JQuery Media Plugin playing a file outside of webroot

Question

Is it possible to play a multimedia file that is outside the website using the JQuery Media Plugin. The server we are working on is based on Windows. For example, the path to the file:

\ server \ share \ music.mp3

In my testing, this is not yet possible.

Answer 1

You cannot refer to it directly, no. But you can pass it through a local script server, which makes your path request look something like this:

getmusic.php?id=music

getmusic.php script . mp3, . , , .
