MM3 does not play some URL streams

[flashk]

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.

Ok, I see. MM treats this URL as a PHP file and thus can't play it. It will be fixed in the next release.

I don't know if this is the same problem or not, but my copy of MM 3.0.1 won't play any streams at all. All versions of MM 2.xxx played them with no problem.
