Im streaming avi in FF right now with it on my testbed accross my home network its running fine.
@imported_predatorkill What type of media file you put in ?
My question now is it seem there is no restriction. Someone could load the first page of a thread with 10 1.5 GB avi's and it will sit there loading each one eventually. You can even use the ftp:// protocol in the tags

One avi will load quickly but how is a thread page going to handle multiple posts with media tages or even a single post with multiple media tags.
