[Live-devel] RTSP url error

[James Bird]

Hi all,

I am trying to play the following url:
http://www.abc.net.au/sydney/stories/s721931.htm
(scroll right to bottom of page)

I get a file called m496661.RAM which contains the URL:
rtsp://media1.abc.net.au/sydney/m496661.ra^M

I've installed all of the following from source on debian (didn't use 
any .deb package except for firefox):

1. mozilla-firefox
2. gecko-sdk
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7/gecko-sdk-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7.tar.gz

3. Live.com - followed instructions at:
http://www.live.com/liveMedia/#config-unix
except my live folder is in /usr/local/lib.

4. Mplayer --enable-live --enable-gui --enable-xmms
downloaded Mplayer-20040930.tar.bz2

5. Mplayer Blue skin, arial 18 font, install as in README for Mplayer

6.'all' package at:
http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/codecs.html
extract and place files in /usr/local/lib/codecs.

7. mplayerplugin
http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/install.php#mplayer
./configure --with-gecko-sdk=../gecko-sdk
(path of gecko is /usr/local/gecko-dsk)
copy the mplayerplug-in.so file to /usr/local/firefox/plugins and and 
mplayerplug-in.xpt file to /usr/local/firefox/components dir.

After all this I still can't listen to the link! I get

Playing rtsp://media1.abc.net.au/sydney/m496661.ra^M.
Resolving media1.abc.net.au for AF_INET...

Any tips!?

James.
