Hi Laurence, When you say it supports pseudo-streaming, is that Including flv files that are hosted inside the Plone CMS, and not served directly by apache / lighttpd / streaming server ? My tests using curl / wget show plone spits out the same file content regardless of the 'start' and 'end' parameters when i ask for the movie file.. so i'm not sure how that can work.
