Create new volume from video stream. #841

Closed rskelly closed 3 weeks ago

rskelly commented 4 weeks ago

We're wondering about the feasibility of using a hosted video stream as a volume source. For example, a stream from Ocean Networks Canada (link to actual stream; we have not consulted with ONC about the use of streams for this purpose, it's just an example).

Currently, one must enter the URL of a directory containing video files and list the files individually. Hypothetically, one could enter the stream URL without the list of individual files and stream the volume from that location.

This might be tangentially related to issue #273.
