I've been trying to get BBC Radio 4 working in MythStream. I've
installed RealPlayer and ethereal and got the rtsp URL as per the
instructions at
http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:Mp65gFdh6MAJ:mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php%3Fp%3D20239%26+mythstream&hl=en&start=8&lr=lang_en

RealPlayer on my linux box can play this URL correctly -
rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk:554/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4lw_dsat_g2_1.ra
- but when I try to play it in mplayer, as a test before putting it
into streams.res, I get this output which looks like it's looking for
some Windows codecs (sorry for the long cut & paste) :

Does anyone know what I need to do to get this to work? My wife really
wants BBC Radio 4 so this is an important WAF issue!

Thanks,
