The spaces and unescaped weird characters in the URL are confusing it, try it in single quotes like this: mplayer 'rtsp://rm-acl.bbc.co.uk/news/media_acl/mps/fix/news/business/video/138000/bb/138961_16x9_bb.rm?title="BBC"&author="BBC"©right="(C)British Broadcasting Corporation"' -Gav -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
