[MPlayer-users] can't capture live quicktime stream

[James Kelly]

Operating System: Mac OS X v. 10.3.2
mplayer version: MPlayer-20040207
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Problem: I am trying to capture audio stream at url 
http://www.yourmaclife.com/subpages/qt/stream.mov with below command 
and get error: Stream not seekable!

Am I using an incorrect command syntax here?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
