I am currently using RSS Hub and was wondering how to d/l a podcast and when it downloads will it be video if there is any or just audio? i know it depends on the podcast but say it has video will it play with TCMP.
i would like to bump this please
I set my podcasts to "always" download and for "all" feeds (it's in the options). News feeds that I read have images right in the body of the feed, among text. I'd asume that it'd ask you to click the video to play it in external player like TCPMP

I haven't been able to get any audio or video streams to work on the kaiser. I have tried both IE and Opera. With my treo 750 windows media player would open and the stream would begin. With the kaiser, I get a message re: save or open stream. Neither selection works. Any thoughts?
Bump please. I can't figure this out.
Pocket Player will stream .pls and other formats as well as wma. I found that the best way to do it is to set up PP as the default device associated with all media types (omfg I wish I could uninstall WMP). Then maneuver to the streaming link on your mobile browser (dito for Opera over PIE) and click on the streaming link and PP should open and pick it up. Works like a dream.
I always use KCRW to test streaming capability - it's the most reliable and stable I have found (not to mention it's also an awesome station...). Click on the "Listen" link and then look for the "Stand Alone Player" links. I prefer mp3 streams.
Hope this helps.
Note: I have never messed with podcasts up to this point, so I will easily look like I don't know anything on this
There is a lot of stuff to find here related to what RSS reader to use, etc, and I can explore that...but...
I have MS Voice command, and hope to be able to call up podcasts with it. What I'm not sure if is if MS Voice Command requires MS Media Player to operate for playing music. I assumed so, so I thought I woudl download podcast mp3 files, and create a playlist called Podcasts.
But, I find for some reason that when I try to import the downloaded MP3 into the library that it will not come in.
So, I"m left wondering, what is best method to do podcasts on the Tilt, and be able to call them up with MS Voice Command?
Any thoughts based on that? (In meantime, I"ll be reading the multitude of threads on RSS Readers, etc.)
Thanks!
I am gathering from the lack of response that it must not be possible to use MS voice command to play any downloaded MP3s (podcasts).
Yes you can. However, you will need to sync it through desktop WMP. Before you sync it you must fix it's properties though. You must give it a title & Artist name, Genre, Album Name, etc... In MSVC you can only launch media by these types of commands, i.e. Play news, play podcast play "artist name". Read the MSVC help file regarding media selections.
Also depending what you mark the MP3 format as being hanled by (File Asosciation) you can have it play in most popular media players. I prefer TCPMP.

That must be my problem. I'll see if I can figure that out. Thanks for the input. Sounds kinda painful though, as I'd have to manually input properties on every one I download to get it to load in WMP.
I've been thinking of looking into the TCPMP. Will MS Voice command work with that application?
[EDIT]
Hmmm...actually, my problme is that WMP won't even pull the file in for me to then add the necessary information to synch it. I'll have to figure that one out.
is there a player out there that can download the shoutcast stations that are operating, and then be able to select and play??
much like PSPradio?
i am getting sick of making playlists for the stations that i want to hear on my computer and sending them to TCMP
Thinking about it, someone could prolly make a simple html that could fish for running streams, and link it directly into TCMP

Ditto. I currently download the *.pls on my desktop and email them to my mobile.
I looked months ago and couldn't find any. I was in the same situation and grew tired of TCMP's interface. I finally purchased Resco Radio since it comes with a list of pre-set stations that I can add to or customize. Plus the UI makes it easy to jump between streams while driving. Still I wish something had native Shoutcast support built in.
i use opera mobile to browse and download the playlists and open them in core player. My Kaiser is paired with my car radio via bluetooth stereo audio. works fine for me.
i use opera browser and core player it works flawlessly. do need to enable coreplayer to play .pls files
just my 2 cents
playboy
yeah there is
if you use pocket player (my favorite music player) u can just open it and browse media and serach under web media for anything and it will show a list of any station da is available under shoutcast and u just click play and it will stream it...its amazing!!!!
Use Conduit Pocket Player 3.6, it is a great peice of software allowing you to make play lists, change skins and search thru ur music like iContact (smooth motion thru the list)
Also one other great tool is the "Music Guide", this has all the different Shoutcast genres with loads of radio stations. I was listening to music which i thought I would never hear
It really is great, get the trial to test

I have been using a piece of software called SelectPlayer. This software offers a diverse selection of streaming radio, including shoutcast. The interface is a little dated, but functionality is certainly there.

I use the Kinoma Free Player. Has a bunch of Shoutcast stations built in.

Yep, both Kinoma Play and Kinoma FreePlay have an always-up-to-date list of all Shoutcast stations built right in.
That's in addition to all Live365 stations, complete Audible audiobook support, 500 on-demand albums from Magnatune, thousands of podcasts, and quite a bit more.

Why not create your own Shoutcast Server and create your own playlist that can be played remotely....then you could post your ip/station name on this forum and eventually create a list of servers/stations?
So I use iTunes to download podcasts (both audio and video) constantly. Can't live without it even
I want to dump my iPhone and swap to my Fuze full-time, but one of the major issues I'm having is finding a Podcast replacement. iTunes does a nice job in updating, downloading, and managing (auto-deleting) old podcasts. I actually have ~8GB in podcasts on my iPhone right now. So Podcasting is big for me for entertainment and news
I've found numerous solutions for just about everything else, but no one seems to have an easy answer for podcasting --
The closest I can think is setting WM to sync my podcast iTunes folder to my WM micro SD card (if that link is even possible) and then using windows mobile's interface to try and play them.
Does anyone have a better solution? Paid or free, it doesn't matter. I'm all for paying a one-time fee to download a nice podcast manager
Most Podcasts have a matching RSS feed and most RSS readers support the audio files contained in the feed. I personally use NewsBreak by Illium Software. OEM version is RSS hub. Which is floating around XDA and is cooked into a lot of the roms. It allows you to decide how many you want to keep of each feed as well so you don't overload your storage card.
I'm using Beyond Pod. It's free and works good.
I agree with rangie, Beyond Pod does a great job.
You can sync nearly any storage device w/ iTunes...
http://lifehacker.com/5273791/synchronize-nearly-any-storage-device-with-itunes
I use BeyondPod to catch podcasts, and Kinoma FreePlay to listen, but it took a few tries to get the settings right:
In BeyondPod, I set it to automatically turn on wifi and download new podcasts in the middle of the night, then turn off wifi an hour later. I think I have it set to keep podcasts for 9 days -- haven't found an equivalent to iTunes' ability to delete from a playlist once it's been listened to, but this works well enough.
I have every feed save the podcasts to the same folder. In Kinoma FreePlay, I have that folder saved as a favorite. That way, I can listen to podcasts in the car and go from one to the next, even in different feeds, without touching the phone.
With iTunes and an iPod, I could do all this much easier with a smart playlist. No such luck on WM, at least not with freeware.
so I have been using xda for some years now flashing roms and getting a lot of info from the good developers and other people like myself would like to say thanks and sorry if i am posting this info in the wrong place i normally stay quiet but since i got my chromecat i have been trying to stream my video's from my desktop and came across this ----file:///c:/ ---- and worked great but no sound. i never give up so what i found out for myself it is much simpler than that and just make chrome browser your default player and there you have it just click play on what ever video you want to stream and you have good quality pic and sound. Thank you xda if someone else found this out then nevermind ijust wanted to give what little back that i could.

most of my videos play sound but all videos play maybe if one of you talented dev could explain maybe its a certain codec or something if any one can find the answer to that please let me know thanks.
I successfully set up Plex Media Server on all of my computers. However, I cannot get ANY videos to play on Chrome regardless of format (tried mp4, avi, mkv). Whenever I try to play a video either thru Plex or thru the Chrome browser, all I get is a black box with the controls. Nothing plays.
I had that problem and from that screen I tried a shot in the dark and right clicked and clicked open video in new tab... And it started playing! Don't know why but it worked.

I tried that based on a suggestion I found during research but I am not offered that option, even when right clicking and choosing "Open with".
All the movies I try to play in the browser just start downloading.
Chrome doesn't support all video formats, check what all it supports and use those.

Chrome only plays MP4 by default.
I have installed and tried using PLEX, but my videos always play choppy on the CC, is there a way I could directly send the URL to the CC? Ya know, make it play like YouTube or something...?
For those using Plex and having problem, I've been using SubSonic for a while and have no issues.

It's true that Chrome's built-in player only plays mp4 video files.
What you should do for other file types is install VLC, along with the VLC browser plugins. The VLC plugin for Mozilla/Chrome will play most video file types, but there are some issues:
1. You may have to disable other conflicting plugins like Quicktime, because it's darn near impossible to tell Chrome which plugin has priority to play a particular MIME type or file type. Type about: plugins into the Chrome address bar to access the plugins list.
2. Chrome insists on downloading avi files instead of playing them, so you have to trick it: rename the avi file as mpeg and let the VLC plugin automatically determine the correct file type from the header. You can rename it back to avi after you play it in Chrome.
3. There doesn't seem to be any way to select the correct audio track in files with multiple audio tracks, and it always seems to default to the wrong one in mkv files.

chrome now appears to play mkv files although it will not cast them correctly.

I do not see how to use the VLC Plugin for Chrome. I unisntalled VLC and installed 2.1.0 and then after I did that I see no option for VLC Plugins in Chrome or a way to export videos from VLC to Chrome. Can you please explain how this plugin works with regards to using it with chromecast?
When you install VLC, you have the option to also install the browser plugins. Chrome shares the Mozilla plugin. After installation, you will find the VLC plugin in the list of Chrome plugins (enter About: plugins on the address bar). It's enabled by default, and you can expand the details to see what MIME types it supports. However you may see other plugins in the list which are also enabled and also support the same MIME types (e.g., Quicktime), and there's no way to control which one has precedence other than to disable one of them.

I have re installed Chrome and VLC player, and the VLC plugin does not show up in Chrome when I go to aboutlugins. I do not know why, I definitely installed the Mozilla plugin.
