Hi,

i'm trying to get this stream for Times Square in new york playing on mplayer, but it won't show the actual video stream: http://wms1.earthcam.com/times (which is the cam1 button here http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/) now the straight flash ones work in firefox / mplayer / mplayerplug-in, but not the actual windows maedia stream. it's like the server is deliberatly dropping the connection when it finds something other than windows media player at the other end... on windows you get the earthcam logo then it cuts to the video stream, on linux i just get the logo. i don't see any other http GET's doing any packet sniffing, so it' snot like there are just two playlist files or something. anyone able to watch this with anythign under linux?

same here on firefox & mplayer & mplayerplug-in, no time square stream, just the earthcam logo in an endless loop...

not just me then... anyone else get any joy?

Took a little while to buffer, but works fine here using Firefox and the gxine plug-in. No joy with MPlayer.

hmm, yeah my arch enemy xine played it first time.. wonder what mplayer's problem is...
