[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 580477, member: 14311"] The server does have to know about them as they have to parse them for Meta data usually. Also, if the client wants to skip to 1m 30sec into a file you don't want to be streaming all that, you want to jump the start point forward and stream from there. This is getting a lot more complex, but if you are then getting into transcoding based on the clients capabilities or connection then the server needs to know what the file is for setting up the transcoding parameters. Simple file serving is a fairly easy thing to do, a streaming media server is a whole other level of complexity..... and coolness :D [/QUOTE]
