I wanted Windows Media-Player 9 to open the following location:
http://video:3000/8
After a few minutes I got tired of waiting for the Media Player to 
connect so I simply ended the process. I also let it run for more than 
15 minutes and it did not connect.
Network traffic on the VDR box never goes above 400kbit/s the entire 
time (according to iptraf).
And... sometimes I get an Unkown Picture Type (4 or 6) error. This is 
the *first* time that it ever showed up on my machine :-(.
VDR has 15-20% CPU usage on my 900Mhz Duron when I try to connect with 
the Media-Player. When I stop trying, it goes down to 8%.

I tried something funny...
I open Mozilla and typed in the exact same location from above.
It started downloading the file 8.mpeg. After a few seconds I restarted 
vdr so that Mozilla would write the data to the disk. (If I canceled 
dowloading the stream, Mozilla would dump the download.)
I then used the Media-Player to play the downloaded file and it worked 
:P. It was a bit choppy at the beginning but got clear after 2 seconds...

Any ideas on why Media-Player does not accept the stream directly but 
plays it after it has been downloaded?

 André.
