Since mms got deprecated
Many content providers using Flash-based players will go to great
lengths to hide the actual stream URLs (using a Flash-based player being
the first length).
While it can be difficult-to-impossible to extract the stream from
player markup and scripts, it's generally possible to figure it out

Yes I agree most PSBs can be played on the Squeezebox, but there are
some other examples I can think of:
All Belarus national PSB streams are WMA 128k but can't be played on the
Squeezebox e.g. http://www.tvr.by/liveair/radius.asx (Radius FM)

MPEG4 podcasts are generally aimed at PC playback and frequently have a
"video" content even if it is just

An m3u8 file is a playlist file, the actual URL will be in the file.
Do you have an example file that you are having an issue with? Have you
tried the same file but using LMS locally? You may find LMS will
transcode if it's actually streaming in a format the SBT can't play.

Hi all.
It's been a while since I've been on here, but was wondering, if, in the
