You can set a new image name whenever you want to change a texture, but
this will reload the file which may be too slow for smooth playback if
the files are large.

Streaming a video is not directly supported. You would have to decode
the video yourself and replace the image data on the GLTexture object
(using the "image" property).
There are some initial ffmpeg wrappers in the git repository which you
could use for decoding a video file.
