<br><font size=3>Hi, <br>
</font>
<br><font size=3>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...). </font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>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.
<br>
</font>
<br><font size=3>One Server, I downloaded the Live server (live555MediaServer
for Linux), and made it running. </font>
<br><font size=3>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. <br>
</font>
<br><font size=3>But when I ran mplayer stream. I got the "unsupported
RTSP server" error as below. Any idea what's wrong?<br>
