[MPlayer-users] Unable to play stream URL using MPlayer, but URL works with Xine / VLC

[Golden Fly]

Hello:

I'm having trouble running the following line:

--- code ---
mplayer -dumpstream
"mms://211.233.24.49/wcg/wcg2007gf/ENG/10-07/WC3/[CH1]03_WC_ENG_Realtime_500K_SkY_vs_4K-Creoloph_01.wmv"
---------------

Here's my output:
--- code ---

However, the following command works:
--- code ---
xine
"mms://211.233.24.49/wcg/wcg2007gf/ENG/10-07/WC3/[CH1]03_WC_ENG_Realtime_500K_SkY_vs_4K-Creoloph_01.wmv"

I think the problem might be related to the '[' and ']' characters, but I
couldn't find a solution (I already tried "\[" and "\]", but that didn't
work).

Please reply to goldenfly88(at)gmail(dot)com if you can help me resolve this
problem.

Thank you very much.
