Question asked on Aug 9, 2013
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?
