I have been recently introduced to AppleScripts and I am trying to use
applescripts to automate some of the QT Player actions like playing a
set of movies, pause/resume and skip forward/backward. I would like to
automate QT Player in order to be able to stream movies over the network
using the
open <URL> statement and automate the above operations for the same. Is
there a way in which I can make the script detect whenever QT is not
able to open a movie due to issues at the server end( for ex if the
client is not able to establish connection with the server, or the
server has crashed..).
My second question is if I would like to change the QuickTime Settings
in terms of the Streaming Transport and Proxy server, I am able to
automize the opening of the QT Settings dialog box but am not sure
whether I can automate the setting of the parameters related to
Streaming Transport and Proxy server.
