Playing .pls, .asx, & .m3u audio streams

Post by jaxjon »

I have created 3 different playlist files pointing to an audio stream that work perfectly in Winamp. How do I get them to work in MMonkey? If not able to now , it would be a nice addition. I know .m3u is the only file type of the three that MMonkey recognizes.
Thanks.

Streaming isn't possible in MM, but with a plugin from http://classic.winamp.com you might be able to, I don't know.

Let us know here if you find something.

I have been looking for a plugin for the past two days and have come up with nothing. I tried plugins already in Winamp, and downloaded others, but nothing works. Not for lack of trying. I will continue to look for possible solutions.
Thanks.

I believe that streaming media is on the to-do list in MM, but doesn't have a high priority.
As for the plugin it might not exist as I guess WinAmp plays these streams natively.

Anyway good luck!

I would also like to listen to streaming files with MM. I listen to allot of internet radio (live365.com).

I would think that there are some open-source packages for handling streaming audio. The devs could just use that code. If none exists, I'm sure that somebody made a parser that would be willing to share. It's just a matter of who you know and all.
