help playing stream

I can't seem to get a video to stream through TVersity. I used the Simple Video example and put the TVeristy link in there and it wasn't working. I did successfully pull up the jpg on my network through TVersity though.

I had set TVersity up to transcode to WMV and tried playing a Youtube video. Not only does it not play, it reboots my Roku.

I just gave up on the TVersity solution.. It seems it is taking the stream from the XM player and writing the conversion to a file. When I connect to the "tversity" feed I always go to the beginning of the file - instead of the real time feed. Thee seems to be a huge amount of I/O as well - the disk light is lite up on my quad core PC and cpu is all over the place.

Well - back to square one....

The XMPlayer feed appears to be wma. Using the NPR example - when I try to connect to the stream, nothing plays.

Function CreateGdSongList() as Object
aa = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
aa.posteritems = CreateObject("roArray", 10, true)
song = CreateSong("GD","Live XM Radio Stream","Grateful Dead", "mp3", "http://192.168.1.98:19081/streams/57/high","http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kFK17fWz8Ts/R5fB090pTEI/AAAAAAAAAC4/WNdywVeBQ9A/s400/grateful_dead-steal_your_face-sailfastchicago.jpg")
aa.posteritems.push(song)
return aa
End Function

When I change the 4th parameter in the CreateSong object to "wma" - the XMPlayer app crashes when the Roku connects to the stream.

Has anyone been able to play a stream from the XMPlayer App via the Roku??
