[MPlayer-users] Mplayer doesn't play RTSP stream anymore...

[andrea]

Hi,

I've been using mplayer for a long time to listen to or to dump streams
like the following:

rtsp://mm6.rai.it/radiofonia/radio3/napoli/uomini_profeti/2010/uomini_profeti2010_09_19.ra

They are actually Real Audio files that you can only access via RTSP,
not just download.

Recently mplayer started to give the following error after some minutes,
and without playing or downloading anything:

rtsp: read error.
librtsp: buffer overflow in rtsp_get

I really can't figure out what's happening. It cannot be a network
problem because gstreamer and ffmpeg can play those streams without any
problem. Unfortunately, both lack an option like -bandwidth which, set
to a high enough value, allows mplayer to dump a 45 minutes stream in
about one minute.

The only two things that happened recently to my system are: 1) I
changed ISP, now I have TelecomItalia, with a new ADSL router; 2) I
upgraded my Debian system from Lenny to Squeeze.

Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

Best regards.

As I don't speak italian, it was a little boring... so I stopped
listening after 15 minutes. Plays fine here on MPlayer SVN-r32842-4.4.5

And with latest MPlayer SVN-r33081-4.4.5 I dumped the whole stream in
little more than 12 seconds.

Both wget and mplayer -dumpstream keep happily downloading, but MPlayer
SVN-r33081-4.4.5 does only play a few (~10) seconds.

Hi ,
I am under XP sp3 with Mplayer (Sherpya-SVN-r32848-4.2.5)

I agree , 8s only with the below batch file :
---
@echo on
start mplayer.exe -cache 10000 -forceidx -noframedrop -dumpstream
"http://ckua.streamon.fm:443/CKUA-44k.ogg"
:fin
---
I got "stream.dump" file .
(NB : I was obliged to use "CTRL + C" to stop the stream .)

But with the below batch file :
---
@echo on
start mplayer.exe -cache 10000 -forceidx -noframedrop -dumpstream
"http://ckua.streamon.fm:443/CKUA-44k.ogg" -dumpfile "essai_CKUA.ogg"
:fin
---
I got "essai_CKUA.ogg" file , with no end , as it is a radio .
(NB : I was obliged to use "CTRL + C" to stop the stream .)

$ mplayer -cache 64 http://ckua.streamon.fm:443/CKUA-44k.ogg

Works fine with -demuxer ogg
(It should also work with -demuxer lavf if you press '#' to switch audio
channel, but that seems broken.)

Please do not hijack threads, Carl Eugen

First of all many thanks to everyone who answered.

So, it seems that you all can play those streames without any problem.
Since I can, too, but only with totem (gstreamer) and ffmpeg (or
ffplay), the only idea I have is that my ISP, or maybe just my router,
applies some sort of filtering that mplayer run across, while gstreamer
and ffmpeg are not affected.

This should mean that mplayer handles RTSP in a slightly different
manner that the other two.

I should mention that also VLC cannot play those streams. Finally, at
work I have no problems at all, nor I had with my previous ISP.

It seems very hard to solve this issue.

Best regards.

No. Noone tried with your MPlayer version, as you did not say which
version you are using.

Downloading the stream indeed works, but neither direct streaming nor
the downloaded file plays, using all default settings. -demuxer ogg
seems to help, though.

Sorry. Had the wrong thread in mind, but it's still true that you did
not mention your MPlayer version.

-demuxer ogg is of course nonsense for .rm

Apologies,
Kiste

Sorry,

my mplayer is SVN-r31918, currently installed by default on Debian
Squeeze from the Debian Multimedia repository.

But I also compiled the version of March 14, with exactly the same
results.

This I can't understand: what does it mean -demuxer ogg? I tried with
this option too, with no changes.

Also, someone said that he could listen to the stream, he even said it
was a little boring because he doesn't speak italian.

Best regards.

Okay, I'll post the complete output for the latest svn. I'll be back in
a few minutes.

That is actually not the main problem.
Complete, uncut output of MPlayer (latest svn) is nearly always required.
(I suspect it would have saved us all from testing ourselves.)

enough, otherwise let me know.

Afaict, this is a problem in your network setup, I get:

But if it's a network setup problem, why can I listen to the same stream
with totem and ffplay? And download it with gstreamer and ffmpeg? Yes,
the network surely matters, but just for mplayer.

Actually, mplayer works perfectly fine at work, where I have exactly the
same system (Debian Squeeze). At work I dind't check the latest svn, but
there's no need, because the official Debian version works.

I think it could be useful a small part of the strace output for the
command line already used in the previous posts. The last line repeats
about 4000 times!
