8.4 Using Streaming Media
Streaming Media lets you stream live broadcasts or on-demand media content
from the Web. The media is sent in a continuous stream to your phone and is played
as it arrives, along with the audio.
The Streaming Media program allows you to play
3GP and MPEG-4 files. It also
supports playback of SDP (Session Description Protocol) files.
To access streaming content via the Web browser
Using the Web browser on your phone, you can open a Web page containing RTSP
(Real Time Streaming Protocol) links to streaming media content then play the
content in the Streaming Media program.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the
Internet tab and tap Launch Browser.
2. In the address bar, enter the URL address of the Web page that contains the
RTSP link to the desired *.3gp, *.mp4, or *.sdp file.
3. On the Web page, tap the RTSP link.
4. Streaming Media then automatically opens and starts playing the file. During
playback, use the slider and button controls to play/pause, fast forward, view
the video in actual size, expanded size, or full screen, and more.
To stream media files directly on the Streaming Media Player
Streaming Media only supports RTSP links when you stream *.3gp and *.mp4 files
directly on the program.
1. Tap
Start > Streaming Media, or from the Home screen, slide to the
Programs tab and then tap All Programs > Streaming Media.
2. Tap
Menu > Connect.
3. Enter the complete RTSP link, and then tap
Connect. Streaming Media starts
playing the file.
4. During playback, use the slider and playback control buttons to play/pause,
switch to full screen, fast forward, and more.
