[Icecast] failure to relay

[Ken Gillett]

Brilliant thanks. I knew it was a playlist file, but assumed Icecast could sort that out and I couldn’t readily access the actual pls as Safari insisted on dealing with it and wouldn’t show the text of the file. But I found another way. I could have copied a URL from your post, but where’s the fun in that. Joking aside, I need to be able to access files like this in future now I know I need to do this in order to set up an Icecast relay when I only have a playlist URL.

All understood and working now. Thank you for the prompt response.
