Thanks bpa for the pointer... Alien is getting real old and I just keep it for sentimental value ;) I will disable it. However as I enabled realplayer ( v1.0) with the extension downloader ( of server 7.3.3). I end up in the same spot. the same Mplayer version is downloaded and I get the same error ( end of file). However if I just do " mplayer rtsp://...." using the same mplayer.exe on a DOS command window the station works... I do not get an option to select a library as you mentioned upon install. I am not sure if you are talking about a software build to get the correct install ( this is beyond my capability). But I can modify custom-convert.conf if that is what you meant ?? If you have a minute to send a more detailed pointer, I would appreciate it. It would be awesome if realPlay can end up playing ( Quicktime and Live_555) most of the issues we have is with the Wowza server... but later versions of mplayer can certainly play these streams. It would be good if realplayer if the answer to that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mitrih's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90070 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
