Try it out with normal VLC. If that doesn't work then it wont work in Tundra either. Your next option then would be to make a web page that has the streamed video somehow playing, then make a EC_WebView that points to that page, then set render fps to 25. Also set the EC_WebView size as small as you can (eg. just the video size). This will help keep performance good even with 25 fps rendering rate. A full image blit from big web pages are very expensive.
