Hi Kevin,

I've noticed that playing online radio stations linked from  
http://yahoo.co.nz/music has recently stopped working when using the  
latest mplayerplug-in on firefox 1.5 with mplayer 1.0.

In my investigation of this, I've found that mplayerplug-in gives up when  
told that it can't access the following URL:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/samples/Internet/imedia/netshow/smedia/NS3/JavaScript/Buttons/control.asx

This URL, when used in isolation, returns a 404.

This URL is not actually the content that contains the media, I can only  
guess that it's somehow embedded in the content or the original page  
itself. Presumably to provide some player controls.

I had a quick look to see what happens using media player on windows, and  
couldn't see this URL being accessed at all. Maybe media player comes with  
these controls built-in, so knows not to fetch them?

Are you able to have a quick look into this problem and suggest some  
possible solutions?

Cheers,
Alex.
