I setup Ampache on my webserver so I can stream music from my home machine. This works perfectly with Winamp, Windows Media Player, iTunes, and even the iPhone. However, MM3 refuses to play any URLs generated by Ampache. I checked the access log of my web server and MM3 is not even attempting to open the URL. The Ampache URLs look something like this:
Code: Select all
http://myserver:8081/ampache/play/index.php?song=124776&uid=1&name=/songname.mp3
After messing around for a while I tracked down the problem to the question mark in the URL. If I remove the question mark or replace it with any other character, MM3 will attempt to open the URL. However, the music won't stream because the URL becomes invalid without the question mark.
Any chance of this being fixed soon? I know I can use other mp3 input plugins to play the URL, but it seems something this basic should work by default with MM3.
