However, it can now open rtsp:// URLs: mplayer rtsp:// <servername> / <filename> To see details of the complete RTSP protocol exchange, add the -V verbose option. Alternatively, using a sdp:// pseudo-URL, MPlayer can read a SDP file that describes a RTP session: mplayer sdp:// <SDP-filename> SDP files are usually used only for playing multicast RTP sessions. Audio/Video synchronization MPlayers A-V: display at the bottom of the console window shows the current time difference in seconds between the audio and video streams.
Sometimes, however, MPlayers default synchronization mechanism can be slow to respond. If you need to make it respond more aggressively, try adding the option -mc 10 MPlayers principal author has also written an informative article that discusses techniques for tuning the performance of MPlayer. Streaming over TCP By default, incoming data RTP and RTCP packets are streamed using UDP. If, however, you have a broken Internet connection that for whatever reason does not pass incoming UDP packets, then you can ask that the incoming data be streamed over TCP instead.
Of course, because MPlayer is a receive-only application, you can listen in on such sessions - but you wont be able to talk back. For two-way communication on a SIP session, you should instead use a dedicated SIP softphone application, such as linphone .
COM Streaming Media libraries do not support RealAudio and/or RealVideo streams - even those described by a rtsp:// URL - because these streams do not use RTP for transport. Recently, however, MPlayer was updated so that it can play RealAudio/RealVideo rtsp:// streams.
