Edit the Flash Player configuration - HTTP Pseudo-Streaming was created by BjoernG

I am pretty happy with the allvideo plugin for Joomla 1.5.23.
My website is running on my own server. Its a Freebsd OS with apache 2.
Now I am looking for better streaming performance. I have found the following software for apache (H264 Streaming Module for Apache (version 2).
I could it implement and it looks good when I run the video as stand alone. But I think I have to edit the jw player to use this software as I found here: forums.clip-bucket.com/showthread.php?5001-TUTORIAL-Streaming-with-Apache

"To finally activate streaming support for the flash player you need to edit the php script that loads and setups the player. All you need to do is to add the flash var 'provider=http'. There're different loading scripts for eac players so i will only explain one so you get idea what needs to be changed
As i'm using the JW Player i added this code to the player/jw_player_5/jw_player5.php file directly after the line with '$swfobj->addVar('autostart','false');':
Code:
$swfobj->addVar('provider','http');
"
As I am not a developer it's a bit hard to find out where I have to put this value. May one of you guys can help me?

Kind Regards
Bjoern

ok I found following infos here: www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/16010/connecting-to-an-http-pseudo-streaming-server

so it has to do with following stuff:
'provider': 'http',
'http.startparam': 'starttime'

plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes
I added this stuff in the sources.php

<div id=\"avID_{SOURCEID}\" style=\"width:{WIDTH}px;height:{HEIGHT}px;\" title=\"JoomlaWorks AllVideos Player\"></div>
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
        jwplayer('avID_{SOURCEID}').setup({
                'file': '{SITEURL}/{FOLDER}/{SOURCE}.{FILE_EXT}',
                'image': '{PLAYER_POSTER_FRAME}',
                'height': '{HEIGHT}',
                'width': '{WIDTH}',
                'modes': [
                        { 'type': 'html5' },
                  { 'type': 'flash', src: '{PLUGIN_PATH}/includes/js/mediaplayer/player.swf' },
                  { 'type': 'download' }
                ],
                'autostart': '{PLAYER_AUTOPLAY}',
         -->>       'provider': 'http',
                'backcolor': '{PLAYER_BACKGROUND}',
                'plugins': {
                        'viral-2': {
                                'onpause': 'false',
                                'oncomplete': 'true'
                        }
                },
                'controlbar': '{PLAYER_CONTROLBAR}',
                'skin': '{PLUGIN_PATH}/includes/js/mediaplayer/skins/{PLAYER_SKIN}/{PLAYER_SKIN}.zip'
        });
</script>

But it is still not working... any ideas?
