Hello,
I tried to set up internet radio streaming (mms) link by the guide :
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO:_Play...et_Streams

I made a .strm that contains the mss link, tried to listen with PAPlayer & DVDPlayer and it didn't work by both :/
I test the link with VLC and it works fine, i also test other streaming link that working in VLC but didn't work in XBMC.

Anyone knows how i solve it ?

Thanks
One quick question is your version compiled with mms support?
I can play mms links with the setup that i have but it's still a work in progress.
Having XBMC hang from playing internet streams are not uncommon.
Somtimes i haveto restart xbmc 3-4 times before it works and somtimes it just works.
This is to be expected since the mms code is kind of new.

Personaly i only use m3u playlists dont think that should matter but it migth be worth a shot.
My reson for m3u is that winamp is a simple application to make playlists in.

"No good support for streaming video from the internet (HTTP/HTTPS/UDP/RTSP/RTP/RTCP/RDT/SDP/MMS)"

I hope there will be a good support for streaming in the future.
is libmms-dev installed on your system.
that will decide if your build gets mms support

The package was installed.
Can you explain how you hear/watch streaming ?
(sorry for the double post, but "You may not edit your posts")
i just let winamp open the radio file and saves winamps playlist in a networkshare that the linux xbmc pc can reach. den i just select that playlist in musicmode and select the stream that i wish to listen to. with default setting's it can buffer the song for a really long time.
worst case has been a bit over 5 minuts. and after that it either starts playing or xbmc crasches
By looking at this thread i found how to make it works :

Code:
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1

File1=mms://
Title1=Radio
Length1=-1

Version=2

save the file as name.pls and run it with XBMC, works great.
