[MPlayer-users] mplayer behind proxy

[Amit Soni]

Hello all,

I am trying to use mplayer behind proxy for radio streaming. I am using the
following command:

$mplayer http_proxy://amitsoni:passwd@proxy.com:3128/http://asot.ath.cx:8000


But it gives the following output saying that it can't authenticate me even
though I have mentioned username and password in command.

$mplayer http_proxy://amitsoni:passwd@proxy.com:3128/http://asot.ath.cx:8000
