The old Buzztouch control panel had two actions Streaming Video and Streaming Audio. I used both a lot. There is no plugin available that does not also load an unnecessary screen/doc... I just want to trigger the native video player in iOS, so I figured this work around using the (very cool) JSON Snippet Keeper plugin: {"itemNickname":"mycoolVideo", "itemId":"yourId12345678910", "itemType":"BT_screen_video", "dataURL":"http://a-domain.com/video/myCoolVideo.mp4"} it worked for me...

sweet! Will be trying this out tonight...thanks for sharing!

To clarify, it is not reliant on "self hosting" as your title suggests. The BT_screen_video still works in 2.0. It was left in from 1.5, but not used as a "plugin" since iOS takes control of the video into it's native player. And starting in v2.0, plugins were meant to be synonymous with "screens that do something". I posted about this a few weeks ago, but sadly cannot find it in my searches. BTW, thanks for the plug for the JSON Snippet Keeper :)

I see Stobe... I changed my post Heading as to not confuse. I've got a lot to learn... thanks

Hi, I just wanted to share that it should not take very long anymore until a new streaming audio plugin will appear in the market. see some pre-info: http://www.bt-addons.com/the-plugins/the-audiostreamer-plugin.html Best Regards, Danny

Hi Danny is this your plugin? Its really cool, when will it be available as I have a project that I want to start but was concerned about the audio streaming as I wasn't sure what solutions I had. This plugin would solve all my problems. Very excited! Mr. David, if you are reading, make this plugin a priority! Great stuff Danny!

Danny, one question about the audio plugin, would I have the option of playing audio locally?

Hi Dragon, The purpose of this plugin is to play mp3 files and mp3 streams stored on an external server (dropbox, your own server, etc). Maybe a future update will support local audio. ETA: hope to finish everything this week and after that it's going to buzztouch for approval and fixing one little issue. Depending on the approval and fixing time it will be in the market. Best Regards, Danny

WOW. Talk about breaking JSON down to the core. That actually makes a ton of sense. I'm positive that is exactly the type of functonality David had in mind when he built BT. This code is actually controlled int he BT_ViewController. I had to go in there and look and there's a bunch of goodness there I see we can now exploit invoking the BTViewVontroller via JSON like this. MONEY Ross, Thanks for sharing. Snippet Screen Loader. @PSMDanny - Sounds cool. Building something similar but using MediaPlayer and concentrating on local audio. Not making a plugin out of it and jst got all my bkg audio issues worked out! Love the Maiden and Lionel Richie screenshots! Nice lookign UI. Is that a OpenGL UV Meter?

Hi Atrain53, Thanks. Cool you're working on something similar. As you may know (or may not) I love cool designs and that's the reason I wanted a very good looking player. The meter is F3BarGauge. Best Regards, Danny
