I'm having trouble accessing streaming video from a local website. If I click on a video in iceweasel (up-to-date Lenny), I see that MPlayer-Plugin is called, and the browser also shows:
Connecting to server 70.61.148.132[70.61.148.132]: 80... ps shows the following process: mplayer -wid 0x1201a26 -vf scale=640:-3 -osdlevel 1 -nojoystick \ -noconsolecontrols -cookies -softvol -slave -user-agent NSPlayer \ -nomouseinput -cache 512 http://70.61.148.132/WXOD/WCT%2018120.WMV?MSWMExt=.asf After a couple of minutes, the browser declares: No stream found to handle url http://70.61.148.132:80/WXOD/WCT%2018120.WMV?MSWMExt=.asf I also tried using mplayer directly: mplayer http://70.61.148.132/WXOD/WCT%2018120.WMV?MSWMExt=.asf -dumpstream -dumpfile output.asf This gives more informative errors, namely lots of the following: Playing http://70.61.148.132/WXOD/WCT%2018120.WMV?MSWMExt=.asf. Resolving 70.61.148.132 for AF_INET6... Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6: 70.61.148.132 Connecting to server 70.61.148.132[70.61.148.132]: 80... Cache size set to 320 KBytes and eventually the same "No stream found ..." shown above. I called the content provider, who said these are aimed at Windows Media Player and that they have been dealing with recent changes to WMP. If I paste the URL into Explorer, it brings up WMP and plays OK. Videos from this site worked fine with Etch mplayer about a year ago. The provider said that I could try VLC, but I haven't yet. Does the "No stream found" mean that mplayer can't play the new format, or is it really a problem finding a stream at all? Any ideas how to get this working from Lenny? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
