Hi there, I've built mplayer latest svn snapshot on my debian lenny amd64 machine (64 bit build) and I'm trying to play an rtsp stream served up by what seems to be an Apple Darwin streaming server. Incidentally I don't think I have a proper video output driver compiled in yet, but equally not sure it matters given that it's not even got to the point of trying to display anything. I'm using the 64 bit build because liblive555 was available in the debian repository as a 64 bit build only, just to get started with. I get the following output which looks (in my naive view) as if the stream is being cut-off before mplayer has received any data. The output with -v is as follows: jsr at bender:~/math/math102/lectures/video$ mplayer -v -vo xv -ao alsa rtsp://*.*.*.*/MathStream/Math102/2010-02-22.mov MPlayer SVN-r31036-snapshot-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team CPU vendor name: GenuineIntel max cpuid level: 10 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7400 @ 2.16GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, Stepping: 6) extended cpuid-level: 8 extended cache-info: 268468288 Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNowExt: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 SSSE3: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 SSSE3 CMOV get_path('codecs.conf') -> '/home/jsr/.mplayer/codecs.conf' Reading /home/jsr/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/home/jsr/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Using built-in default codecs.conf.
