Hi all,

I am trying to adapt the MoviePlayBack example to read a movie from a remote Quicktime Streaming Server (instead of a local file).

I get the following error:


quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.3g],-5401=Unknown Error Code,QT.vers:7048000
at quicktime.std.StdQTException.checkError(StdQTException.java:38)

Now THAT is not a useful error message

My program is as follows:


=====================================================

import processing.video.*;
Movie myMovie;

void setup()
{
 size(200, 200);
 background(0);
 // Load and play the video in a loop
 try {
 URL myurl = new URL("http://myserver/sample_100kbit.mov");
 if (myurl != null) {
 myMovie = new Movie(this, myurl);
 //myMovie = new Movie(this, "street.mov");
 
 myMovie.loop();
 }
 else {
  println("bla");
 }
 }
 catch (Exception e) {
   println("dah");
   println(e);
   }
}

void movieEvent(Movie myMovie) {
 myMovie.read();
}


void draw()
{
 tint(255, 20);
 if (myMovie.available()) {
 image(myMovie, mouseX-myMovie.width/2, mouseY-myMovie.height/2);
 }
 else {
    //println("Movie not available");
 }
 //image(myMovie, 200, 200);
}

=====================================================

Finally, I can read http://myserver/sample_100kbit.mov in a browser just fine, so it not an access problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
