Fishing in konqueror
Greetings,
I find the fish:// protocol one of the coolest things in KDE/Konqueror. However, is there any audio and/or video player that can directly stream the fish:// protocol? Even the embedded media player in Konqueror cannot do that. I wish I could preview audio/video files on remote server.
RE: Fishing in konqueror
I was at akademy, and I heard that there was a project to enable seeking/streaming in kioslaves. I think that might mean that there's not support there currently. I wasn't entirely listening at the time though. If anything can do it, I'd say it'd be kaffeine(best player in the world), but I've not tried it with fish.
On a side note, I use sftp:// rather than fish://, but that might just be personal preference.

You're talking about the Random Access KIO framework, which is stuff for KDE4.

Thanks alsuren and bram85,
Oh, so random access for fish:// et al will be possible in KDE4, that's sweet!
Yeah, I guess I'll use ftp and http[s] for now. Some machines which I access doesn't have FTP and HTTP service installed though, but many do, which is good enough.
