well I guess for me the Mac user, I'll be continuing on with Twonkyvision. Now if only I could get the Media Player to actually play those twonkyVision served files....

I have the same problem. I sent a service request in to Orb, and they asked me to upload the latest version but I still had the same problem. I will post any solutions from them.

My problem was "fixed" by running the Nokia Software Wizard again and flashing the N800. I was able to run Orb video and music on a clean install. As soon as restored my backup it stopped working again. :mad: Now I have to go through a process of elimination to see which program is causing the problem.

I should have posted this here, rather than another thread. i fixed it by simply rebooting the n800.

Has anyone been able to see photos or a slideshow in orb? Seems to load flash player but nothing happens. Video and audio work great...???

:) also,if for some reason,if all of a sudden it says it doesn't support that resolution in playback of video, just clear your browser of cache, and cookies, and it will work again...

In response to my "video resolution not supported", I did load up RealAlternative on the Orb PC and sure enough I was able to watch the movies I had on disk on the N800.

However, it would buffer for a few seconds, play for a few seconds, then buffer again (then repeat buffer/play sequence continuously). I had lowered my bit rate on the N800 to 90 (as someone else mentioned) and the upstream on my Orb PC was in the 322 range (basic DSL 384 up speed). Now that I have it working, I am open to suggestions about optimizing. Any suggestions?

I dropped my bitrate on the N800 to 77 and streamed Borat in widescreen with very little buffering over WiFi. Keep tinkering with the settings, the lower bitrate, the less buffering, but the less quality, as well, obviously. You've just got to find your balance.

How long in seconds have you set the buffer to? try 1 minutes worth of buffering!

good luck
