WXPN in the northeast US.

The station streams just fine in Firefox.

This is the link supplied on the web page for the .pls format:

http://wxpnhi.streamguys.com/listen.pls

I donwload the .pls file and it contains the following:

cat listen.pls
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://wxpnhi.streamguys.com:80/xpnhidale

I have tried navigating to the file in XBMC.
I have tried entering the first url.
I have tried entering the url in the .pls file directly.

Nothing happens.

After reading through here a bit I get the sense that I should be able to point XBMC at the .pls file and things should go well.

What blindingly obvious thing am I missing?

No one uses .pls files?

Tried that - it looks sort of pukes the html of the link into the file listing interface.
Wish I could grab a screen shot to show you.

edit your m3u file to just have the url in it only
try again it will work

Nope. Locked up xbmc so solid I have to yank the power on the mac.
Correction - I was able to ssh in and do a shut down.

Contents of the xbmc.log right before I did the shutdown:

I can click on the exact same file on my Linux desktop and it fires right up.
