Music URLs not seeming to play

[SimplifyKidd]

When trying to play some podcast streams on my group owned parcel, I don't get any sound. These podcasting streams used to work here but now they seem to not work anymore.

Thiis is an example of a URL that works fine in a browser but doesn't play on my land: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sparkwoodand21/2017/09/14/the-return-part-17-18-listener-feedback.mp3

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Other streams, like this one, work just fine: http://radio.BigBlueSwing.com:8000/bigblueswing-64.mp3

The first URL leads to a redirection service, which makes it easier on the server, but SL parcel media doesn't understand how to follow redirection. (don't everyone stand in the same line, go stand in N different lines to make things N times faster)

If you visit it in a browser it sends you to http://d1at8ppinvdju8.cloudfront.net/1/057/show_10576195_2018_02_06_18_31_36.mp3

That url seemed to be static for me, but there's no guarantee that blog talk radio won't change their backend at some later date. I've not tried but I assume ~that URL would work for parcel audio.

You may be on to something, Quistess! That redirected URL is workling :-)

Unfortunately, that will not help me as my script gets the first url from the podcast RSS feed, and I can't see a way to follow the redirection in the script before submitting the url to the parcel... :-(

Any ideas?

do a llHTTPRequest on the URL (the one that isn't working) and see if you can parse where it's sending you.

That's an interesting idea. I will try it.

Thanks!

No, it seems to not be a possibility. When sending the problematic url through llHTTPRequest I get "Unsupported or unknown Content-Type." back in the body parameter... :-(
