[MPlayer-users] playing streaming H264 video

[hong liu]

I sent a question last week regarding to the problem I experienced in using mplayer to receive H264 streaming video. So far I haven't gotten any help. May I explain it not cleary. Now I restate the problem in more clear way. I am looking forward to any help to fix it.


I have an H264 file and encapuslated into test.mp4 by MP4Box. It was placed in a 4Sight streaming Server 
(Similar to Darwin Streaming Server). I run the command of "mplayer rtsp://192.168.0.1/test.mp4", 
and then error messages came out. I attached the output of mplayer as follows. However I tried vlc and quicktime
player, and it worked for both.

The mplayer detected the format of its received video: H.264. Then it called 
ffmpeg to decode it. But why there is such error in decoding frame? Any help
is highly appreciated.
