The HTTP Control component provides the following features via http interface to access:

  • Full control of playback, including seekbar
  • Basic playlist support
  • Basic file browser functions, including ability to browse Microsoft Network
  • A few customisation abilities

The component uses external template files containing CSS and JavaScript, and is tested and proved working on Opera 9.26, Firefox 2.0.0.8 and MSIE6. Templates can be created and modified by the user to change the look or add functionality to a template.
