[Live-devel] Can not view stream from Darwin Streaming Server

L.S.,
I have just compiled mplayer + live and now try to view an rtsp stream
from a Darwin Streaming Server. The player hangs with or without
"-rtsp-stream-over-tcp". It looks like it picks up the stream, but then
the stream does not play. However I am able to play the same video file
from localdisk. So mplayer has all needed codecs etc. 

Mplayer is downloaded from CVS yesterday, the live version is
live.2005.08.09.tar.gz and also up to date. In previous versions, I had
no problems viewing streams from a DSS server. The stream works for a
normal (windows) quicktime player.

This is the output from the rtsp stream:

Playing rtsp://darwin.centraalstation.net/sample_300kbit.mp4.
STREAM_RTSP, URL: rtsp://darwin.centraalstation.net/sample_300kbit.mp4
Resolving darwin.centraalstation.net for AF_INET...

STREAM_LIVEDOTCOM, URL:
rtsp://darwin.centraalstation.net/sample_300kbit.mp4
Stream not seekable!
Initiated "video/MP4V-ES" RTP subsession

This is what I get when I play the very same file from localdisk:

Playing /mnt/salsa/home/robert/sample_300kbit.mp4.
Quicktime/MOV file format detected.

kind regards,
Robert


Ps. I also started the program using -v -v -v, this is the tail of the
output:
