[MPlayer-dev-eng] Problem with Mencoder under windows XP

[Pavel Zrzavy]

When i use mencoder or mplayer to record or play streamed video from udp
adress, then i
cannot at the same time record or watch other streamed videos from udp.

Code that i am using for recording streams is:

start mencoder -cache 40000 udp://239.194.10.13:1234 -vf scale=640:480 -o
nova.avi -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -endpos 20

or

start mencoder -reuse-socket-cache 40000 udp://239.194.10.14:1234 -vf
scale=640:480 -o prima.avi -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4
-endpos 180

Code that i am using for playing streams is:

mplayer -cache 40000 udp://239.194.10.13:1234

or

mplayer -cache 40000 udp://239.194.10.14:1234


This error will always shown(udp address may change, and is not important):

Failed to connect to server
udp_streaming_server failed
File not found: '239.194.10.11:1234' <%27239.194.10.11:1234%27>
Failed to open udp://'239.194.10.11:1234.

Interesting thing is, that during using mencoder or mplayer,VLC does work
even in a few instances!

So is there any way how to use more than one instance of mencoder or mplayer
under Windows XP at same time to play streams from udp ? VLC can, so
mencoder or mplayer should as well.

Thx for help anyway!!
