HTTP media url?
Hello,
I'm programatically creating EAF files for colleagues to download and work with. I tried creating the MEDIA_DESCRIPTORs with http urls, so that they could access the media over the 'net rather than having to download it. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work; is there a way that I am missing?
For reference, my XML is (... is where the server name + project name were):
<MEDIA_DESCRIPTOR MEDIA_URL="http://.../files/1003_20100805222000.mpg" MIME_TYPE="video/mpeg" RELATIVE_MEDIA_URL="http://.../files/1003_20100805222000.mpg"/>
Thanks
Re: HTTP media url?
Your approach is correct, but this situation is currently not supported. Without having scanned all relevant code, I assume that there is a test on the protocol somewhere and that only "file" and "rtsp" are recognized. Since some player frameworks support http we might as well allow this option as well. As with rtsp the question is whether via http it is possible to annotate accurately (but that would be up to the user then).
