an URL (or a list of URLs) of mpg files, just like it is with audio/x-mpegurl
and m3u files on www.mp3.com and others..
Well, a suggestion, dont know how usefull people think it is, in the time
of "real" media, but it works nicenst here in the lan with m1v files, you
can use mtvp (Linux) for streaming via Netscape, playing the video files
without downloading them first, isnt that a progress ? ;-)
BUT, mtvp (as other mpgplayers) cannot directly read filelists (mgu files),
the way mp3players do (since winamp etc..). CURRENTLY, maybe this will change
with peoples interest in this videogame, you have to wrap mtvp into a
shellscript, that will read the filelist and give mtvp the URL, here it comes:
cat $1 | xargs -n 1 mtvp
and you have to put this script into your .mailcap.
Dont know if such a script could be realised with applescript or on windows
too, anyway, its fun !!
Hope, I did make things clear enough, apologies, if not...

Ps: mtvp runs nicenst on FreeBSD !

When all goes its usual way, it will become a Vendor type of MIME type.
Btw, does anybody know how the digital TV of the future will be incorporated
into browsers. With HTML and plugins ?
