I'm not sure if its just the way they are set up but I wasn't able to directly stream media files from my PC. Basically, File Explorer wouldn't open the file directly.

I did manage it though by creating a shortcut on my Axim to the media file on my PC. I did it like this:-

Go into File Explorer and access the shared folder on your PC where the media file resides

Tap and hold the file > select "Copy"

Access any local folder you like on your Axim

Tap and hold > Select "Paste shortcut"

Tap the shortcut to open it and Media player should launch and stream the file.

In this way you could build a whole folder of shortcuts which point to the files on your PC.

HTH
