The KMPlayer needs to improve it's URL-handling. If the KMPlayer tries to open a URL that can't be accessed it gives an error that the file does not exist. (This error can be suppressed by checking to play the next entry in playlist if one fails) The real problem is that the KMPlayer needs to be closed before a working stream can be played.
This is easy to reproduce.
- Play a stream
- select a stream that is not available (KMPlayer will not play it)
- open the first stream doesn't work (until KMPlayer is reloaded)
I guess this is known. I report this because I have seen this a little bit too often in the last days. A user in the German also asked about this problem.
The problem is NOT the error or that the KMPlayer can't play the stream. The problem is that NO stream can be played until the player is started again. Other players do not show this behavior they ignore not available streams (and of course do not play them), but they can play working streams without restart.
I want to put this under discussion.
