[MPlayer-users] playing asf files from nfl.com

[Ian Truelsen]

I am trying to access the internet audio from nfl.com, but I can't seem
to get it to work. This is the url that I am getting from the site:

http://webevents.yahoo.com/streamlaunch/launch.asp?ei=2666&sgid=15093

When I try to load it, the message says that it is of video/x-ms-asf
format and so I select mplayer to play it. This is from Galeon. Mplayer will then load with the message that the file or format is not recognized/supported. If this is an avi, mpg or asf file, please contact the author.

So, I tried it from a terminal. This is the output, what there is of it:

MPlayer 0.90pre6-2.95.3 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)

CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon TB Thunderbird (Family: 6, Stepping: 2)

SKIN dir 1: '/home/ian/.mplayer/Skin'
SKIN dir 2: '/usr/share/mplayer/Skin'
Font /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc loaded successfully! (206 chars)

And then it just sits there. I have to close the term to stop mplayer at this point.

I am currently running Linux 2.4.18 with latency and preempt patches and gcc 2.95.3.

Does anyone know how to access these radio links?
