Hi, this is my first post believe it or not.

So: Hello Everyone.

This is the issue:

I use Media Player on my computer to access a Turkish Soccer TV Channel (Subscription Based). Since I purchased a T-Mobile branded Magician, and a WiFi SD Card, I would like to be able to watch it on my PDA, as well.

First problem: Media Player is trying to use the free space on the main memory to buffer. Therefore I get "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation." Also, when I am able to see video, it freezes every 2 seconds.

Second problem: I was not able to find any place to change buffer settings.

Question: How can I change these to enjoy high quality (367 Kbps) video on my PDA, for personal enjoyment and show off to others. Also, how can I configure the media player to use the free space on the SD not main memory?

Thank you.

You do NOT want to use your SD cards memory for this..

The reason?

You have about 5 to 10 thousand write operations before the storage "cell" on the SD card is "worn out"..

Well, you do the math..
367kbps is a lot of data, many RW operations..
It would kill your SD card after a "short" time..

The only way to solve this is by using the RAMDISK patch, and use that as buffer memory..
If this is doable, I'm not sure..

Your other option is installing the translated 2003SE ROM, it has WMP10..

I couldn't find the patch on the ftp server. Could you tell me under which directory it is located?

Thank you.

Should be under the WM2005 directory..
I don't have access to port 21 right now, so I cant confirm anything..
Search for "RAMDISK" and "BUZZ"...
Then you'll find the files and instructions..
