Pseudo-Stream flv from other server, using a local html file

Is it possible to pseudo-stream a flv video on an external server that only allows pseudo-streaming if you watch the video from a website hosted on this external server? I want to access the flv file using a html file on my pc. (Not using another website.) I tried it using the flowplayer, but it wasn't pseudo-streaming (I couldn't seek behind the point in the video that wasn't already downlaoded).

Btw if I download the whole sourcecode of the external site and try to run it in my browser the player stays black and doesn't do anything.

If it is not possible, it would be nice if you would explain me why. :)

And yes I have permission to do this.

edit: Sorry, I'm soo stupid. -.- I used a flowplayer configuration that didn't allow pseudo-streaming. The example on this site works great: http://flash.flowplayer.org/demos/plugins/streaming/

So in order to "Seek" via flash or html 5, you need something called a Moov Atom, you could think of the Moov Atom much as you would a Key Frame in a Standard Mpeg 2 file.

If you have the Moov Atoms (you can apply these with atomic parsley or other encoders - Just Google how to add Moov atoms to flv.) you will then be able to seek from atom position to atom position. [Much like when you seek an mpeg it moves from keyframe to keyframe]

I have tried to keep this answer generalist, as I don't think you really want to know all the finer details of the flv container or it's playback.

Hope this helped.

Cheers Craig
