Dear Sir.
My comp. specs: 1gig RAM, 220gig hard drive spare, XP Home, fully legal! And Windows Media Player 11. It plays small videos fine - I can go to YouTube etc. and play the lot. But if I go to a streaming site like WorldMade Channel, I can't play the TV stream. The individual videos, yes. No problem. The actual TV stream - no. I get the Windows Media Player logo, nothing else. Any ideas, anyone? Chrisulrich |

Dear Allan.
Thankyou for the heads up on VLC - I confess I had never heard of it before you told me about it. But it all seems to be for downloaded videos. I'm sorry I'm such a dumbass with these things which'll probably be so obvious to you - how do you make VLC play STREAMING video, like online TV? It'll play videos from Google fine, but you do have to rip 'em off the site first - I can't find a way to make them play via VLC online. And again, I can't see how to make it play online TV - shall we play 'spot the idiot' at this point!?! Chris |

Look in Chapter 3, page 13 for setting up streaming video. |
