SHOUTcast Radio activity says "Error accessing audio file" even after displaying Playlist title

I cant seem to get the shoutcast activity to play my stream/playlist no matter what I try. The furthest it gets is that it shows the song's title. But then it says "Error accessing audio file". I have tried linking to the SHOUTcast DNAS page (http://95.211.115.197:8131), the .pls file (http://95.211.115.197:8131/listen.pls) and many other combos with no success. Anyone have this happen to them before? I would really like to get my stream up and running.

    Could it have anything to do with the stream type being AAC?

    The only thing I have noticed with ShoutCast stream is when I have changed the url to the playlist in the radio activity.  But when I create a new activity (even with a pls url I have already used) it works then.

    Yes it could. Not all devices can play AAC+ streams. AAC is technically supported on Android, but some manufacturers change things in their versions of the Android firmware that limit what forms of audio will successfully play.
