[MPlayer-users] mms username and password, possible?

Fri Dec 22 13:17:39 CET 2006

Hi guys,

I wish to view a WMV (video) file from an MMS server
using mplayer.
The server requires username and password
authorization.
I've tested it using Windows Media Player and it
works.
A simple username/password box comes up at start, and
once I enter my username and password, the player
starts playing the video.
But I have been unsuccessful with mplayer.

I've tried: mplayer -v
mms://www.myserver.com:777@www.myserver.com/wmv/file.wmv

I don't know what else to try.... and to the best of
my knowledge mplayer is the best player for this type
of files....
any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane
