[Live-devel] Linux Client vs Windows Server: Failed to get a SDP description from URL

[Fabio Zeri]

I am trying to connect with mplayer (1.0rc1) compiled with liveMedia
(2007.07.01) support to a rtsp windows server unsuccessfully.

I have already tried to connect to with vlc and with openRTSP but
connection always fails with the same debug error:

==] CUT HERE [==
Failed to get a SDP description from URL
"rtsp://aliceliverossoalice1.alice.cdn.interbusiness.it/alicelive1?WMThinning=0": Failed to read response: Success
==] CUT HERE [==

The same URL works fine with Windows Media Player 9.

Could this be a mismatch protocol issue from server or from stream
library?

Here a give you a more verbose log from mplayer:
