[MPlayer-users] More Realmedia problems

[Stephen Stocker]

  Hi,

  Apparently CBS News has changed the format of their streams (actually
  downloadable files).

  Here is an example URL:

http://www.cbsnews.com/media/2004/01/28/video596418.rm&sec=500251&vidId=500202&title=Girl$@$Who$@$Named$@$Mars$@$Rovers$@$&hitboxMLC=earlyshow

  Trying to either download it or -dumpstream gives a "File not found".
  Changing the URL to:
  
http://www.cbsnews.com/media/2004/01/28/video596418.rm will give you the
file, but it's unplayable. There is some sort of choppy audio, but
nothing intelligible, and no video. MPlayer sits there until I hit
Ctrl-C. 

  Thanks for any help you can offer.
