When using the FOBS decoder component to open an mpeg file that resides on a share on another PC, FOBS (or ffmpeg ?) first copies it to the local PC (somewhere …) and then seems to retrieve/decode it from there. In this use case both PC's are on windows XP.
I remember in older vlc versions that the same thing happened (but then I was using linux to go to a NAS), but newer vlc's no longer seem to do that.

How can I avoid this copy ? Is some update needed (ffmpeg, on how easy can this be updated so that it still works in FOBS, knowing that a lot of people have issues with this), or is it some parameter, or method to call on the fobs decoder ?
Or is it just a little code change in ffmpeg, so that I can just to the modification on the ffmpeg sources that ship with FOBS ?

Anyone any idea on this ?

many thanks,
Lieven
