dear all, i know we can load a movie under data folder with “videoPlayer.loadMovie(“fingers.mov”);” but can we load a movie in another computer connected in a local area network? for example, if i put a movie in the shared folder, then i can view this movie manually but i don’t know whether or not ofVideoPlayer can do this.

technically there is no difference for the file system.

I’d use at least gigabit ethernet though.

well, i tried “player.loadMovie(”//202.120.20.101/fingers.mov");" but it didn’t work
btw, how to load a movie from an absolute path? i tried “player.loadMovie(“E:/fingers.mov”);” and player.loadMovie(“E:\fingers.mov”);" but none of them works.

try ofDisableDataPath() before loading the file.
