How do you setup Mediaplayer 11 so it streams videos from the internet?
I can't get it to work :mad:

I'm not sure but I though it was how the file was set up on the Internet, not how you receive it. It was either downloadable or streaming.
Just did a Google on streaming video and came up with as I thought
Download is a simple HTTP protocol that downloads the file before you can watch.
Streaming -
'Streaming media works a bit differently — the end user can start watching the file almost as soon as it begins downloading. In effect, the file is sent to the user in a (more or less) constant stream, and the user watches it as it arrives. The obvious advantage with this method is that no waiting is involved. Streaming media has additional advantages such as being able to broadcast live events (sometimes referred to as a webcast or netcast).
True streaming video must be delivered from a specialized streaming server.'
So it looks like it depends on where the video file is stored and sever access type.
Edit - Here's the link I got that from - Creating streaming video (http://www.mediacollege.com/video/streaming/overview.html)
