Description Kevin Pearsall 2004-11-23 16:55:17 UTC

STR:
- Go to Internet Radio and Playlist Files
- Try to tune in to: http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/goodhopefm/goodhopefm_22.asx
- Get a script error dialog
- Click yes, and the current playlist on the right looks all screwy, and doesn't
play anyhow.

This asx playlist doesn't play, Vidur says because of an unescaped & in the
playlist.  But if you extract the mms URL from the playlist it works...  (But
still gripes about a script error)

Fixed the & case. Reopen this bug if other XML reserved characters show up in
ASX files (I haven't yet seen cases of that).

There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006.  I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.

Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion.  I apologize for the inconvenience.
