Initially, my installation of XBMC 11 on a Mac Mini worked fine playing Clubbing Station US and Clubbing Station Europe (URLs http://streamer1.clubbingstation.com/Clu...ion-Ca-aac and http://streamer1.clubbingstation.com/Clu...ion-Fr-aac respectively) but then suddenly stopped working one day. If I try to open them I get the 'working' spinning wheel for a few seconds and then nothing happens. The log file says:

Those URLs work fine on the same Mac Mini playing with VLC and iTunes, so it doesn't appear to be a network problem. The media info displayed by VLC for the stream is:

Type: Audio
Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)
Channerls: Stero
Sample rate: 44100 Hz
AAC extension: SBR

All my other internet streams play fine on XBMC.

I thought it might just be a bug in XBMC 11, but I have just installed XBMC 12 and it won't play those two streams (but plays everything else fine).

Can anyone else play those streams using XBMC 12? Or does everyone else have the same problem? Is there something non-standard about the Clubbing Station stream format that prevents XBMC (but not VLC or iTunes) from playing it?
