sermat Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) Hi to all. Would somebody be kind and try to play this stream (it is from the popular golf site pgatour.com): mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com/turner/gl/pgatour/video/pga-tour/sod/2007/04/19/sod_07neworleans_rnd1_7th_eag_dimarco.pgatour.hp.wmv I tried all players known to me and none can play it. Many thanks and best regards, serge. Edited April 20, 2007 by sermat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 after adding mms as a protocol in opera kaffeine was able to play it using the kmplayer part but not xine (2007.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 it works fine in mplayer for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sermat Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks ffi: Ijust tried kaffeine from the command line and no luck on my side. Hi Mhn: This is interesting: It must be then something wrong with my mplayer. I am using the mplayer from svn that I just compiled an hour ago, and it all looked OK during compilation. Would you tell me what mplayer are you using (version)? Many thanks, serge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) Hi Mhn: This is interesting: It must be then something wrong with my mplayer. I am using the mplayer from svn that I just compiled an hour ago, and it all looked OK during compilation. Would you tell me what mplayer are you using (version)? MPlayer 1.0-1.rc1.10plf2007.0 Also, have you installed all necessary codecs? You can do this by installing the package win32-codecs that is in the plf-repository.

Greg2 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Mhn has already told you what version, but here's some instructions: If your using Mandriva and you haven't already done so, go to: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=40552 follow the instructions and for easy-urpmi. You will need to have installed (if you don't already); mplayer, mplayerplugin, win32-codecs. Note: use the mplayer and win32-codecs from the plf repos. Open Firefox and type in the address bar as url: about:config Now just rightclick somwhere into the main window. A little box with options to choose will appear. Choose "new", then "string". Then copy this line into the appearing text field: network.protocol-handler.app.mms Into the next text field: /usr/bin/mplayer Now you do the same thing again, but this time you choose not "string" but "boolean", and the line to copy is: network.protocol-handler.external.mms Then set "true". Now you can just use Firefox to listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sermat Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yes, the codecs (essential) is installed. These are the two mplayer versions I've tried: MPlayer 1.0pre8-4.1.1 © 2000-2006 MPlayer Team MPlayer dev-SVN-r23025-4.1.1 © 2000-2007 MPlayer Team No idea at this point what's wrong on my side, but thank you very much for the help. serge.

misfitpierce Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Indeed it works fine in mplayer under KMplayer. Make sure your codecs are all setup as said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 No idea at this point what's wrong on my side, but thank you very much for the help. Do you get any error message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sermat Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Here is the snippet of what it prints: .... Error while parsing chunk header ... Video: no video Starting playback... A: 9.7 (09.7) of 11.0 (11.0) 0.3% 0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sermat Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 OK found the problem: It was the location of the codecs !!! That is, I had them in /usr/local/lib/codecs, but the location that works is /usr/lib/codecs !!! Thanks to all for such a quick help. Regards, serge.
