I believe that The Playa is not able to be a client for this task ( it can play AVI while downloading them over HTTP protocol, but that's not what is needed here ). FFMPEG is a good suggestion, though AFAIK it's not very reliable yet. Real does not have any free streaming solutions ( nothing cheaper than $2000 ). -- Best regards, Eugene mailto:divx@xxxxxxx or sparky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Team GADGET] [Team Two Divided By Zero]
