Hi, I have been reading this site for some time and recently got an n800 (actually from someone on this forum) with the expectations of running videos through orb onto it. I have not been able to do so. I have been running into what seems like a common problem of resolution error messages, and buffering leading to nowhere or having to reduce the bitrate to very low levels to the point where its not worth anything. Has this problem been solved or is it still unkown?

Here is what I have tried/thought of so far:

I have told orb to stream video in realplayer format to my n800, I have installed k-lite mega code, real player, and real alternative on my computer and have tried all codecs on the orb software of my pc (ffdshow, dscaler cyberlink and some nero ones I dont think belong there---there is no codec in the configuration dialogue, advanced tab of the orb on my pc for any real player codec).

I have a amd 5600 64, windows mce, 2 gigs of ram and a 10mb internet connection. I have opened all three ports described in orb's port forwarding help page. I am able to stream my files to my pc using the real player format and they play fine. I have the most up to date version of the n800 os. the only way I can watch the videos is at about 30kb bitrate (the default is 160) which is useless. at any normal bitrate I get resolution errors, or just a failure to load by all of my different n800 apps, canola, media streamer and media player.

Is there any player that can let orb stream with asx format? is there some way to make orb use a realplayer codec on my pc's end (i don't get how it sends real files to the n800 without a real codec listed in the advance-codec tab)? is there any other way to send video to my n800 while im on the go?

i know this is alot, esp for a noob but any help is appreciated.
