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.
