Question playing video from the web

I have a new 3Xi and am enjoying browsing the internet with it. I have had some success watching video clips, but have problems with others.

I am able to download mpeg files and play them with PocketTV, but when I try to watch a wma or real player file, my screen shows up filled with computer code.

HELP!

Is there a tutorial on this or can someone give me any tips?

Thanks

Hi - can you tell us where the video you are trying to watch is coming from ?

The computer code you see might come to look like that because the web server which the file is hosted on might be mis-configured.

Web servers have to be set to provide send specific content types to the browser for eg video.

If they dont do it right, its likely they will default to text/plain which means all that lovely digital data becomes a mush of unreadable characters rather than a stream of music or video.

If you have a few web addresses I can check them out and see what turns up,

Cheers - Neil.
