Hey Guys!
I have a few questions relating to MRSS "media list" feeds as well as video lists in terms of functionality.
When a MRSS feed is updated it seems like the currently playing item (in my case video) freezes and the playback starts again when the new feed item is downloaded. Is this the current way mrss feeds work? I.E. Is there a way to make the current feed continue to play until the new feed items finish downloading? Also can a feed keep playing until the current item has finished before the swap? Also Is there a way to randomize the playback (does using a custom parser effect how the mrss parser reads the feed or is the custom parser just for live text ect)?
For video lists when a feed is updated does the existing content get removed form the player or just it keep stacking until the player is out of space?
My current alternative has been to create a html file that reads the mrss xml via jquery, randomizes the entries order, then creates a html5 fullscreen video player with a playlist of the items. This works great, but as the html cache is limited the player stops and locks if there is a interruption in the internet connection (I think there is an html5 video event that I can use to restart playback but no luck yet).
