[MPlayer-users] error: max chunk size exeeded (max was 0x0260)

[Damian Gatabria]

I'm trying to use MPlayer to play this pnm stream. Apparently
there's some unexpected info at the beginning of the stream, and
so i'm getting this "max size exceeded" error.

the stream is:
pnm://rm.bbc.net.uk/news/olmedia/cta/progs/02/click_online/03oct.rm

MPlayer's output:
[user at localhost a]$ mplayer -v
