Vista - Media Player Error Message (C00D1069)

I recently subscribed to Urge and when I try to play a radio stations I
receive the following error message "Windows Media cannot play the playlist
becaue it's not valid." I read a post saying someone had been able to
resolve the problem by downloading a plugin for *.pls (playlist) but I can't
locate one. Can anyone help?

Where do I find the URL? I don't see one in Windows Media Player.

Jetstream,
I'll bump your question because I have the same error. I has been working
fine up to this week. So what changed?

Any MS SME available to assist with this error? KB didn't help at all.

For the Urge issue? What does Urge support say?

Zachd,
This will sound silly, but I don't know where to go for URGE support. I
suppose I didn't look that hard. So, in my case, this is how I fixed it. I
had 2 radio stations bookmarked in my playlist in WMP11. URGE allows you save
stations. Well they go to the playlist in Media Player. I deleted the items
from the playlist and all is well.

I tried eliminating the .pls part and created a link on our website but it
still did the same think and when I tried to select my WinAmp... it still
took me to WM and said could not openérecognize .pls file. Now the link is
for a radio station that we are running... It works for listners that are
using Pre-Vista, but Vista does not do what we want it to. I can click on
WinAmp Icon on my desktop and the radio stream plays... no problem. Can we
bypass the Windows Player and set winamp as our radio player? When a window
came up from clicking the link on our website... it gave us a choice of what
program we wanted to use to open files with .pls but yet when we browsed and
chose WinAmp... it didn't register our selection and tried to use WM.... Now
if we could only get this to work for our listners that have Vista running
and my microphone to work...

There's a "Contact Us" link at the bottom of at least this page:
http://www.urge.com/switch/index.jhtml?section=answers
-- you would want their Customer Support option, I'd think.

What's the URL again... ?
WMP doesn't understand the (extended) PLS format. It can on a limited basis
play Shoutcast streams.

I'm having a strange problem with Urge also. I have to reinstall Urge everytime I restart WMP. I open WMP, and notice that it has not automatically logged into Urge. So I click the Sign-In button and it launches the Urge installation, and I reinstall it. I tried closing the installation window before it started. However, I couldn't access any Urge menus or songs without reinstalling. It just started doing this a few days ago. I don't get it.

What's the value for "InstallResult" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup ?
