Unofficial Vatican TV Player for Linux: How to see the last days of BXVI as Pontiff in Linux

Given the important events happening today on the Vatican State, and the difficulty of watching the Vatican player on Linux (Silverlight version not compatible with moonlight), I'm building a simpler version that runs on a somewhat standard Linux distribution (Requires Moonlight and possibly the media codecs).

See how to install Moonlight

Right now it only plays the live signal of the CTV(You have to press play twice, seeing the pause symbol on the play button), but I plan to add the archives as well. Please let me know of any inconveniences, or if a better solution exists.
