Greetings:


I am a member of livetv and when I use my desktop with Windows XP I can watch many different channels.

I've tried to use this website with my N800 and it is not compatible.

Can someone suggest a software or an upgrade that would make this Website work.

Here is the Live TV website for you to tryout: http://www.livetv.ws/


Regards Robert

Its because the N800 does not support Winblows Media Player format... wmv files.

Bummer ain't it...

If someone ports this little program, it'll be very easy and convenient:

And then you can play them through mplayer and not in a small browser window that takes up RAM and CPU

Except that mplayer does support wmv files the same mplayer that runs on the N800.

Sounds like your cache isn't big enough.

I actually am hoping to port MythTV's front-end to my N800. I think it would be ideal for this purpose, esp. if it would be possible to access the hardware acceleration provided by the CPU that Nokia chose to use (it includes acceleration for even upto h.264 at standard TV resolutions capable of 20fps!)

Trick of course is to find a way to use that acceleration. Based on what I've seen, there iis no app presently available that takes advantadge of it


Still working on getting myself a build enviroment here though, I am on the move without access to the 'net a lot, and got the N800 primarely for portability, so I am working on getting GCC, make, etc. compiled and working on it (I plan to release debs once I figure out how, still a noob :[ )

EDIT: see http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtb...contentId=4671

Hi Everyone,

My name is Donny, and I am the owner of LiveTV.ws. I had some time on my hands and found this forum thread while looking through the LiveTV.ws site referrals.

I am aiming to satisfy as large of an audience as possible. If anyone has any suggestions as to what format would be usable, I would be glad to add it to the LiveTV.ws website, allowing everyone here to be able to enjoy the free channels the site offers.

Thank You,
Donny
