[Mplayer-users] Streaming MPEG and ASF

[Jasper Veltman]

Hi all,

Have RTFM and I know streaming is beta, but maybe someone has found a way to 
get these 2 problems solved.

1) When connecting to a (Nanocaster 2)streaming server serving out ASF, 
Shoutcast and Realaudio it seems to determine the content-type correct, but 
doesn't know which decoder to use. I've tried with and without ffMpeg (latest 
CVS) compiled in. Any ideas about changing codecs.conf to fit the MIME-type? 
The IP-address is valid, so try for yourself...

2) When connecting to another streaming server with ASF the stream ends 
immediately, although it's recognized as a live stream. IP-address changed to 
protect the innocent, and yes it does work on Windows :(

Hope anyone can help, would be extremly nice to beat my collegues who say Linux 
can't replace Windows as an audio/video-client....

Cheers,
