    I just started to use WiiMC. It is great.
    Found one issue when playing live video stream. This is a live Chinese TV video stream from
    http://cnwf01tve001cdn.smgbb.tv/channels/220/400.flv/live

    The strange thing is it always stops at around 8 minutes. So I need to open the same stream again every 8 minutes. Just wonder if there is any option I can set to reopen the stream automatically or just like play the music, I can repeat to play the same video stream if it is closed.

    I tried to play this stream with MplayerCE, it does continues play but the sound always broken so I need to re-sync the sound by disable/re-enable the sound stream. I also tried xbmc player and mplayer (Using MPlayer SVN r30369) on PC, both could play it continuously without problem.

    Any suggestion or help I can get?

    Thanks for this great player on Wii.

    Seems it is the server close the connection and I could not figure out how to let mplayer automatically re-open the stream if the connection is closed (MplayerCE and XBMC was able to handle this issue). For a workaround, I modify the wiimc to re-open the stream with AutoPlayNext on and the PlayOrder set to loop. WiiMC will show buffering instead of exiting the player back to the playlist. An ideal solution will be for the mplayer try to re-open the stream couple of times before exit.
    Thanks again for this awesome application and allow us to to the customization.
