[MPlayer-users] Unable to play streaming video?

Tue Oct 26 17:42:46 CEST 2004

Rocco,

I also took a look at the stream on the site. And I don't think mplayer will 
be able to play them since it does not recognize the stream properly..

SNIP from the log: 
VIDEO:  [MP43]  308x210  24bpp  1000.000 fps    0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)

Which to me shows there is a problem.

Here is the debug log
