After installing and compiling mplayer for live support (thank god for portage) i tried to play one stream i saw in real.com "now playing on realone" with no luck. Here is the log Playing rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=abcchan&url=030211defense.rm&rpcontexturl=h ttp://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/videofiles/Video/030211defense_video_c ontext.html&rpcontextwidth=497&rpcontextheight=185&rpurl=http://abcnews. go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/disasterplan030211.html Connected to server: start.real.com This stream is non-cacheable Stream not seekable!

DEMUXER: freeing demuxer at 0x8510ce8 vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not inited.. Seems it just can't find the file. If i try mplayer "rtsp://start.real.com/djiasjdoiasdas" it says the same thing. Is there a proper way to feed mplayer the stream? Francisco J. León A. VII Semestre de Lic. en Computación Maracaibo, Edo. Zulia, Venezuela
