[thelist] Streaming video

[Pavel Dudrenov]

Hi,

Well the dirtyest and the cheapest fix is to try to change the
preloader of the flash file it's self. Instead of strating to play
when 100% is preloaded. Try to start playing at 75% or 50%...... Play
with it. This is by no way perfect, but only the quick fix.

Later,
Pavel
