For some reason mplayer can't handle some of the online radios my father likes to check out from time to time (i.e. going to http://www.tsf.pt/online/primeira/default.asp and clicking on "TSF em directo" on the navigation bar. See http://www.cbc.ca/listen/streams/r1_montreal_32.html for an english example of another radio I can't reach) and I really don't know why it doesn't work (win32codecs are installed right off portage).
What usually happens when I visit such a site is that mplayer-in (the plugin of choice for watching videos on the web in firefox) is that it will simply hang, not giving me any info. This is what follows when I try it via a terminal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop $ cat cbcr1-montreal.asx <ASX VERSION="3.0"> <ENTRY> <REF HREF="mms://wm05.nm.cbc.ca/cbcr1-montreal" /> </ENTRY> </ASX> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop $ mplayer cbcr1-montreal.asx MPlayer 1.0pre5try2-3.3.4 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon MP/XP Thoroughbred 1667 MHz (Family: 6, Stepping: 1) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes MMX supported but disabled MMX2 supported but disabled SSE supported but disabled 3DNow supported but disabled 3DNowExt supported but disabled CPUflags: MMX: 0 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: Reading config file /usr/share/mplayer/mplayer.conf Reading config file /home/hiffy/.mplayer/config Reading /home/hiffy/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/home/hiffy/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/share/mplayer/codecs.conf: 73 audio & 180 video codecs font: can't open file: /home/hiffy/.mplayer/font/font.desc Font /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc loaded successfully!
