Well I tried videolan client, xine and mplayer but none would work. I
didn't get any messages from any of the links.
mplayer mms://trog.ni.com/ni/webevents/lv/lv_datastorage_fast.wmv
xine mms://trog.ni.com/ni/webevents/lv/lv_datastorage_fast.wmv
Now I don't know if I have an issue with firewalls or serverside
restrictions. At least xine gave me a message that xine failed to
open the mrl.
More testing.
