Hi Greg, Try: mplayer -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/bb/rm/video/news24_bb.ram Alternatively, grab the contents of the ram file: wget http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/bb/rm/video/news24_bb.ram -qO - rtsp://rmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive-acl/farm/live24/news/news24_bb.rm?BBC-UID=b43783e8129f3b062346e396c0d073415837f35c90302174a4cff63f8234acdb_n&SSO2-UID= And bung that directly into mplayer, either *should* work.
