[Bug 501196] Re: player won't play bbc radio listen again programmes

[Tommy Trussell]

Hi -- I just saw your reported bug about mplayer and I tried opening the
url in a terminal as you specified:

$ mplayer
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk:554/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_tuesday_1656.ra

and it works on my machine. (Funny -- I was looking at bugs like yours
because mplayer crashes on this machine when I click the icon. But now I
believe I know why.)

There are other packages that are installed at the same time as mplayer
that could have caused the crash. I would suggest you might try
reinstalling mplayer and/or make sure it has what it needs to decode
RealAudio streams.

I briefly had the Medibuntu repository on this system and it could be
that an updated package came from there. You might have a look at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and see if you want to try
using it.

(By the way, the earlier comments about your bug report were because you
accidentally collected data for the terminal program itself and not the
mplayer program. If you open mplayer and use System Monitor you can find
the process ID of mplayer while it is running. Then you can use apport-
bug <ID> to collect the data from mplayer. Some Ubuntu-supported apps
include a "Report a Problem" item in the Help menu that does the
collection in one step, but neither mplayer nor gnome-mplayer does.)
