[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html] Hey I apologize for such wide distribution. I was wondering, if some one could guide me on how to view a windows media server stream (rstp/.asf) that requires authentication as well as session state. I have necessary user name and password to view the stream in windows but I am not able to play this with MPlayer on Linux. I tried with some of the commands like 1. mplayer mms://username:password@url - didn't work.
From the manpage, that should work. Try using -user and -passwd, and see if that helps.
2. downloaded rtsp live plugin compiled it and tried - it didn't work either.
Any help on how to make this stream work on linux will be very much appreciated.
You'll need to give us specific details of what is going wrong. Send the _entire_ output of mplayer -v http://user:password@yoururl.com/whatever If you don't want to reveal your username/password to the universe, make sure to change them in the output before sending the mail. :) -Corey
