Putting an rtsp:// stream URL into a Movie patch in Quartz Composer (QC) and rendering it onto a Billboard patch causes QC to hang.

Has anyone managed to successfully implement a WMS DataSourcePlugin in C#? I want to stream WMV/WMA content from a database via a C# API and this seemed like the only way to do it.

So, I wrote a quick little app for the iphone that takes in an http URL, and plays the .mp4 video located at that URL (it does more than that, of course, but that's the meat of it).
