Opening a video stream?

[dcx_badass]

I've never ever managed to get this to work in VLC, in WMP I just do open rul and paste the link and it works, In VLC I do open network, paste the link and click go and it thinks about it then fails, every single time without fail, even when the same link works in WMP.

For example how would I open this in VLC:
http://www.presstv.ir/watch_live5_us.aspx

Fails for me, works in WMP any ideas?

Thanks.
