It looks like this feature isn't quite ready for how you had intended to use it. If you give it a direct link to a remote mp3 file it should play it. You're giving it a link to a remote playlist. Right now the remote-url feature doesn't know how to handle anything but mp3's (and just assumes everything it's given is an mp3.)
This isn't the long term solution but you can download the http://192.168.1.98:51710/xm?channel=57&format=m3u url and open the resulting playlist file in a text editor to find the embedded mp3 file(s) link. Then you can paste that url into the web interface and everything should work.
BTW, the u'blah' format just means that the word 'blah' is being represented internally as unicode. This is a handy thing to know when we're debugging special character problems.
Thanks - I will try to parse out the mp3 when I get home..
I see use for this when using some of the various streaming servers out there. I will use this for the XM/Sirus streamer and for some TVersity feeds I have been playing with. There have also been some live streaming events I might be interested in as well as grabbing the NASA streams on launch days.
I am always available to test anything youre working on!!!!

edit: Not sure how to get the "playlist" as it appears to be constructed inside the server - no idea where it "saves" it
