From streaming.html in the english docs:
"Playing goes by simply using adding the URL to the command line. MPlayer also
honors the http_proxy environment variable, and uses proxy if available.
Proxy usage can also be forced:"
How can I force MPlayer NOT to use proxy? Aside from unsetting http_proxy
variable?
Also, even after unsetting http_proxy, trying to play
http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/highveld/highveld_22.asx, I'm still getting
the following error:
Unable to open URL: http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/highveld/highveld_22.asx
Option stream url: This URL doesn't have a hostname part.
File not found: 'clients/highveld/highveld_22.asx'
Failed to open http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/highveld/highveld_22.asx
I tested the URL with Windows media player 6.4 (in crossover plugin) and it
works fine.
Thank you
Hans
