    youtube kinda video player, load functionality

    Hi,

    I can't figure out how to achieve something like on youtube. A video is being loaded, you click somewhere in the currently unloaded area, and the movie starts buffering from the clicked point instead of loading the full movie.

    Searched around and found this:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...deo-componnent
    http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/flv-streaming/

    But it sounds complicated and not sure if this has become outdated.

    Or should I look into netstream?

    Anyone who can shed some light on this, how this works and in what direction to search for the solution?

    Thanks!

    This is not true streaming but rather pseudo streaming, where regular web severs can mimic some of the features of true streaming... like seeking to un-downloaded portions of the file:

    Though you may need a dedicated server to install the application on. Be sure to check with you Web host before going to far.
    Best wishes,
