I have a 'room' setup with several friends, who post pictures and occasional video clips, which get stored in my SkyDrive account.  I would like to be able to view these video clips from my phone but that doesn't seem possible.  Streaming doesn't work well at all.  It will play for a second or two, then pause for 20 - 30 seconds, then play a couple more, etc.  Hardly enjoyable.  So I figured when it was done struggling for 5 minutes to get through the video, there would at least be a temporary cache of that video file so I could press play and watch it properly, right?  No, it tries to stream again.  I am on a very fast 50mbps wifi connection so that is not the issue.

So, I figured I'd at least be able to download a file from my own cloud to my phone since it is compatible, right? No, it's grayed out.  Even videos that I uploaded myself are grayed out.

Is there something wrong, something I'm missing, or is this just a poorly designed system that will force me to run to a computer whenever I want to consume video media?
