I apologize if this was previously mentioned. I have everything installed correctly and I'm able to stream video. My problem is I'm on a 1x network and the latency/buffering makes watching hard to enjoy (it's choppy). I read somewhere that there is a hack to make streaming faster/smoother? Does anyone know how to do this?

Just to clarify, AFTER you hit save as, you are taken to a screen that says "'download the xxx kb file 'get_video.flv" and at the bottom, the softkeys are assigned to "YES" and "Menu" Under 'menu' is where the "no" option, as well as the "save as" options are located...

Does THIS work for you?

Thanks,

Matt!

Your the Man KillerQ. I must have had a brain fart... Anyway got it to work. I never had noticed the "menu" option till you pointed it out. Thanks....

Has anyone had issues with TCPMP? When I 'killed' it in Task Manager, the screen went white and all the text faded out. I had to soft reset. Does TCPMP have to always run?

gotta read the thread!
at the bottom look for 'classic view'
thats what you want to click on to go to the regular version
then when you are at the regular version add it to your favorites so you wont be directed to the mobile site

Also, the installation should have placed a file called Video Sites. Open that and it will have a list. Click YouTube and it will give you the full page.

Hey, great stuff here. This works perfectly on my BlackJack!

I do have a question.

1.) It is possible to add other sites in the Video Sites? I myself am a game-a-holic and would love to watch stuff from Gametrailers, gamevideos, joystiq...etc.

I actually did edit the Video sites and added Gametrailers, but it doesn't work. I'm guessing it's a codec issue.

Keep up the awesome work.

Welcome to Everything Q!
