The 770 streamed with VideoCenter very well, smooth and clear for the whole 22 min broadcast. Both the N800 and N810, running 2008Os, are NOT watchable after a mere 5 minutes. And I am using media player. Mplayer (rc1.26....) is even worse. How many times I have done it, close to 12 times.

There are serious problems in streaming video signals on 2008Os.

Good news or bad news first?

I tried your Katie stream.

Good news: You forced me to watch Katie Couric. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Bad news: Video center Couric stream unwatchable with
Media player after just a few minutes.

More Good News: Katie played very well with my N800 OS2008 Video Center using
mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.27. Smooth sailing, no stutter. After 14 minutes
audio delay was slightly off (default audio delay with
mplayer is 200 ms). With OSD I quickly changed that to 0 ms and all
was well again. I also watched may 2nd stream. Similar results.
No need to change audio delay. Very good streaming quality.

When I played downloaded Katie stream both Media Player and
mplayer worked very well.

My Video center settings: Player External, command line /usr/bin/mplayer -cache 1024 %s

Perhaps this is because .27 has better AAC audio handling than
previous versions and Katie is using AAC.

Try .27. Perhaps it changes your life. Works for me.
