Pocket PC 5.0 Emulator plays only audio

Folks,

I'm using the Pocket PC 5.0 Emulator to play a video file that is streamed from a Winodws Media Server but I only get the Audio and no Video.

Couple of Interesting observations though

1. If I store the file on the Emulator file system, it plays the video file without any problem
2. I can see the video on an Acutal device (Dell X50).

Now, is this is known issue. If so any workarounds or patches I need to install

Thanks in advance
Uday

    What is the connection type you are using to reach to Media Server (ActiveSync or NE2000 emulation) Also what version of VS and emulator do you have installed It seems possible that the bandwidth of the connection is too low so video is being dropped in order to keep up with the stream.

    Thanks,

    Vladimir,

    Thanks for your reply. I'm using VS 2005 RC and Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator (latest).

    The connection type is ActiveSync and the protocol is MMS. I seriously doubt if it is the bandwidth because firstly its a LAN connection (T1 lines) and secondly the same video works fine on the desktop and the actual device (Dell X50) using the same connection Type.

    Thanks,
    Uday
