Is it possible to reliably stream Windows Media (.asx, .wvx, .wax) in MPC-HC or MPC-BE? I usually cannot get the links to work at all and it has been this way for years. In fact, as of the latest nightly builds, I cannot even get MPC-HC to play .asx playlists that it creates itself!
As I understand it, .asx files are text files with links to media, same as most other playlists. Is there a way we can work on support for this?
This link has a lot of streaming links to test (click on the "Listen" tab once you are on the website):

I was able to get the .m3u and .ogg files to stream and I have also successfully gotten .pls (SHOUTcast) streams working. However, the .asx files (and the RealMedia .ram files) do not work. I have tried several suggestions such as ensuring I have the latest DirectX and trying to copy and paste a mms:// link into the player but, for the most part, nothing seems to work.
Here is the code within the 64k/24k .asx file on the site:
<asx Version = "3.0">

Has anyone been able to get .asx/.ram streaming files to work consistently? Please help!
