[Live-devel] can't stream - unsupported RTSP server error

[yyang at commscope.com]

Hi, 

I have two FC6 boxes. One is named server the other called workstation. 
They are back to back connected via a Gigabit ethernet link. There is no 
switch, router or any firewall in between. The network connectivity 
between them works fine ( I can ping, I can mount a directory using nfs, 
etc...). 

My goal is to stream a video from the server to workstation using mplayer. 
The video clip is called hd.avi and is saved in /root/share. 

One Server, I downloaded the Live server (live555MediaServer for Linux), 
and made it running. 
On workstation, I had built and installed (copied) the live555 client 
(that is live.2007.08.03a.tar.gz). I donwloaded the mplayer source (the 
latest Subversion snapshot). Configured it and saw it detected the live555 
libs. Then did make and make install, no error. I can play the same video 
file locally on workstation. The mplayer works fine. 

But when I ran mplayer stream. I got the "unsupported RTSP server" error 
as below. Any idea what's wrong?
