Streaming Media app for touch pro.

I was wondering if anyone was able to mess with some of the apps that come standard on the pro from sprint. 1 in paticular is the streaming media app. Anyone figure this out. I want to be able to stream radio stations since we do not get the fm radio. Any idea how to get this to work? Step by step instructions would be great as I am sure it will help others.

On the touch pro there is already an app for you tube. What I am trying to do if it can be done is stream a radio station and trying to figure out how to with the streaming media app.

Same here. I have opened the streaming media app once, then realized I didn't have an address to enter into it and closed it ha ha. All the streaming sites I go to open in Windows Media player (well, now they open in TCPMP).... So, I don't know what good the stream app does??

Yep, that works, but launches Windows Media Player (at least on mine). The OP (and I) would like to know why / how to use the Streaming Media app that comes with the phone. It wants an address of rtsp:// if you click connect in the app. I don't know if there is any advantage to using this rather than TCPMP or Windows Medai Player???

you should be able to use orb (www.orb.com) to stream radio (xm sirius radio) and pretty much anything u have on a computer.

but a question i have is if u have a subscription to xm or sirius and u log in onto their site will u be able to listen to their radio via their site like u would be able to on a computer or do u need something to convert that stream?

theres several local radio stations near me that provide live streams of the station online i would also like to know can u navigate to those sites and just listen to the stream or do u need something like orb to convert the stream?

Sorry, OP, looks like nobody wants to actually read and comprehend your question. Plus I honestly don't think any of us have figured out how to use that darn program. I think it's actually what's used internally for the video player that runs when you're using the HTC Album, so the fact that there's an icon for it at all may be incidental. But obviously it looks like it's there for a reason, and its name suggests a certain purpose, but I have yet to figure out how to make it do anything useful.
