Current mplayer (mine is mplayer-1.0-pre1cvs20031001) cannot play mms
stream with multibyte characters in the url.
There is a bug in string_utf16() of libmpdemux/asf_mmst_streaming.c:
the url encoding code is written for single-byte character only. It
just fill a zero byte between every two adjacent bytes of the url
string. This is wrong when the url string contains multi-byte
characters.
My patch is in the attachment, and has been tested working. It uses
iconv() to convert the url's encoding to utf-16 correctly. So can this
patch be accepted and commit into CVS?
