One can watch ANY internet TV/videos in many ways. I would like to summarize the way I did it and hope to learn more from your experience.

a) VCURLs72: This works on 770 and N8x0, running either 2007He or 2008Os. I just upload a file of 72 TV channels, primary.db.zip.deb here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=18769. This is different than the earlier 93WorldTVs. They are NOT the same materials. You can dl the primary.db file and expand in a PC and then replace your own /home/user/videocenter/primary.db with this one WARNING: make a back up copy of your own primary.db first if you want to see it again. Or you can browse the file with sqlitebrowser and add the channel one by one by yourself.

Quality of streaming internet videos on 2008Os may NOT be satisfactory, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=19747. dl a copy and then watch always gives the best results. Again, media player seems to render the video slightly better than mplayer. However, mplayer seems to be able to stream better. Finally, "video format not support" is a blatant lie. When you see this error statment, just dl the copy and it will render.

three players on VC:
1) built in media player
2) external player
- mplayer: VC>Tools>Settings...>Player>External: /usr/bin/mplayer -cache 4096 %s
- kmplayer: VC>/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.kmplayer /com/nokia/kmplayer com.nokia.kmplayer.mime_open string:"%s" (credit to qwerty12)

b) RSS feed reader: add VC URLs into the feed and click the title of the feed. Also works on 770 running 2007He.

c) WorldTV99 using kmplayer:http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=19044. The latest edition shows a description of the TV channels. And again, you do not have to type in those channels, just dl the file 99TV4IT8d.m3u.txt and open it with kmplayer, you are watching world TVs.
Again, kmplayer includes ossoplayer and mplayer. My experience osso-player (media player) renders video much better than mplayer. However, if osso-player fails, I would switch to mplayer.
Works on 770/2007He somewhat, not smooth though.

VideoCenter and RSS feed reader are the same channels, either one is good enough. They are all USA channels. WorldTV99 is different. It has some USA channels, but they also include Asia, Europe, MiddleEast etc.

The VCURLs72 and the WorldTV99 are different channels and different contents. You should have both. They are not the same materials.

Finally, I want to have feed back or tips how other users are doing with their videocenter/RSS feed/worldTV. There are way too many parameters in optimize the players. Please share your experience.

This thread should be open for discussion of ALL internet streaming TVs/videos, tips, sources, or headaches .


Thanks.


Edit: Just test on KDE358, everything works, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...519#post189519, and you have one more option, smplayer

Edit: when using mplayer, one can control AV sync problem with keyboard +, +100ms, and -, -100ms AV delay.


Edit: Just upload a more refined version of VCURLs72, primary3.db, feedback is greatly appreciated. Download from link at my signiture,
