- Bug: Certain ASX playlist files are not parsed properly.
Thanks for the release.
This ASX stream isn't played by foobar2000: http://www.polskieradio.pl/sluchaj/play.aspx?p=r1 (http://www.polskieradio.pl/sluchaj/play.aspx?p=r1)
This ASX stream isn't played by foobar2000: http://www.polskieradio.pl/sluchaj/play.aspx?p=r1 (http://www.polskieradio.pl/sluchaj/play.aspx?p=r1)
Their ASX file is broken:
<ref href = "mms://stream.polskieradio.pl/program1">
Should be:
<ref href = "mms://stream.polskieradio.pl/program1" />
Oh, this can be corrected manually. Thanks.
ASX files containing accented characters aren't handled correctly.
Example: http://www.polskieradio.pl/st/program3M.asx (http://www.polskieradio.pl/st/program3M.asx)
The "ó" in the Title tag makes the file unplayable.
That's not a valid UTF-8, I guess.
BBC asx streams are not working, eg

Can you confirm if these are also broken asx or if this is a bug, please?
They work in WMP/VLC.
Thanks.

If a stream works without errors in common players, it should be considered as a bug if it doesn't work in foobar. These are web resources, Postel's law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postel's_law) applies (within limits). This is utterly annoying for the developers, but the feature is much less useful if it only works on perfectly valid asx files.

Problem triggered by server not returning content-length, fixed for the next update, thanks for reporting.
You can download the ASX file using your web browser, save it then open the saved copy in foobar2000.

Works fine here in beta2a.
Thanks for the update.
There is one problem with recommending removing support for the mslive plugin. Foobar2000 only works on this stream with the mslive plugin:
http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640 (http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640)
The stream is in asx format (wma/mms:). The link is to my script that generates a stream for ClearChannel websites (they want you to use flash).
For now I will just continue to use the mslive plugin.
@hechacker1: Your script doesn't set the proper Content-Type HTTP header.
here is a list of MIME types for Windows Media stuff: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288102 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288102)
Foobar2000 only works on this stream with the mslive plugin:
http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640 (http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640)
ASX is supposed to be an XML document, therefore you ought to escape ampersands to &.
I added the content type to my script:
Content-type: audio/x-ms-wma
But it made no difference for foobar.
As far as changing the ampersands, I just use a perl script to take clear channel's randomly generated strings and pass it as a simple asx file.
I guess I can regex replace their generated content.. but it works fine with other players and mslive.
I'll do it later, hopefully with a simple regex.
XML::Writer (http://search.cpan.org/~josephw/XML-Writer-0.606/Writer.pm) or XML::Generator (http://search.cpan.org/~bholzman/XML-Generator-1.01/Generator.pm).
I added the content type to my script:
Content-type: audio/x-ms-wma
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Stream_Redirector: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Stream_Redirector:)
ASX files have MIME type video/x-ms-asf (as do ASF files).

Thanks for the MS streaming support! As we know from experience (foo_input_mslive) this is a hard task, often due to not standard compliant xml files. From the philosophy of fb2k I know you won't workaround things. Anyway, this one also doesn't work, I think the xml is alright:
http://radiodresden.stream.green.ch/radiodresden.wax (http://radiodresden.stream.green.ch/radiodresden.wax)
contents:
<ASX version = "3.0">
<title>Radio Dresden</title>
<Entry>
<Ref href = "mms://stream.green.ch/RadioDresden"/>
</Entry>
</ASX>
fb2k output:
Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported file format):
"http://radiodresden.stream.green.ch/radiodresden.wax"
Peter, are you thinking about Realaudio support? Unfortunately there's quite a few real-stuff around, BBC for instance...
Fixed, thanks for reporting.
Temporary workaround: download the .WAX file, rename to .ASX, open.
BBC for instance...

Tags for MMS streams are not displayed. mslive (or WMP): displayed; foobar: not displayed. Should it be that way?

Metadata in mms-streamed wma. Unfortunately, its our local radio, so its impossible for me to give its url to you (only screenshots - it is not really helpful, is it?).
But for example mms://fr1.101.ru/v1_1_128 (mslive at least shows NRJ as artist/title like WMP does, foobar shows nothing). And those on local server in mslive info has that string:
<HASSCRIPT> : Yes
P.S. Sorry, if I'm being dense or non-clearly understandable - my English is not too good.
Have no idea if this is helpful.
mms://fr1.101.ru/v1_1_128
Plays for me while showing:

NRJ as %Title%.
Current beta

Shows artist/title as "NRJ" and copyright as "NRJ FM" here.

yeap, it doesn't show anything in the "Metadata" tab, only the filename is displayed.

OK, figured out what's wrong with the tags, will be fixed in beta 3.

See post #8[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=670318"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a].
Problem with previous mms-stream solved successfully in beta 3 (and with all of these, where %artist%=%title% like "NRJ - NRJ", "Montecarlo - Montecarlo"), but on one of our local mms-streams no artist is showed (in Metadata only Track title and Genre is showed, no Track Artist).

Not a valid XML file, contains invalid UTF-8 characters, please complain at the radio station admin.
Whether this will be fixed and how (there's no way to correctly display titles for such streams) depends on how widespread such cases are.
New bug incoming: when track title (of mms-streamed content) changes, player switches to next track in local playlist, not playing next track from mms-stream.
Any example streams where this happens?
I find the same question too, if one track in a radio station finished, FB will switch to another radio station, but not the next track
in the same radio station she just played.
An example stream--mms://music.outboundmusic.com/OMRadioPop
Another case, the player will auto parse the dynamic track title and album(amazing good), but if I switch to another radio station,
the dynamic track information will remain unchanged which I want change back to the defined radio station name. It will helpful
when the radio station name is displayed.
PS: Why not add "update" or "link" in the menu "help"? I think it will useful.

Broken radio station: they provide 3 URLs, just one actually works, we need to decide which one to pick at the time the playlist is loaded (foobar2000 inherently does not support multiple URLs per playlist entry); we favor RTSP and MMS over HTTP. Their RTSP and MMS links don't work in Windows Media Player either.

Thanks, my testing wasn't complete enough,,, So that means, fb2k uses the first (RTSP OR MMS) it finds in a multiple entry playlist?
This is not a multiple entry playlist. There is just one entry, with 3 URLs to choose from. We have to pick one; RTSP is currently preferred over MMS and then over HTTP.
The alternative solution would be to try all of them until we find one that works - at the time the ASX playlist is being loaded - but this would slow ASX loading down for everybody.
Hello Peter, these days I tried FK2B 1.0 beta 4 to play steam, she runs well in most of situations, there are two issues--
firstly, the track-numbers can't been displayed, it will helpful using "sort" command when we array the playlists.
The second issue is that the title will display "gibberish" if the defined name contain "&" or "," . The example showed below:

As ASX aspires to be XML-like, I'm rather surprised that your &s are not & entities.

Fixed, thanks for reporting.
Here's a patch for 1.0 beta 4 with all Windows Media related bug fixes so far:
[removed, beta 5 is out]
The beta 5 is gift to us all on schedule, thank you so much, Peter!
I have noticed in the "Properties" dialog box, the radio stream address is treated as filename, so "open containing folder" is disable,
besides, the value of "artist name" and "track title" can't been edited. Futhermore,if the steam have multi Urls, they won't displayed totally.
If we wanna edit the values mentioned before, we have to open the file and edit them.
Another thread I want to say, the ASX filename can been displayed as filename, and the "title" and "author" treated as "track title" and "artist name", and stream address is treated as the metadata "REF1", "REF2", etc, in this way,we can edit the "track title" and "artist name" because asx-file can be edited, and the steam's multi Urls can display totally.
Another implement is the tracknumber can been displayed that mentioned before. I know few about stream, I refer to the msdn, I don't know if the "Playlist.attributeCount"
can carry out. http://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/library/aa...-us,VS.85).aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/library/aa392453(en-us,VS.85).aspx)
Excuse me for my poor English.
Finally I found that stream world-wide available: http://cluster.quantumart.ru/broadcast/def...dia=station2000 (http://cluster.quantumart.ru/broadcast/default.aspx?media=station2000)
Quantum Art is displayed as artist.
P.S. In metadata for radio stations (all in my case) no info is displayed. Should it be that way in beta5 (wasn't in beta 4)?
Hi Peter, all entries inside the asx of BBC streams like http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r3.asx (http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r3.asx) will be displayed in the playlist. Can you make fb2k handling the stream choice internally, but only display the "outside asx"?
The best wishes
Michael
It doesn't work that way for M3U playlists with multiple entries for the same stream, I don't see why this should be any different.
On the other hand, if that were a playlist with multiple URLs for a single entry, it would only display a single item, but it would only pick the first link when you add the ASX.
Beta6 is out and no workaround for my problem (info for http://cluster.quantumart.ru/broadcast/def...dia=station2000 (http://cluster.quantumart.ru/broadcast/default.aspx?media=station2000) stream)... Is there a way to fix it it or i just should stick with mslive?

Please complain at the radio station administrator, they use custom metadata field names instead of ones defined in the Windows Media SDK.

Does that mean that WMP also uses these custom names?
P.S. Please, don't think that I'm trying to be impolite, I highly appreciate your work and I dont want to use this mslive plugin that just started to crush foobar sometimes. And unfortunately, its impossible to complain about this stream, because, though its being translated explicitly, it is not meant to be played with normal player, but with flash player provided by station. Also my posts could be dense, because I'm not too good at English.
Ok, so I have done extensive work on my perl script that just returns the asx generated by Clear Channel radio streams (asx, mms).
Here is the asx as passed by clearchannel:
http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640 (http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640)
Yes, I tried changing the content type to:
video/x-ms-as
But it doesn't make a difference for foobar. For the purpose of letting you read the script in the browser I don't have a content type set.
So looking at the asx ClearChannel returns, can you tell me what needs to be fixed? I have a subroutine that tries to fix their asx to be more xml like:
'&' => '&',
'<' => '<',
'>' => '>',
'"' => '"'
But doing that change doesn't help foobar load. I also tried just changing the ampersand with no luck. Is some part of the clearchannel asx broken or needs to be rewritten to work with foobar?
Thanks if you can take a look at it. Otherwise I will just have to stick with mslive or use vlc.
I also tried changing my script to 302 redirect foobar2000 to a generated asx file linux (ordorica.org/tune.asx), but it made no difference.
Here is the asx as passed by clearchannel:
The quotes are fine, as are the angle brackets. You just need to replace the ampersands with entities. In the links. Otherwise, they're not valid. (Unless, somehow, those links actually contain <> or ". Which I doubt.)

Ok, I have cleaned up ClearChannel's asx by removing leading and trailing whitespace, and changed & -> &.
See it here:
http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640 (http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640)
mslive can play the new asx returned ok. So can vlc.
But foobar2000 beta6 just says "unsupported file format."
I also tried changing the content type:
#print "Content-Type: video/x-ms-as; charset=iso-8859-1\n\n";
#print "Content-Type: video/x-ms-as\n\n";
I tried with iso-8859 as suggested by this site:
http://www.trollied.org/~blimey/blog.php?i...2008:1203026794 (http://www.trollied.org/~blimey/blog.php?id=tag:blimey@trollied.org,2008:1203026794)
But it made no change for foobar.
Any other suggestions? Finally, is there a way to disable that warning that my components are unsupported?
Thanks
EDIT: I had my script generate an .asx file and host it on my website:
http://ordorica.org/tune.asx (http://ordorica.org/tune.asx)
It only gets generated if you call this first:
http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640 (http://ordorica.org/tune.pl?station=kfi640)
And using this I can open a location (CTRL+U) to the .asx and foobar does load and play it!
So it seems foobar has a problem with loading from the content returned from the script itself.
Bump: Because I'm pretty sure the ASX is okay, but it still doesn't work with Foobar 1.0.1.
Alternatively: I am happy to use the mslive input plugin, but could we please get the option to prevent Foobar from nagging about it every time I open Foobar2000?
EDIT: The author of the mslive plugin renamed it to msl to get around the nag. I still wish for an option though.
I find a very strange situation, when I add the asx--"http://www.voanews.com/wm/live/newsnow.asx"--which I downloaded to my HDD, it runs well for a period time, but if change to another station and return this station, then it can't playback, and display the message: Unable to open item for playback (IWMReader::Open failed : 拒绝访问。 (0x80070005)):
And the stranger thing is if I add this asx file once again, the situation will occur again. I try this asx file in the media player, it runs well.
Does anybody notice that the stream played by FB seems slower - always several seconds - than by media player? Who knows the reason?
What kind of tags and not displayed where? Any specific stations where I can see this behavior?
I'm not getting the Artist and Title tags from these streams:
http://wms.absoluteradio.co.uk/absoluteradio.co.uk/a8_hi (http://wms.absoluteradio.co.uk/absoluteradio.co.uk/a8_hi)
http://wms.absoluteradio.co.uk/absoluteradio.co.uk/vc_hi (http://wms.absoluteradio.co.uk/absoluteradio.co.uk/vc_hi)
It's displaying twice the name of the radio instead.
However it's working fine with AIMP. Any thoughts ?
So, does anyone know a tagged WMA stream which is working fine on foobar ? Or is it still a known missing feature ?
