Trouble playing live online feeds on WDTV Live

I'm having trouble playing live online feeds on my WDTV Live Streaming media player. In particular, these are feeds from Hockeystreams.com, so I'm able to get the URLs with no problem. I can also see all of the scheduled content on my WDTV. However, when I go to play a feed, my WDTV tells me that the media type is not supported. I suspect this is a problem with my WDTV profile, which follows below. I'm also using the LiveFeeds plugin.

Is anyone using a WDTV profile with success for live feeds? And if so, could you kindly share your profile? Many thanks for any insight!

  Code:
   <Profile id="14" name="WDTV Live" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
            <ModelName>WD TV HD Live</ModelName>
         </UPnPSearch>
      </Detection>
      <ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.PacketVideoDLNAMessageBuilder</ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>
      <ProtocolInfo>simple</ProtocolInfo>
      <Transcoding>
         <Video targetContainer="mpeg">
            <Matches container="wtv" />
         </Video>
         <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
            <Matches container="flv" /> <!-- this is used by online content, assuming WDTV cannot play local flv either -->
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" />
            <Matches container="rm" />
         </Video>
         </Transcoding>

         <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
            <Matches container="mp4" />
<Matches container="flv" />
            <Matches container="asf" /> <!-- for mms:// -->
         </Video>
      </OnlineTranscoding>   
      <Subtitles>
         <SoftSubs mime-type="text/srt" />

If this is the same problem that just got solved in another thread, the solution is to remove the following line from the profile:
