[MPlayer-users] Cannot use mplayer rc1 to play rtsp streams ??

[mpl.eng at antichef.net]

Hi,

I have been using mplayer 1.0pre8, and recently decided to upgrade.
I am using windows and cygwin, and the upgrade consisted of unzipping the
windows binary to a new directory.

In the new version, I cannot play rtsp files, I get "File not found"
can anyone assist ?

Thanks in advance,

Here is what I am getting when running with the current version:
