WMA / ASX streaming is broken with v 6.2.b1

Vers 6.2.b1 has problem playing streaming wma: On version 6.1.2, the following playlist (NPR Newscast.m3u) plays just fine: [CODE] #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,NPR Newscast http://www.npr.org/dmg/dmg.php? getNewsCast=true&NPRMediaPref=WM&getUnderwriting=1 [/CODE] Slimserver 6.1.2 spawns three tasks: socketwrapper.exe, wmadec.exe, and flac.exe: [CODE] "C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi- thread\socketwrapper.exe" -o 1244 -c "\"C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\wmadec.exe\" -r 44100 -b 16 -n 2 \"mms://216.35.221.84/newscast/newscast.wma\" | \"C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\flac.exe\" -cs --totally- silent --compression-level-0 --endian little --sign signed --channels 2 --bps 16 --sample-rate 44100 -" [/CODE] Slimserver 6.2.b1 does spit out this warning: Warning: 'ParserOpts' is deprecated, contact the author if you need it at C:/Program Files/SlimServer/server/Slim/Formats/Parse.pm line 770 With Slimserver 6.2.b1, the playlist doesn't play at all, and slimserver spits out: 2005-09-05 15:58:51.8662 Slim::Formats::Parse::readASX: WARNING: HASH(0x44bd19c) found in playlist: http://www.npr.org/dmg/dmg.php? getNewsCast=true&NPRMediaPref=WM&getUnderwriting=1 doesn't exist on disk - skipping!

...or will this be resolved when Vidura gets the new native wma decoding working with radio streams?
This was a known and acknowledged limitation, annoucced as part of the WMA native support in both the beta and developers forums. Comment out the: wma wma squeezebox2 * - lines in convert.conf if you want to have it back.
Sorry, that doesn't seem to fix it. I tried the following: Stopped Slimserver Commented out wma wma * * in convert.conf Restarted Slimserver Attempted to play my NRP Newscast.m3u playlist. I still got the same error: 2005-09-05 21:01:55.4256 Slim::Formats::Parse::readASX: WARNING: HASH(0x44bd094) found in playlist: http://www.npr.org/dmg/dmg.php? getNewsCast=true&NPRMediaPref=WM&getUnderwriting=1 doesn't exist on disk - skipping! What about Triode's comment in this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16023 Dan, I think playlistEntryIsValid should run isRemoteURL on the url not the entry? [Seems to work when it does!] Adrian
Created attachment 803 [details] Playlists that play under 6.1.2, but don't under 6.2.b1
Fixed in subversion change 4180.
Yup. Works for me. Thanks!
