The rtsp prefix is used by a number of protocols including, RealAudio, Apple and an internet standard.
When BBC used RealAudio stream - they had the rtsp:// prefix - REalAudio was support using the AlienBBC plugin. The BBC have now stopped using RealAudio and now the BBC iPlayer plugin support Flash/Audio which uses the rtmp:// prefix. The BBC plugins will not help you. Your stream is odd/unusual as it seems to be a standard rtsp which encapsulates a WMA stream. I think this is the way Microsoft is trying to get users to use a MS specific stream having stopped supporting their earlier proprietary mms protocol. AFAIK there is no SBS plugin support for this MS rtsp format. However if you use a local SBS server with WMA transcoding support. Disable Windows Media "native" under WebUI Settings/Advanced/Filetypes and then the stream will play if you use the mms version of the URL mms://alive.rbc.cn/fm974 -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84929 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
