8.5 Using Streaming Media

Streaming Media lets you stream live broadcasts or on-demand media content from the web. The media is
sent in a continuous stream to your phone and is played as it arrives, along with the audio.
The Streaming Media program allows you to play 3GP and MPEG-4 files. It also supports playback of SDP
(Session Description Protocol) files.
To access streaming content via Internet Explorer Mobile
In Internet Explorer Mobile, you can open a web page containing RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) links to
streaming media content then play the content in the Streaming Media program.

In the address bar, enter the URL address of the web page that contains the RTSP link to the desired
*.3gp, *.mp4, or *.sdp file.
