Hi, I thought maybe the problem was your not having codecs.conf installed (it should be copied to the ~/.mplayer/ directory), but this stream still wouldn't work.
However, changing the mms: to mmst: in the stream URL works fine. I've run into quite a few of those, btw. Hope this helps! There are still some weird streams around that don't do anything except give a "Connected" message. They appear to connect and then get immediately disconnected, judging from Netstat.
Bingo... works for me! (I too kept thinking problem was with codecs etc.) - Any idea though why you need to do this "kluge" of writing mmst in place of the 'mms' url that appears in the http link? - Also, why do xine (and windoze media player) work ok here without the kluge? - Is this a "bug" that is/should be fixed in mplayer? Thanks, Jeff
