Yep, it is.

Note that, even though modern HTML5-based web-browsers do support video streaming without the need for a separate plug-in, you cannot simply open the video stream URL directly from the address bar. Instead, you need at least a minimal "web page" containing some HTML code with a 〈Video〉 tag and the proper parameters. And even then you will be restricted to the streaming protocols and video formats that are supported by the individual web browser...
(most web-browsers probably only support "progressive download" via HTTP, but not "real" streaming via something like RTSP) |
Ah... silly me, I thought I could.
I really gotta check MPlayer and try to use it then...
