Yes.
I took the intros out of our production setup, I setup a test relay on
another server:
http://38.116.36.62:8000/ClassicRock if you access the stream with Windows
Media Player, or iTunes, the into plays and then the stream plays.  If you
put it in a playlist and try it with RealPlayer, you will get the error
message.

Example Playlist file:
[playlist]
File1=http://38.116.36.62/ClassicRock
Title1=Test
Length1=-1
NumberOfEntries=1
Version=2

The fix I put in was for providing some metadata initially, as real player
went odd with the single 1 byte nul, it applies to relays as well as source
clients.

I don't see why it would be the single nul byte now, is your stream
accessible to check the contents from here ?

realplayer 10 fails here with unsupported document type, so it's a
different message to what you get, xmms is ok.

Can you verify whether it is just intro file related, and if so whether
using a normal mp3 intro file (ie no ID3 tags) works ?

karl.

I can open the intro directly in RealPlayer with the following playist:
[playlist]
File1=http://radio002.batanga.com:8000/MP3/BatangaGenericIntroEN-56k.mp3
Title1=Test
Length1=-1
NumberOfEntries=1
Version=2


I'll remake the Intro without the ID3 tags and see if that helps.

Your assumption was correct - I remade the MP3 without the ID3 tags and the
intro plays correctly in RealPlayer!
Thanks,
