What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load VLC
2. Go Media > Open File
3. Put in URL to media stream

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Play the media.

Suspect the problem is the query string is been ignored by VLC (have to 
look into it). Currently it causes a null reference expection which I 
suspect is due to a lack of query data so there is a problem with the 
TimeShifting module.

At least want to stop the null reference exception so it doesn't crash the 
TvServer.

Changes to the Timeshifting module have stopped the crashes though VLC locks up when 
trying to connect.

It seems VLC only tries once when trying to open a file (understandably) and for 
some reason the webserver drops the first connection which means VLC can't connect.

I suspect if the connection issue is resolved then that will take care of the VLC 
problem also.

On a side note the crashing of the TvServer is fixed for the next release.
