I just Googled mrl plugin, and havn't got far down the list yet, but someone is having a similar problem with Shoutcast streams, admittadly on Ubuntu. Here it appears to be a bug in libxine, bit doesn't explain why one of your machines has no problems, and the other 2 do. Anyway this is the link. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xine-lib/+bug/50734 Hope I've copied that correctly. It's on the other machine, and the text is small. Nigel.
