it seems not to be possible to play files from a network location, like //pcname/videopath/filename.wmv
but i need this feature really urgently!
furthermore i need to know the file’s duration ‘before’ i load it into the filestream.
this is necessary to calculate startpositions and durations from a playlist.
atm i use a wacky ‘patcharound’ with aviparser (which also doesn’t work in the network) because for performance reasons i fear having a 2nd complete filestreamgraph incl. renderer.
