Hi Lugies,

what is the command-line i have to give for playing streaming audio / video
from live streaming server.

i gave:

mplayer <url:port>

but it didnot work

can anyone help.

I had sent a tip on this.

The short answer is this:

$ mplayer -cache 8192 http://mp3.streampower.be/radio1-mid.mp3

You can also create a hackish radio station with mplayer and nc. It is here:
