Hi,

I tried to watch some WMV files on my Macbook today. I am using Quicktime and Niceplayer with the Flip4Mac plugin installed. The files I am opening are stored on my Macbook Pro. I am trying to play them off that on my Macbook over wireless (54mbps). Flip4Mac seems to want to cache the movie before playing, so it seems like its downloading the whole movie before playing. The files are about 300mb in size so obviously I don't want this.

I want to stream the files so they play instantly. I have looked in the options of Flip4Mac but changing anything doesn't seem to make any difference. The files simply don't play. Is there any work around for this?
