Also, when I tried playing one of the PBS Nature streams, the audio came through fine, but the video was terrible. The picture would update like once per 20 seconds or so. It seemed to be freezing media player up because it took a long time before I was able to exit out of it (let alone from fullscreen mode).

Edit: I forgot to ask where the comedy central streams are listed under?

Edit2: How do I get the streams to play under mplayer instead?

Edit3: Today Show streams give me about 1fps or less.
You copy both primary3.db and myvideos.db? Sometimes maybe dl problem, re-install VideoCenter may help.

Edit2:...
VC>Tools>Settings...>Player>External>//usr/bin/mplayer -cache 4096 %s

If that does NOT work, you will have to look around to find the path of your mplayer. Some people have it on //usr/sbin/mplayer.....

Edit3:....
Some stations are streaming better than the other. CBS Katie Couric is the best so far, under mplayer .27. and PBS NOVA is wide screen. You just to experiment.

I took comedy central out, as they are absolutely NOT streaming, ..., not sure why, still working on it
