Parental Controls are preventing streaming data, such as radio

I have the Parental Controls setup to the strictest level. And I have been
unable to allow streaming data from radio stations online. What is wrong
with my settings?

1.. In Control Panel\User Accounts, click the account that has Parental
Controls.

2.. Under Parental Controls, click On.

3.. Click Windows Vista Web Filter.

4.. Click Block some websites or content.

5.. Click Edit the Allow and Block list.

6.. In the Website address box, type the address for the website you want
to allow, and then click Allow.

Yes, Thank you. However, I have already done that. And I've allowed access
all subsites for that site when that yellow bar shows up on the top. There
are no more yellow bars stating that something is being blocked and yet it
is. The only website that I can get streaming data from is Foxnews

The address for the stream is probably different, having a different server,
then the address for the website. If you could give me an example site
whose stream you want to listen to, I might be able to figure out the
address that you need to but on your allow list, and show you how you might
figure out where the stream is from. For example, the Windows Media stream
for http://theclassicalstation.org/internet.shtml comes from
http://play.rbn.com/play.asx?url=wcp...f?mswmext=.asx
You would have to allow http://*.rbn.com to hear it. There are many radio
sites that use the same server, such as http://dir.xiph.org/index.php or
http://www.shoutcast.com/ , so adding those would cover a lot of territory.

One of the video links at www.cbnnews.com is:
mms://sm1.cbn.org/Archive/Club/700Club071307_h.wmv
http://sm1.cbn.org/Archive/Club/700Club071307_h.wmv also works.
So, to the Allow list, you would add: mms://sm1.cbn.org and
http://sm1.cbn.org
(I chose View Source, and saw the address in Notepad. You can also choose
View Player Only, which brings up Windows Media Player. There, right-click
the item in the Playlist pane, choose Properties, look at Location.

For Listen Live at www.kbrt740.com the stream is:
http://webclust1.liquidcompass.cc/so...d/asx/KBRT.asx
So you would add: http://webclust1.liquidcompass.cc
(Right-click on the embedded player, choose Properties, look at Address).

For Listen Live at www.kfax.com the stream is from:
http://webclust1.liquidcompass.cc/so...er.php?id=KFAX
Same as above. But you might add http://www.liquidcompass.net

www.kwve.com
http://www.kwve.com/assets/streams/kwve_audio96kb.asx
So you would add: http://www.kwve.com

www.kkla.com
http://www2.kkla.com/tuner/launch.asp?id=kkla
http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/swn/...nb20070716.wax
So you would add: http://www2.kkla.com and http://boss.streamos.com

www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/media.php
http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/medi...interview1.wma
So you would add: http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org

A couple of the sites you gave me should have worked, I noticed, because the
stream is from the same site as their website. Don't make your Allow
additions too narrow. End them at .com, .net .org, .cc, and so on. That
should then help include the site's various pages. If there are still
problems, post back.

Your reply makes sense to me as far as my experience with websites in
general. But it's driving me mad... I almost want to give up with these
parental controls. You have to add a hundred various sources for a single
website to work. Is there no way to get it to simply allow everything that
comes in through ebay.com, for example? Or mail.yahoo.com? Not yahoo.com...
but more specifically mail.yahoo.com? And include all of the outside sources
automatically? It takes hours and hours to find out all the little sources
and subsources (whatever) that make up each friggin site. And sometimes they
are updated/changed, so you gotta keep going back and adding more. Plus,
apparently, there's no wildcard allowance such as *.yimg.com ...so then I
have to add all hundred blahblah.yimg.com variances. Am I missing something
or is there something I could be doing to simplify this at all? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem, but I can't add any links other that "http"
links to the web filter. I want to add "mms" links to link to the Windows
Media Player to play streaming video. Parental Controls won't allow me to do
this.
