But at lest I read and discussed his actual question instead of answering something unrelated and then derailing his topic. And telling him there seems to be no sign of an answer for his question at least gives him an idea that he's not alone and this is a genuine mystery. That was more helpful than telling him nothing that had anything to do with the question.

even tho there is a youtube app on the Touch Pro, HTC streaming media works when you go to m.youtube.com

and tinytube.net uses it

I was just wondering this today. Maybe we can google rstp addresses, put them in there and see what happens.

I can't imagine it would do anything that WMP/TCPMP/Youtube app/Orb cannot do.

*rtsp* is a real time streaming protocol.
The streaming media app is meant for the mobile version of Youtube (m.youtube.com, which uses h.264 and rtsp, rather than straight Flash), and that's that. if you need an app that streams mp3/asf/mms/aac/pls/wma and other audio streaming protocols then you have to look elsewhere to CorePlayer, Pocket Tunes (pTunes), GSPlayer (free), Win Media Player and so forth.
Of all i've mentioned, CorePlayer is my recommended favourite.

The C-ApSRO app works great for XM, I have XM in the vehicle and have logged in and the audio is in time and conjunction with the unit feed. I can also say that MARC GUNN's website which as a podcast of celtic music plays when I bring up his page and select the streaming feed..

The Sprint Touch Pro User Guide says that you should be able to click on RTSP links and it should launch Streaming Media Player. (like from m.youtube.com)

When I click on such links in Opera Mobile 9.5 or IE Mobile, nothing happens. I can copy the URL, open the Streaming Media Player manually, paste the URL, and then it will play just fine.

Does anyone know why my browsers don't call up Streaming Media Player like it should, and what I can do to correct this?

Thanks!

Solved my own question.

For some reason RTSP links were not set to be handled by Streaming Player.

For some reason ObigoSvc.exe was set instead of the proper player.

Used Regedit, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, rtsp, Shell, Open, Command, Default, Changed String to "\Windows\StreamingPlayer.exe" %1

Works now.

Is there anyway to get the Streaming Media Player to show videos zoomed in or in full screen by default?
