This looks like Windows Media Foundation is not able to play streamed data, or your network connection is blocked by firewall. Is one of these a thing?

You can try to change playback backend to Direct Show in your config file:

# for Direct Show
player = ds

# for Windows Media Foundation
player = mf

I have the same issue (just recently).

Is there a way to turn on debugging for the windows port to determine why it is immediately going to the next song?

@mikecapito
There is a build hadness for pianobar port https://github.com/thedmd/pianobar-windows-build here. You can use it to make debug build. This is how I diagnose things myself. AFAIK there is not verobose output available out of the box.

When I find some time I will try to look if I need to pull/backport a fix from main repository.
