Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to view vids on internet sites from a ppc.
If I click on a link nothing happens.

Is there anything I can install to allow vids to download/play?

I have a Hp HX7400 with a 1Gb CF card

Cheers

Which sites, where - what page are you referring to ? The built in
media player will play .wmv and .asf files (and .asx playlists) but
nothing else unless the device manufacturer has extended the player
capabilties.

It would help to know what you're trying to play ;-)

Hi , thanks for your reply.
Well basically every vid link of any type that I have clicked on so far has
not played.
but specifically vids at places like
http://www.big-boys.com/ or http://www.lemonzoo.com/ will not run.

I have real player on my ppc too and I can't get any radio from the bbc
site.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated

Cheers S

A lot of these sites are "java intensive" as they are tracking views.

Would suggest seeing if you could get the "final" url of one or more of
the wmv's and see if they will load in your ppc.

With respect to the "big boys" url, they process each request and feed
it as "content" so it's probably not going to be possible.
