Dear KSV,
thank you a lot for writing and maintaining this behemoth of a script!

My use case is watching sports matches of my favorite volleyball team from a subscription-based service, which I do pay for, but whose Flash player sucks.

Basically it does zero buffering, so my connection remains idle for 90% of the time, while the current segment is playing; then at the last possible moment the SWF wakes up and tries to download the next segment, freezing the video because it cannot get it in time; then it plays the segment, goes down in resolution, connection idle again... rinse and repeat, over and over, making the match impossible to enjoy. Whoever wrote this piece of shit Kaltura player needs to be tarred and feathered and sent back to flipping burgers. Even Real Player had better buffering!

Anyways, as I was squeezing Google for information about this crazy segmented media format I had never seen before, I found your script mentioned in some other forum. I was able to apply it straightaway to my website, at least for the recorded matches (I have to wait for the next live match to see if it works live too)

I have never seen a media protocol as complicated as this. I've been browsing the source code of your script and I have to say I'm stunned at the complexity and ingenuity it displays.

Bravo! If there is any way for me to buy you a beer, PM me the details :-)
