[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] (take 3) Problem in libmpdemux/asf-streaming.c (was Problem in opening URLs)

[Bertrand Baudet]

Well, I don't quite remember which mime-type correspond to which streaming 
type. But for what I remember some of the mime-type can lead to 2 streaming
type. The thing that should be done is also to check the beginning of the
 payload.

So this need more testing! Anyway applying it can generate some feed back on
the user mailing list.
