Hi all,

I just tried to play a DVB stream sent over a LAN courtesy of dvbstream, and 
although the stream arrives on my PC (as shown by tcpdump) mplayer is now 
displaying this error:

$ mplayer rtp://224.0.1.2:5004

Last time I tried this on a previous mplayer version it worked fine.  Has the 
syntax for streaming over RTP changed?

Thanks,
Adam.
