Streaming Media

Streaming Media lets you stream live broadcasts or on-demand media content from the Web. The media is sent in a continuous stream to your device and is played as it arrives, along with the audio.

The Streaming Media program allows you to play 3GP and MPEG-4 files. It also supports playback of SDP (Session Description Protocol) files.

To access streaming content via the Web browser:

In a Web browser such as Opera Mobile, you can open a Web page containing RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) links to streaming media content then play the content in the Streaming Media program.

1.From the Home screen, slide to the Internet tab, and then tap Browser.

2.In the address bar, enter the URL address of the Web page that contains the RTSP link to the desired *.3gp, *.mp4, or *.sdp file.

3.On the Web page, tap the RTSP link.

4.Streaming Media then automatically opens and starts playing the file. During playback, use the button controls to play or pause the stream, switch to full-screen mode, rewind, and fast forward.

To stream media files directly on the Streaming Media Player:

Streaming Media only supports RTSP links when you stream *.3gp and *.mp4 files directly on the program.

Note Before you launch the Streaming Media program, make sure that you are connected to the Internet.

1.Tap Start > All Programs > Streaming Media.

2.From the program, tap Menu > Connect.

3.Enter the address for the website (rtsp://) and the file name.

4.Tap Connect.

5.Streaming Media then starts playing the file. During playback, use the onscreen button controls to play or pause the stream, switch to full-screen mode, rewind, and fast forward.
