[MPlayer-users] mplayer hangs playing wmv stream

[Roderick Johnstone]

Hi

I'm finding the following command (essentially as generated 
mplayerplug-in but without the -wid) hangs mplayer 1.0pre4 (rpm install 
on Fedora Core 1):

mplayer -xy 320 -cache 512 -osdlevel 0 -nojoystick -slave -nomouseinput 
mms://windows.streamuk.com/royalsoc/beagleHI.wmv

It reports it fills the cache with 98304 bytes and then writes "ASF file 
format detected." and then hangs.

Can anyone confirm this behaviour please and offer a fix?

Many thanks

Roderick Johnstone
