Hi,
I thought maybe the problem was your not having codecs.conf installed
(it should be copied to the ~/.mplayer/ directory), but this stream
still wouldn't work.
However, changing the mms: to mmst: in the stream URL works fine. I've
run into quite a few of those, btw. Hope this helps! There are still
some weird streams around that don't do anything except give a
"Connected" message. They appear to connect and then get immediately
disconnected, judging from Netstat.
Take care,
Steve
