It looks like the desktop app MoviePlayer can only work with local files and not streaming. Besides HTMLviewer is there any desktop streaming solution?
Try using a QuickTime medial Link file - it’s just a text file with the extension .qtl and looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?><?quicktime type="application/x-quicktime-media-link"?><embed autoplay="true" src="path/to/the/movie.mov" />I believe that you can use any URL in the src parameter.
Perfect! Had no clue about that one.
