Examples of user agents:- "NSPlayer/9.0.0.2980" - for Windows Media streams
- "RMA/1.0 (compatible; RealMedia)" - for Real Media streams
- "WinampMPEG/5.0" - for Shoutcast streams...

Thanks for drawing my attention to this post. Because I'm a newbie, I'm afraid I'm not sure how to follow some of this advice:
1. How can I tell whether I'm using a "single thread" if I'm capturing streaming media? Does this mean the same thing as only having one stream capture going on at the same time?
2. I'm not sure what a "user-agent" is. The site I'm talking about has a video "screen" on the web pages themselves, and the videos play right on the page. (The format seems to be .flv.) Is this what you mean by the media streaming through the HTTP protocol? If so, how do I use one of the user agents you suggested, and how do I decide which one I need? Sorry to be so far behind in understanding these things.
