Description
Capital FM used to work quite happily with MPlayer.
A short while ago, they improved? their internet
streaming and now their new url fails.
The streams work fine with Windows Media Player
but I would really like to get this working again
with MPLayer as I have invested a lot of time in
a Java wrapper for MPlayer.
Their main internet radio page is -
http://rope.icgo.fimc.net/staticweb/onair_players/onair_capitalfm/player/player.htm
The streams seem to be -
http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/playlist.asx?streamid=76
http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/playlist.asx?streamid=1
http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/playlist.asx?streamid=51
Any help is much appreciated.

This is a playlist not a media file. -playlist sometimes helps, but usually it
is much simpler to just wget it and look inside.
This works for me: http://mediasrv-the.musicradio.com/CapitalRadio
Don't forget to set -bandwidth to something appropriate, you might get the wrong
stream otherwise.

Many thanks for such a quick solution and thanks
for pointing me at wget - this looks very useful.

Actually at least in this case even the -playlist options works correctly,
playing both the advertisement before and the stream itself (had forgotten to
remove some code I added during experimenting).
If you don't know it already this might make things easier (though I never tried
it myself): http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/
This is the MPlayer o/p -
