It is a combination of things Large corp with security in mind. I
cannot access wmv files via mms from any site that uses any port other
than 80 which is a fallback and both mplayer and xine try it.
This is a head office decision and it is on the other side of the
country. Local admin is the one that basically states it will be a
waste of time. It was where the lottery comment came from. Streaming
media is not needed and allowed and thus blocked.
The support staff for the the one site were very supportive but their
admins removed the ability to download the files via normal http/ftp
requests and in trying to help me, they found this out.
