Play AVI while downloading?

[Rorka]

Okay, well is it possible to play an AVI, while it is downloading kinda like YouTube?

Thanks

I think so. AVI stop playing it's animation on the moment GUICtrlSetState($AVI, $GUI_AVISTOP) get called, or upon program termination. ;]

So if i downloaded 1% of it then played it using Autoit, it would continue when more was downloaded?

AVI is not depended on external events other than it's own. It's either playing it's own animation GUICtrlSetState($AVI, $GUI_AVISTART) or not playing it GUICtrlSetState($AVI, $GUI_AVISTOP). You can test it, make a gui with a button control and start the avi, pushing the button may popup a message box, if the avi animation keep looping then nothing will stop it but GUICtrlSetState($AVI, $GUI_AVISTOP) or program termination.

Edit: Here, take a look:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

Dim $hGUI = GUICreate('Test', 200, 100)
Dim $AVI = GUICtrlCreateAvi('shell32.dll', 150, 0, 0)
Dim $Button = GUICtrlCreateButton('Button', 70, 70, 60, 25)

GUISetState()
GUICtrlSetState($AVI, $GUI_AVISTART)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $Button
            MsgBox(0x30, 'Title', 'Text')
        
        Case -3
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

The answer for your question, in short, is that yes, it's possible to play AVI animation while your script is downloading a file.

You can cook meal too.

But that is not related to Rorka's question.

Fine, now I understand the question so it'll require a few tests.

I think the correct term of what you want is "streaming".
