Attempting to play that URL (http://205.188.234.33:8034/) with the
current test-play version of MPlayer-G2 results in a cascade of
try-and-fail with various demuxers, including one labeled [nsv]. It
eventually identifies it as "[mpeg] MPEG TS/PS/PES/ES Audio and/or
Video", but doesn't play anything.

For me, trying to play that URL in MPlayer itself (yesterday's CVS)
results in a crash. This is the second crash I've noticed in the past
few days; I suppose I should assemble bug reports...
