Orb will never recognize TCPMP as your default option, but that doesn't mean your Axim won't. Orb streams video in either windows media or realplayer formats. If you choose windows media, it will save a small playlist file, (I think asx) to your my documents folder, and by default, Windows Media Player will try to open that playlist file and start playing the streaming video.

However, if you make sure that asx files are associated with TCPMP (either by checking the setting in TCPMP, or using a tweaking program), when you click play in Orb's web interface, it will save the asx file to your PDA, and TCPMP will be the program that opens up, instead of Media Player. Does that make sense?
