Can't play a network stream using vlc

Hi,

It is very strange that I can't play the following network stream using vlc.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/meta/tx/nb/h ... _au_nb.asx

The messages that I see in the 'Messages' tool is this:

I can't understand what is the cause of the error, because I can play the stream using Windows Media Player. The version of vlc is "VLC media player 2.0.0 Twoflower" and the version of Windows is "Windows 7 Home Basic".

Thanks.

Maybe because the ASX is badly made with a lot of useless empty lines and spaces at the beginning ?

Code: Select all

<ASX VERSION="3.0"> <Title>BBC World Service</TITLE> <AUTHOR>BBC World Service</AUTHOR> <ENTRY> <REF HREF="mms://a406.v39440a.c39440.e.vm.akamaistream.net/7/406/39440/201212290810/bbcworldservice.download.akamai.com/39440/hindi/tx/nb/din_bhar.wma"/> </ENTRY> </ASX>
However the direct URL works:
mms://a406.v39440a.c39440.e.vm.akamaistream.net/7/406/39440/201212290810/bbcworldservice.download.akamai.com/39440/hindi/tx/nb/din_bhar.wma

The version of vlc is "VLC media player 2.0.0 Twoflower"
Update to v2.0.5 anyway :)
