Absolute Radio?

Hi all,
I was introduced to Absolute Radio over the Xmas period and trying to put a few of their streams on my XBOX with XBMC. I was on 3259 (I think it was), but have downloaded 3.5 using Dan's excellent installer hoping that would allow playing as it did not via pls playlist on that version, but it still does not with 3.5. I then downloaded TuneIn addon and tried via that, with no success, so was curious if anyone has succeeded and if so, how? The links work fine with VLC on a PC.?
TIA
The log shows

Thanks Gasman for the comments.
Can you post a debug log please:

Might shed some more light into this line:

@Gasman
Please try again enabling DEBUG mode first (see the link I provided earlier).
I can't try your stream myself as it's not available outside UK (will redirect me to an mp3 saying just that).

Ok, not sure I read those lines correctly, but I think it's trying to use PAPlayer to play the stream.

What you could try is press White on the .pls file in File Manager or Music view and choose Play Using... > DVDPlayer, does it work with that?
Cause if it works, then we can create a mapping to always play with DVDPlayer, see this thread for more details:

Thank You Dan!
When I chose Play With it came up with DVDPlayer (default) but that did not work.
So I chose the next option Mplayer and that plays the stream. I see a dialogue box stating 'Opening File' and then the stream plays.
Then I realised I am still booting to 3295, so switched to 3.5 with same success.
However the stream stops after a 5 or 10 minutes, but at least it is working, as none of the other players will play the stream at all.
I'll head over to that other thread now and create and upload the playercorefactory.xml file, suitably amended of course.
Many thanks for getting to the bottom of this.
I might be back with the stream stopping problem, but will have a look at the log first to see if I can see anything that I might recognise.

Very good!
Might be possible to get fixed in the DVDPlayer itself so I would encourage you to create a Redmine account (if you don't have one already - see Development tab at the top) and raise a ticket with the original details and attaching the .pls file and the debug log. Buzz might take a look and decide on it.

Dan,
I've applied for the Redmine a/c but the activation email is taking a while.
The mplayer stops the stream after a short period, presumably due to memory leaks?

I don't know, it says 45 leaks of only 1.133 bytes so I don't know. It might be something else in MPlayer but that's not maintained anymore.
Maybe PM Buzz to ask him about the RedMine account if you still don't get a confirmation, or try to login and try to recover the password in case it has been activated but you didn't get the email.

Will do, as I have still not received it.
I've just tried looging in to the Redmine a/c and it stated not activated, so used the link to resend the activation link again.
The second one has turned up.
Now I've found the first one in Gmail spam on webmail. I use Outlook to access my mail. The second mail however has come to my inbox in Gmail no problem.
After my last post, the stream has been working for over an hour, so no clue as to why it stopped twice initially.
Again, thanks for the help.
