(i.e. >it times out) It turns out that the streamworks player - unlike "vat" and most other MBone tools - doesn't accept group address/port arguments on the command line. (This is true for the Windows 95 version, at least.) Instead, you have to write this information into a file, and then launch "swplayer" with this filename as argument: E.g., create a file "kissfm.ply" Write to this file the single line: stream=xdma://224.42.42.4:8153/ (substitute the actual group address:port if different) Then run: swplayer kissfm.ply (Thanks to the folks at Telecom Finland for telling me about this.)
