Hello Stroller, thank you for your reply. I've tried what you recommend, but with no success. As I understand it, the -playlist option plays each file from nrsr_archive_473.rm, but there is always timeout (see log below). Are there any suggestion howto play/capture this tricky video? Thank you. Output (note the -vo null is there for purpose and should have nothing to do with timeouts): mplayer -playlist http://mmserv.nrsr.sk:8080/ramgen/Archive1/nrsr_archive_473.rm -vo null MPlayer dev-SVN-r26753-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team CPU: Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 170 (Family: 15, Model: 35, Stepping: 2) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE SSE2 Resolving mmserv.nrsr.sk for AF_INET...
