Why doesn't this URL work with SN?

mms://72.236.125.114/whog

If I type this URL into a browser it brings up Media Player no problem. In Properties, the location is the same. But it will not play through SqueezeNetwork or SlimServer as a tune-in.

I'm bummed because it is a great station.

This URL works on my system; I'm listening to "The Hog" on my Transporter as I type this.

Go to SlimServer->Server Settings->File Types->File Format Conversion Setup.

I have the boxes for "Windows Media - FLAC" and "Windows Media - WAV" checked, but "Windows Media - MP3" and "Windows Media - Windows Media (builtin)" NOT checked.

This station plays using mplayer on my system; you need the Alien BBC plugin for that. Download Alien BBC from http://www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/index.html#downloads

With Alien BBC and the File Format Conversions as specified above, I can go to "Tune In URL" in SlimServer, enter mms://72.236.125.114/whog, and listen to "Daytona's Classic Rock Station - 95.7 - The HOG".

Hope this works for you!
