Live FLV Streaming...

I have been using a different player (flowplayer) for a live flv stream (its encoded from a live source via VLC and turned into a live FLV Stream) and it plays fine and I have tried to start using jwplayer (as it has quite a few nice options which flowplayer hasn't) but I have found a little problem

but it seems it will not start automaticlly at times or just stop randomly if I press play again it will start again and a while later will just stop.

Or the audio will start and the video will just show the play icon

The example is here: http://www.bcast.co.nz/v/492/alt-tv-live.html

which uses:

so.addVariable('file','http://60.234.80.250:8081/stream.flv'); for access the stream.

Anyone have any ideas?

please see the flashvars page - *http://code.jeroenwijering.com/trac/wiki/FlashVars*
in particular bc.. *file* (undefined): location of the mediafile or playlist to play.
*type* (undefined): type of file, can be sound, image, video, youtube, camera, http or rtmp. Use this to override auto-detection.
*streamer *(undefined): location of a server to use for streaming. Can be an RTMP application (here's an example - http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard&example=4 ) or external PHP/ASP file to use for HTTP streaming.- http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=HTTP_Video_Streaming
If set to lighttpd, the player presumes a Lighttpd server is used to stream videos.

Yes I've tried many different versions of those

so.addVariable('file','http://60.234.80.250:8081/stream.flv'); makes it start ok
just it doesn't start properly all the time.. sound plays correctly most of the time and the icon in the middle of the stream just stays there and you have to click start (with autoplay turned on) to start the audio.

I set type=http and it made no difference
and when I tried streamer.. it didn't even start playing..
