xmms / mpg123 cannot handle Shoutcast URLs? (http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=2819&file=filename.pls)

Hi, I have read some of the documentation pages you have put on the web. I have tried mpg123 http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=2819&file=filename.pls and adding the following to my Mozilla helpers: mime = audio/x-scpls extension = pls Action = /usr/bin/xmms Nonetheless, I am prompted, every time I click on a Shoutcast website link, to save the <filename>.pls as a file. I am running Linux on a x86 machine and have XMMS 1.2.7 installed and the SHoutcast support enabled in its preferences. My suspicion is that the HTTP redirection is somehow confusing things. I wonder if Shoutcast isn't specifying a mime type in the URL the redirect to. I checked the Shoutcast page source and see no mime type specified there (I would expect to see audio/x-scpls). On the other hand, could this be a bug in Mozilla? Thanks for any help you can send, Miles
