Description
MediaPlayer should be able to play media from an InputStream.

The possible use cases are:
- a digital archive type application which plays from an encrypted storage
- a streaming video with custom encryption

This enhancement is related to JDK-8350281 where the logic which determines the type of media and whether it is supported by javafx should depend on the stream itself, not the file extension.
