I have set up an ftp server so i can access my files/movies from anywhere with a decent internet connection.

I have been able to successfully watch an mpg encoded movie over ftp (by connecting to the server with explorer then double clicking on the movie). It opens wmp and starts playing the movie while buffering the rest.

When i try to do the same with a Divx/Xvid encoded file, wmp just sits there and tries to download the entire file all at once before playing. Any way around this, (codec settings, alternative movie players, ftp settings?)
