Ross, Thanks for your reply.
I checked the code mentioned, and it works as expected. But now I have a question... is possible to do the same (stream only N mins of file, or make an infinite loop) from the server side? Suppose I have no control over clients and I want them to see only first 10 minutes of 30 mins from a video, without need to cut the file? About the loop, again a way to make the server to stream a video file in a loop or not, without need to change anything on the client side?
