I need to view video streams (via MMS) in FC6. Unfortunatly, I cannot provide a url for testing as the stream must be accessed by an IP within the my university. No other checks are made: no UA sniffing. Note that the streams ARE playable in VMWare virtual machines running MS Windows XP. This is the output of Mplayer: [dotancohen@localhost ~]$ mplayer mms://video9.technion.ac.il/Courses/Solid-Mech1/Solid%20Mechanics%201%20-01.wmv MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, Stepping: 6) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0: No such file or directory Can't init input joystick mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.

It seems as though it cannot find the server, however Windows Media Player 11 in VMWare loads and displays that video just fine. There is no AU sniffing at the server. What might prevent mplayer from connecting? I have SELinux set to permisive, if that's important. I did select to have a firewall when installing FC6, how would I check if that's the problem? I actually don't think that the firewall is the problem as VMWare machine DO connect fine. Dotan Cohen http://lyricslist.com/ http://what-is-what.com/
