Music streaming works (pretty) well --- but video streaming is a mess.

I tried to stream a standard xvid and divx files --- and I get the audio but just a black screen.

So, for starters - has anyone been able to actually stream video from their home network through the media player on the n900?

And, if so, can you give me any tips.

Thanks.

I am streaming video every hour with KMPlayer and smooth like silk. Try WorldTV99 and set player to ossomediaserver, the built-in player or mplayer.

Just for fun I was trying the YouTube mobile site http://m.youtube.com and its videos open in the media player. Streaming worked fine there.
However, http://www.youtube.com/xl is a much nicer YouTube browser interface for Maemo.
