With the ASX below, you have your "protocol" part wrong. If you're
getting the video off a "Hard Drive" rather than a streaming server,
then it should read file:/// not rtsp://
It's listed here that Mac mediaplayer 9 can play ASX playlists
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/software/macintosh/osx/default.aspx
If changing to the file:/// protocol doesn't help, you're probably
seeing a permissions issue.
As a side issue, I noticed yesterday using a local web page, the media
player wouldn't play any WMV files off the hard drive, saying it
couldn't find the file (with my network cable disconnected).
Safari *should* have read the relative file path (same directory) and
worked, because the source files were in the same internet domain
(local zone) but Safari is a little odd like that.
When I loaded it as a web page from apache (http://127.0.0.1) and
changed the URLs to http://127.0.0.1 in the web page, it loaded the
video fine.
Go figure (there's probably an obvious explanation for this)
Cheers - Neil
