Local HTTP Stream

[zinger5]

Hi all,

Got my A100 delivered two days ago and have been loving it so far.

I decided to try and see if i could knock up a MSP to playback local HTTP streams such as those used in Sopcast, TVUPlayer, etc

I've managed to get a (very) basic looking page to load up with the links to the streams but am having no luck with either a msp:video or msp:vodcast tag.
If I use msp:video it stays buffering for ages (not left it longer than 30mins yet but will try later just in case) whilst using msp:vodcast appears to hang the A100 completely (requiring a Power + Eject reset).

To test my setup was otherwise OK i tried linking to a video file on the web (avi file on my work site) which played fine, although it did buffer for a very long time and appeared as though it might have actually downloaded the entire file before playing. If so, perhaps this explains why the HTTP streams never start to play - since are a constant stream.

Is there any other MSP Tag for calling streams? Or could we produce one for this purpose?

zinger5,

You can't do this with local HTTP stream from broadcast feed like Sopcast, TVUPlayer or etc..
