<div>I've only had success with ASX streaming with VLC player in Windows. With my system, there is password authentication. I have Mythweb set up with basic authentication as written in the Wiki. I understand this is one problem getting Windows Media Player
to work with these streams. There may be other problems with Windows Media Player as well.<br>
<br>
They work beautifully with VLC player. Give it a shot: <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" target="_blank">
