Right, I went to the url and installed jw player, and then accessed a
channel with the android app and looking in the livetv folder there is the
usual zero byte file and then the stream file appears not long after.  It
doesnt appear in the live streaming list until I goto select livetv from
the drop down and list files, then select the mpg and Add Stream, which
then (after I refresh the page a few times) shows me the stream I can click
on and play, and also there are a LOT of small ts files being made in the
recordings folder.  I guess they are to stream to the android?  They are
named like 1072_20120821132706.mpg.480x272_800kV_64kA.ao_32kA.000027.  well
anyway it's still not working :(
