Can't load ASX streams ?
 

Using 1.30 Pro Build 818 under XP SP2, WMP 9 is FULLY INSTALLED. ASX streams play perfectly under WMP9, but I prefer BSPlayer...it used to work then suddenly stopped. Now all I get are "Cannot open file" failures... Suggestions ?

I tried a clean reinstall of WMP9 which did not help. Please DO NOT suggest I "Install media codec 9" as it is installed and these streams play just fine under WMP 9.

Same problem.
 

I have the exact same problem. :x But I use 1.35 Build 823 under XP SP2.
I also have no problem at all playing the .asx in WMP. But BSPlayer won't play it - saying "Cannot open file"...
When opening the .asx in an editor it refers me to a file which is not .asf but .wmv.

Here is the whole .asx-file:

The question is... is this a .asx handler problem? Is ASX Version 3.0 anything new?
How do I get BSPlayer to play this file?
When chaning the reference from "mms://wms.dr.dk/storage/auto/Nyheder/udefra/udefra.wmv" to "http://wms.dr.dk/storage/auto/Nyheder/udefra/udefra.wmv " the URL plays fine in BSPlayer.

Anybody?

Just two dumb questions:

1. the extension(s) in question are duly associated with BSPlayer? (under Options > Preferences > General > File types)
2. the last checkbox under General settings (Options > Preferences > General) i.e. "Open locked media files (files in use)" is selected?

:wink:

Well... thx.
Your questions or suggestions made no difference what so ever. Tried them both.

1. ...duly associated with BSPlayer ? Forgive my ignorance but would it make a difference. It plays other file types, which are associated with other players ?!?!

2. Didn't work either :cry:

Any other suggestions?

Stream is working OK in here. Here is the list of WMP codecs I have installed on every system I install (now i have over 100):

asftools310.exe
wm8eutil_setup.exe
WMEncoder.exe
WMFDist.exe
WMPCDCS8.exe
WMPCDCS9.exe
wmtools.exe
wmv9VCMsetup.exe

So, if here is working you probably lack one of the filters/codecs.
