Hi,

I use several sites like bbc.co.uk to watch tv news programmes. I would like to do this on my 5550 but the pocket realplayer seems to only link to Realplayer's content (which is crap and not what I want).

When I select the links on the site to view streaming video in pocket IE (as I would do on my laptop on full IE) - all that happens is that a file gets downloaded and then nothing else - it won't start up in pocket realplayer :cry: .

Has anyone found out how to stream content that requires realplayer on WM2003? I have the latest pocket realplayer from the 5550 CD.

Is this just something that this software just can't do? :evil:

Thanks for your help.

How do you play RP video files directly from a SD card? The RP web site says that you have to drag files into the My Documents folder, but this is unworkable because the Pocket PC would then need enough available memory for all of the RP files you want to view. Is there a way to avoid this step and view the files after transferring them directly onto the SD card from the PC?
