[MPlayer-users] Stream MPEG4/TS/UDP from vlc to mplayer

[David Rault]

Hello,
I use mplayer for windows. I downloaded the binaries this week.
I stream mpeg4 video + mp3 audio from vlc (server, www.videolan.org) to 
mplayer (client). I use udp protocol and muxes the data
into mpeg-ts or asf.
If I stream TS packets, the mplayer client cannot display the video 
(audio is OK) and I get the following message (see end of mail).
If I use ASF muxing, I works fine for a while (video+audio), after it 
crashes. Please note I stream exactly the same file in both cases.
This is just the muxing which changes from TS to ASF.
For the moment, I'd like to use TS muxing (this is my main concern).
For the ASF muxing crashes, I'll try to compile under Linux from the 
sources (I'll see later).

Besides this, could I replace my vlc server by another solution ? Is 
mplayer capable of streaming through network like vlc ? Another
tool ?

Here is the message I get when using the TS muxing ...
