Original issue 41 created by Omertron on 2008-06-11T09:49:43.000Z:

Hi

In general the performance of playing movies using myiHome is a lot better
then SMB or NFS. I found a way to specify the file url so that the playing
will be initiated through myiHome.
The format of the URL is:
http://<MYIHOME IP>:8000/action/playvideo.jsp?id=<Movie index>&ext=.mkv

Where:
Movie index - The alphabetic order index of the file in the directory (0,1..).
ext - The file extension

Is it possible to support that?

This is not a defect but a request for enhancement.

I think this method will work only for movies in the main directory monitored by
myiHome, since for other directories you need to browse and the index refers to the
current path the user is in.

Actually I got no information about the way myiHome is working.
I think this will be planned for a future release.

You may want to look into this!

This is using lighttpd (http server like myihome) to serve movies while using
jjulien's movie jukebox.

I played with this just last night and got it setup. From my post, you can see I set
this up just a tad different, however, it works extremely well.

Yes I did it too. After further investigation it seems that streaming through myiHome
is not practical since the index of the movie in the URL is set according to the
order in which the movies where discovered by the server and not alphabetically.

I added an enhancement request for lighttpd (http streaming) support here

http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/issues/detail?id=44&sort=status

I think we need to consider 2 paths, http for default and NFS or SMB for ISO file, as
mounting an ISO is not supported via http ....

To comment 7... before reading this thread, I added a 'defect' # 62 at
http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/issues/detail?id=62
asking to sort the order processing.

myihome is necessary for 1080p playback unless the movie is on the internal HDD.

MyiHome is too propriety for us to program for, and LightTPD is free to allow HTTP
streaming so that will be the way that we allow that going forward.
