[MPlayer-users] mms playback don't work anymore

[Hans du Plooy]

I used to listen to a radio station that was broadcasting on AM only,
and I used the stream when reception is too bad.  They've been on FM for
a while now, but transmitter seems to be down tonight and I'm having
really bad reception.

This is the command:

mplayer -playlist mms://196.35.64.36/702_16?WMThinning=0

And this is the output:

....and then it just hangs there.

I'm using the latest MPlayer build from packman on SUSE 10.1.  I tried
in VLC and Windows Media Player under wine - both work but lose the
stream after a couple of seconds.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
