Error when viewing MM files on Internet

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

Hi,

I have an HP iPAQ 5550 Pocket PC with WMP version 9 and OS is Windows CE
4.2 (As viewed via the asset manager) Not sure where else to view my PPC's
OS version

I can view most of my multi-media files on the Pocket PC but as soon as I
connect to the Internet wirelessly and browse to an accredited PPC website
and try to view multimedia files, I receive the following error "Windows
Media Player cannot play this file" This happens in ALL cases.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanx
jb

Hi Neil,

When I used the term accredited I meant any website designed for PPC. For
example , there is an icon on the top left of the media player screen which
takes one to Windowsmedia.com - all links on the page produce the same
results "Media Player cannot play this file. This happens if I am connected
wirelesly or via the USB synch station

Thanx, Johnny

OK sure, but you understand, most of us don't have this problem, or
the newsgroup would be filling up with the same request !

So you have to tell us *where* the websites you are looking at are,
we're not mind readers ;-))

Cheers - Neil

You don't have to be mindreader, just be a mailreader my mail specified a
website W I N D O W S M E D I A . C O M . One site as an exsample is
sufficient.

'The site' now? Does that mean it has only been this one site that has
caused you problems?

All people are trying to do is to clarify your issue, this helps in trying
to sort out just what the cause is, whereas petulance doesn't help much in
reaching a resolution.
