How can I play the stream I have set to broadcast in Me TV?

First, you need to set the broadcast settings in Me TV. Go to the preferences window and set the broadcast address and port. You can set the address to 127.0.0.1 to test it on the local computer. Digital television requires a lot of data so I recommend at least a 100 Mbit network.

Then use `xine udp://127.0.0.1:2005` to receive the stream.
