KIOMediaStream help wanted

[Pier-Olivier Thibault]

Hi,

I have been playing around with DragonPlayer's source code and I found out 
that when using other protocol beside HTTP, there was a kio job launched for 
it. KIOMediaStream is used to upload the video and then pass the file back to 
the MediaObject object. 

Now, I have been having some issues with this KIOMediaStream object for 
several reasons. (Please consider I'm not a good C++ coder so there might be 
some solutions that I haven't come accross).

When dragonplayer's loading the url, it gets the mimetype then automatically 
loads the video, which is bad when working with internet streaming videos.

Now, since KIOMediaStream has no signals emitted when different actions are 
happening, it's very hard for me to get some control over the content once the 
MediaSource::setCurrentSource() is passed.

Then, MediaSource has a method named stream() which returns the pointer of the 
AbstractMediaStream, I have tried using it but it seems that when you pass an 
url to MediaSource, it doesn't udpate the object to becoming a stream type. 
(Type() method always return an url and the stream doesn't seem to be active.

So is there any solution to get some control over the stream (signals 
preferably. This way, it would avoid me to subclass existing concepts..)

Thanks!
