[MPlayer-users] mplayer cannot play real video stream

[Thomas Kempis]

Hi all,

I recently moved to Fedora 7 with my new 64bit machine. Unfortunately when I
tried to run mplayer with a real audio stream the program hangs. This is
what i got...

[root at cochise home]# mplayer

Does anybody have any idea what is going on? I can play the same link in
RealPlayer... no problem there. Mplayer can also play local videos and
windows media streams. I am wondering if there is any problem with the 64bit
architecture. I installed also the player through the source code and the
freshrpm repositories and obtained basically the same result.

I really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.
