Thank you RVM!!!! -prefer-ipv4 worked. >From Vista machine: mplayer -prefer-ipv4 http://localhost/movie.mp4 starts playing right away like it does on XP. Do you know why that option is required when running on Vista and not XP? Thanks Again! > 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.)

If so, what did you do to fix it? Does -prefer-ipv4 help? -- RVM _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
