			Below is an example of an ASX file as it appears in a text editor:

			<pre>
			<ASX VERSION = "3.0">
			<entry>
			<DURATION VALUE="01:00:00" />
			<ref href = "mms://stream.kcdx.com/KCDX" />
			<ref href = "rtsp://stream.kcdx.com/KCDX" />
			<ref href = "http://stream.kcdx.com/KCDX" />
			</entry>
			</asx>
			</pre>

			As you can see, it is fairly simple to find the URL of the stream. It is stored in the '''<code><ref /></code>''' elements. Usually several sources are available, in this case (in the order as they appear) MMS over TCP, RTSP and MMS over HTTP. To play the stream in the Streaming Client extract the URLs and enter them on the WEB UI or store them into an M3U playlist.

			Do not forget to convert the prefix to the right format compatible with the Streaming Client.

			The converted URLs from the above example will be:
			<pre>
			mmst://stream.kcdx.com/KCDX
			mms://stream.kcdx.com/KCDX
			</pre>

			WMA files and Windows Media streams are often stored in ASX playlists. The ASX file format is XML based.

			If you get a link to an online Windows Media radio station from the internet, most likely it will be in ASX.
			Streaming Client does not support ASX and therefore to play such radio stations some extra simple "handwork" must be done.
