[MPlayer-users] about network streaming of mplayer

[hong liu]

I have two questions about the use of mplayer.

1. about playing back streamed content
>From the manual of mplayer posted in the web site, MPlayer can play files from the network, using the HTTP, FTP, MMS or RTSP/RTP protocol. Now I have  an H264 file called test.mp4 in a Darwin video streaming server. I used the command of "mplayer rtsp://192.168.0.1/test.mp4", and then error messages came out. I attached the output of mplayer in the below:

2. about Saving streamed content
I run the commands of "mplayer rtsp://192.168.0.1/test.mp4 -dumpstream -dumpfile test_recv.mp4" or "mplayer rtsp://192.168.0.1/test.mp4 -dumpstream -dumpfile test_recv.264". There was fatal error taking place. Here listed the relevant output of mplayer:
