[MPlayer-users] Unable to play shoutcast radio

[andrew]

Hi,

I am unable to play shoutcast radio streams with the svn mplayer. A
typical example:

andrew at ilium~$ mplayer -playlist
http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=2541&file=filename.pls[1]
21662
andrew at ilium~$ MPlayer dev-SVN-r26196-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team

and then mplayer just sits there. I am obviously missing something but
neither mplayer man pages / docs or Google were helpful.
