Hi

On the advice of another developer, I'm using mkfifo to take the output of AdobeHDS to the input of DVDPlayer - on Linux, this works fine.

For Windows, I have an issue.

I create a named pipe from the output of the FLV file "\\.\pipe\bbcsports.flv" and then pass that as a file name to DVDPlayer.

DVDPlayer refuses to open the named pipe.

Is there any known workaround for using a named pipe as input to DVDPlayer please ?

what does the log say when trying to open it?

I was about to play around with pipes myself.

don't use \ in the file name and i'm sure it will work much better...
