Help with streaming live Greek Tv

Thank you in advance for any help you can give. I've got Serviio running on a quad-core Ubuntu with 32 gig RAM. I've successfully streamed some live tv through Serviio to my Sony Bravia, but I can't seem to get this one channel to work.

I found the content on a website has a flash player which streams beautiflly: http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1044356/events/2098315

I've used URL Snooper to pick out the following URL which appears to be the source: http://livestream-f.akamaihd.net/1044356_2098315_5ff3f491_1_596@9851

The stream works for about 10 to 15 seconds, but then stops. I read something about HLS, but am not sure that this is what's being fed. Can anyone help out or point me in a direction so I can get this working?

I also snooped a link to a file that contained this:

  Code:
<smil xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/Language">
<head>
<meta name="title" content="1044356_2098315_5ff3f491_1"/>
<meta name="httpBase" content="http://livestream-f.akamaihd.net/"/>
</head>
<body>
<switch id="1044356_2098315_5ff3f491_1">
<video src="1044356_2098315_5ff3f491_1_596@9851" system-bitrate="596000"/>
</switch>
</body>
</smil>


Again, much appreciated.

It's possible there is swf verification in place on that stream. You'd have to build a URl that includes it. I think there is some info on the wiki.
