Good evening. I am developing a web app in which requires streaming a video stored in a company’s lan. Is there any way it can be implemented? As i see it, the Web Movie Player supports only URL’s.
Try using a file URL. Check out the URL property of the folderitem class.
Greg, thank you for your response.
File URLs were the first approach since in the Desktop version of the app, this was used frequently. But it didn’t seem to work on the web controls.
In order to solve the problem, the client company uploaded the media needed for the application on a web server.
Now the media could be retrieved using a simple url.

That’s not surprising actually. Most browsers consider it a security risk to allow pulling media from the local drive and from the network or internet at the same time.
