Hi there

I am trying to stream a radio station from their server. It works fine  
on my ubuntu box.  
when I run it on IE in Windows, media player does not run the link.  
while other players (if installed) like real player and run time run  
the streaming fine

the following link displays a demo of one radio station (it has  
several players)  
[http://www.shobiddak.com/radio.html](http://www.shobiddak.com/radio.html)

I tried this [http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php](http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php) to generate the  
html code

I tried existing code from other website and the problem still exists.

any help

thanks

Have you sent this to the wrong list? It does not appear to be a  
Rails question.

url.
