Hi there,

i have recently installed the very good collective.flowplayer product 
and have a question relating to pseudo-streaming.. the ability to scan 
through a large movie without waiting for the whole thing to download.

i have everything working fine in in our Plone installation.. the 
appropriate files are automatically wrapped in the flowplayer flash 
control and everything is sweet.

My question is regarding pseudo streaming.. I have a separate instance 
of flowplayer (3.2.4) and I have configured our apache web server using 
the H.264 streaming module described here:

http://h264.code-shop.com/trac/wiki/Mod-H264-Streaming-Apache-Version2#Configuration

using my custom player config i can successfully scan through large 
movies like on youtube, but this doesn't work in the 
collective.flowplayer version. I'm guessing this is for 2 reasons;

1. the pseudostreaming.swf control is not loaded by collective.flowplayer
2. the plone HTTP server does not support streaming (fetching content 
from half way through the file) as the apache module i installed is not 
used at all by plone itself. (fyi, in our case, plone is behind an 
apache reverse proxy)

problem 1 i think i can fix with lots of new entries in the 
site_properties sheet for flowplayer, problem 2 is more hard core 
though, and i would not assume is possible. my only reason for writing 
is that i notice there is included the pseudostreaming.swf file in the 
collective.flowplayer product, so maybe someone has done this before ?

i'd appreciate any comments on this, even if it's "never gonna happen"

thanks very much for a great product,

-ivan
