[QUOTE="fcsobel, post: 69377, member: 16823"] I know very little about video formats but I think some avi formats will not play until you have the whole file pulled down so they are bad for streaming. When I open these with WMP10 they just sit there "Connecting...". I picked the smallest one I could find (~2MB) and it does work in WMP10 if you wait for it. It's the 2nd to the last post in the rss feed from lybsyn called [b]Microshaft Mini[/b]. [url]http://media.libsyn.com/media/hak5xvid/Hak5--MicroshaftMini--xvid.avi[/url] I don't know if this is a true limitation of the xvid format or just something evil from microsoft but if you cannot get them to work well in WMP10 they are probably not going to do well in MP. Some RSS readers download the content for you behind the scenes and then play after its downloaded. I could add that as an option. [/QUOTE]
