Xine quicktime stream issue

[Caveman <biocorporation-1@optusnet.com.au>]

Hi,

I have been using the kaffeine-mozilla plugin to play streams in my web 
browser (firefox)
This has been fine tell the otherday, for no apparent reason streams are 
failing to play. Kaffeine just sits there saying "Connecting HTTP Server".

I thought maybe it was a issue with kaffeine, so I installed gxine (i know its 
no longer active) gxine does the same, except that it gives a error about 
plugin (I have quicktime plugins installed).

So I have got it down to this. Xine (and gui frontends) play quicktime files 
FINE. All other streams (apart from quicktime) seem to be fine. 
Tried using the libxine1 from testing (I use unstable) again same issue. 

I am now at a total loss. Anyone have any clues ? or have the same trouble 
even ? 

Thanks
