EDIT: C'mon guys, streaming from VLC to WMP mobile isn't on anyone's mind? Partially, the reason I ask is because I want to write a C# app to stream from a VLC server to a WMPmobile hosted control. That way I can search my files remotely and change the streaming content. I plan on writing my own client on my Tilt and server to control VLC on my PC. Otherwise I'd consider using TCPMP or others. I really hope WMP mobile can handle streaming from VLC. Please respond.
I'm trying to transcode video using VLC and stream it to my Tilt. I've tried the MMS option and the HTTP option with the following 2 command lines:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc "D:\Drift.avi" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=2}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8080}"
and:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc "D:\Drift.avi" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mp3,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=asfh,dst=10.0.0.5:8080}"
The first one gave me a message about "file not avail on card or server is unavail" but I checked with another computer and connecting worked fine. The second one I got "The parameter is incorrect."
Do you have this working already? Please post the command line args you used to get it working. Any suggestions? I have tried searching the net, and there's a bit of info here and there on the subject, but no concrete results yet. If I can do this I am going to use VLC's VoD system (controllable through HTTP) and stream all my videos to my Tilt. Also, I would actually buy one of these:

VGA & TVout. Willing to try it if VLC works.
Bump. Sorry for this, I am really hoping catch someone who knows soon. I'm about to take a little hiatus.
Seriously? No one cares?
I know this isn't anything like what you're looking to do but this is what I do to view any content stored on my PC via 'streaming' over WiFi.
On the PC: Share the folder with the 'content' to the network... If you're running vista you can do this somewhat securely by limiting network access to certain users.
On the phone: Connect to the wireless network containing your windows network.
Using TCPMP browse to the network folder (e.g. //<Network-Name>/<Share-Name>/illegally downloaded movie.avi) and play your file...
Like I said, I know it isn't what you want but it works just fine and can tide you over until you've solved your question.
Umm...sounds like a lot of work considering what orb already does.

Does anyone know of a decent DLNA app for the Fuze?
What is the point of ussing a DLNA app in a device who is able to access and play directly your net files?
You can use Resco Explorer to access all the Shared Folders of your net and exposed it for the rest of the programs in the PDA as regular files
Or you have a DLNA only server that don't allow samba access?
Anyway... I have never read anything about dlna clients for PPC
Are you interested in a client or server?
Ok, as the title goes, I'm wondering if it is possible (at all) to get the kaiser to stream media (TV shows / films / music) via a wifi network?
I have a NAS Drive, which holds the above, and there are times when I'd love to be able to stream some of it while I have spare time.
While on the throne, missus / child is watching crap tv etc.
If it can, what is needed?
I've just tried the streaming lient (which failed) and WMP (which failed also, but is a fail within itself).
Any ideas guys and gals?
Thank you!
Yeah I'm pretty sure it can, some of the roms come with an app for it.
first of all, please define "streaming".
if your definition is along the lines of connecting to a server hosted on your local network such that audio/video content is streamed using a streaming protocol (such as rtsp or windows media server or realnetwork's protocol etc), then you'll have to use a streaming media client application on your phone (such as HTC's streaming media player or windows media player). typically, this approach will involve directing your phone client application to a URL like rtsp://MyMachineRunningAMediaServerort/FileName.ext
if your definition is along the lines of SHARING a folder on one or more machines on your local area network so that you can access mp3s, divx files, etc from any other machine on your network, then the solution will involve using a wonderful little tool called "HTC Network Plugin". search for it here on xda, its a cab file. some ROMs have it built in. essentially, the network plugin will allow you to map folders on your device to shared folders on your local network machines. for example, "\\MachineA" on my network shares "FolderA" and "\\MachineB" on my network shares "FolderB". using the plugin, you can set up access on your kaiser to these folders under "\Network\FolderAOnMachineA" and "\Network\FolderBOnMachineB". because these folders are now mapped onto your device's storage heirarchy, ANY application on your kaiser can now access the contents of these folders as if the files are on your kaiser's device memory or memory card. simply fire up windows media player or core player or TCPMP or what have you and start playing the mp3s, divx movies, etc. note that windows media player can NOT play back divx content.
all of the above will require you to first enable your kaiser's wifi and allow it register on your home network before you can access the "streaming" content. good luck!
Ok, instead of being all technical... Here is the simple answer.. Yes it can.. and it is easy to do.. On the computer that you have the files on, goto www.orb.com and sign up for the free account... Then leave your computer logged on orb when you are away... Then on your Tilt (or any internet ready WM device) goto orb via Internet Explorer... Now ANYWHERE you are with your phone where you have either Wifi or some other broadband connection (3G, or even a little slower) you can stream all your music, videos, etc right on the phone.. it works great!
Your meal taking too lomg at Applebees? Watch an episode of Robot Chicken.... Jogging at the gym, throw on your favorite MP3 collection.. ETc.. It works great.. and I have personally been usign the service for 2 years...
orb is a good option too...however, with simple things, complications and limitations can arise.
i believe the orb service requires internet access, both at your source (home network) as well as at the access point (your device). when away from home, data connection charges can become applicable. leaving your computer on to act as a gateway to a NAS device might also be problematic. finally, the OP seemed to want to rely only on wifi specifically within the home.
the orb solution will be simple if you have smooth reliable broadband internet within your home (assuming you don't run into router/firewall issues first). the shared folder approach will ALWAYS work without dependence on the internet (which can be a single point of failure in such a setup).
Orb Rules - for free!
I use orb for just what you mentioned. I can use my home wifi, or my data connection if I'm away from home.
Kinoma has an addin for Orb and it plays nicely. Orb even restreams HD to the phone well.
Never tried another method. With orb, I can give access to friends to watch movies that I taped or have loaded on the desktop. Just sign in to orb and share just that one movie/show.
Just be sure your home machine can handle the conversion (on the fly). I have a dedicated HTPC and it does just fine.
The only "issue" I see could be with the NAS drive..but a simple wayaround that, is to map it to as a local drive on computer where you have your orb running... Also, Even a Wii web browseris compatible with Orb... So you can stream a movie, songs, etc to your Wii (Ps3 or Xbox) at home or even at a friends as long as they have ibroadband access (and you do as well)... Seriously.. Orb is VERY easy to use.. and works very well when you are home, or away.. If you are worried about data charges, then only use it at places you have Wifi access...
And one other big bonus.. If you have a TV tuner card in your PC, you can even stream Live TV when you are away... If you are like me and have a mount on your dash for you tilt (to use with TomTom or what-not)... If you have friends or kids inthe car, you can stream the shows that are on live... There is more than one night I have watched Monday Night Raw live on my way home when I was running late or stuch in traffic... (More listened that watched, but anyways)
Hi,
I have some movie files in my PC, stored in a shared folder.
I think, if I connect my Kaiser to my home WLAN, I could "browse" to that folder and play it using CorePlayer, for example.
But I found it quite slow.
Is there any better alternative?
Like a software, installed in my PC that act as stream server?
Whats your solution?
Thanks

Hi all
I'd like to be able to stream videos which are on my desktop PC to my phone possibly via some server/client set-up and the wireless network. To my surprise I haven't been able to find anything in the marketplace which advertises this ability. I'd like to find a program that play stream or m3u8 files.
Thanks

The by far best solution (in my opinion) is Plex, it automatically tags your complete library and streams to devices via local OR remote network. If you for some reason don't want it just set up a UPNP server on your pc and get some client for your phone, there are lots of them..
