So far I have successfully used a stripped-down version of the player from OnlineVideos, but there are many things to be worked out. The movies from HeadWeb comes in either RTMPE (secure Flash) or in MS Silverlight.

OnlineVideos uses an RTMP library that is able to play the flash content, but it seems like Silverlight content is dead in the tracks

Since the internal player can load a subtitle and add it on playback (downloaded with SubCentral) I thought it would be possible to do the same with online content, but I can see that there is a difference in playing local and remote content...

While looking at how others have implemented HeadWeb, I found that Plex just embeds a Flash-player and a Silverlight-player in the plugin. While this looks really easy, the drawback is terrible performance - and I guess there is no Silverlight-player for Linux and Mac OS.

The Boxee HeadWeb plugin just filters out Silverlight-content.

If only we could get Netflix here in Europe, life would be a sweet deal

[QUOTE="pilehave, post: 726079, member: 71550"] So far I have successfully used a stripped-down version of the player from OnlineVideos, but there are many things to be worked out. The movies from HeadWeb comes in either RTMPE (secure Flash) or in MS Silverlight. OnlineVideos uses an RTMP library that is able to play the flash content, but it seems like Silverlight content is dead in the tracks :growl: Since the internal player can load a subtitle and add it on playback (downloaded with SubCentral) I thought it would be possible to do the same with online content, but I can see that there is a difference in playing local and remote content... While looking at how others have implemented HeadWeb, I found that Plex just embeds a Flash-player and a Silverlight-player in the plugin. While this looks really easy, the drawback is terrible performance - and I guess there is no Silverlight-player for Linux and Mac OS. The Boxee HeadWeb plugin just filters out Silverlight-content. If only we could get Netflix here in Europe, life would be a sweet deal ;) [/QUOTE]
