[MPlayer-users] Help playing URL (small stream followed by bigger one)

Hi,

I am having trouble playing a URL like

http://wm23.bestmediahost.com/cl-idesitv.com\(sony\)v2sdfsdf2

which features an ad like short video stream followed by the real
stream. This works well with Windows media player but mplayer does not
seem to hop on to the second stream and just quits after playing the
first short stream.

Is there an option I am missing? Is this scenario supported by mplayer?

BTW I am using linux
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 #1 Tue Jun 6 00:52:14
EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

and mplayer with version

MPlayer SVN-r22817 rpm.livna.org (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz (Family: 6, Model: 13, Stepping: 8)
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1


Thanks so much.

Siddharth
