Plug that into windows mediaplayer should work
It works great, but what is akamaistream.net exactly? It's frustrating that mobile browsing and video is nowhere near a desktop browsing experience, thus the need for little-known workarounds like this.

Also, how can I save this link to a playlist or favorite? When I tried "Save Playlist" I got an error saying "Cannot save the playlist because it contains one or more items that are not stored on your device or storage card." Pocket IE just gives an error and does not even try to launch media player, so no point in saving the favorite there... or is there a hack for that?

One last thing. That stream does not work right in full screen for some reason. It's like the Media Player controls go away, but the image stays the same size (doesn't stretch to fill the screen). If I uncheck "scale to fit screen" under Options it will take up the full screen and then some, so the sides of the image get chopped off. Any way to fix this?
