[MPlayer-users] How to select a substream in Windows Media 9 streaming?

[Aleksey Sudakov]

I have mplayer 1.0pre6-3.3.5 or in other words I am up to date on
debian/unstable as far as mplayer is concerned and I am not seeing that
you guys are seeing at all :(

Regardless if I play as mms:// or http:// I always get 31 kbps stream
(ID 4) - 192x144 horrible picture. For me:

$ mplayer -vid 3 mms://vipmms.itele.fr/cpi_itele
hangs the player as well.

$ mplayer mms://vipmms.itele.fr/cpi_itele
$ mplayer http://vipmms.itele.fr/cpi_itele
$ mplayer -playlist mms://vipmms.itele.fr/cpi_itele
$ mplayer -playlist http://vipmms.itele.fr/cpi_itele

All of those end up with the same 31kbps stream and all combination of
-vid 3 and -bandwidth ... result in the same 31 kbps stream being
played. So I don't think it is mms:// being broken v.s. http:// (apart
from -vid 3 hanging on mms:). Rather I think my mplayer has difficulties
getting proper stream.

Could anybody with non-CVS version please prove me wrong or confirm that
it is a bug in a current release?

Thanks,
Aleksey
