Hi All!

I've been browsing for a few weeks and finally got my N800 a couple of days ago. I already own a GPS unit and if I need a keyboard that bad I'll get a BT one that I'm sure will be more comfortable to use than the one on the N810.
So instead of waiting I went out and got my N800 and boy am I pleased!
This is one great device! not just for what it is and what you can do, but for the possibilities it represents. The future's looking bright for mobile internet!

so on to my questions.

I've tried accessing both the audio and video streams over at bbc.co.uk and neither will work. Mplayer either just refuses to start playing the file or it says 'unable to perform the operation, try again'. am I missing codecs or something? Also if I install another media player will the N800 automatically update the file associations?

My second question relates to video too. I've got a number of divx movies on my WinXp box which I am sharing with orb via Media Streamer. However I just can't seem to get them to play. Any ideas?

Lastly (and I suspect I know the answer to this) has the whole calendar sync with Outlook issue been solved yet?
If it hasn't, is there a way to perhaps sync Outlook with Google calendar and then to GPE?
I know I could just use Google on the tablet but I want a calendar that's available when I'm offline.

I'm sure I'll have more questions soon!

Thanks for reading my post.

See this thread for a few options along these lines.

Hi,

Glad u like your n800.

With regards to BBC all I can tell you is it should work with the built in media player. I dont know which specific areas you are trying to access but on my n800 it works like a charm (sorry)

You do need to launch the files into media player from the site? If you already are then I am stumped as to why it isnt working. BBC also do offer a sh*t load of good podcasts which may work for you, I manage them with video center.

Sorry I cant be more helpful, your issue sounds like it needs support from a techie guy, but dont give up as bbc does work!!!

Cheers.

Thanks, I ended up flashing my N800 last night and a lot of Vidz that wouldn't play before now do. However the bbc still isn't playing ball. whenever I load up a clip from their site Media playe fails with an Unsupported resolution error.
Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks

I also get an "Unsupported Resolution Error" when trying to view video on the BBC on my N770. The only video I've managed to watch so far, was on the Cbeebies website, when i tried to load a video for my niece, and even then it didnt play very well. I havent tried to watch video from other sites, so i dont have anything to compare it to or even know if video streams well to the N700.
