[MPlayer-users] Streaming "MS ASF video" / MLB.com

[Christopher Swingley]

Greetings!

I discovered this morning that Major League Baseball has moved from 
Realaudio streams to something called MS ASF video.  The person I spoke 
to on the phone kept mentioning "Windows Media Player", which obviously 
leaves a Linux user out in the cold.  At the time I thought, "no 
problem, mplayer can handle that!".  But when I click on the link, and 
tell Firefox to use gmplayer to handle the file, gmplayer opens and 
nothing else happens.  Gmplayer's display shows "00 - meta, FILE 0:00:00 
/ 0:00:00".

Does anyone have any advice on how to determine what gmplayer is doing, 
or how to further debug the sitation?  Do I need to give Firefox some 
hint that the file coming is a stream?

Thanks!

Chris
