hi, i ve got a XDA1 and am trying to watch tv on internet but most of them need wmp 9 or java plugin what can i do for this. thanks
is there any program for ppc like real1 at nokias
check this:
http://www.pockettv.com/
if you upgrade to 2003 then you get mp9
but i'm not sure if it works with streeming as i've never tried it
nor would i ever try it using something as slow as grps

Actually I am using 2003 and use Windows media encoder 9 on a computer at home to broadcast my tv at a very watchable bit rate. I wouldn't suggest using it to watch anything with lots of action but for news or your typical sitcom it is great.
does the tv get streemed to the pda using GRPS ?
if so then wow
Yeah it is streamed through GPRS. Don't get me wrong... it's by no means perfect, but I have no problems watching it. Sometimes when there is not a real good signal it my buffer a few times but other than that I have had no probs.
I use microsoft enconder too, but use on my bluetooth network and it works quite well at 109kb and 148kb. Will be buying a wifi card soon should be able to get it to stream at least at 548kb.

I have a serious problem with orb/wmp
when I try to stream a video over 3g I recieve an error from orb saying that windows media audio and video are not supported by the Player!
when I use WMP it simply gets stuck and says paused.
I REALLY love Wm6 but I also REALLY love orb.
does anyone have any ideas? more importantly has anyone been able to get this combo working?
when Im off this week I will pull the registry from my wizard and try to compare the entries for WMv and windows media audio but some of those entries are cryptic.
I CAN get orb to work over WiFi
if you have this working over 3g please PM me a copy of your registry if possible.
TCPMP version .71 and .72 rc2 have this problem,.
Also I tried going through the source code for tcpmp, but there is no notation in the source so I gave up on that end plus I dont have the WM6 sdk anyways.
/** I can also confirm that Conduits pocket player simply hangs when attempting to stream 3-3-07

I have been able to get Orb working with both WiFi and 3G and EDGE. I am sorry I do not know how to copy my registry. here is what I have been able to figure out. I have Cingular, so I have switched my connection to isp.cingular from wap.cingular and I have enabled the network on Windows Media Player for WiFI/Lan 1.0 mbps or more, those are the only changes I have made and it is working really well. I have Core Player but have never been able to get it to work with Orb.
thank you cvbesq post # 15
if anyone else can please confirm this, I have an ANR line and do not have access to isp.cingular

I am able to confirm that WMP under XDA Live .20 will play both audio and video through orb. The Proxy must be disabled and a udp port seems to be required under options.TCPMP is still giving the same error as before.
thank you all who contributed. the next thing that needs to be corrected is tcpmp.

a possible fix for Slingplayer is here

please let me know if it works

the above fix seems to work for sling player but not for TCPMP.
I'm baffled by this too, however I can't say that I'm terribly disappointed as I've pretty much given up on trying to watch videos on the Hermes crab a long time ago.
you know I didnt really have a huge problem with TCPmp with 1.34 or 1.06 just a little lag which I corrected by changing a setting in TCPMP, however not being able to watch orb is a big minus which is almost made up by HTML email.
I (and others) are having a very similar problem with Slingplayer. Looks like some of the codecs have changed?
If I have time over the weekend, I was going to try cookng up a ROM with the older WM6 codecs that were in the Wizard's ROM, 'cause they seem to be ok.
Don't know if it'll work though....
Great idea! Let us know how that comes along
Maybe stupid question, but have you added the plugins to play other format files? If you haven't.. get them here: http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
this behavior exists in wm6 vanilla also but not in the wizard, I was able to use it on the wizard, u have to remember that the hermes uses an ati gpu so the wizard drivers may not work but try anyways! I personally think that the api must have changed.
This may be the same problem area as the SlingPlayer om WM6. If I understand correctly someone here has a Wizard with this working, could you be so kind and test out SlingPlayer on that same Wizard and see if it works. I am thinking the codecs may be here but not mapped correctly in the WM6 we have for Hermes since it was a beta after all.
Also incase anyone is looking for TCPMP in only a CAB install (I could only find the exe on google):
I do find it curious that it works with wifi, thats why I went through the networking source code but there is no notation and I am still a new code writer (it was probably above my head any way). I think its written in C++ if anyone wants to go through it the code is available at the link earlier in this thread. or the codecs may simply not be registered, which is why I think we should look at the roms from the wizard.
This is also the same problem in sling player.
I have posted this in many other places but it seems like no one uses orb WTF? how can you have a 3g Wm phone and not use orb!

So you are confirming the WM6 on the Wizard runs slingbox?
it worked with Orb, im afraid im not in the slingbox club lol.
Ok, I managed to find a few minutes to cook up a Hermes ROM with the Wizard's WMP files in it. Didn't work.
Tried to do the same using the WMP files from a Universal WM6 ROM (which I know worked with Orb and SlingPlayer). That didn't work either.
Next, I'll have to compare all the registry settings...I may wait until Kyphur's next release though, 'cause if it's already working with the newer base ROM, then I'll just be wasting my time by fiddling around with this one (and I have precious little spare time at the moment).
My ORB works but I can only get sound to play.. i've yet to see video on my wm6

which Wm6 rom are you using? Vanilla or XDA live? I cannot even get sound to work over 3g.

Watch out, if your not subscribed to PDAConnect plan and you change your apn from wap.cingular to isp.cingular then you will be charged per kb
As for orb, I have it working fine on WMP and XDALive. I think all I did was disable the medianet proxies and change the UDP port on WMP. It does go through Locating, connecting, paused for a brief setting then buffering and voila.
Ty Fone,
I know all about the PDA connect and do have that, but thx, what you did was essentially what I did to get it working.
I have had no problem using orb, as long as the proxy has been disabled.(using either vanilla or wxdl). But I can not get Sling player to work at all. The sling log shows an error with the audio codec....Man, I really miss my sling player....orb is just not the same

I just randomly chose port 1024 and disabled the auto speed detect process and set it to wi-fi/Lan.
Also forward the ports on your home router for orb so it will have a better upstream. Head over to portforward.com for help with that.
ive just installed webcam plus all runs ok on xda2 and on pc but it will not feed thru vid images all i get is a black screen with cam settings or it will just show my home page on xda,, any ideas? any thoughts? apart from delete it cheers

hey i have a query
I have a router soley for media streaming as such i have to assign static ips to every pc in the house connected to it
so far i have a ps3 4 laptops and 2 pc connected via wifi and i have one pc by ethernet. not including the server
the server isnt a specially made server its a dell precision 650 with 7 hdds in it and ive basically shared the root of the drives so the pc can share
is there a way to stream to my x10i?
i know theres an option for static ips so thats not an issue but bassically what i want is to be able to browse the pcs sharted drives from with in the phone and perhaps watch a movie ortv show like this
Set up a net server or ftp, probably better on ftp. Then when you've done that on the host and, if it is 192.168.1.101 then go to "ftp://192.168.1.101" then you'll get access to the root of each drive if it's set up right.
That's what I do
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
well i found an app called estrongs file explorer that lets me view stuff on my all im wanting now is the option to view avi files through it
Same here.
I have a MS MediaCenter running at home.
It also have an build in MediaServer. Im able to watch Movies or listen to Music with other streaming clients........
So finaly i want to stream the movies on my X10. But it looks like that there is no app for this. Dunno which one is able to get streams from a MediaServer.
Wasnt it DLNA which was improved / implented with the 2.1 Update?
Great shame that there is no way. Isnt it Arcos who already build an Android Media Player?
So if anyone knows a solution pls post it! Im realy waiting for it.

I've already asked the same question, maybe for christmas?
So now we got the update but still no way to stream videos?
Realy cant understand why.........
It looks like they finally fixed the issues with Splashtop HD and the 10.1. I want to know if anyone is using it and if so, how is it so far? I'm very close to buying it, but want to know for sure that it is working.
Splashtop Remote Desktop HD
"...** Validated for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Asus Transformer, Motorola Xoom, Acer
Iconia Tab A500, Acer Picasso, LG G-Slate, and others **"
I saw that in the market this morning. I'm curious if when you access your PC, if it does like other remote desktop type apps and actually shows on my screen at home when I'm away. I'd have to remember to turn my display off, but leave my cpu on if that is the case I assume.
I have it. works fine. I see almost no difference between it and the non-hd version though. hopefully they add all the features they have on the ipad soon.
Does it take up the full tab screen? Does it still change the resolution on the pc?
Has to be some reason for hd version.

So it doesn't support higher resolutions? I'm trying to decide between this one and Remote Desktop Client. It has great reviews.
I own it. It has the option to scale the screen to match the tab, or set it to 1280x720 to fit the tab. Works great, provided the computer is both on and logged in.
Unfortunately, on headless servers the software is useless because the client software requires a user to bbe logged in and active. When an RDP session ends, the software shuts down automatically and prevents login through Splashtop.

I have a similar setup where that issue affects me. I also wish it could zoom if you did want to use a higher resolution.
It is very fast, you could watch a movie from local network fine but with a little bit of delay.

yes, it does support higher resolutions.
The resolutions are
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1280 x 720
Best fit to this device
Native of the computer
So basically it does any resolution if you choose native of the computer.
Is there anyway to zoom using this version?

Good question - adding mine - any way to get it to rotate 180degs?

Any recommendations for this app? I've been using VLC for the past while, is this better?
I use this type of app numerous times a day to get info off my companies servers as well as use our company data software.
I have used this for the past 5hrs and im impressed so far. Works well. Maybe a little lag once in a while...but im assuming that's from spotty 3g service (tethered to phone).
I got this app yesterday so I could stream live TV from windows media center on my desktop. The video was surprisingly smooth. I would say it ran pretty close to 30 fps with some fps hiccups from time to time. The audio was great as well.
I haven't tried using VLC but if you're looking to watch other things than video files, this app works great. Other remote desktop apps come nowhere close to the video and audio performance of this one.
Ever tried 2X ?

What makes this better than free one like 2X ? Really would like to know.
Also I found a hack that lets windows home edition work like a terminal server which is saweet!
Even lets you connect console and have more than two users just like terminal server.
EDIT: ah I see now 2x won't play video over rdp... Window is black in player
Splashtop doesn't use traditional remote desktop protocol, it uses its own streamer that you install on the computer/server. I've never seen regular remote desktop or vnc server/client stream this well, especially with videos.
I have no experience with 2x but no video or black video window on client/secondary monitor is usually due overlay issues. Try changing video player setting away from overlay.
What kind of upstream connection do you guys have? Splashtop HD works amazingly well on my local network, but once I try using remotely I find it's performance leaves something to be desired. It works OK, but is generally slow and I wouldn't even think of doing any audio or video with it. My upstream is capped to around 100 kb/s or maybe a little higher, so I suspect that may be the issue.
Does anybody know of a solution that works better with such bandwidth constraints. I'd like to be able to remote in on my tablet and from my computer at work.
Splashtop is great on a LAN, but not as good over the internet. My cable (comcast blast) upload is ~3.7 Mbps at home, and the DSL download at work is 3 Mbps. And even then watching videos is not good. The audio portion is fine, the video portion is about 3 frames per second and less.
For watching video over the internet, Plex or Playon should be better. With Plex, you can adjust for your bandwidth. I think Playon detects your upload and adjust accordingly.
I couldn't get Plex to detect my server over the internet to test on my Gtab 10.1, works on a regular computer browser so it's not a firewall issue. Playon works fine for streaming. But I suspect your 100kbps could be problematic.
So between LogMeIn Ignition, 2X, Remote Desktop Client, and Remote RDP, which do you all recommend?
I plan to use it for repairing/diagnosing software issues from my house instead of having people bring me their computers.
I'm (generally) not that interested in watching video via remote desktop of any sort. It would be nice if I could use spotify from work sometimes though. Mostly I just want to have access to my appications (not to mention unrestricted internet access) on my home computer.
Hi Everyone,
I am googling for some time now but can not find easy solution to my problem.
I got some videos on my S3 (it is mainly about the ones (for the future) freshly recorded.
I would love to be able to stream them to my Windows 8 PC (Windows Media Player preferably) in order to show them to bigger public.
Example:
My Son was skiing first time today. I took some clips. later on at home every one wanted to see them. I had my Asus TF810c with 11" screen with me so it was obvious that it will be more comfortable for all to watch on bigger screen.
Both devices were on the same WiFi network (created by mobile router), I was trying to "play" with WiFi direct - nothing worked
Is there an easy way to do it?

Not an option.
On a slow broadband (in my case in weekend house we got 0,5 mbps gsm one) it would take ages to upload and ages to download.
I wanted to use local WiFI to do it.
Now I suppose the issue was with limited abilities of mobile router we were using. Just got home and on my landline broadband and stand alone router it worked like charm. S3 is visible as media server and in built in player there is option (once media are shared) to "scan for nearby devices" and pc is visible (in WMP is running). So playback can be started both from S3 (if WMP has "Allow for remote control" option on) and from WMP it self as S3 is visible as network library.
So again - it must be WiFi router fault I could not do it before.
SORTED! Close please!

You need to have options for Streamig Media enabled in your Windows Media Player. I think they are not on by default.
Once that is done, you should be able to see PC on your Android device as a device you can share your media to.
I no longer have S3 (to annoying device for me) as I got myself Lumia 920, so I can not provide you with mode retaild info.
But on Lumia it works in a very similar way.
Hi the easiest way I'd suggest is to use Airdroid.....its a simple app which lets you see everything on your phone through a web browser....provided you are connected via the same wifi network...
