1) make sure "direct streaming" is set as MP3 streaming method for the player. 2) subscribe to the Stackoverflow podcast using Squeezecenter. Subscription url: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/index.php?feed=podcast 3) try playing episode #25 (I don't know if this is episode-specific or a problem with all episodes; I only tested with the latest episode). 4) notice that you get "checking stream ..." and then no sound 5) change MP3 streaming method to "proxied streaming" 6) try playing episode #25 again 7) notice that the podcast plays fine Bug also repruducable on Squeezebox Boom Direct link to audio file: http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/audio/download/ITC.SO-Episode25-2008.10.07.mp3

This ironically named podcast sends a cookie header that is about 2.5K in size and this causes a problem with the firmware allocation for the HTTP request string. I've added code to strip long cookies and these files play now. Fixed in change 23871.
This bug has been fixed in the 7.3.0 release version of SqueezeCenter! Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html if you haven't already. If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
