[MPlayer-users] Problems with specific MMS-protocol URLs

[J. Gareth Williams]

Thanks for the reply, Glyn, but that's not the problem, despite what the
error messages say:

No, it's still there!  That's the whole premise of my question.  A quick
reboot into Windows and firing up Media Player confirms that the file IS
still there.  It can be referenced by both the .asx playlist and the
actual .wmv file. 

Trust me, it's there!  But mplayer doesn't find it somehow.  

Any other insights, anyone?
