[MPlayer-users] RealMedia stream doesn't work with .smi file or authentication?

[Mark Edgington]

I have been experiencing difficulties in getting mplayer to read a stream
of a .smi file (I believe this stands for the SMIL format).  I have no
problems with other realmedia streams, but these have given mplayer a hard
time...  One complication is that I am trying to access an authenticated
stream (using the username and password which work fine with the RealOne
player).  I assume this should not be a problem (trying to view an stream
using authentication).  At the end of this message, I have provided a log
of what happens when I execute the command using an RSTP:// URL (I have
censored the username/password/IP address info from the log).  Note that
the URL I've used for this actually comes from the wget'ed file
"http://123.1.1.1/ramgen/secure/f03/ece588251/09_09_03/gob.smi", which
contains the following:

rtsp://123.1.1.1:554/secure/f03/ece588251/09_09_03/gob.smi?cloakport=80,554,7070
--stop--
pnm://123.1.1.1:7070/secure/f03/ece588251/09_09_03/gob.smi?cloakport=80,554,7070

[end of file]

>From the output below, it appears that mplayer can't properly parse this
file.  And if you supply the RSTP URL manually, mplayer doesn't seem to
know how to authenticate properly (even though I've provided it with the
correct -user and -password values).

If anybody has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them...


When I use the http://... URL with mplayer, I get:
