Settings

In playback view, select More > Settings to access the following options:

Display tab

Default view – select if you want video clips to open in portrait or landscape view.

Size – video clips intended for larger displays will always be scaled down to fit within the screen of the phone. If you select Fit to screen, videos that are smaller than the phone’s screen will also be stretched to use as much of the screen as possible, without changing the aspect ratio.

Buffering tab

Media buffer – controls the amount of data that is saved before playback of a stream begins. Normally you would use the default setting. Selecting a higher setting can improve playback, at the expense of higher memory usage.

Cache – cache memory is used to temporarily store streaming video so that data does not have to be downloaded again if you rewind and watch a clip again. Select Clear cache to free up memory.

Proxy tab

Use the Internet settings unless you have instructions from, for example, your operator or company IT department to use manual configuration.

Online

Online contains the streaming media links that you have saved from within Video or Music. Media links may also have been preloaded by your operator. Select a link and tap Open link, or select More > New link and enter the Web address. You must enter the full path to the streaming content.
