Streaming QuickTime video may fail on Intel-based Macs

QuickTime Player on Intel-based Macs can sometimes fail to play streaming video. When you try, the stream will appear to be connecting in QuickTime Player, but then it may pause and not begin playback.

NAME
plaympeg - MPEG audio (MP3) and video (MPEG-1) player SYNOPSIS
plaympeg [options] file ... DESCRIPTION
plaympeg is an MPEG audio and video player that uses the SDL MPEG Player Library. It can play back MPEG audio (layer 1, 2 and 3), MPEG video (MPEG-1) and MPEG system (audio and video combined) files. MPEG-2 video files (as found on DVDs) are not supported. The video player works best on a 16 bit color depth X11 display, it works on other color depths with reduced speed as well. You'll need a CPU with 300 MHz or more to play back an MPEG system stream with 25 frames per seconds (fps) at full speed. OPTIONS
--help Show short usage information --noaudio Don't play the audio stream (if available) --novideo Don't play the video stream (if available) --fullscreen Play the MPEG video stream in fullscreen mode (this requires root privileges or a setuid plaympeg binary) -2, --double Play the MPEG video stream at double size -l, --loop Play the stream (audio or video) over and over again -v N, --volume N Set the volume of the audio stream to N% (N in the range of 0 to 100) -s S, --scale S Play the MPEG video stream at S size SEE ALSO
