[MPlayer-users] Cannot play MediaPlayer9 stream in MPlayer

[Jake Benilov]

Hi,

MPlayer is amazing, and i'm 99% happy with it in every case. However...

I have an internet radio station to which I wish to listen to:
http://ms2.capitalinteractive.co.uk/xfm_low

when I open that link in Media Player 9 (Windows), or open a webpage
with the link embedded in it (see HTML below), everything connects
fine.
However trying to access that link with MPlayer only yields a 403
Forbidden error.
Why is this? What is mplayer not doing to connect, that MP9 can do?

Cheers
Jake Benilov
