skip using PNM if you have other format streams
always try changing to rtsp

not correct usage as it is a playlist (.smil extension is a clue)

short answer is to play ../7-11-05-am-1.rm instead
or mplayer rtsp://164.67.141.39:7070/ipam/7-11-05-am-1.rm

longer answer is format of playlist returned is not same in this rtsp stream 
as others.

smil playlist parser does not recognize the format correctly now
needs modifications to handle this case.
