I have run into an issue running mplayer (Sherpya-SVN-429280-4.5.0) on Vista. If, from a terminal window on the Vista machine I run mplayer c:\inetpub\wwwroot\movie.mp4 The movie plays great. If, I run mplayer http://VistaIISSserverAddr/movie.mp4 or mplayer http://localhost/movie.mp4 It takes minutes for the movie to start playing, but it does eventually start playing. (The movie file is about 30 MB. If I use a smaller file the delay is less.) I get an occasional error message prior to the playback starting indicating that the connection has timed out. If, from an XP machine running the same mplayer executable, I run mplayer http://VistaIISServerAddr/movie.mp4 The playback starts almost immediately, there appears to be some progressive down loading happening behind the scenes. Works great. Also if I put movie.mp4 on the IIS server on my XP machine and access it locally, (mplayer http://localhost/movie.mp4), it works fine. Has anyone else run into this behavior? If so, what did you do to fix it? Thank you. _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
