Not exactly.  You're trying to play the stream from 
myth://Videos@ip_address:6543/Movie_name.avi, which is MythTV's internal 
URI for content streamed from the backend to the frontend over the 
internal protocol.  This protocol has always exists since the beginning 
of MythTV, and used to drive recordings across the backend/frontend 
split.  MythTV 0.22 added the ability to use this protocol for more than 
just recordings, and allows you access your video library remotely 
without having to mount the content over NFS.  It is part of the shift 
to allowing for configuration-free frontends to be added.
