Hello everybody!

I have successfully installed MPlayer-1.0pre8. I run

mplayer -dumpstream 
rtsp://ms.espectador.com/audio/app_metafiles/dol0606282.rm -dumpfile 
dol0606282.rm

and it works but with the following suspicious output:

the line

is very suspicious but everything works. At least I get a file 
dol0606282.rm. Now I want to play this file without success running:

mplayer dol0606282.rm

and I get the following output:

Something similar happens if I want to play directly the stream from the 
server:

I'm not a expert so I don't know what the problem could be. I've 
searched everywhere but didn't find an answer. With realplayer I can 
play the file from the server but not the one I downloaded. I looked 
inside the dol0606282.rm file and it seems to be a correct .rm file (at 
least in comparison with another .rm files which do work with mplayer 
and realplayer).

Any ideas?
