Single file streaming error

Single file streaming error - 21/03/2003 23:59

Hi all,

I seem to be having a simple problem that I am hoping someone may be able to help me with. I have a Mk2a running 200b13 and hijack v320. I recently started playing around with accessing the unit via a browser and ran into a my problem.

I can stream playlists from the player without problem. However, when I try to stream a single file, my player (WMP 9.0) gets stuck connecting and finally gives an error, "Windows Media Player cannot play this file because the associated Windows Media metafile playlist is not valid." The associated error code is as follows: "0xC00D119D: Cannot play this file". Is there any difference in the header information when a list is streamed rather than just one song?

I was curious if I am the only one to have encountered this. I have attempted to use Quicktime 6 and WMP8. Both players just seam to hang and stop responding but don't give an error message.

Thanks in advance for your help and for making the most unbelievable MP3 player even more incredible.

Thanks!
Richard Bruce

Just curious: Does WinAmp play it correctly?

Tony,

Thanks for the reply. WinAmp won't receive streaming playlists or individual files. I configured verbose output for khttpd, and below is what I got. Comments inline.

<initiating a connection to http://192.168.0.52/?playlists> 

khttpd: 192.168.0.52 connection from 192.168.0.2

<I'm not sure why I'm getting the error above or what it means, but the page displays fine. Next I attempted to stream the playlist "Virginia's" to WinAmp. WinAmp loads but doesn't appear to do anything. I can't explain why the khttpd log lists 2 connection attempts.>
