The MediaPlayer uses libVLC to play media. This means if you can open the file with the stand alone vlc player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ it should also be able to play it in Tundra. However note that not all media support streaming (codecs, containers etc, i dont know the tech side of it). This is why I made the "allow streaming" boolean attribute in the component. Another reason is to preload the whole media file for the client before playing, meaning you will not get "buffering" pauses while you play it, for me this makes for a smoother user experience at least for slow internet connections.
I said to you to but streaming allowed true because you were talking about a web cam stream on web, this kind of "media" cannot be really downloaded, you need to stream it. But if you do have a normal video file on the web, I would suggest setting streaming allowed false and reconnect to the server to start the asset download. You should see "Downloading media..." text and a icon on the center of the objects submesh you are rendering the video. Keep me updated how it goes.
