I have been using VLC to play two bitgravity streams for Twit.tv. I have the stream URL appended to VLC URL:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high
Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high'. Check the log for details.
Since installing 2.0.2 I am getting the following error yet the stream eventually plays. Shutting down Windows Firewall does nothing.
