[MPlayer-users] Streaming videof (MS)

[Brett I. Holcomb]

More testing.  I set Mozilla 1.2.1 up with a helper application for mime type vides/x-ms-asf (which is what this URL is) and told it to execute gmplayer for this.

Gmplayer opens but I get a "This file format is not recognized error" and the gmplayer display shows 00-channel2-14 [00:00:00] scrolling by.  Evidently gmplayer did not get the correct url (below) given to it.  

Is this a Mozilla problem in that it did not give gmplayer the correct url or is something else happening?  If it's a Mozilla problem how do I set it up to do this - does anyone know?

Thanks.
