native WMA decoding in FW 19

Current svn and the next nightly contain firmware 20 (and some server
changes) to support Windows Media streaming. You can now play mms: URLs
on all platforms, though this version actually uses HTTP (with some
additions) to make the connection. Many, but possibly not all, WMA radio
stations support streaming via HTTP - we'd like to figure out
empirically which ones truly require MMS. I'm also aware of problems
with some pre-recorded streamed WMA content (e.g. the Fresh Air streams
on npr.org), which will be fixed in the next few days.

If you currently listen to any mms: streams, please try them out with
the new version and let me know if you hit any problems.

The two NPR streams that I listen to are working fine:

http://www.npr.org/dmg/dmg.php?getNewsCast=true&NPRMediaPref=WM&getUnderwriting=1

...and...

http://www.npr.org/dmg/dmg.php?getProgramStream=true&NPRMediaPref=WM

This AirAmerica stream isn't working:

http://play.rbn.com/play.asx?url=airam/airam/wmlive/live.asf&proto=mms?mswmext=.asx

(I checked that the url was playable in WMP on my XP box..it is.)

Two out of three ain't bad!

My Air America Stream.m3u playlist file, for testing:

#CURTRACK 0
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Air America Stream
http://play.rbn.com/play.asx?url=airam/airam/wmlive/live.asf&proto=mms?mswmext=.asx

I tried Xfm but this doesn't work in Squeezenetwork and it crashes SlimServer with this error:

2005-09-09 10:44:05.2153 Can't locate object method "url" via package "mms://ms2.capitalinteractive.co.uk/xfm_high" (per
haps you forgot to load "mms://ms2.capitalinteractive.co.uk/xfm_high"?) at /PerlApp/Slim/Player/Source.pm line 1650.

If I replace mms: with http: i get a forbidden response from the remote server.

Should this be working? Do I need to start from a higher level URL?

Sorry, that wasn't quite right - I was not on the right client.
This is what I actually get ( but note an mms stream now crashes SlimServer for non-SB2)

No, it does work (3rd try)
mms://ms2.capitalinteractive.co.uk/xfm_high

Should this work in Squeezenetwork yet?
I get an error there.
Something like "WMA error check filetypes"?

Tried to test it with my setup, but apparently the "Tune-In" function is broken; the server crashes when I try to enter the url into the tune-in window.

With the 09-09 nightly, I've not had any success with:
KFOG
http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/kfog_fm.asx
KTCZ
http://ccri.eonstreams.com/ccri_mn_m...is_ktcz_fm.asf

Thanks for any help.

This will not yet work with the SqueezeNetwork. The mms: URL below seems
to work with SlimServer and fw 20. The "Tune-In" form does seem a little
flaky - I'll take a look.
