There is already bug filed to restore the FX Media APIs to the FX 8 API
docs:

I don't know why FX Media isn't in the FX 8 API docs, but that's clearly an
error. Please file a bug on that.
In the meantime, you should look at the FX 2 media docs, there isn't a lot of
change from FX2 media in FX8. Buffering and streaming (HTTP Live Streaming)
are both supported, as is playback from a URL.

I am having a look at JavaFX media support and have a couple of questions:
1. It seems that the only way to load media files is by specifying a source
such as a file path etc. This is not going to work well for me as all of
my application's content (which includes data, digital assets, media etc.)
is stored in a database on the server and is loaded through an IO stream.
Why doesn't Media support loading of files through a stream? That would
seem like a common use case to me!
2. I am unable to locate any reference to JavaFX Media in the JavaDocs for
JDK 8 which I found here:
http://download.java.net/jdk8/jfxdocs/index.html
Is this just a glitch?
3. Is buffering of media something planned for the future in JavaFX?
4. What about live streaming of media content?
Thanks,
Felix
