[DUG] Play a movie from a stream

[Ben Taylor]

well, from the 2sec i spent looking at it, it installs a custom io-handler to the
mediaplayer, then implements the iorequests using a memorystream.. there's
definately no file-based activity there. yes, you need to set a filename in the
mediaplayer, but thats only used to identify which named-memorystream to use as a
datasource..

  Hi Ben,

yes, found that before too. Works by writing to a temporary file as faras I can tell
by looking at the source code. As I said, I spent half aday scouring the internet.

Has no one done this before?

1min on google found this:
http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/misccomponents.htm"TMediaPlayerMemoryFile allows you
to play wave and AVI memory images using theregular Delphi TMediaPlayer component. 
You can create the memory images on-the-flyor load them from resources."looks like a
nice workaround to the mediaplayer limitation..no idea if it works.. --- Phil
