Stuart Fenton	Wednesday 19 May 2004 9:13:37 am I am having an interesting problem with the permission system. I am trying to allow streaming content to be played by various streaming media players. Similar to the standard QuickTime, Flash and Media player types however I require users to only read after logging in. Using this method the external players cannot play any of the content. The web browser however can play the content. When I check the log files I am told that "Policies do not match". (only when using an external player) The privilege system seems to prevent it being played even if it's on the same machine If I turn off permissions the files play correctly. I have tried altering to the passthrough binary file type but that makes no difference. Has anyone else encountered this issue and is their any solution to it? I have written an streaming mp3 module to accommodate this functionality but this particular issues causes me to hit a wall. Any help is greatly appreciated.
