I've been working with this problem a little more, and I went to a web
site that had WMV clips I could actually download. I did that, and
played it off my hard disk. It played fine (detected as Windows Media
Video 8). I tried playing this same clip as an HTTP stream and the same
thing as before happened (audio but no video). So, my problem must be
with the network transport part of MPlayer. Given this, does anyone have
thoughts/tips/suggestions? I am using Mplayer 1.0-pre4. Thanks again.
