[Streaming] Windows playlists usually won't work?

I'm starting fb2k with all protocols offered on vtuner.com - it usually fails when it comes to wma, asx, asf...

Example: http://vtuner.com/setupapp/guide/asp/func/...k=1&id=8286

Code: [Select]
Could not load info (IWMSyncReader::OpenStream failed : Unrecognized stream type (0xC00D0026)) from:
"C:\Users\Michel\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera x64\temporary_downloads\702_16 (3).asf"


Contents of the asf text file which is in OPeras temporary download folder:

Code: [Select]

Ref2=http://216.246.37.51:80/702_16?MSWMExt=.asf
     

So is fb2k still a strict parser or is it an unsupported format here?

It works for me if I use "File/Add location..." for the HTTP link to either the playlist or one of the referenced files. If I download the ASX playlist to a local drive and then add it to foobar2000 I get an error when I try to play the file:

Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported file format):
"D:\Users\Holger\Downloads\702_16.asx"
This is on Windows 7 SP1.

This error comes from the Windows Media runtime and might be related to the knowledge base article Error: The Specified Stream Type Is Not Recognized (0xc00d0026) when Starting Program, in particular the following part:

Note that local file system paths such as C:\Asfroot\Sample.asf and UNC paths such as \\server1\fileshare\sample.asf are not valid paths.

Ah great. It seems in case of wma streams it is better to use the option "send url directly to player" in the Opera file type options. This way, e.g. http://vtuner.com/setupapp/guide/asp/func/...=1&id=35804 works. If unchecked, its not working via an intermediate local asx temp file.
