[MPlayer-users] Problem with streaming realmedia files

[Marty]

I couldn't get that link to work on MPlayer or RealPlayer.  RealPlayer said that it could not find that file (it is from 1998).  I was able to get MPlayer to play the first file in the list from 2004...I have RealPlayer codecs installed.  Also, there are 2 addresses in the link: a pnm address which didn't work and the one that did is:

mplayer rtsp://ravi.br-online.de:5050/ravi/alpha/centauri/v/041222.rm
