[MPlayer-users] playing authenticated realmedia streams

[rahul]

Hi,
    I was trying to play a realmedia stream using mplayer,
This is what I get,
version: MPlayer-1.0rc2 , OS: win2k

:\>mplayer -dumpfile out.rm -dumpstream "rtsp://<user>:<passwd>@serverpath"
MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team

CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
Compiled with runtime CPU detection.

Playing rtsp://xxxxxxxxx.
Connecting to server yyyyy[yyyy]: 554...
librtsp: server responds: 'RTSP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'

realrtsp: Stream EOF detected
Core dumped ;)

Exiting... (End of file)

Cannot dump this stream - no file descriptor available.

The only related mail I found was here
"http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20071102.121243.50d53f94.en.html"
where the user was adviced to user the rtsp://user:pass@url form but
as seen above, I have used that too.

I see in the change logs that the authenticated rm streams are supported

is there anything that I am doing wrong here?
