Hi all, [Note: I read the manuals, searched the archives and internet, but no solution came up] I want to be able to check if an uploaded file is streamable on our streaming video server. I thought of using mplayer to try play the stream taking a one-frame capture and check if this was succesful. But I have trouble with mplayer playing a mms stream. When just trying (for example) 'mplayer mms:// wm.stream1.fsw.leidenuniv.nl:80/beta/ewe_oral_narratives.wmv' from a windows console... after reporting that it is trying to connect it does nothing for about 40seconds and then it plays just like I expect it should. Windows media player plays the stream almost instantly. When using msglevel all=7 I get the following output around making the connection: Trying ASF/UDP... ===> ASF/UDP failed Trying ASF/TCP... Connecting to server 132.229.65.52[132.229.65.52]: 80... Connected read error:: No such file or directory pre-header read failed ===> ASF/TCP failed Trying ASF/HTTP... Connecting to server 132.229.65.52[132.229.65.52]: 80... And then is goes well after that. Seems that it is trying UDP and TCP connections but fails and succeeds with a HTTP connection. Can I force mplayer to directly try ASF/HTTP? Thanx for any help/suggestion!
