Summary0007945: Shoutcast AAC+ tracks lock up MediaMonkey
Description1 Click the shoutcast node
--> various 'stations' appear in the downloader
2 Click an AAC+ station (e.g. radio paradise)
--> MM appears to start playing the track but fails
3 Try playing any other track in the MM library, or exiting MM
--> MM fails to play any other tracks and cannot be closed!!
The only way to exit is via the Task Manager.

What should happen is that:
1) MM should indicate that the codec is missing and offer the user to download the codec (ffdshow??--I would have expected this to work, but it doesn't).
2) If the user opts not to install the codec, then MM should just fail to play the track and grey it out, without locking MM.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build1388

Fixed in build 1388. There was a problem with HTTP redirections on shoutcast server side - they are circular referenced for some radio paradise streams. Added detection of these circular references to avoid deadlock, and I set limit of max 5 redirections, it should be enough, more redirections are suspicious.
Note - FFDShow contains DirectShow codecs for videoplayback, audio playback does not use DirectShow, so any DS codec would not help.
