Wow! That certainly qualifies for the simple part! The trick seemed to |
| 33 |
be to cd to the video directory before running python, but once I did |
| 34 |
that I am able to get video. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
One 'problem' if you will is the video isn't streaming but rather the |
| 37 |
whole file is being copied and then xine is being run. That leads to |
| 38 |
no disk space over time. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Is this a function of Firefox being set up to use xine as opposed to |
| 41 |
some other app or plugin? I'd really like to understand a little more |
| 42 |
about getting it to stream instead of copy, if possible. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
The other thing I just tested was accessing the server using my wife's |
| 45 |
iPod Touch. It can browse to the video files but then Quicktime |
| 46 |
doesn't play them. Back in the python terminal I see a lot of message |
| 47 |
like this: |
