[MPlayer-users] Problem playing rtsp

[Dolt Dolt]

 Having problems playing realaudio streams. (I RTFM, googled (groups and pages) and searched this list). Sorry if I missed something. 
 
 Anyway. Using Mandriva 2006 (but had same prob. with 10.2/2005).
 
 Now using rpm from PLF 1.0-1.pre7.20051220
 (also had used the stock mplayer in Mand. 2006).
 
 Installed all codecs.
 
 1. No problem playing a local .rm file
 2. No problem playing either streaming mp3 or wma.
 
 But, when I try to connect to rtsp with the following command:
 
 mplayer -v 1 -rtsp-stream-over-tcp rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra
 
 (or without the -rtsp-stream-over-tcp option) 
 
 I get the error message below. It recognizes it as a real stream but then seems to choke on the wav inside (?) expecting different size chunks of data. 
 
 That's as far as I can understand what's going on so any searching and reading I've done has been limited to background and searching for this particular error. 
 
 I suspect that I am missing something basic. Any help would be much appreciated.
