Cannot play cbc.ca music with Chromium

Using latest arch chromium pkg (28.0.1500.95-1) but cannot play music streams from cbc.ca (e.g. http://music.cbc.ca/#/stream/genre/clas … l-classics )

I have what I think are all the required codecs plus mplayer plugins. Any ideas how to get this site to work?

Re: Cannot play cbc.ca music with Chromium

http://music.cbc.ca/streams.aspx

mplayer -playlist http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/CBC_R2_HFX_H.pls

Some of them work as they are, some are 403 forbidden. I assume you need to log in.

mplayer -user <username> -passwd <password>

Or use what you want to.
The playlist for the above stream looks like

File1=http://3143.live.streamtheworld.com:80/CBC_R2_HFX_H_SC
File2=http://3143.live.streamtheworld.com:3690/CBC_R2_HFX_H_SC
File3=http://3143.live.streamtheworld.com:443/CBC_R2_HFX_H_SC
