media files

[star74]

Hi
Just installed the HFS. I have a network in my cafe and want to share my movies and mp3 s with password. when sharing with HFS files downloded to client and open from client computer. Is it possible to open files from server machine to save time and network trafic?
Waiting for your help
Thanks

it is not up to HFS (the server), but up to the client.

VLC media player does it www.videolan.org/vlc/

VLC media player doesn't acceptable in that case.
A main complexity for simple users is difficult to adding files for streaming.


Does anyone can help, if possible, to change link to file browser format?
I mean, to replace IP address with network name.

For example, I've all media files in one folder: \\Server\Video
And if I change code in HTML template of HFS to "... <a href="\\Server\Video\%item-name%"> ..." (line 89 col 24) - selected file runs with media player by default when you select "Open" in dialog.
But if you've more folders, its can't be work.

<a href="\\Server\Video\%item-name%">

Code: [Select]

<a href="http://%host%%encoded-folder%%item-name%">
