hi i need to add some streaming media files to a website. the files are hosted on an Icecast server and i link to them from my webserver using .m3u files. the files stream ok for users with Firefox/Winamp but for IE users i just get a page with an embedded QuickTime player in it which just hangs. this also hangs for me using Mozilla/Win2K. i've made sure that /etc/mime.types on the Icecast server contains the following and i've restarted Apache/Icecast: audio/MP3 .mp3 audio/m3u .mpu audio/x-mpeg .mp3 audio/x-mpegurl .m3u audio/x-mpegurl .mp3url anything obvious that i've overlooked or should be doing? thanks in advance. chip
