[MPlayer-users] Problem with asf streaming with redirect and content-type video/x-ms-asf

[Marco Munderloh]

Hi there,

I have problems with asf streaming in svn revision 15146 from
http://wstreaming.zdf.de. The server delivers a ASF redirect content,
but http-content-type is set to Video/x-ms-asf. In
stream/asf_streaming.c in function asf_http_streaming_type it is
assumed, that all content with type above is ASF_Prerecorded_e with is
wrong. If I outcomment the line 477, the type is set correctly later to
ASF_Redirector_e and the stream plays perfectly.

Why is this assumption made? Shouldn't the asf-typy-detector be some
what independent from http-content-type?

Regards, Marco
