[MPlayer-users] pna stream on bbc not working

[Adrian Buciuman]

Thanks for confirming the problem.
I've seen it both under Windows and under Linux.

There are  two things here:

1. pnm doesn't work. The server asks for a newer player.

2. mplayer doesn't realize that the server has refused the connection 
and is endlessly giving some error messages.

Maybe the bug is fixed in current, I haven't tested yet
(In the ChangeLog for Mplayer-current I see "* EOF detect and bugfixes
in pnm:// streams")

I also haven't tested xine with these pnm streams.
