Can I stream a MP4 file from my network drive?
I'm trying to modify mySimpleVideoPlayer to play local MP4 videos stored on my network drive (WD Passport Drive). The NAS drive is visible from my Win 7 development machine running Eclipse with the BrighScript tool. The drive is attached to my Netgear wireless router USB port.
Is this possible?
The original mySimpleVideoPlayer call is:
'Swap the commented values below to play different video clips...
'urls = ["http://video.ted.com/talks/podcast/CraigVenter_2008_480.mp4"]
'qualities = ["HD"]
'StreamFormat = "mp4"
'title = "Craig Venter Synthetic Life"
'srt = "file://pkg:/source/craigventer.srt"
My modified call is:
'Swap the commented values below to play different video clips...
urls = ["file://READYSHARE/USB_Storage/media/IMG_0081.MOV"]
qualities = ["HD"]
StreamFormat = "mp4"
title = "Test Video"
srt = ""
When I export (side load) the application I receive an invalid URL error in the console window:
Button pressed: 2 0
------ Running ------
Type args = roAssociativeArray
Type args.url = Invalid
showSpringboardScreen
Screen closed
As shown, I substituted "http" with "file" in the URL address. I also changed SRT to an empty string. Is this type of streaming from file supported?
Thanks
