[MPlayer-users] h.264 rtsp stream from QTSS

[Kasper Peeters]

I am trying to make mplayer play an h.264 encoded video stream over
rtsp, served by QTSS on OS-X. Unfortunately, it only plays the audio
part. With a current CVS snapshot and the latest LIVE library, the
command

  mplayer -rtsp-stream-over-tcp 
            rtsp://www.as.huji.ac.il:7070/phys23/Dec_28_1600.mov

yields

Any idea on how to fix this? I tried to add "-vc ffh264" (since there
is no sign of h.264 being recognised in the output above, though the
server admin has guaranteed that it is sending h.264), but that
doesn't make any difference. 

The server is not mine so I can't change any settings, but it will
remain up if anyone wants to try the above with more verbose output.

Thanks!
