[MPlayer-users] Improved RTSP/RTP streaming support

[Ross Finlayson]

I'm pleased to report that the "MPlayer" media player has now been updated 
with improved RTSP/RTP streaming support.

- MPEG-4 audio and video RTP streams are now supported.
- Buffering of incoming packets has been improved, and there should now be 
significantly less data loss when playing high bitrate streams.
- Audio/video synchronization has been improved (especially after resuming 
from a pause).
  - MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video streams should now look better when there is 
packet loss.
- In most cases you no longer need to use the "-fps" option to set the 
video frame rate.  Instead, the MPlayer code will try to figure out the 
frame rate automatically, by comparing the RTP presentation times of 
successive packets.

You can get this new version of MPlayer by downloading the "latest CVS 
snapshot":

Plus, for RTSP/RTP streaming support, you will also need the "LIVE.COM 
Streaming Media" libraries.  See <http://www.live.com/liveMedia/> for more 
details.
