How do I play Real Media Files?

Hello, i want to play real media files. There is one particular real media stream that I want to play, and i want to have it so that i can create a script that when runs just opens the stream at full screen.

So the player isn't really important to me since i really won't be interfacing with it in the usual manner.

I'm running DSL Linux 3.4

--Thanks for the help.

Code:

mplayer -fs rtsp://address/of/file.rm

This should play the stream

Code:

mplayer -dumpstream rtsp://address/of/file.rm -dumpfile ./localfile

mplayer -fs localfile

This will save the stream to localfile

If you don't have the necessary codecs:

Code:

# cd /usr/lib/codecs

# wget http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20061022.tar.bz2

# tar xvjf all-20061022.tar.bz2

# exit

Should work now.
