How can I watch video clips posted on web?

Hi,
Please help me, my Aximx51 can not watch video clips that posted on web (eg video news on CNN, BBC...). When I click on video symbol on webpage news, there is no respond to the video clip. My ppc installed with Window Media Player 10. Do I need to install another media software to watch video clip on the web?

Thanks in advance for your recommendation.

You need to have the appropriate player plugin for the sites to play video.

Many use flash, others real media. Check which one the sites you're on are using and download the correct player.

Thank Mahstah,

I downloaded Realone Player for ppc, latest versin from www.real.com, installed it but it always say that "Please install Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1 or any later version before installing Realone Player" what does this mean and what I can do? My ppc using ActiveSync 4.2.

Thanks alot

It looks like Real Player only installs from a cab file on the X51v. There are instructions on their forum for getting the cab file and installing from it here.

"start installing
when you get the error message about your activesync version leave it , do not press ok
the setup has temporaryly put the install files in a temp file
if you press ok in the error message the files will dissapear
so leave it
when usin XP go to "c:\Documents and Settings\Windows username\Local Settings\Temp\~rnsetup\"
when using win98 go to "c:\windows\temp\~rnsetup\"
copy the "realplayer.cab" file
copy this to your pocketpc
you can open this file and it will install (but the cab will delete itself after install)
or open it with CabInstl a install utility for pocketpc's (google it if you do not have it, great prog. if you have cabs for your software you do not need activesync to install)"

An easier method to get the cab is to use WinRAR to extract the files from the msi or a freeware msi extraction utility like Less MSIerables. Get the cab, copy to device, and launch using file explorer on the Axim.

How can I watch videos from this site?

http://www.tv-links.co.uk/

From my home PC no problems but when I try and watch it on my X51v
and select one of the videos, it asked me to download

"Download the 14.1KB file "flvplayer.swf"

I did download it to my compact flash card but I still cannot view the
video from this site.

I would apprecitate someone giving this a try.
I was trying to watch the 1st Startrek Enterprise

.swf is a flash format. Some sites (such as YouTube) require flash version 9. The newest version released for PPC is flash 7, so those sites are incompatible.

Does that mean no go for x51v ?

Hello,

So bottom line, does that mean the X51V no way can watch these clips
on that site? Hard to believe there is no work around.

Thanks
Ken

That program appears to be for playing .swf files that you download, not for video embedded in websites.
