Hm, ok. Then how do I force the player to load something using my
component? I guess I'd one way to do it would be to register my
protocol with the player and associate it with a specific URL type,
for example make all URLs that start with "dmtp://.." use my component.
But how would I do something like that?
The player can only open a file or an URL, and since I haven't
told it what a "dmtp://" URL is it says "error -2000: a necessary
data reference couldn't be resolved."
A bit of a catch 22, it seems :)

Mikael
