Using the following allows SMPlayer and Slinger Player to work. (VLC worked with the previous parameters and 4.0 Slinger server.

VideoParameters: Resolution= 12 FrameRate= 60 VideoBandwidth= 6000 VideoSmoothness= 50 IframeRate= 5 AudioBitRate= 96

Looks like the timeout I picked to detect an unresponsive Slingbox was too short.

We can close with the lastest push. I wanted to document that the issue was source equipment that goes to sleep with no video output. This needed the extra time to start. We may want to add auto "POWER" command if this occurs. The old slingplayer client detected this condition and prompted asking to send power on.
