Hello Everybody,
I'm having the strangest problem getting WMP 10 to stream from my
icecast server.
I'm currently serving two streams - one is a 128kbit/s mp3 stream,
the other is a 32kbit/s mp3 stream
Even when explicitly declaring the stream type to be http in
icecast.xml , the 32kbit/s stream buffers *VERY* slowly (it takes
about 3-5 min) in WMP before finally playing. *However* (and this is
the weird part), the 128kbit/s stream plays immediately, with no long
buffering whatsoever.
WMP is the only player that has this problem, everything else I've
tried (mac and pc iTunes, winamp, etc) works perfectly.
I realize this isn't the Microsoft mailing list, just wondering if
anybody has come across this problem and what they did to work around
it - I'd really like to avoid having to run Microsoft stream
authoring products if I could help it. I wonder if this is a ploy to
cripple their player in order to convince people to move to wma :^(
