I just opened firefox and did tools/pageinfo/media down to the link Peter sent me. I copied the link into the browser and "Voila" it played. My friend was at a windows computer playing the same stream as I but his was playing 20/30 seconds ahead of my stream for some reason???????? Any helpful comments appreciated.

I have changed to my desktop ubuntu 8.10 in the hope a more modern installation would help. Having run through the list of available streaming radio stations and successfully playing a large random selection. the exception being thecoast.net.nz when opened in firefox claims to need adobe flash-plugin. Flash-plugin is installed so there must be some other thing that I do not have that prevents this station playing. Regards John

Just to make it interesting I now have the stream working in pretty well in firefox. A sad problem is that it is absolutely silent for some strange reason, not good for a radio stream. Vlc seems not to be working at all (no data transfer) even though the url seems to be in the correct place.....

Your original link (http://www.thecoast.net.nz/Listenlive/) was working for me in Firefox from the start. There was no need for any external application.
