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.
Hey guys,
Just bought the Tablet s and have a few things annoying me, and would like some advice on other stuff.
1. Ive read everywhere that the WiFi is an issue with these tablets. After a few hours trolling the forums, i found advice on getting 2 apps to force the WiFi to stay connected (WiFi Fixer and WiFi Lock). i have found i am still having disconnection issues when these two apps ( along with the stock settings) are set to never turn off.
2. Im using DLNA to network the tablet to my pc via WiFi, and am using the PS3 Media Server to access my drives. i have no problems using the PS3 Media Server through my PS3 or through my PSP. the issue is that whenever i wish to watch a movie on the tablet, it says " This device cannot play this content" (beit MKV AVI or MOV). also just viewing pictures it wont load the picture properly, just a blurry low quality version of it. what would be the best way to network the tab to the pc?
3. Using the Media Remote i have found that once i have programmed in the buttons (learning from a device) it drops the learning and i have to re program the buttons (not all, maybe just a few). also is there a way to get the skins of the remote your programming instead of the basic remote it gives you?
4. How can i get the first page to be the main page that shows up after unlocking the tab? as it is business use and i dont want to have them see all the apps i have loaded when i unlock the screen to show them products
Thanks for your help, and yes, ill continue to troll the forums for answers!
Okay. Here are most of your answers:
1. I use Advanced Wifi Lock. Besides that change the wifi sleep policy in advanced (of wifi settings) to Never. Havent had a single problem since!
2. Not very good in this area. I suppose you need a better video player. Try moboplayer from the play store. You would need to download the codecs after installing the app.
Note: Dont expect to play 1080/720p videos across wifi!
3. Havent heard of the stock app forgetting the ir codes. Contact einschnaehkee in this thread ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324479 ) and request him for a beta of his perfect replacement to the stock sony remote app.
4. Use a more advanced launcher. Download ADWLauncher from the play store. Allows you to set the main home screen and choose which apps will appear in the drawer!
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...

[APP REQUEST] Car Security Video Recorder Surveillance
Good Morning Everyone!
I have spent a lot of time trying to find an app that meets the following requirements and so far just havnt been able to find anything close that works. Multiple apps are fine. I am mostly concerned with someone breaking into car and stealing stuff. I had origianl post all typed then lost it so im trying to recreate this but think im forgetting a few things.
I am planing to:
- Mount phone in car and conceal it permently or semi-permanently. (Access will be available but limited and difficult.)
- Hardwire for full time power.
- Not have cellular service so scanning and connecting to any open or known (such as the secured wifi at home) for cloud uploads/monitoring/etc... ( sugestions to improve the built in android wifi utility are welcome)
- Will not pay monthly service charges for any service, app, Web site, etc...
Features:
- Everything hands off/auto start apps/recordings upon system start.
- Start video record on any of following:
- motion detected from camera(someone breaks in)
- motion detected of phone/vehicle (someone steals car)
-Any Audio is detected (not expecting to be able to cover entire car or if some hits car exterior, etc.. )
- Delete oldest files if run out of storage before upload/sync completes.
- Cloud upload capabilities (Might be able to perform via other known methods but would like ability to split files based on specified file size if no cloud integration).
- GPS/Location tracking and recording. (Google location services will probably work if not integrated).
-Record Post video when record event is triggered.
-Bonus if user adjustable, say from 1-60 mins.
- Double Bonus if capable of buffering video to save specified length of video prior to triggered event. (Say if someone keeps walking by car trying to case out but motion didnt trigger or if someonw hits car would be nice to see prior few minutes of them driving down the road before impact.)
Nice added bonus:
-Event alarms: email is fine, text even better(using free text service). Pics attached even nicer.
-Remote control of device. Only while connected to local lan is ok.
-Ability to provide Live video/audio/location information if connected to wifi as long as the recordings do not get disturbed. (So i can check if i locked doors, windows are up, etc).
Hello wise people!
I've been searching for hours now and I can't seem to find any solution for this. Maybe here someone will be able to throw some light.
I am playing a radio on Chrome via URL, in an Android device that will go into a store so they can have some music. Problem is, on that shop, the internet signal is not good, even with cable.
I am trying to find a way to add a buffer to Chrome so it could download let's say, the next minute, so when the connection is down for a second it doesn't stop. When the connection is truly down I can manage to play some songs I have on the device's internal storage, so that would not be the problem to address. The problem would be how to deal with a bad connection while playing an online radio. I can't help but think there should be a way to add some delay to what's being played so when the connection fails for a couple of seconds, Chrome still have media to stream. But I just can't find it. I did some research on the Chrome flags and all that deep Chrome configuration but to be honest is a bit overwhelming and I can't find anything that seems close to what I'm looking for.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
