Better details you sent this time. I understand what you are
doing now. If you use JAWS you can do a ctrl and numpad + to
hear the complete URL path. That is in the URL Finder listbox
arrwo to the URL address, press ctrl numpad +, and then insert
up arrow to hear the path. You only have 5 seconds to do all
this as the listbox refreshes on you. You do know the listbox
does refresh every 5 seconds right?

Try this:     
In the URL Finder listbox arrow to the URL address and quickly
tab to the "copy URL' button and press it. You have copied the
URL to the clipboard. Now stop the URL Finder tool altogether.
You will be back on the Replay AV 8 program.

Press Application keyboard key. Choose "n" for Enter New Show.
The Edit Show Properties dialog box appears.

You will be in the Basic tab sheet. Add the Show or station
name. tab one more time and you will be in the URL field. Use
ctrl v to pate the copied URL that you copied from the URL
Finder tool by using its copy aURL button. Remember?

Choose OK.

You will see this show or station in the Replay AV 8 listbox
now. Arrow to it. Press application key. Choose "t" for tune to
station/show. You should hear a stream now.

I don't know what is happening when you say the URL is shortened
within the URL Finder tool's listbox.

Let us know if my alternate way works for you.

Can you share the webpage where the stream is? Mike P. wants to
help you with this too.

You did the right thing using the "preview" button with the URL
Finder. I do not know why if doesn't work when you choose the
"add show" button.

The only thing I can think of is that you may not know that the
URL Finder listbox refreshes and maybe you do know this and when
you go back to this listbox you are placed back on the very
first URL address and say you were on the 4th one in the list
when you did the preview button. Understand. The wrong URL could
have been added as the new show since this box refreshes like
every 5 seconds. Again I cannot remember if you know this or
not. I am helping others behind the scenes here privately and
testing beta software for others.

Please let us know if the "copy URL" button does the trick for
you.
