*
* sgiNameServerHost=host.name.tld
* Obvious: the host hosting this stream
* Stream="xdma://host.name.tld/demo/a_very_cool.mpg"
* Not always present. xdma can be read as RTSP.
* sgiMovieName=/demo/a_very_cool.mpg
* sgiAuxState=1
* The path to the asset
* sgiAuxState=1|2
* AuxState=2 is always Video On Demand (so not Scheduled)
* Not present with Live streams
* sgiLiveFeed=True|False

* Live appears as a little sattelite dish in the web interface of Kasenna
* sgiFormatName=PARTNER_41_MPEG-4
* The type of stream. One of:
* PARTNER_41_MPEG-4 (RTSP MPEG-4 fully compliant)
* MPEG1-Audio (MP3 Audio streams in MPEG TS)
* MPEG-1 (MPEG 1 A/V in MPEG TS)
* MPEG-2 (MPEG 2 A/V in MPEG TS)
* sgiWidth=720

* sgiPacketSize=16384
* The packetsize of the UDP frames that Kasenna sends. They should have used a default
* that is a multiple of 188 (TS frame size). Most networks don't support more than 1500 anyways.
* Also, when you loose a frame of this size, imagecorruption is more likely then with smaller
* frames.
