Not quite sure, Gunter, what exactly you mean with "stream audio and video",
but I think this was a good one .... :)
** 1: I listen to Internet radio streams like this:
mplayer -playlist http://novastreamradio.org/playlists/live_broadband.m3u
mplayer http://streaming.radionomy.com:8000/Play-Misty-for-Me
*** 2: I watch Israeli TV News like that:
mplayer "mms://s3bwm.castup.net/server12/31/306/30679191-61.wmv?ct=DE&rg=WE&aid=31&ts=0&cu=2A572D4E-6F38-4D5F-9163-026841B8D069"
(URL changes daily, IINM ... )
*** 3:
And I watch German IP-TV (WDR, e.g.) like this:
mplayer -msglevel all=-1 rtp://@239.35.20.29:10000
(AFAIK one needs a paid subscription to do #3 - and the firewall must
allow multicast streams: see Google for "igmp multicast" ..)
Now what?? ... :)
But I admit the incantations to make mplayer do all that look a lil'
esoteric ... :)
I intend since long to start an entry on my Linux blog with my
favorite mplayer commands only ... No promises I'll get that done at
some point, but your email certainly is an encouragement to at least
consider it. Again. ... :)
Best Regards
Wolfgang
