[MPlayer-users] Playing RP streams

[Nicholas Avenell]

I've just reinstalled mplayer (latest tarball, straight configure,
make && make install) with all the codecs in /usr/local/lib/codecs/
and I'm trying to stream Realplayer streams (From the BBC) but get
this:

(Running as not-root doesn't make any difference, apart from not being
able to read /dev/rtc, which I'm fixing)

Any ideas as to how I can fix this?
