Hi Erez The audio format that you mention is weird. I don't know what you can do with that. The reason you can't do fast forward is because there is no index. Usually, mplayer allows you to do that if it has index. If you have downloaded the movie to your pc, you need to run the following

Hi Erez, You'll need the codec package to install on your machine (I think it should sit in /usr/lib/codecs or something), and then you could play the stream. If I'm not mistaken, both Xine and VLC works with WMV 9 files without a problem and have MMS support. Thanks, Hetz On Dec 15, 2007 5:17

ok, just to make it clear although using MSIE (which uses Windows Media Player internally) i can jump forward, backward and so, and also if i stream with Windows media player. if i download the file first, and then use the same player (Windows Media Player) on the local file, i can not jump

Hmm, and Xine? Xine is using the codecs exactly as mplayer uses, but I don't think there's an issue of xine 64 or xine 32, but I'm not sure about this. Thanks, Hetz On Dec 15, 2007 8:07 PM, Erez D [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ok, it was a 64bit problem ... w64codecs are a joke, it doesnt include
