UNC File won't play in embedded control

[SteveRicketts]

I have VLC embedded in a web page and when I give it a UNC file name, it won't play. I've tried \\server\d\myfile.wmv and file://\\server\d\myfile.wmv, neither work. These play from the VLC GUI but not when it's embedded... how can I make this work? I've tried this in 1.0.5 and 1.1.5.

Where is the html page?

Well, the actual page is not accessible from the internet. It's an Windows web server, IIS 7, on my internal server. Here is the web page code if that helps.

<object id="VLC" classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921"

If you are accessing by windows share, you better make a driver map, then use something like "f:\folder\folder\filename.ext".
or
something like "file:///f:/folder/folder/filename.ext" (sure, 3 "/" after "file:" )
or
try something like "file:///server/sharefolder/subfolder/filename.ext" (this one i'm not sure)

Make sure there no unicode character in the path string, otherwise you've encode it by encodeURI().
