need help with an asf stream

[n.p.]

Not too many sites are still using that.

The url is:

http://streamer3.carnation.hu/mtvod2...opdalinket.wmv

I am trying

$ mplayer -dumpstream http://streamer3.carnation.hu/mtvod2/eurovizio/2012/01/28/adal_20120128_nelopdalinket.wmv -dumpfile /local/path/to/file.wmv

I just get (endlessly repeated):

Playing http://streamer3.carnation.hu/mtvod2/eurovizio/2012/01/28/adal_20120128_nelopdalinket.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf.

Any ideas on what is happening (and solutions of course )?

Thank you.

Seems like that would work, but I don't have any access to Windows. Is there a solution that works on Linux?

mPlayer will do the job.
Use the mmsh feed.
Like this:-

mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile adal_20120128_nelopdalinket.wmv mmsh://streamer3.carnation.hu/mtvod2/eurovizio/2012/01/28/adal_20120128_nelopdalinket.wmv

That worked! Thanks.

I had never heard of mmsh before (and it isn't even in the mplayer man page).

I figured there would be a simple solution. Thanks again.
