don't try to save the link.
yea i just tried for a few minutes last night on windows and it streamed fine for a few minutes but i did have to let it buffer a minute. also on the xbox it doesn't work well because it keeps trying to rebuffer no matter how long i let it buffer.
if you play the network stream in vlc it plays ok. i guess you could re-stream from that.
sorry guys. its something in xbmc beyond my knowledge.
I will take a look at stickam and ustream streams of twit and see if those might play better with xbmc. i thought those would make cool plugins anyway

I thoroughly looked into this... The streams coming from Ustream and Stickam refer to a link that expires, while BitGravity seems to be the only one offerring a stream without using an "expired link security scheme". Anytime I fed the BitGravity stream into XBMC, it would simply buffer after a couple of seconds of playing, regardless of how big I adjusted the cache settings. I tried playing it like 7 different ways with no luck. It looks like getting TWiT.tv on TV won't be hapenning in XBMC anytime soon.
