Unplayable stream - any solution?

[krisbee]

I've tried tp play/rip this stream with vlc 0.8.6a, but had no luck. I've listed the error output below.

The stream is: http:/mediasrv.musicradio.com/classicfm

This seems to get translated into: mms://mediasrv.musicradio.com/classicfm?MSWMExt=.asf

Which later gets a: HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request

Looks like Windows not playing nice, as of course this opens and plays in windows media player. Adding the "MSWMExt=.asf" seems to screw up vlc.

The error messages are:

VLC is not the only player that won't open the stream. MPlayer, MPC and VLC do NOT work with this URL

[krisbee]

Ok, I'm in Linux now. Same problems as windows trying to use VLC with this url. Mpalyer does work.

The stream opens in Firefox using mplayer as a plugin.

The stream opens at the CLI command using:

mplayer -vc null -vo null -nojoystick -nolirc http://mediasrv.musicradio.com/classicfm

The stream also opens in mplayer at the CLI using:

mplayer -vc null -vo null -nojoystick -nolirc -playlist aplaylist.txt

where aplaylist.txt contains the line: http://mediasrv.musicradio.com/classicfm

I don't know VLC well, maybe I can put the classicfm url in a playlist

But I was hoping to rip and save this stream and the GUI appears to need just the basic url to work with.

Any other ideas?

The KMPlayer (Windows) plays it too.
