[nas] mplayer and NAS

[Darren]

Hi all,

I finally have my NAS server setup under Windows with cygnus with the options

$ nasd -aa -pn -v

On the client side I am running Linux, SLC 4 and I have verified that
the NAS works, as I setup xmms-nas which worked wonders, I was very
impressed to finally hear network audio cross platform.  Good job !

However I can't get mplayer working, which was the whole reason for
configuring NAS.  I am using MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.2.3.  I am testing
mplayer first of all by just playing a simple mp3, and not a video
file.

Does mplayer need to be recompiled to get NAS to work with it ?  I
don't understand why the -ao nas option does'nt work.

Lastly, it would be nice to see some updates on the webpage for how to
configure different clients under more upto date Linux distributions.
