In this case there is no issue regarding the amount of memory available in the device. The remote file is not entirely downloaded. The application just creates a buffer for storing a certain number of packets, which are discarded as soon as they are combined and displayed as a video frame or audio sample.

That's the point exactly. It did not download the file before playing
it. That's why I said it started playing _right away_. The lights on the
router keep flickering all through playing the video.
Anyway, I'm rebuilding ffmpeg and vlc on the desktop for mythstreamtv
and I'll let you know how it goes.
