Thanks everyone for the responses. compiling SVN 31139 fails for several
reasons. Virtualising a network card failed, too.
I didn't test the netcat version because I don't think it will work because
--udp-port regulates just the sending mplayer but not the receiving
player - if I'm not wrong. I think the "proper" way would be to patch
mplayer. Unfortunately my time is so limited that I'm just
going to use 5 machines for 5 videos for my diploma. After that is done I
give it another try.
Thanks for everyone helping out, I'll keep you updated.
