Streaming Video Playback problems - Buffering

Downloading file using http library

NEW PROBLEM see 2nd post

I want to stream video from a website and open it with an external media player.
The video stream is a series of .ts files, each 10 seconds long.

If I download the files and join them together using the EmbedFile command from the binary library, then I can play the joined file back fine.

I can't work out how to add to the file the media player is playing (whilst it is playing).
When I try and add another part to the file which is playing back the media player just plays the original part (although the file size increases).

SOLVED - the media player on my ppc plays back the stream fine - if I can get it to start downloading (new prob).

Thanks

Problem downloading file using http library

Hi

I seem to be having trouble downloading a file using the http.dll library. It works fine on the desktop, but when running on my device it crashes basic4ppc.
This is the line of code it crashes on, almost everytime on my ppc.

request.New1(url)

I used the code directly from the http library examples. Almost every time I run it on my ppc this line is reached and basic4ppc closes (completely).
I have tried error handling but this doesn't help.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
