Internet Streaming Trouble

[jss1897]

After clicking on the "Click here to listen online" link from my 700wx at the following website:

SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket - Listen Online

I get an error message saying "This web page contains too many frames and cannot be displayed. Internet Explorer Mobile can only display pages with 10 or fewer frames."

Any suggestions? Thanks.

This is a standard protection mechanism put in place by Radio Stations who like visitors to view the whole page (including ads) when streaming their radio.

If you go the page you'll have to click around to find the actual frame the radio is playing in (usually the frame with the media player in). Then right click and view source.

Finally in that source you will see the actual link to the audio stream which you should make a note of and use in Core Player or Pocket Tunes.

If this is too complicated (for many users it is) I suggest you check either of the following sites where someone has done that for you:

StreamFinder.com
Radio-Locator

Hope this helps...

ps. the reason for a max of ten frames is that in HTML an iframe is actually an entire webpage viewed through another webpage. So for a small device like a Treo or BB viewing 10 pages (ten iframes) takes up a lot of memory because you must essentially run 10 browsers (not knowing what will be on the page). For a PC or Mac this is obviously not a problem.
