ppc 2003 should handle the 48bit window media audio codec 9 (since it comes with windows media player 9) quite disappointed that there's no update for ppc2002 users.
an alternative url that should work for streaming is mms://ipaddr
ort this url will trigger media player to launch if it is being typed or clicked from pocket internet explorer.
I still wait for the day that streaming becomes simply a 1 step process. it's getting close but i would prefer to see some more friendly remote side control for those wanting to activate their streaming video when they're not at home =). I currently have to remote to my desktop using terminal services to do that. lol i have had to "clean" up my desktop just to make navigation abit easier from the ppc.
on a side note you should increase the buffer just to make the video streaming abit better. you end up with a delayed feed but it's better off especially on cartoons.
if you really want ease of use. wait till msn6 comes out for ppc (hopefully they will have webcam service) redirect your msn profile's webcam to your tv tuner and enable auto webcam upon chat (i think this is currently possible) there is like 0 delay comparable to that of existing voip services!
<sigh> i can't wait till i see the updated msn!
