As I reported, that connected but displayed "X11 errors" instead of video. I
did hear sound. However, I have now succeeded with:
mplayer mms://70.61.148.132/WXOD/WCT%2018120.WMV?MSWMExt=.asf -dumpstream -dumpfile output.asf
In my original post, I had failed with the http version of this command. I
just found that the above mms command generates some errors but does save the
stream to an ASF file. Mplayer plays the saved file correctly.

Yes, I can reproduce that. I now find that just eliminating the first
option (-wid 0x1201a26), and also switching http to mms, is sufficient to
have it play. I guess this must be a problem with MPlayer-Plugin.
Thanks to both of you.
