Guest WILBUR Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I've got a persistent issue when streaming live video from the BBC news site... (same for 5live audio) over WiFi 1) go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_66...p=wm&news=1 2) click "launch in standalone player".... starts playing in WMP - great. when mobile using HSDPA/3G, WMP launches but just shows "connecting" and the content never starts playing. However i have a workaround that also works.... I go back to IE and launching the "Sports News Bulletin" - which is VoD content rather than live content - once this has started playing, which it always does, i can then go back to the news 24 player and try again, whereupon it always works. can anyone explain what is happening....

Guest ginnermark Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 You could try these links - copy them into Pocket IE and they will launch the video in WMP PS I think the forum displays the links with shortcuts (..) in them - you'll need to right click and "copy shortcut" to see them properly... http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n2...o/news24_bb.asx is the full broadband stream - works over WIFI really well (and sometimes over 3G) and http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n2...o/news24_nb.asx is the narrowband stream, might be more suitable for general mobile use. Oh, this is the weather http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/summarie...ather_uk_nb.asx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Looby Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 After playing I find they are in 'My Playlists' in Windows Media Player . I did copy them to a PC first and then transferred them to my Smartphone. Really good. I don't know if this helps at all..looby :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Subliminal Aura Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n2...o/news24_bb.asx Worked great at home but not on the move I don't seem to see why media player could not handle this stream as its not in the megabit bandwidth range ? :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n2...o/news24_nb.asx http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/summarie...ather_uk_nb.asx Copied these to my documents will give them a try on the way home tonight. Couple from me. LBC which worked but Nick Ferrari is in OZ this week so I turned off this morning. http://meta.as34763.net/content/12.asx Haven't tried their 1152AM version but again very easy to rip out of the HTML.

Guest Subliminal Aura Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 This seems like a good site as it's ppc friendly. http://www.pocketpcmedia.nl/index_en.php3 but it might just be recorded content. I'll try it later on. SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
