I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything with my searches.
If you haven't heard of everyshowsucks.com, it's a site that constantly streams a bunch of different TV shows using WinAmp. Now for Mac, there is a beta of WinAmp for OS 9 that doesn't show the video, iTunes can only stream the audio, same with mPlayer. I'd like to find an app that works in Classic so I can use my G3's personality card to mirror it to my TV, but if not that's ok. I just want some sort of app that can view the video part of the stream too. The streams are in a .pls file.

PLS is a playlist format. If you download the file, you can open it in TextEdit and it will have a line that says "File1=" followed by the URL of the video. I just tested and opening the URL works fine in both mPlayer and VLC.

Okay, but both of those are only for OS X. Is there something for OS 9 that will allow me to view the video feed?

I doubt there is, since it's using (I believe) a fairly new video codec and OS 9 is a fairly old operating system. Sorry.
