Try this. It runs:
mplayer.exe -quiet -identify -slave -loop 0 stream.dump
-> This program assumes that stream.dump, mplayer.exe and the program 
istelf are in the same directory. Please adapt the paths to match your 
setup.

This means that your stream.dump is played in an endless loop. Every 
time it starts, some informations about the file is printed (-identify).
After the end has reached and the video begins again, the length of the 
file is read from theses informations and the program jumps to the 
position [streamLength - 3s]. Let's hope the informations about the 
stream length are correct...

Do you have a JDK installed? Do you know what that is?
You can compile the program by typing "javac MPlayerTV.java" and run id 
with "java MPlayerTV". I can send you an exe if you can't do that...

Hope that works...
