Hmm, and Xine? Xine is using the codecs exactly as mplayer uses, but I don't think there's an issue of "xine 64" or "xine 32", but I'm not sure about this. Thanks, Hetz On Dec 15, 2007 8:07 PM, Erez D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ok, it was a 64bit problem ... > > w64codecs are a joke, it doesnt

Hi David, The idea that you mention could be done, although I don't recommend using the Apache on Linksys since it's pretty "huge" compared to the miminal amount of storage that you have on Linksys router. I suggest using some other tiny web servers and I'm sure the OpenWRT or Tomato have some pac

Hi, It really comes to behavior of the streaming server, if it tells the client what the file size is. If it is, then mplayer/xine should cope well and you can run forward and backward. If not, well, maybe the -idx switch in mplayer could help, but thats only works if you download the complete st

Hi Erez, You'll need the codec package to install on your machine (I think it should sit in /usr/lib/codecs or something), and then you could play the stream. If I'm not mistaken, both Xine and VLC works with WMV 9 files without a problem and have MMS support. Thanks, Hetz On Dec 15, 2007 5:17

Hi Erez The audio format that you mention is weird. I don't know what you can do with that. The reason you can't do fast forward is because there is no index. Usually, mplayer allows you to do that if it has index. If you have downloaded the movie to your pc, you need to run the following command
