Re: HI Neil Smith - MVP can u look at this post?

OK well I tried the page in IE/PC and it worked out fine (though not
of course in Firefox which needs different object tags).

So then I loaded up the PPC, WM2003 1st edition and checked the page
in pocket IE. As you say, no dice.

Next I started up WMP9 standalone on the PPC, and tried to File-> Open
the URL. The player reported 'cannot play the file'.

The next check I made was to telnet to the URL/Port, and while I
expected to see indication of WM services or WM Encoder, it looks to
be a Shoutcast server instead.

WMP on any PPC doesn't play Shoutcast streams.

To confirm it was playable, I started TCPMP media player, which is
able to connect to Shoutcast. It played the stream, though with a few
glitches, but really that's your answer right there (i.e no chance;-)

More importantly, did you re-do the web page with the correct protocol
URL yet ? It'll only take 5 minuets to establish if this is the cause.

Im not sure, I think I have....can u please clarify if I did? I am
using the following code at www.mubiquity.com .

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<OBJECT ID="Player" height="200" width="240"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">

</OBJECT>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="BtnPlay" VALUE="Play" OnClick="StartMeUp()">
<SCRIPT>
<!--
function StartMeUp ()
{

Player.URL = "http://69.250.165.134:8000";;

}

function ShutMeDown ()
{
Player.controls.stop();

}

-->
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Is "http://69.250.165.134:8000"; not the correct protocol? If you go to
my site you will be able to hit the play button and tune into my
stream.

Thank you again for your interest, thoughts and suggestions!
