On our flying forum, we link to videos we take from our flying field. Naturally when you click on the link, they download and then play.
Question is, after the vid is uploaded to the server, how can you get it to just play without downloading?
I tried uploading swift player.exe and linking the vid with that, but no dice. Any ideas?
Thanks cl

Never mind. I found that FF is the only browser doing this. Ie, Avant and Opera all start playing when you click the link, instead of downloading first. Don't know if its bug in FF or its just not able to start the movie. cl
