Problem playing mms:// stream

Help and Support
1

I’m trying to play an Iceland radio stream, but not all links seems te work in OSMC. One out of three links work, but the other two doesn’t work.

mms://utvarp.visir.is/bylgjan [#WORKS]
mms://utvarp.visir.is/lett [#DOENS’T WORK]
mms://webradio.visir.is/gull-bylgjan [#DOENS’T WORK]

In the log file of the last link, I’ve noticed the line “Error, could not open file mmst://webradio.visir.is/gull-bylgjan”. The beginning of the URL has changed from mms:// to mmst://. Is this the problem? And how do I fix this?

The last two links are bad.

e.g. with vlc on Ubuntu:

vlc mms://utvarp.visir.is/lett

The first link doesn’t have the error and plays audio with vlc. Not much we can do if the server won’t accept the connection.
