Can someone test this url for me please to see if it's working, I can't get this online rock radio station to play.

http://www.arrow.nl/rock/

click on the top right where it says "luister nu naar arrow classic rock"

I have tested it (in Windows) with my personal Linux usable 18112-plus
version, which includes Active X support, and the station
played correctly.
Have you Active X support installed, and javascript turned on ?
It is possible, that a recent Windows Media Player must be installed,
because a certain codec is required, that is not present in older
versions of Windows Media Player.
You can test that by entering the mms :
mms://arrowstream.atinet.nl/arrowstream
directly in your Windows Media Player.
Regards
Fred

I never used and never will use Active-X to be able to play music with this big shit named Windows media player.

I just install some other products as Real Alternative, QuickTime alternative and recently vlc + its plugin, and I have no problem to listen to your radio without WMP

I just must change the association in Advanced Preferences (File Types) and replace Windows Media Player by VLC Multimedia Plugin.

No need to use Active-X, It works great.

You could also use mplayer, which I use in Linux,
and which has now also a Windows version. It plays almost
every existing stream type. Download and info here :

VLC is also very good now.

Fred

P.S.
For mplayer in Windows you need MPlayer-1.0rc2-gui.zip and
the Codecpack Windows x86 20071007 called windows-essential-20071007.zip

Unpack first the first zip file and and copy the codecs after
unpacking the second zip into the folder "codecs" in the Mplayer
folder that has been created when unpacking the first zip.

Fred

Thanks very much for your help.

I have it working o'k in vlc and MPlayer but not in k-meleon itself, which is strange because I had it working fine in K-M a month or two ago.

I can get it to work directly in Firefox but not Opera (which also use to be o'k} or internet explorer ..... Weird!

Most other other web radios are fine with K-M

I presume that you are using Hao's latest beta version.
He uses a special Adblock.css and ad.css to block unwanted content.
Additionally it is possible in this version to block personally
unwanted content.
Citation :

+ Rightbutton adds 'block item in userContent.css' menu on images
+ userContent.css filtering will have preview function now. Once you add the item by using the 'block item in userContent.css' menu or in the adfilter panel, the current webpage will show the effect after filtering. However, for loading the new filters in userContent.css, you still need to restart K-Meleon.

I would have a look into userContent.css, which is inside the chrome
folder of your profile, and temporarily disable the concerned files
Adblock.css, ad.css and userContent.css by renaming them to for example
2Adblock.css, 2ad.css and 2userContent.css.

If after a browser restart you can receive the radio stream, there
would have been blocked something by one of these Adblock files,
and you could start looking for the line that is blocking it.

Fred

Have you put the vlc plugin in plugins ?

Thank you for your considered replies.

However it won't work on any k-meleon for me - even an older Hao version without adblock which used to fine on this radio staion.


where do I find the vlc plugin please, what is it's name.?

I'm happy now I can use vlc and Mplayer but am intrigued as to why its not working directly in so many browsers, whereas it used to.
I've not consciously changed anything.

In vlc folder, you have a file names npvlc.dll

Just copy it in plugins folder under k-Meleon

Generally, plugins for mozilla are named npxxxx.dll where np means Netscape Plugin

It's for example the case for orbitdownloader, freshdown, and many more.
Sometimes, installations declare it for Mozilla, and as K-Meleon is declared as Mozilla browser, it works directly, sometimes, you must have the plugin dll (and sometimes more) in k-meleon plugins folder (warning, not kplugins folder)
