Support for password protected Ice/SHOUT-cast

Be great if could add support for SHOUTcast streams that are password protected, after SHOUTcast is added.

Example:

[playlist] NumberOfEntries=2 File1=http://username:password@xxx.xx.xxx.xx:8070 Title1=Trance Length1=-1 File2=http://username:passoword@xxx.xx.xxx.xx:80 Title2=Trance Length2=-1 Version=2

I just submitted the same thing under #898583, didn't know it was a dupe.

Support playing authenticated MP3 streams

I first filed this as a bug. After reading nuendo's followup I have reposted as a FR.

Summary: Client cannot connect to authenticated mp3 stream BACKGROUND Some shoutcast-style mp3 stream servers require a username & password. Such streams have URLs in this format:

http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/FILE.mp3

SUMMARY OF PROBLEM XBMC gives a DNS lookup error when attempting to connect to an URL like this. The stream cannot be played.

(FWIW XBMP gives an authentication error instead.)

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR Authenticated streams should play if the URL is formed correctly.

FURTHER INFORMATION I noticed this issue when I tried to play a stream from SlimServer software on my XBMC. This server software creates streams that are compatible with regular desktop MP3 clients.

http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html

Some stream clients (eg Winamp) will pop a dialog box if the authentication information is omitted from the URL. Extra points for prompting for authentication info if it is missing or invalid, but just supporting auth info in the URL would be adequate.
