-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've just tried something else. I opened the stream in the other OS, and ran tcpdump on my server to see what was happening in terms of the ip address and ports. The interesting thing is that the stream apparently comes from 66.250.188.214 on tcp port 80, with the destination address being the windows machine playing the stream with a destination port of 1079. There is also traffic going from my windows machine on port 80, to 66.250.188.214 port 1079. Going to 66.250.188.214 port 1079, doesn't give me anything, it looks like they have it firewalled off. However, pointing links/lynx to http://66.250.188.214 gives me the following message: video/x-ms-asf D)ownload, or C)ancel. Naturally, I downloaded the file, however mplayer doesn't like the file. mplayer: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: no version information available (required by mplayer) MPlayer 1.0pre4-3.3.3 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium III Katmai/Pentium III Xeon Tanner 601.6 MHz (Family: 6, Stepping: 3) Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled with runtime CPU detection - WARNING - this is not optimal!

Cache fill: 0.01% (46 bytes) Exiting... (End of file) I named the file test.media, since in the save box in lynx, the file name is the ip address, so it looks like the file extention wouldn't matter. The file is actually a text file, and reads: [Reference] Ref1=http://192.168.100.122:80/ As you can see, the URL in that file is an internal class C IP address. So the idea is that IE downloads the file, which in turn somehow directs it to play the stream from the internal address. I can't think of a way to duplicate this, since there would be no difference as far as I can see between having the browser pass the file to mplayer, and me passing the already saved file to mplayer from the shell. I couldn't agree with you more, these ever increasing embedded players are very annoying. Greg On Mon, May 31, 2004 at 03:12:47PM -0700, David Csercsics wrote: > Nope that won't work.
