A few questions about nokia's native media player

[JunJun]

Hi!
I'm quite new to S40 development and I already got so many questions even before starting my first project!
Is it possible to play streams (which are not necessarily rtsp, could be http) using the native media player ?
If so, is it possible to embed the native media player in an S40 web app ?
If not, what is the best way to play streams inside an S40 web app?
I've already searched the documentation and the discussion boards and couldn't find a satisfying answer.
Thanks in advance!

It is possible to stream video (and audio) using the native player on the device.

You may implement a hyperlink and call the mwl.loadURL function with the video / audio url.

<a href="#" onclick="mwl.loadURL('http://linktomyvideo.com/video.mp4');">Play video</a>

Embedding video files in web apps not possible so far.
