[MPlayer-users] ASF stream received from ffserver: not ASF guid!

[Michał Lesiak]

Hello,

 

MPlayer sometimes refuses playing an asf stream generated by ffserver. When
it does, the output is as follows:

 

mplayer -slave -input file=/tmp/mp1 -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 -vo fbdev2 -fs
-zoom  -x 768 -y 576 http://localhost:8090/test1.asf -v -idle

there?)

ASF_check: not ASF guid!

 

The stream otherwise is fine, as I can receive it with vlc under linux and
windows every time. The problem seems to have something to do with contents
of the stream, as it happens periodically: when it 'jumpstarts', I can quit
and restart many times and it works every time, when it fails the pattern is
the same - fail on each restart.

 

Of course, I've tried disabling guid error detection in asfheader.c :) And,
of course, it did me no good.

 

As I said, I have absolutely no problems with vlc (as far as receiving the
stream goes, I cannot get it to work on framebuffer, thus MPlayer).

 

SSoo... does anybody have any idea how to fix this?

 

 

Thanks!
