Hmmm. It seems that not all .ts files (?AKA .MP2T files) are the same. The files in the
stream I tested my solution on, play in VLC (2.1.5) (try
this one, for example), but when I tried the same with some of the files linked to by anctop, VLC would not play them. I noticed, in a hex editor, that there are some differences between them in their header blocks, but I don't know what the differences mean.
(I have just updated to ver 2.2.0 of VLC, and same behaviour!)
So, while my solution works for downloading the files, you may need to hunt around for a player that will play the particular version of .TS files used in your stream. Anctop, did you ever find such a player?
