First check if the plugin is working correctly. Copy a VDR-recording to your
M$ Windoze-machine or use a ftp-directory and replay with M$ MediaPlayer.
Then you should try VDR-1.0.4 with Streaming-patch (included in AIO). I've
had a working setup about 6 or 7 month ago, but it was very tricky, so I
didn't use it anymore.

Currently I'm watching the development of the streaming-plugin for VDR.1.1.x
and will do first tests in the next days (maybe weekend when I've back my
full-featured card).
