[MPlayer-users] MPlayer streaming trough proxy fails

[armin.gerritsen at philips.com]

Hello,

I get the following error. What is causing this?
With windows I can access the server, so the proxy doesn't block any
required ports or so.
MPlayer can also play streams from local servers, so it is not that MPlayer
hasn't been compiled with stream-support (Not that I would miss that since I
did that all manually. :-) )

I get:

[agerrits at pc67148960 bin]$ export http_proxy="http://130.145.128.253:8080"

I also tried putting http_proxy on the commandline:

mplayer  http_proxy://130.145.128.253:8080/rtsp://real.iae.nl:554/decibel.rm

as in the FAQ, but it gives this error:

What is causing this?
