[vdr] streamig with mplayer?

[a.schinkel@vosschemie.de]

hi people!

got 2 questions today :-) 

1st thing is: i want to stream some radio over the lan. i chose a
radiostation, push streaming in the menu... 
if i point mplayer to the stream "mplayer -vo null rtp://224.0.1.2:5002" it
fills it cache and aborts with "stream doesnīt contain video data" or
something like that (which is in fact true but i just want to hear the
sound). if i point freeamp or mplay to that url, i can hear the stream, but
there are short gaps inbetween, like there seems to be something else in
it.. the same thing is, if i record the stream on harddisc and try to play
the vdr file, it plays but with gaps.. sounds terrible. same thing with
different stations.. maybe i configured something wrong?!

2nd thing seems to be more an mplayer problem but itīs worth a try here..
sometimes while watching streamed video from vdr, mplayer exits with "socket
error".. if i try to restart,, it still says socket error.. i have to wait 2
minutes (some time) and restart, mostly it plays then. any idea why this
happens?

regards,
andy
