one last question [ for now anyway - i promise ;].

i currently use my max patch to konnekt to a streaming

.m3u file by linking to a web page because the actual

i have konsidered using OTUDP and i have a dns service

resolve a .net to my .m3u in the browser. but, the

.net doesn't send a signal any object understands.

is this an absurd notion or can i get the static .net

to feed these alternate .m3u streams to an object

like jit.qt.movie and thereby have a static 'read'

i currently use my max patch to konnekt to a streaming
.m3u file by linking to a web page because the actual
ip. will change from time to time.

i have konsidered using OTUDP and i have a dns service
resolve a .net to my .m3u in the browser.  but, the
.net doesn't send a signal any object understands.

is this an absurd notion or can i get the static .net
to feed these alternate .m3u streams to an object
like jit.qt.movie and thereby have a static 'read'
message in my patch?

I would guess that an apache redirect in an .htaccess file would work. Have you tried that?

- i've been reading it over and i don't see how that would allow

me to create a static pointer to a file that jit.qt.movie understands

[ or the like ]. i have a url address that immediately resolves to

my .m3u file but that file is changing so i have to change my ip

to point at the new .m3u. so, as a web page the address is always

the same. but, i want the marker that jit.qt.movie can read to

be permanent - it won't read mysong.net even if it directly resolves

to 123.33.333.m3u today and 456.678.888.m3u tomorrow.

am i missing something that .htaccess will do that i am not aware of?

and, i guess i would have to continually update it but i can live

with that - i do that now at no-ip.com.
