Hi all,

I experience a weird problem here : many mp4 files can't be correctly
played when streamed over http.
I use mplayer svn, and it's definitely not a ffmpeg problem, as the
files almost play with ffplay.
Here is an output :

$ ./mplayer http://m.podshow.com/media/3507/episodes/97393/bestofyoutube-97393-02-02-2008.mp4
<snip>
AO: [oss] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
Starting playback...
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x864bd40]stream 1, offset 0xe5f: partial file
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x864bd40]stream 1, offset 0xe79: partial file

But if I download the file locally, it plays flawlessly.

Here are some url of streams not played :

If you need further details, feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance.
