loading input files from other servers?

[skwerl]

hey, does anyone know if it's possible to convert files that aren't local? can flix be fed http://some.domain.com/pathto/somefile.wmv as an input file?

If you're using the Linux version you should be able to use PHP, Python, Perl, or Java on the webserver side to pass the file and parameters to Flix via RPC.

Has this implementation been tested? Are there any examples?

Or is this in theory that it can work?

Thanks!

We use the included PHP flixmodule.so to do just that. You should be able to figure it out from the included documentation.
