playing movies and music

[pdoan_98]

Is there a way to play movies or music other using Zune software? I would like to upload movies to my skydrive account and play on my lumia 710 phone. When I try it tells me my phone can not play that file type. Yet, if I upload using Zune, my phone will play the file just fine.

Any ideas???

Check out Plex in the marketplace. You can stream from your computer.

SkyMusic will play all the music on your SkyDrive. Works really well.

I think that's about the only good thing Zune brings to the party, when you transfer the files using it, it handles to conversion to a readable format, and iirc, it can convert almost any format. Whereas streaming from the SkyDrive, will maintain the original format, which Zune may not be able to play. Don't quote me on that though lol.
