I think this question has been touched on from various angles in past posts, but what I'd like to know is:
- Can GBPVR, and/or MyVideo (currently) play media (such as wmv) from a URL? i.e., http://my.domain.com/myfile.wmv and buffer-play this content, just as windows media player would (i.e., begin downloading and play as soon as enough buffered content has been downloaded)?
- or, can it accept such a metafile (.asx, .wvx, etc) as a file input, which contains an href to such a file as above?
Reasoning: I'd like to throw my content on an http server, and buffer-play my media.
I've tried creating regular wvx and asx files (added those extensions to the suffix.xml as video), as well as adding url's to standard playlists without success....yet some of the posts elude to the idea that buffer-play of supported formats (such as wmv) is possible.
Any ideas, thoughts, hacks, or plans?
