Hello list.

I've recently ran into a few streams that refuse to play with MPlayer
0.90rc5 on my system. The error is the same for all of them, here is an
example:

=========================================

=========================================
I've built MPlayer using the following configure arguments:

./configure --enable-gui --with-win32libdir=/usr/local/lib/video-win32/
--with-xanimlibdir=/usr/local/lib/video-xanim/
--with-reallibdir=/usr/local/lib/video-rp9/ --enable-live
--with-livelibdir=/usr/local/lib/video-live/

the configure output shows that:

=========================================
Checking for Win32 codec DLL files path ... /usr/local/lib/video-win32/
Checking for Win32 codec DLL support ... yes
Checking for Win32 loader support ... yes
Checking for DirectShow ... yes
Checking for XAnim DLL ... yes
Checking for RealPlayer DLL ... yes
Checking for LIVE.COM Streaming Media libraries ... yes (using
/usr/local/lib/video-live/)
=========================================

I am using all the standard pre-requisites needed to play Real media
(local files work just fine) as well as streaming media (QuickTime works
just fine). I've used live.2003.03.31.tar.gz for obtaining the LIVE.COM
libs. This is on a FreeBSD 5.0-p7 i386 system with the default GCC 3.2.1

Some other example problematic URLs:
rtsp://ra.polygram.de/mercrec/apocalyptica/video/nothing.rm
rtsp://ra.universal-music-group.com/mercrec/apocalyptica/video/apocalyp
tica_path_film.rm

Any ideas on what could be causing the problem ? Thanks !
