Real Player won't play internet radio streams — Nokia Eseries S60 3.0 phones (E50, E60, E62, E61, E61i, E70)

I'd already posted a query about this together with another (and in fact unrelated) problem related to start up but thought that a specific request for suggestions on Real Player might elicit some response.

The problem is that when I try to play internet radio streams, Real Player connects, starts to load and then freezes. These are BBC stations that I have been connecting to for months using the same wireless router, albeit with different ISPs as I move around a lot. I have no problem with another internet radio station that I connect to using the S60 Internet Radio programme I installed, but Real Player just won't work anymore. However it will still play video clips that I have on my phone.

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and how to fix it? How would I go about reinstalling Real Player? Does that mean a trip to my Nokia Service Centre to have the firmware reinstalled?

I'm bouncing this to the top as this problem has arisen again and I can't remember how I resolved it the last time! My E65 stopped playing BBC radio this morning and, knowing that I had had the problem before, I hunted down this thread only to find that no solution had been posted, yet I had somehow resolved the problem since Real Player has been playing readio streams just fine for months now. But I can't remember how!

Any suggestions, anyone?

I had the same problem. I turns out that my ISP was blocking streaming content.

So much for unlimited surfing
