ERROR: stdout streaming isn't supported for mms streams

[Dan Bolser]

Hi all,

I'm trying to stream a prog from radio 4 (because the iPlayer sucks
CPU on my ageing laptop, causing all kinds of problems). Here is my
invocation:

./get_iplayer --stream --type=radio --pid=b015p8c0 | mplayer -cache 128 -


and here is what I get:

Is this a fundamental problem, or is there some setting that I haven't
figured out yet? Reading here:

Thanks for the excellent software, and thanks for any help,
