i've made access to the files as open as possible.
i've tried from multiple computers. i go to my friends place and try every laptop computer i get my hands on. i try every browser they use, safari, mozilla, IE. also several different players, quicktime, windows media classic, windows media player. vlc, etc and they all seem to have same result, it resorts to saving the file first.
for some odd reason i can't get it to stream
now same exact file...that wont stream, when i access it via the IIS, the media then streams by default.
for some reason when using HFS it asks user to save file and what to open it with (defaulted)
but when i access the media via the IIS web server it'll stream the file be default, otherwise it asks me what to open it with which then streams it.
its not a stop ship problem for me as i have IIS to rely on and have done so before hfs came along, so its not a problem, i thought i'd mention it, maybe others might experience same problem if streaming.
i've asked some friends and some are able to stream which confuses me, maybe it really is a problem with the users PC and how windows sees the file and not with hfs.
i'll keep playing with it see if I can find a clue.
