Hello!

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a LibVLC player play through a
playlist found online. The player grabs the playlist and is able to parse 
it
(in this case a Windows Media .ASX file) but after it finishes parsing, it 
just
returns libvlc_MediaPlayerEndReached and does not actually play the streams 
in
the list. If I open the same URL in VLC proper, it plays without any 
problems.
Below is the debug output and the code and options I'm using. Thank you in
advanced for any help ya'll can give me!

Sincerely,

Chris Larsen
