For HTTP Live Streaming and some cases for MP4 on Mac we using QTMovie, which only accepts URLs for FILE or HTTP protocol only and handles downloading, progress buffering and HLS playlists parsing internally. We do not have control over it. MP4 can also be played on Mac via GStreamer via Video Acceleration Framework, but it is limited to only one instance and one stream across all apps (meaning if someone runs QuickTime and loaded movie we cannot use it), limited support of H.264 bitsream (not all resolutions, framerates, profiles are supported). It depends on video card.

Due to internal restrictions we won't be able to support HTTPS on MacOs (and possibly on iOS). Do you think it a good idea to add a feature with limited support - just for Linux and Windows ?
