• When using mplayer on Unix, it is sometimes necessary to toggle 'D' twice to start the video.
• Firewalls: in case you are behind a firewall, you may experience trouble. To solve this, in quicktime viewer, goto edit -> preferences -> quicktime preferences. Select streaming transport from the list. Then select "Use this protocol and port ID", then select "Use HTTP, port ID". Use the default port 80 for http transport. This routes the streaming data via the default port for web pages and so most firewalls will not complain.
