So that at least explains why I couldn't bring up that particular session. I'm not sure if that incident correlates in any way with my complete inability to use IPTV 3.2 on my XP machine w/SDP, that was just the series of events. I'm going to install IPTV on a Win2k client to see if I can reproduce the application problem.

Michael,

The streams at on-the-i are isma-encoded mpeg-4. IP/TV 3.2
doesn't support ISMA encoding. It uses the windows media
architectures implementation which is not interoperable.
