the problem is this: 1@qtv.besmella.com:28000
for any given server, guessing a usable stream+host+port is basically impossible. most ktx servers have multiple ports (I think the install script tries to default to 4), which would give it only a 1-in-4 chance of working, and that's only when the port is hardcoded and the host is assumed to be the same one as the server.
iiuc most servers have passwords restricting access to them from any centralised authority, and others enforce stricter limits on qtv streams than they do actual spectators. the only way this could work is as a community effort to get every revevant server updated to to advertise a qtv url that the client could then reliably use.

at the serverbrowser, for qw servers that are on any qtv, it should be possible to spectate via qtv directly. for example pressing the "q" key when the individual (target) server popup is active.
note: i've tried /qtvplay 1@qtv.besmella.com:28000 and it worked fine!
would be neat also to launch fte from windows using qw:// links, like qw://1@qtv.besmella.com:28000/qtvplay
