What version of gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer are you using?

Why don't you just open the location directly in gnome-mplayer?
File -> Open Location and paste the url to the media in there.

I'm currently using gnome-mplayer 1.0.2 and gecko-mplayer 1.0.0 on xubuntu
11.04.
The thing is, I'm working on a digital signage project, where we deliver
content as HTML, with embedded videos. These are player from local files to
reduce network load.

Can you upgrade to version 1.0.4 of both?

I updated to 1.0.4, but the problem still remains.
I fixed the IceCast issue, simply by checking if item->src starts with
"file://". I will attach a patch against trunk soon.
However, still can't figure out how I could disable caching in a similar way.
Especially since the data seems to come via the NSPlugin.

The problem with IceCast detection is, that the stream is first played-back
form a cache-file. Sometime later (in my case after ~10seconds) it is
recognized as an IceCast stream and playback is tried directly ( with the
effect that the cache-file is not filled any more). However for open_location
the stream is already opened and it does nothing at all.
I have attached the console output.

I have updated the patch.
I checks if the item->src starts with "file://" and if so opens it directly
(before the IceCast check). Does this seem reasonable to you?

So I read over the patch, and I don't see why you have a separate if block. Can
you just add
g_strstr_len(item->src,7,"file://") != NULL to the original if block? or is
there some other change I am not noticing?

Honestly, I did not try before. I have now just added it as another option, and
it seems to work fine.
I didn't do it in the first place, because it seemed more readable to me
(especcialy with the "Got IceCast Stream, let mplayer stream it" bit.
