Playing video file by http link

[lballo]

Hi all,

I want to play video file which resides on server.
I've got a HTTP link to this file.

Is it possible to play it by built-in engine?

I tried to put http link to CVideoPlayerUtility::OpenUrlL but it looks like CVideoPlayerUtility wants RTSP links only and OpenComplete fails with -5 (Not supported).

HTTP is not really suitable for streaming, you should simply download the file instead.

It's not so good news
And what about RealPlayer? I see it's able to play HTTP links, i.e. play and download simultaneously.
It doesn't expose such API?
