I was wondering if anyone has been able to stream real media videos from bbc news or sport website successfully? i was hoping to be able to watch news clips or watch the odd sports coverage eg australian open tennis, but when i open the stream links in real player, only sound works but no picture.
can anyone enlighten me?
It's an interesting one; I found it very hit & miss and haven't tried for a while. There doesn't seem to be a reason for why it works some times and not others.
I finally got this working after a long period of messing about with firewalls, network settings etc.
Using your N95, go to the bbc main page (full desktop version), then news, then watch bbc news 24. In the preferences, pick standard (NOT high) quality, realplayer, and it should open with video. You can then save the link so you can access from the gallery.
The quality isn't that great compared to "high" quality, but it's good enough for catching up with the news or sport...
cheers, i'll give that a shot.

Then, of course, there's the infuriating business of having to go deep into the RealPlayer settings to set the access point, because there isn't an "always ask" option.
i noticed this started to work with v20, was able to stream BBC Radio from the site.
