XMMS unable to play .pls files

[rayz]

Hi, I just installed Knoppix 3.3 and I am having trouble opening shoutcast streams with XMMS. It cannot even open saved .pls files on my harddrive. when i double click the .pls file and XMMS opens, instead of opening the stream, nothing shows up on the playlist and a new window pops up prompting me to select a file to play.

I also checked the file association, xmms is selected for .pls file. I have run out of tricks. It would be great if one of you guys can help me...

Thanks

Ray

Never done it, but a google threw up this:

(seems there's a very specific way to do it)

Go read all about it in the users manual here:

Hint:

Mime types.

The SHOUTcast database was broken all day Saturday. It's fixed now, and works fine.

Loper is right. I couldn't get Shoutcast streams to play Saturday either. It appears to be working fine now.
