Hi all. I searched and couldn't come up with something that addressed my
issue. so here it is:

We are running WinCE 4.20 (all latest QFEs installed), and we're trying to
make a multimedia build. However we're having some real issues trying to play
WMV files. They play nicely for about a minute, but suddenly they start
freezing-resuming, freezing-resuming. MPG and AVI files play absolutely fine,
only WMV files seem to display this behavior.

We're on a custom x86 board with 256 MB ram, running at 300 mhz. Using this
hardware with XP embedded WMV files work fine, but when on CE 4.20 it just
doesn't.

Any clues?
