Hi all. Not sure if this is the right place for this but it's the closest related subforum I can find.

I'm trying to listen to a radio station from my country and just can't seem to get it to work. The url was originally a .asp file located here (http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/kayafm/asxGenPop.asp). I followed the "How to play internet streams" wiki and created a .strm file from a txt file with a mms link inside. When I play the file, XBMC stays on "buffering" and nothing happens. I've tried all the links below but no luck.

this is what the original asp file contains

BTW, I am a Windows user and the links work fine in WMP11.

I'd appreciate any help with this and apologies again if this is the wrong place for this
