Hello. I want to access a password protected stream on an RTSP server. When I use: mplayer rtsp://my_user_name:my_pass_word:sitename/path/to/file.rm I get: librtsp: server responds: 'RTSP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' realrtsp: authenticator not supported (RN5 realm="sitename.ContentRealm", nonce="some_number") rtsp_session: session can not be established. ...which probably means that this kind of authentication is not yet supported under mplayer. Fine by me! Now, when I use: mplayer -user my_user_name -passwd my_pass_word rtsp://sitename/path/to/file.rm I get: librtsp: server responds: 'RTSP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' realrtsp: auth required but no username supplied rtsp_session: session can not be established. ...which (according to stream/realrtsp/real.c) means that the "-user my_user_name" option is completely ignored by the application itself. Does anybody have an idea why this should happen? Thanks in advance. PS: MPlayer dev-SVN-r24387-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2
