Overview
CMP is a client/server mediaplayer, intended to play any media (that ffmpeg supports) from any workstation without the need to export and mount nfs shares or the like.
The backend acts like a http-server, which means, it offers the medialist as html-pages (default) or as json-responses (on request), so sofisticated Javascript pages could be created.
The real "streaming" is a file over http, which can be played by mediaplayers.
