ASX files instead of .M3U

So Ive been on a mission of sorts, to get subsonic to stream Video efficiently

Ive settled on .ASF files. I found a great conversion tool that converts AVI, MPEG..etc in batches http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/268285 .. Great!


Creating the ASX file is easy.
Open a Notepad paste the following:

<ASX version="3">
<Entry>
<ref href="videofilename.asf" />
</Entry>
</ASX>


Save as .asx.


However, since subsonic masks the actual file location with a HEX value, the "<ref href="videofilename.asf" />" tag cannot be set.
It should look something like <ref href="http://servername:8080/subsonic/playlistview?playutf8HEX=......." />

I was wondering if it were possible for an ASX option to be added to subsonic, so that it could create .ASX files just as easily as it would .M3U files.

This would be awesome!

Asx files allow for better bandwidth management while streaming video.

Asx/asf files allow for seeking! :lol:

I was out for a while and kind of lost track of this thread. Any chance this .asx might happen, Sindre? Thanks for Subsonic.
