Hi Alan,

Try this instead:

mplayer -playlist
http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/avdb/news/world/video/98000/bb/98711_16x9_bb.ram


Alternatively, download the ram file:
wget http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/avdb/news/world/video/98000/bb/98711_16x9_bb.ram
And try mplayer'ing the filename inside it:

mplayer rtsp://rmgeo.bbc.net.uk/news/media_acl/mps/fix/news/world/video/98000/bb/98711_16x9_bb.rm
