[MPlayer-users] asf (wma) problem

[Roger]

Hello,

First time post. I am from USA and am trying to play National Public Radio Fresh Air archives streaming wma and failing. I am on Mandrake 10.1 official.

I have built Mplayer from cvs (MPlayer-1.0pre6a) from source and  get the 
same results as the Mandrake delivered player.

For example

mplayer -playlist mms://wm.npr.na-central.speedera.net/wm.npr.na-central/fa/20041011_fa_01.wma

or

mplayer http://wm.npr.na-central.speedera.net/wm.npr.na-central/fa/20041011_fa_01.wma

both fail. A bit of the output follows (I uncommented some printf calls in asf_streaming.c)

I receive 2 chunk types 0x4824, several type 0x4424 chunks, then
I receive chunk type 0x4524 (ASF_STREAMING_END_TRANS) but don't know if this
is correct or not for this stream. (I do not receive it on another stream that works fine)
This chunk type MAY  be mis-handled in asf_streaming.c since the line

chunk_size -= sizeof(ASF_stream_chunck_t); 

results in a chunk_size of -8 (4 - 12).

I am new to the code so maybe that is ok.

Thanks,
Roger
