Would help if you mentioned what OS/media player version you are using. That
stream plays fine on my ipaq with WM2003, WMP 9 (build 13100). The stream is
using WM9 codecs, so it probably won't play on anything less than WMP 9 on
Pocket PC.

Oops, sorry.

I have the problem on Dell Axim x30 (rom A05), Windows Mobile 2003 SE build
14260.2.0.2, Windows Media Player 10.

Yep, works fine here too (Dell Axim X3i with WM9)

Try going into WMP Options --> Network and setting your bandwidth to the
right bitrate. This video clip is about 100kbps, so if your network isn't
fast enough, only video keyframes or audio will play.

I have the same problem. I'm using Dell X50V. I think it is the problem of
adjusting buffer size. Is there any idea in adjusting the buffer size of WMP
of PPC?

I see a similar problem on the Siemens SX66 connected using Cingular GPRS @
33kpbs.

I tried a bunch of really low bit rate files but just see a blank screen
with the player saying that it is playing the video.

Thanks,
Rajat
