Dave is secretary of ERIS and spends each Monday doing computer systems maintenance for this trust. He is also a member of the Travis Wetland Trust and has a restoration project incorporating a scientific study of kahikatea regeneration there.

I tried again with Firefox and it still gives an error message, but if I simply press the button on WMP then away it goes. So it seems the Firefox rollover from one protocol to another is not quite right.

Time 8.30am 26/11/2007
WMP version 11.0.5721.5230
Firefox 2.0.0.9

Maybe people could try two different websites using Windows Media Player (WMP) to see if one works but not the other.

I asked at the Christchurch Public Library. The librarian at the counter thought using WMP for internet radio was for pay PC's only but playing a CD on a free PC would work.

For the record it does work on my PC, as follows:

Time 8.18am 24/11/2007
WMP version 11.0.5721.5230
IE 6.0.2900.2180 SP2

next time I reboot I'll try with Firefox again and see if I still have to click on the link twice to get it to work.

It dosn't work on this Christchurch Public Library computer.

Time 3.33pm 23/11/2007
WMS error code C00D1197 Cannot play file
WMP version 10:0000:4036
IE 6.0.2900.2180 SP2

Its not obvious what version of windows this PC has. Its also possible the the library is blocking WMS for this website.

Works Ok on this computer which is:

Windows XP Prof 2002 SP2
IE version 6.0.2900 SP2
Windows Media Player version 9.00.00.3354

TelstraClear Cable broadand connection

Sounds good.

(I'll do a test from the Christchurch Public Library later this week)
