Clicking the play video link, produces the default graphic for not working. If I click and hold and try to save the video, I get a 1 kb file that seems to have nothing in it. If I tap and hold, and ask it to Open in the pop up menu, it starts Media Player, says it is connecting, and sits that way until I close the program.

I understand MPlayer is a solution. How to I get the option to open a streaming video from the browser? Must I download the video file first and if so, how do I do that?

Thanks in advance for pointing me to the answers for this.

However, in looking for music with mmpc, it seems to only have browsed one of my two cards, plus the MyDocs/.documents directory. I'll have to see what needs to be done to get it to browse both cards. There might be some command to select which specific directories I want to have scanned (as there is in Kagu). Anyway, many thanks. Jim
