MPC and Ogg/Vorbis radio

[jkwarras]

Hi,

I use MPC 6.4.8.1. to playback internet radios (.asx) in MP3 format, and it works great: light, no 'big' CPU ressources needed and I like the favorites tab, very useful.

But, recently I'm trying to listen to Ogg/Vorbis radios but there's no chance, MPc doesn't seems to render the file. This what I get when i try to connect to this:

http://ogg.smgradio.com:80/vr96.ogg
http://www.the-basement-site.com:8020/listen.ogg
http://icecast.3wk.com:80/3wk-128.ogg

I have CoreVorbis DSfilter installed and OggDS installed (last stable version from Tobias site). I've tried to enable and disable the Ogg splitter built-in MPC plug-in, but this doesn't help.

These radios uses (as far as I know) shoutcast/icecast and I see that MPC can handle that (Shoutcast receiver plug-in).

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Doesn't MPC support that ogg radios streaming at all? Any help will be appretiated.

BTW connecting with Foobar works fine.

Regards and thanks in advance.

Currently there is no icecast source filter for directshow at all.

Is there different formats for/in .asx? I tried some internet radios, but they didn't work (those I was interested in), some did although.

Yep, I think asx can also stream WMA.

And MPC can't play streaming WMA, only stored WMA-files? (It's not rhetorical, I'm just stupid ;-)
