AVPro QuickTime Plugin : StartFromURL works?
Hi,
did anyone manage to get this function by the plugin to work? the example given was using a local path as the url and of course, it works. however, i need to stream the video from a remote url and it resulted in "movie failed to load" error. what does the plugin expect if i need to stream from a remote location? i understand that this function is a beta version. but still, i need to know if it works in version 2.0/2.2. (renderheads contact email provided in their documentation and website resulted in a rebound when i sent them an email, so im posting my question here)
thank you.

Hi, please try the latest demo on our website as we've recently improved the streaming in version 2.2. It's still in 'beta' though until we're confident it's stable.
It should be able to stream audio (.PLS) and videos (mp4/mov). Videos however need to be authored with 'fast start' option enabled in the encoder.
