Thanks, I already noticed that list. I haven't made myself clear. While the video player does play different formats from a file (e.g. on the memory card), when I try to stream that exact same format (using vlc or apache2 on the server-side and video-player->open stream on the nokia), the video player only gives that error message about unsupported format. Those streams play OK in xine or mplayer. The original poster described how he basically just served the real-video file by apache (with a little mime manipulation) and was able to open it as a stream, and I was wondering whether that works with any of the other file types which the player supports. If I serve an .avi file via the web server I can open that link with the Nokia's browser which downloads the entire file, then starts the video player which, in turn plays it just fine. If I try to open that same link directly via videoplayer->open stream I get "unsupported file type". Ultimately, I would like to watch recorded TV via mythstreamtv. The latter uses vlc do transcode on the fly (TV recordings are mpeg2 ps or ts) and stream it to the client. vlc doesn't encode real video, hence the question.

I tried to find the same info on Nokia's site but could only find a short list from their FAQ. One of my few complaints about the 770 is that it requires a lot of cut & pasting of URLs to get streaming A/V to work when it should just launch seamlessly when a link is opened in the browser. I've considered backing up and mucking about with the opera.ini a bit to see if I can improve it any. > > -Gary > > > Q: How do I use the video/audio player on my Nokia Internet Tablet? > > A: You can watch video clips stored on your device, compatible mobile > phone, or MultiMediaCard (MMC).
