Any thoughts yet as to how to get multicast streaming working with WMP9
under Tiger?  We can open local files and standard HTTP unicast streams.
Multicast streams just time out on connection.

It's just plain broken in WMP9. It's been reported to MS and they didn't
do anything about it.
I would strongly suggest going back to their site to complain (who
knows, they might start worrying about it after the first few thousand
messages :-( ).

From the FAQ:

* I'm not a happy camper and I would like to express my opinion about
the app/send suggestions…: use either of these pages:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/feedback/suggestion.asp
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/wish.aspx

Thanks for the link to the feed back pages.  I'll probably start sending
them on a near-daily basis.

Wonderful!! The more the best. Maybe they'll end up listing :-(
