When I try to run this code, I get an error

```auto
/* EXAMPLE-CHANNELS */
var chans = new Array();//[title,ip:port;stream.nsv,description]
var chans[0] = ["Radio #1", "http://s2.viastreaming.net:7130;stream.nsv", "Latest hits.
http://www.radio1.com"];
var chans[1] = ["Classics", "http://193.112.14.122:8080;stream.nsv", "Classical music 24/7.
http://www.classicradio.com"];
var chans[2] = ["FunkRadio", "http://stream.funkradio.com:7130;stream.nsv", "Funk music!.
Visit http://www.funkradio.com"];
/* END OF CHANNEL-ARRAY */

```

Does anyone know why this is?
