I'm using CorePlayer version 1.3.2 build 6909

I left out some additional info that might help some of you.

First, make sure you're not trying to stream at a bitrate your 3G connection can't handle. Within Orb's web interface not only change the streaming format to .pls but make sure you restrict the sream bitrate to something more manageable. I recommend setting it to 150k and working it up from there.

Second, within Coreplayer I found adjusting the video settings gave me better playback as well. From the menu, select Tools/Preferences. From the new window at appears select "Select Page"/Video. Change the video output to Direct Draw or Raw FrameBuffer. You can experiment for best results. Also from "Select Page"/Buffering, select the "Low Delay Streaming" check box.

Third, I recommend launch orb videos from Pocket Internet Explore. Launching videos from Orb within Opera caused crashes for me. Similar to what you guys have described.

You should be good to go... happy viewing and I hope this helps!
