You can give the beta1 a shot.
A debug log on pastebin would give clues to help you.

The log is pretty clear, looks like you can't play any video, not only internet streams. There are two possibilities:
- DirectX is not properly installed (most likely, as it looks like the shader compiler is not installed). Get the latest (June 2010 I think) web install, if that fails try the full redist setup.
- Your hardware doesn't support Pixel Shaders 2.0. You're out of luck, unless you try the beta, which has a software render mode.
There also is some weirdness in the stream codec detection. I don't know how the plugin works, but the first try fails, the second appears to succeed and detect H264.
