Using the media player to store a radio bookmark, the address is mmsh://mediasrv-the.musicradio.com/LBC1152?MSWMExt=.asf but I cannot save the URL - it comes back as invalid as soon as I press save.

I have tried changing mmsh to http to see what happens, and the bookmark then saves with no problem (but because it has the wrong address as a result, the media does not play).

This worked fine when I saved mmsh:// bookmarks before PR1.1, and the saved ones play with no problem - could the update be anything to do with this, or can anyone advise how to bookmark an mmsh stream please?

mhm... isn't =. an improper expression for urls?!

try mmsh://mediasrv-the.musicradio.com/LBC1152?MSWM.asf

isn't it mms://xxxxxxxx?

Yup, mms://... works.

If I type in

mmsh://mediasrv-the.musicradio.com/LBC1152?MSWMExt=.asf

on Linux, it plays correctly with no problem.

If I try to save the same link on the N900 media player it states invalid URL.

=. is a proper expression, the same expression works on Sydney's The Mix, Capital in London and so on.

It is definitely mmsh:// not mms://

Yeah. You have a typo there. The protocol is MMS, not MMSH. Your link works fine on my PR 1.1.

EDIT: mmsh seems not to be a typo, its just mms over http. If you use mms:// it will work ok. Not sure why you should even use mms over http. More overhead.

As it goes, I have tried mms:// and that works on the 900 (but it hangs my Totem Linux player for some reason).

Why could I save URL's as mmsh before and not now?

Edit - will there be less data transfer with mms than mmsh in that case? Is that what I have been doing wrong?

Edit 2 - for some reason my Totem player has now decided it likes mms, my head hurts

yep, but if mms is working... why not use it?!

You're welcome.

And keep in mind, that just because it's linux, it doesn't mean it's the same across the board.

Wise words, thank you for your help everyone it is very much appreciated.
