media player control
-
hi all this is what i plan to impliment. create a media server with some videos. develop an application to select the file and view it. i would be implimenting it on my college network. i do not plan to use media streaming. i would need help on the following: 1. how do i get the media player up and running? does it have the functions to connect to the database and fetch the file? 2. whats the best way to impliment the database. should i keep an index in a databse like SQL or access? regards Vineet

media files are big, so I wouldn't use a database to store the files, just store paths to the files on the file system. Then, your media player can connect to the actual files over the networ, all you need to do is tell it where to look.
