[QUOTE="moiristo, post: 102242, member: 26940"] Thanks, I'll look into it when I'm behind my own computer again... The only thing I changed was that I removed all the file extension checks and just call g_player.Play(). After testing, I found the following problems: 1) Playing video files that could be handled by the internal videoplayer are handled by the internal audioplayer, causing the plugin to stay in a loading state. As I said, I think this is a bug in MP. You could set the VLC plugin to always load http streams, but when listening audio only, it (unnecessarily) goes to fullscreen. Besides, it causes trouble with other plugins like the last.fm plugin. 2) With the vlc buffer set to 1200, I still get lags in the video (mostly at the start). I think this is why iTunes first downloads the file before playing it. Maybe this plugin should do something similar. Anyway, I'll try some higher buffering values tomorrow :) [/QUOTE]
