Well, can you tell something about the performance of VLC on 770?? I did some tests with the Familiar Linux version of VLC on an iPAQ 3900 series (I do not remember the exact version right now...). The basic test was to reproduce a video, stored in the device itself, and the performance was terrible. The video was not displayed continuosly. There were delays of 3 to 5 seconds for updating the image. I did not tried to playback network streams. If playback of local files performed so poorly, i believe that reproducing network streams will not be better...
Well, the question is: should I spend some more time trying to compile VLC for 770 or do I will have also problems with performance??

I have been successful at cross compiling VLC for the N770. Though
its not for the faint of heart. Shortly I will post some instructions
on how to do this, or maybe I will redo it for Maemo 2.0... . There
is someone that has some instructions for cross compiling VLC 0.7 I
believe here:
http://n770galaxy.blogspot.com/
Then you can easily take the plung into 0.8.4a ;-)
As well if you search the mailing lists people have had success with
mplayer using the Zaurus packages.
You can even stream to mplayer using something like this.
Assuming you have VLC streaming some video file on another machine to
the location http://192.168.66.199:8001/blah.avi
/var/lib/install/usr/bin/wget http://192.168.66.199:8001/blah.avi -O -
| mplayer -cache 8192 -
Sorry I could elaborate further on any of these since I am getting
ready for a presentation to a local LUG that I attend. The
presentation will be on the 770 of course... ;-)
