    First thanks for including this great mod into the main trunk. I just need two more now for MP to be my ultimate HTPC solution :D

    On to the suggestion:
    I spent a good two hours the other day trying to make IPTV in the 1.1. alpha work.
    Turns out the problem was in firewall which closed the ports for MP, but (of course) had an exception for WMP. I pulled half my hair out before I finally decided to use my brain instead of blind try/fail loops.:oops:

    Maybe it wouldn't hurt if MP parsed the playlist and reminded the user that they need to add an exception for ports listed in the playlist. Auto adding an exception for TV Server (exe, not ports) at install time might also help :)

    Maybe it also wouldn't hurt if a separate time parameter was added to configuration for tuning the IPTV / radio. Currently one of the other parameters handles this timeout.

    Thoughts?
