Streaming Audio problem - help please

Post by Screeper »

Greetings all,

Ever since i've upgraded to Windows 7 I have been unable to stream live audio, in particular, 5FM.

It first happened when I was using the Win 7 RC and assumed there was a bug in the system somewhere.
However it is still happening with my official release of Win 7 :(
When you first try and load it http://www.5fm.co.za/listen-live-player Firefox indicates that it wants a plugin installed, namely MS Windows Media PLayer plugin for Firefox. So I downloaded and installed it.
The audio player now loads and gives me no errors or anything but it just sits there doing nothing :( No music, no nothing (yes the speakers are plugged in and switched on :P )
Thought it may be a Firefox problem but it is the same in IE8 as well.

Has anyone had a similar problem like this before?
Advice/Insults welcome :wink:

Well, Windows 7 doesn't like the Flash plugin for me, but I've no idea about audio streaming. That said, I think anything that prevented me from listening to 5FM would be a bonus rather than a bug.

Flash player works fine for me. Now if only this blasted audio streaming would work.
Are you running 64bit OS?

Ja. Flash player downloads, but just hangs on the install. I even tried the manual download. It downloaded a 400MB file which, when eventually downloaded, was "not a valid Win32 application." :facepalm:
