I think that both vlc and mplayer use Alas, I'm not interested in playing the stream live.

Hmm. Plain openRTSP creates separate audio and video files. I don't think this is useful for later playing. mplayer doesn't find anything in the output of openRTSP -4 (or -q). > You may want to try this first. Are you sure that the problem is with > the client, and not with the server? QuickTime on Mac OS X can play the stream. They also offer an MMS stream for Windows users. I can successfully capture that with mplayer -dumpstream, but I'd prefer MP4 over WMV. Just because. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
