pnm port and stream problem.
by compn 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

pnm can be accessed on port 80 as well as 7070. pnm://www.darrelbowen.com/videos/commercials256.rm vs pnm://www.darrelbowen.com:80/videos/commercials256.rm it still doesent work with mplayer, but it does connect :) i've also heard of an evil way if pnm:// fails on port 7070 you can sometimes use rtsp:// on port 7070 to get it working. so in theory pnm:// 7070 default, if timeout, pnm 80, if timeout, rtsp 7070. comments?

known bug? mplayer ignores input waiting for data?
by compn 12 Dec '04

12 Dec '04

Koth said this was a known bug where mplayer will not accept keyboard input when its waiting for data, as it parses keys on every frame played. he says its not fixable without messing with a/v sync and lots of code. is this a known bug? has this been talked about before? is there a timeout for mplayer waiting for data? e.g. after a minute mplayer will stop waiting and exit? can this be included? e.g. -timeout 30
