Hello,
I am trying to play mp3 files in an embeded Media Player object (HTML). The audio files are stored on a separate server (that the web server can access).
I manage to make to work just fine using a network path for the file (\\myserver\folder\test.mp
3) but I do not feel comfortable to let people see my network paths on the html code of my web page. That is why, as my website is developed in plain ASP, i tried to stream the audio file by using the ADODB.Stream object available in asp.
I then got 2 pages, test_mp3.html that embed Media Player (see following code)

And stream_mp3.asp (see following code) that streams the file from the server

Dim strFile
strFile = "\\myserver\folder\test.mp

Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear
Response.ContentType = "audio/mpeg"
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB
.Stream")
objStream.Open
objStream.Type = 1
objStream.LoadFromFile strFile
Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
Response.End
%>

But apparently, media player does not recognize this page as an mp3 file and can not retrieve it. I could easily use \\myserver\folder\test.mp3
on the URL parameter of the <object> instead to make it work but as i said before i do not want people to see the network path for security reasons.
Is there any way to make this system work ? If not, what is the workaround ?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
