Sorry, but my Hungarian is non-existant. Either re-emerge mplayer with LINGUAS="en" or provide a translation.
as I have LINGUAS="hu en_GB en" I suppose mplayer not to support LINGUAS setting.

(In reply to comment #2) > as I have LINGUAS="hu en_GB en" I suppose mplayer not to support LINGUAS > setting. Providing a translation: It will use the very first value of LINGUAS, whatever it is. If you dislike this lack of proper gettext support, voice you concerns upstream.
This is because the file you give to mplayer is a playlist file that references itself as first entry. This works with the windows media player since it only needs to support its own crap, but is not easily fixable in MPlayer. Use "mms://" or "mmshttp://" instead of "http://" and it will play.
Closing wrt the above comment.
(In reply to comment #4) As it is possible to do some workaround on the command line, the above media (with the above URL) is a part of a webpage, so the workaround wouldn't help this way. So I'd like a real solution also. At this location: http://www.mtv.hu/videotar/?id=16656
mplayerplug-in or whatever can parse the playlist and fix it. It does know that it is supposed to emulate Windows Media Player and thus http:// actually means mms over http. MPlayer can _not_ know that (it can know for asx playlists and there the substitution is done, but not for this common .ini format). In this special case loop detection would not be too hard but in the general case that would be a lot of messy code and still not work usually. If you do not care about proper HTML streaming, -user-agent NSPlayer/4.1.0.3856 is a fixes it as well.
anyways this media cannot be played as a part of the mentioned website, I still consider this as a bug, have a look at it please.
(In reply to comment #8) Wrong place for this, if you dislike it then take your complaints upstream.
