Description
When I try to play "http://radio.sampo.ru/unost.mp3" MediaPlayer doesn't play it.

Here is its state:
status: HALTED, currentTime: 0.0 ms, totalDuration: null, error: MediaException: PLAYBACK_HALTED : Only limited content is supported by progressbuffer.
Comments
Please add this. It seems odd that I can save the stream to file then play it but not play the live stream itself. The "Requires Windows 7" part makes HLS unavailable for us, and writing to file and playing would make it choppy as it switches files. Media is a final class so I couldn't even customize that. I don't see the javafx.scene.media in the available source code for JavaFX 2.2 to change it myself.

If you have control over the content then for now I suggest to use HLS audio only streams. Basically this is an AAC encoded audio track wrapped in MpegTS container and segmented by some tools like Apple tools to produce live streaming on HTTP servers.

How can I get it? Do you have an example?

Just supply HLS URL to Media object, as you would do for rest of streams and it should work. Nothing special is needed.

What's the API for it? How to use it?
18-04-2013
Yes, requires Windows 7, OS X or Linux.

Is it part of JavaFX?
18-04-2013
HLS is HTTP Live Streaming.

What is HLS?

If it's a live stream then we don't support it. If should be converted to a feature request. For Live sources use HLS.
