[MPlayer-users] It drives me NUTS!

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,

I tried to play this URL - 
http://www.cnet.com/video/special/playlists/music.asx - and it still only 
partially playable - it contains 4 MMS streams...

All tried with mplayer CVS checkout 10 minutes ago...

mms://a408.v19615.c1961.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/408/1961/v0001/cnetads.download.akamai.com/1961/msftawe/awe_clowns_prestream_hi.asf

stream is playbale, but mplayer freezes at the end.

2nd stream:
mms://a999.v0674e.c674.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/999/674/3ccdde3f/cnetdemo.download.akamai.com/674/t0131mp3_1_hi.asf

Unplayable. mplayer's ouput:

3rd stream:
mms://a1085.v1961c.c1961.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1085/1961/v0001/cnetads.download.akamai.com/1961/msftawe/awe_starlet_midstream_hi.asf

Playable, freezes at the last frame or two..

4th stream:
same problem as the 2nd one..

The asx files contains some lines like this:
        <STARTTIME VALUE="00:00:00" />
        <DURATION VALUE="00:03:03" />

Does mplayer's MMS parser process it?

Thanks,
Hetz
