from playtreeparser.c in play_tree_parser_get_play_tree function
this uses play_tree_parser_get_line on an opened url stream.
line of data returned is garbage not remote file contents.

it fails to find a known playlist with this data and then
just assumes plaintext format by default.

the plaintext link is junk and fails to be fetched.

at this point it fails.

these examples seem to fail with EOF in demuxer.c function ds_fill_buffer
for the audio and video streams.

The stream is a preview not available error message by the way.
 
(how I viewed the stream data)
wget http://video.videopipeline.net/000001/asf/28/346/014539.asf

inside playlist the source reference URL was
http://69.44.118.225:80/000001/asf/28/346/014539.asf

changed to mms protocol and removed port 80
mmsclient mms://69.44.118.225/000001/asf/28/346/014539.asf
