[MPlayer-users] Real player

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hi,

> Although I've found that mplayer can play pretty much any media file I couldn't get this one to play:
> http://real.ucar.edu/ramgen/asp/colloquium_2004/6_23_04.rm
> 
> Before anyone thinks porn, the content is a conference talk about using GPS for amospheric sensing.  I tried to simply play the above link, and it does not properly follow the links that are returned by the server.  The content returned for the above link is:
> rtsp://128.117.223.14:554/asp/colloquium_2004/6_23_04.rm?cloakport=80,554,7070
> --stop--
> pnm://128.117.223.14:7070/asp/colloquium_2004/6_23_04.rm?cloakport=80,554,7070

As you can see, this file isn't a movie file. Thus MPlayer of course 
can't play it. You can use mplayer -playlist 
http://real.ucar.edu/ramgen/asp/colloquium_2004/6_23_04.rm
as that's what it is, a playlist.
Complain to Real that they haven't yet learned the difference between 
those two and mix it without any reason.
