MPlayer fails to recieve and play a .wmv file

[philip]

I am trying to stream a video sequence from a news site (www.dn.se) to MPlayer. But the sequence never start in MPlayer. The MPlayer window remains black.

Since I am a complete newbe to multimedia I have no clue what the messages from MPlayer tell. It seems like the file starts to get downloaded to a caxhe but gets interupted there........

I would be most greatful if someone can give me directions where to look for a solution. Below is the output from the MPlayer console:

Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your

won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
