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.)
Ross.
