			== Support for internet streams ==

			As of current rev 2010-07-27 it seem to be impossible to get a internet audio/video stream to show up in Orbiters mediabrowser.
			To explain a little about to issue.
			The problem is not that LMCE cannot play internet streams (it can with MH Play Media).
			The issue is that it is not possible to create a "virtual" file that is stored in lmce´s media database, File table.
			When one add a new row to file table and set MediaType=5 (Stored Video), Filename to "http://server/stream/channelid/2" it is shown in Orbiters mediabrowser.
			However it cannot be played as MediaPlugin append a "/" in front of every row in File table as it treats them as files being located in a filesystem.

			There´s a couple of ways to solve this.

			1.
			Create a new plugin that accept internet streams.
			However the plugin will need a place to store it´s streams configuration.
			The concept of Shoutcast and Youtube plugin can be used here.
			Both plugins above use the concept of dynamic files in lmce (as in files not represented within File table).

			2.
			Create two new media types in MediaType. InternetVideoStream and InternetAudioStream.
			Add a little logic to MediaPlugin to not append a "/" if a row in File table is of types above.
			Logic can be added to MediaAttributes_LowLevel::GetFilePathFromFileID( int PK_File, int *PK_MediaType ) in MediaAttributes_LowLevel.cpp

			A new piece should be added to lmce-admin to handle configuration of streams.

			Small amount of changes in lmce source code to support.


			3.
			Another approach is to create a new table in Media database.
			For example mURL table. Pretty much the same columns as in File table without path and Filename. Replaced with url instead.

			For this to work some changes is needed in lmce source to support it.


			4.
			A mix of above.
			Create a new mediafile type that updatemedia recognice.
			For example an XML file or M3U file.
			The info in this file will be added into File table by updatemedia.

			Add more info...
