Hello everyone
I'm trying to play some nacional streams and one of them is:

http://wms.velocix.com/ws/06f3060000000000/stream.wpl

But I can't, is there anyway to play it, any missing codec or something?
Thank you all

I just downloaded and opened the .wpl file, which is a playlist metafile that redirects to media streams/media files/other metafiles and I found the actual stream file but again it does not play in the media player. It seems the service is down or does not work for some unknown reason.

The stream's url is
http://212.187.231.2/VXWMS/ws/06f3060000000000/data?MSWMExt=.asf
if you want to try it yourself.

Sorry I'm a really NooB :(
I've never tried to open the wpl...
But I've tried now and the output that I have is

<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
<head>
<meta name="Generator" content="Velocix"/>
<title>playlist</title>
</head>
<body>
<seq>
<media src="rtsp://212.187.212.205/VXWMS/ws/06f3060000000000/data"/>
</seq>
</body>
</smil>

SO where do you find

http://212.187.231.2/VXWMS/ws/06f3060000000000/data?MSWMExt=.asf

Thank you all

I would like to know how do you take that link under a *.WPL I have more links to find and I would like to know how to do it.
Thank you about your Help

I first tried to open the file with Totem but it did not play.
Then I just opened the terminal and downloaded the .wpl file with wget
wget http://wms.velocix.com/ws/06f3060000000000/stream.wpl
and I opened it with the text editor. I saw that it was a SMIL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronized_Multimedia_Integration_Language) file and Totem is supposed to support SMIL files thus the problem has to be somewhere else, i.e. the stream is dead.

Indise the file I saw the following url
rtsp://212.187.231.6/VXWMS/ws/06f3060000000000/data

I also downloaded this file, i.e.
wget http://212.187.231.6/VXWMS/ws/06f3060000000000/data

and after I opened it with the text editor I found the actual url of the stream.

I tried it in Totem but again it didn't play.

The thing is that I did the above just to make sure that the problem is in the stream and not Totem, i.e. if Totem had a problem handling the .wpl file because it cannot to read such files (actually it can) or because the file was malformed.

Thus, after doing the above I found that there is a problem with the stream. The stream is down or for some unknown reason it does not give a response to Totem or something else.

Did you manage to play the stream? What media player do you use?

Great how to...
I'm a windows user and never remind me to edit the files.
Thank you so much. That is a great help.
