Experiencing Multimedia 207
The Streaming Media program allows you to play 3GP and MPEG-4 files.
It also supports playback of SDP (Session Description Protocol) files. An
SDP file is a text file that contains the format, broadcast times, media
content, and other information about a live broadcast, or it may contain a
playlist and links to prerecorded media files if you are viewing on-demand
streaming media.
To access streaming content via Internet Explorer
In Internet Explorer, you can open a Web page containing RTSP links to
streaming media content then play the content in the Streaming Media
program.
1. Tap Start > Internet Explorer.
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 button controls to play/pause, zoom in or
out, adjust the sound volume, and more.
To stream media files directly on the Streaming Media
Streaming Media only supports RTSP links when you stream *.3gp and
*.mp4 files directly on the program.
Note Before you launch the Streaming Media program, make sure that you are
connected to the Internet.
1. Tap Start > Programs > Streaming Media.
2. From the program, tap Connect.
3. Enter the URL for the Web site (rtsp://) and the file name.
Alternatively, if you already accessed RTSP links before, you can simply
tap an RTSP link in the History list to play previously viewed content.
4. Tap Connect.
5. Streaming Media then starts playing the file. During playback, use
the button controls to play/pause, zoom in or out, adjust the sound
volume, and more.
