Unhappy mplayer freezes when trying to play real media stream


Hi all,

I run into a problem when trying to use MPlayer in my linux 64 X2 box. My linux distro is Fedora 7 and I use source code to compile MPlayer and also installed through the freshrpm repo via yum.

Everything works fine except that when I try to play a real media stream the program hangs as I show next:

[root@cochise home]# mplayer http://play.rbn.com/?url=ewtn/g2ewtn...=rtsp&rbnkey=1
[4] 13039
[5] 13040
[root@cochise home]# MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ (Family: 15, Model: 107, Stepping: 1)
3DNow supported but disabled

Can't init input joystick
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory
Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.

I can play wm streams, I can play avi movies from the hard drive, I can play mp3... I do not know what is going on with the rm stream!!!!

Anybody has any ideas???? I will really appreciate any suggestions...

Thanks.
