Feature request, http support for localplayback

[MastaG]

Hi there,

I've a feature request.
Currently with local playback to get subtitles running I need to have my movies physically mounted on my local filesystem.
For this I use a nfs share to my server.
However when I take my receiver on the road I can't mount it over wan.
I tried to setup a vpn between the server and my receiver but I can't get the required speed.
Nfs over vpn is simply a no go.

So I was like, what if I share the movies using a http server.
Then I can set something like:

mapping id="1" remotePathPart="/var/lib/movies" localPathPart="http://myserver/movies/" /

Then Dreamplex will simply check whether http://myserver/movies/spongebob/spongebob.{mkv,srt} exists.
If yes, then it will play, in case of 404 then it will go back to transcoding.
