[Qt-interest] Phonon - Play back a downloading video file

[Andy Bell]

Hi Jonathan,

I guess it may be important here to mention that I am using Qt 4.4.0 on
Windows XP.

The video files are pretty large, like 700MB, what I find is that after say
6MB of download the video files plays back fine.  This is obviously all
dependent on bitrate and the download rate but it seems to work fine.  I
will try out that signal to see if I can work the player to run smoothly on
higher bitrates and/or slower connection speeds.
