Yep. If you can't do it with either vlc or mplayer, then it's likely going to require some actual writing of code to impliment somebody's halfwitted home-made streaming protocol. When you get to the web page and get it playing, look at the page source for hints as to the actual streaming protocol and URL for the stream. If you're lucky, somewhere amongs the HTML, there's a URL that you can hand to vlc or mplayer, and it will "just work". If that doesn't work, you can use wireshark to try to spot the streaming connection getting started up when you click "play". If it's flash, I don't know what you do other than curse at Adobe and the web page developer... -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
