Awesome! It comes in crystal clear and super interesting (currently listening to the interview with Alan Cooper, the inventor of the language that made a career for me). Please keep it up!
Now, just to hope that the stream can make it through the firewall at work.

It should. I'm going through port 80

Hey Carl!

Comes in loud and clear all the way up here in Fairbanks, Alaska! That is, as long as I'm not downloading a fresh version of Office 2003 from MSDN.

I'm looking forward to it! Maybe that's what I'll play during down times during training weeks and before conference sessions....

Hope you're having great holidays!

Cool, Don!

My latest idea is to do a morning show for maybe 3 days in a row to get some feedback.

I'd basically do about 2 hours of live call-in, music, and conversation around .NET, and then repeat it throughout the day.

Looks like I probably can get it with a bit of finessing.
Great, Carl!
BTW, nice description on the stream. :)

Did it work through the firewall?

yep, it does work through firewalls.

Great job. Carl

Great!

Well, in the end, it worked through the firewall fine, but it kept triggering our proxy server to ask me for my password, so I couldn't really listen to it at work. Damn!

Nice one, Carl - its working through my Pocket PC fine, which is what I usually listen to the show on (all the way from here in Munich, Germany).

As for the regular links to the shows, it looks like you had the Media player streams turned off for each show (I guess due to the bandwidth issues?), and from MSDN its not possible to listen to the stream from the Pocket PC - at least not with Pocket IE. Are there any ways you know of to still listen to it via Pocket PC, short of downloading each episode and transferring it over to the device?

Keep up the good work, great show!

Hey Pete - we don't have the streams turned off. You may be behind a firewall, as the regular streams are not using port 80. If we set up a separate server for the streams, I suppose it would work. Let me look into it.

No, sorry, you're right! - the Windows Media links for the shows work OK.

I assumed the link was just for download but Pocket Windows Media buffers and plays it OK. I hadn't tried it since your servers came back online, with the new ASP.NET interface, etc. - I think there used to be a separate link for the streaming version (?) so I thought that wasn't possible anymore.

When I try to open your stream, I get the following error back in WMP:

0xC00D11B6: Cannot play the file

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. A network firewall may be preventing the Player from opening the file by using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) transport protocol. To play this file, try opening the file without specifying UDP.

Try it now.

Yup, working great now!
