent string with that server. VLC currently don't have option to change that, since it was marked as private with VLC 2.0.x.
