Right, and I forgot that you should use -v
It will then print you the exact FTP commands and responses.
You might be able to reproduce the issue by typing the exact
same commands MPlayer sends to the server via telnet.
If so this might help to debug and fix any issues the Topfield/NSLU2
might have.
