[MPlayer-users] Problem mms(h)-streaming to Win Media Player AND mplayer

[Simon Ferber]

Hello

I want to stream my webcam to my webpages.
I use
*Code:*
vlc -I dummy --noaudio v4l:/dev/video0:size=320x240 --sout
'#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=256,scale=1}:standard{access=mmsh,mux=avi,url=:8080/stream.avi}'



to start my stream.

But when I try to access it with mplayer:
*Code:*
mplayer mms://127.0.0.1:8080/stream.avi



mplayer waits forever "connected" and does nothing:
*Code:*
MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz (Family: 15, Model: 1, Stepping: 2)

CPUflags:  MMX: 0 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0

Spiele mms://127.0.0.1:8080/stream.asf.
STREAM_ASF, URL: mms://127.0.0.1:8080/stream.asf
Verbinde mit Server 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8080 ...
Verbunden.



That's it. Nothing else happenes. Sad

vlc starts fine with
*Code:*
vlc mmsh://127.0.0.1:8080/stream.avi



When I change vlc to use http instead of mmsh, mplayer is able to play
the stream. But the Windows Media Player isn't.
I tried many combinations of codecs, containers and access, but could
never get to stream to both, linux and windows. Sad

Why doesn't mplayer play my stream?

Regards
Simon
