Cannot open MRL

Postby thefallenghost » 11 Dec 2011 06:54

Hello,

I've had problems opening a specific link in VLC, although it opens without a hitch in Windows Media Player and I'm usually able to open MRLs in VLC. The mrl is:
http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/pla ... maudio_com

I get three times the same error in a row:

Code: Select all

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'mms://uni2.sa.streamaudio.com/TEST_ACCESS/Denied.wma'. Check the log for details. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'mms://1.uni2.sa.streamaudio.com/TEST_ACCESS/Denied.wma'. Check the log for details. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'mms://2.uni2.sa.streamaudio.com/TEST_ACCESS/Denied.wma'. Check the log for details.
Please help!
Thanks.

I fear it's not the server.
I used VLC 1.1.11 and I report the same issue of Thefallenghost. I have uninstalled it and I have installed the older VLC 1.1.4.
It works now!

It's sad to say: now VLC 1.1.4 no longer works. It no longer opens those MRLs, just like VLC 1.1.11. I have got a bad surprise.
Windows Media Player works in any case instead.
VLC must be fixed indeed.

Both of these work fine in VLC 1.2.0 nightly builds
