mplyayer plug-in on mozilla can't play streaming radio
 
I am trying to play some streaming radio with mplayer-plug-in on mozilla, but it doesn't work.
the odd thing is that I can play SOME streaming radio with mplayer plug-in but not the others.

I tried to play this streaming radio from command line:
$ mplayer http://www.dr.dk/netradio/boogie20.asx

What can this be? I can play this streaming radio on my windows with media player...
I cannot play some streaming video, either. (but again, I can play SOME streaming videos...)
I have installed mplayer-codecs-essential and mplayer-codecs-win32.

Can anybody help me out?

I just ried out your sites and they all fail in MPlayer current, so I don't know what the problem is. Xine works fine on the sites you listed, so if you don't have it installed try it out.

It works here also it didn't work the first time I tried.

Running the mplayer and corresponding plugin provided by libranet and codecs as available at marillat's.

I had already installed pug-in for mozilla and it works for many streaming radio.... have also
installed codecs-essential and codecs-win32. it still doesn't work for some streaming radio.

anyway, I have just installed xine and it works fine.
I don't want to install plug-in for xine, though... seems like it can crush
mozilla quite often.

for the time being I will just use mplayer-plug-in and xine for internet radio.
thanks for help.

asx files are playlists, not media themselves. you can either use:
which i found from catting the asx file, or
Code:

mplayer -playlist http://www.dr.dk/netradio/boogie20.asx
to interpret it correctly

thanks for your help. it helped to use -playlist.

btw, I hv actually found a solution to play some video:

I should have mentioned that I was using FC2, but I didn't know
that it was distro specific problem.

now I can play wmv videos... :)
