Hi,

Is anyone else getting a "Server execution error" for BBC Radio 4 Extra International links?

Noticed it earlier today (19th) and the links still aren't working now. Have tried it with a bunch of programmes and non of them seem to work.

The asx file seems to download fine (if a little slowly). Then the "Server execution error" message pops up about the time Windows Media Player should start playing the programme.

Here's what's showing in a sample asx file:

Hi,

Nevermind. Whatever the problem was it must have sorted itself as the links are working again for me. May have been a Windows Media Player problem.

Regards

Sorry for missing this, Beeboclark. Glad it's working again. It sounds similar to what was happening to me. Mine turned out to be settings in my player that changed (I think) in an update.

Anyhoo, glad it's up now.
