[MPlayer-users] rtsp streaming problem in old fedora

[Anirban Dutta Choudhury]

Hi all,

I'm trying to view a rtsp stream from a network camera with static ip
in a private network. It detects the stream, fps identifies the codec
needed but ultimately fails to playback it. a simple ping to the
camera works. The camera stream itself is working with mplayer on e
newer version of debian (I'm using Fedora 7 and the mplayer version
I'm using is the latest for that). Follwing is the ouutput from
mplayer:

[root at localhost ~]# mplayer rtsp://root:pass@172.16.1.1/axis-media/media.amp

So, what else should I try? Is it the rtsp library of Fedora?
