Ok think I have got to the bottom of this. It seems to be the new Safari 4. I
had to do a clean install on the laptop, using an older version of Leopard, and
it CyTV worked perfectly. Updated OS X and was right back where I was
previously. The good news is that I have found a Firefox plug-in which works
like a dream. If anyone else has the same problem go to
http://andrew.tj.id.au/projects/bonjourfoxy/ Download and installation are
perfectly straightforward and now I can bask in the glow of my recovering
sanity. Safari may not actually be the fundamental cause of the problem but I
don't really care, I've got CyTV streaming again and that's good enough for me.

BT Hub router froze, and I had to do a factory reset. OK serves me right for
having such a pile of poo in the first place but since then I haven't been able
to get CyTV to work properly. I can connect to Bonjour, see all the recordings
but play nothing. All I get is the dreaded "No Video". What makes it really
curious is that if I change channels on the client, in this case my Macbook, it
changes on the server (G5). I've tried uninstalling and re-installing
everything I can think of: CyTV itself; Safari; VLC plug-in. I've tried every
possible setting, done port forwarding on the router, checked that it's allowed
in the System Prefs Firewall. My gut feeling is that it's the router, which is
particularly clumsy and convoluted to configure, as anyone else unfortunate to
have one would, I feel certain, agree, and the sooner the BT contract runs out,
the better.

Surely if it was a network issue then that wouldn't happen. My only other guess
is that it's something to do with Safari 4, but that's on both machines.
