I'm trying to watch TWiT Live on my N800, but I seem to be hitting a wall. This netcast network streams live on Stickam, ustream and BitGravity. I tried using mplayer and KMPlayer and can't quite get anything to play the stream. I even tried loading the main http://live.twit.tv page and the default browser and Midori try to chew on it, but only got audio to stream.

http://live.twit.tv/
http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high
http://www.stickam.com/leolaporte
http://ustream.tv/channel/leo-laporte-live

Any ideas if there is an application that can support any of these streams?

Well, barring the fact that they are Flash Streams (which can't really be streamed to any player and have to be downloaded before viewing), I can't see any way to do so unless they had an MMSH, HTTP or RTP protocol. That would work in KMPlayer for sure. Check to see if they offer that, but seeing as it's something like that, I think they'd be looking for traffic generated to the site.

Still, doesn't hurt to ask the webmasters that give the streams on the site to be sure.

I can play

http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/low quite easily with VLC on a PC as it's H264 + mp3 in FLv so pretty standard.

Your mplayer should be able to playit.
