QT Player Challenge - Play Remote Movie

[Mark Smith]

Just did it here, on Mac  10.4.9 (G4 Powerbook), WiFi.

1st time (player named "Tutorial") I got spinning deathball and no  
video. (forced quit to get out of it).
2nd time (didn't name player, referenced "player 1"), all was fine
3rd time (player named "Tutorial") all was fine.

Best,

Mark
