The server thinks your player (MPlayer) is too old. It's not a codec  
problem. Codec is DNET, and it's not new.

I don't know how to fix it, but if the stream is also available as rtsp  
(that's true for your link), yust replace pnm://... with rtsp://...
BTW, your link fails also with xine (MPlayer pnm and rtsp stream code  
was ported from xine).
