Hi all, I'm trying to view a rtsp stream from a network camera with static ip in a private network. It detects the stream, fps identifies the codec needed but ultimately fails to playback it. a simple ping to the camera works. The camera stream itself is working with mplayer on e newer version of debian (I'm using Fedora 7 and the mplayer version I'm using is the latest for that). Follwing is the ouutput from mplayer: [root at localhost ~]# mplayer rtsp://root:pass at 172.16.1.1/axis-media/media.amp MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ (Family: 15, Model: 67, Stepping: 2) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.
