MLB.tv work on Kaiser over HSDPA/3G? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Would MLB.tv work on my mobile phone over HSDPA/3G or EDGE?
Also, would this get past blackout restrictions which are done by ip address?
Thanks for any info

According to a generic non-XDA Google search, it does not appear that MLB.tv will work on the Kaiser. On the PC side, it requires Flash 8 or higher.
However, I did come across a post that uses Slingbox to stream MLB.tv to a Treo over Sprint's network. As long as you're in a good 3G area, that could be a viable option. (Probably won't help with the whole blackout by IP though)
Check it out here: http://forum.treonauts.com/palm-smartphones/treo-700p/3657-mlb-tv.html

Actually, it doesn't require flash player as you can access the "old version of the stream" from MLB.tv page.
I do want a slingbox though!!!

how do I get to the old verison on the mlb.com page?
Does it work with the old version on a PPC?

Does anyone know of a player that plays VC-1 (Windows Media Video 9 Advanced codec). If so I may have a solution for the mlb.tv problem.

Live streaming over the internet

Hi
i was wondering since tmobile mda have a camera and a wi fi connection
can i do live video streaming over the internet.
please fellows i think if we can make this work it will be grt
do help me on this topic and need more and more feedback to inspire the gr8 people do something about it
Thanks
This worked for me. It is also stated on there web site that our device is supported. Great for filming weddings or birthday parties allowing family and friends around the world to watch live.
http://www.comvu.com
Also just for kicks. Try this if you wanna watch tv from anywhere. 8)
http://www.orb.com
ps. the current version of ORB as of today has a nasty bug that constantly reads you hard drive and causes video to chop. get the 1.01.0639 version dated Feb 23. It works better. Or download a newer version it it exist. On your device when loged into your ORB page I suggest going to "Set Speed" link at bottom and setting Device Web Speed to 60k and checking the Remember speed box. This will prevent rebuffering issues.(at least on my US T-Mobile network)
thanks for your reply i have used the comvu and orb but i was wondering if there is something else that can be used to do the live streaming see i dont want to be dependent on a a service provider i was like what if i host my own live video streaming server and the if there is a software that i can use to stream the video over the internet
but i guess this is still too far away
ya. dont know anything that does that. I know that Microsoft Portrait will stream. But to only one user. You cant do multicast without a server.
hey where can i find this microsoft potrait and yeah i can make my self a server so that i can multicast to few people around my family all over the globe that will be cool
http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/
Windows Media Encoder 9
WME9 is free and allows encoding / streaming. Maybe you can broadcast using one of those other tools to a server running WME9 and use it for other clients. I'm not familiar with Microsoft Portrait, so I'm not sure if that's capable.

Streaming Subscription Music Services to Kaiser?

Does anyone know of any "all-you-can-eat" music subscription service that will successfully stream to a WM6 device?
I have a subscription with Rhapsody. There are two ways to use it: with their software client installed on your desktop harddrive, or stream directly from their website. However, if you stream from their website, it installs a very small player app on your harddrive. If you try to stream from their website on a mobile device, it brings up an error saying that the player app must be installed and can only be installed on XP/2000, etc. And there is no mobile Rhapsody client available, in fact, no mention of one even in the works from Rhapsody.
As far as other services go, for a short time last year I used AOL Music and it was able to stream b/c their streams used WMP. I was so excited... I paid the normal 10 bucks a month and could listen to any song, any time, any where on my phone as long as I had a data connection. Unfortunately, AOL music subscription service shutdown late last year.
As for the other guys, Napster, Urge, and Yahoo all either use their own players or their own clients, so none of them work on mobile phones.
Any suggestions? Any of you genius-smart app writers out there think you could come up with something that could stream any of these services?
I'm listening to sirius right now on my tilt. It uses tcpmp. go ask the guys at geekstoolbox.com and maybe they can throw something together real quick for ya. they're working on an all in one right now i think
Hey thanks for the info kireol. Yeah I listen to XM and Sirius on my phone as well. Great feature. I'm looking to get a subscription service going as well.
Thanks for the site suggestion... going to check it out now.
Looks like geekstoolbox is geared mainly toward smartphones and Sirius. They're hard at work on their latest project which appears to be a complete overhaul to their Sirius software, but it's only going to add XM and internet radio stations. Don't think they'll be doing anything related to subscription services (outside of satellite radio) anytime soon.
Any other thoughts about how to get a subscription service to stream? Alternatively, have you looked at trying to get Pandora to stream to a WM device?
AT&T Tilt
Samsung Blackjack
AT&T 3125
The Nokia 810 has a mobile rhapsody client, and that also runs on an arm processor. I am sure a concerted effort could be made to port that code to WM, but I dont think there are enough rhapsody subscribers to care.
Surur
Add one to the "I care" list. I also have a Rhapsody To-Go membership & I would love to be able to take advantage of that on my Tilt.
Any progress?

Mundu Radio
So far I tried Resco Radio, XM and Sirius. And lately Mundu Radio. The best so far, and BTW it is free, is the Mundu Radio. You can download the Cab file from the following link:

Stream from online radio

Hi all,
Am tearing my hair out trying to figure this one out! I've got:
Windows Media
Coreplayer
GSPlayer
(Flash, not sure if this is needed)
All installed, as I'd like to listen to a radio station stream that I work on/manage the internet stream/technical setup for.
However it just won't connect at all! I have managed to play another shoutcast stream, but still never managed to get this one working.
Can anyone advise on why this could be? The stream in question is:
http://mobile:[email protected]:8000/hartlepool-mp3
Which works fine on all other players on the PC, etc, but cannot seem to figure why its not working on my Kaiser.
Thoughts/things to try, etc please!!
Can't see the link in full to analyse, or click it to open it.
Please repost it, perhaps not as a link but just as text and I'll take a look in the morning.
Cheers,
Joe
Oh strange when I pasted the link it was just a link, must have been the forum software that auto-linked it. Here it is, just cut the spaces out
http :// mobile:user @ arctic.thebmwz3.co.uk:8000/hartlepool-mp3
I've been trying a few other things here, and still cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with the stream/player on my Kaiser.
I've tried changing the stream from mp3 to ogg, same problem, have also set it not to require the username/password authentication, same problem.
Not sure what to try, anyone??
I stream a few stations, here's what I did;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350675
Good Luck.
Thanks for the tips, unfortunately since this is a small UK regional/community station that I operate, it isn't in any public listings, so cannot stream via pages or other links.
The bit i'm struggling with is why the kaiser won't stream the link, as its a fairly standard CBR mp3 streamed from icecast2 at 64kbps/22kHz and I cannot stream either over 3G or wlan when I'm at home, so that negates and proxy or anything like that with my cell provider, so it looks like I'm struggling with some form of incompatibility with my audio applications and the stream that I'm running.
Help! Don't suppose any kind souls out there can try my stream I posted and see if they can play it on their kaiser?
Thanks everyone for your input, its been driving me mad this!!

I tried the stream as posted, with .mp3 rather than -mp3, and without the mobile:[email protected] both as . and -
It couldn't even find the stream! Kept saying the file (etc, not typing the whole message) could not be found. Tried it on a couple of other streams for local radio I know of in South Wales, and it was fine. Couldn't seem to handle Radio 1 tho, but no loss there...
I have no clue about streams, so can't help with what might be wrong, but least this confirms that a Kaiser and WMP will run streaming internet radio. Maybe there is something on the config that a PPC couldn't handle? Does this stream work for you:
http://gmga.planetwideradio.com/RealWales
Thanks Steve, thats what I was wondering. Yes your link works fine which confirms that the streaming to my WM kaiser is fine, its obviously how I'm handling my own stream.
Interesting that you've tried all the combinations that I did, and with no luck, and yes very strange it doesn't find the feed at all and errors with unknown url, etc, I'm wondering if its somehow because the stream runs on port 8000 instead of 80?
However, in pocket IE, you can get to http://arctic.thebmwz3.co.uk:8000/ which is the admin for my icecast2 server, so PIE does seem to accept the alternative port too.
I'm very confused! I'm going to post to the icecast2 forum to see if there are any answers, but anyone else can give me any pointers too??
Cheers!
Right,
Chatting to the Icecast streaming developers, they suspected the authentication being the problem.
So I disabled authentication and sure enough the stream connected immediately, so I suspect there is a bug in the internet/backend on the WM that doesn't interpret multiple colons correctly, as obviously I had two in the URL, one for the TCP port number to use, and one to separate the username/password.
So think thats the problem.

Streaming Media doesn't connect

Hi.
After hours of searching and reading here and endless talks with my mobileoperator without any luck, I turn to this fantastic community for your help.
My mobileoperator offers a "newspackage" which includes access to livestreaming of some of their tv programs. These are supposed to be viewed in Streaming Media, but I can't get it to work. I get a "Network cannot be found" error. It works on my Hermes, so I'm wondering if this is due to the lack of videodriver or if it's something else TyTNII related? All I can find here when searching is solutions to YouTube viewing problems.
Does anyone have any ideas or something I can try?
I'm using an original HTC WM 6.0 ROM (5.2.1620 18125.0.4.2) DK-version, but I don't mind to have a WWE version of Streaming Media, if that's gonna fix my problem.
Thank you in advance.
How is the media streamed?
Through RTSP, MMS, HTTP, ASX,...?
Normally this can be seen by checking the 'prefix' of the link or the extension.
I presume you have already tested every possible type of data connection to stream the data? (Wifi, EDGE, UMTS, 3G - whichever is applicable)

On AT&T here in USA, I get this error if the hidden proxy is enabled. Don't know if you have a proxy with your carrier - if you do, try disabling it.

It's streamed through RTSP..
I have tried a lot of different settings and even a few versions of HTC Streaming applications, without luck. When I first had my Hermes it didn't work, but after installing a Dopod 838 ripped Streaming player, I had it running.. Sad thing is, I can't find a similar rip for the Kaiser..

No proxy...
I have done a lot of testing myself some time ago because I wanted to stream my own media over Wifi to my Kaiser.
But I never got it to work.
I had 2 RTSP servers running: VLC player and Live555 Media server.
=> Connecting over PC to the RTSP server: no problem
=> Connecting over home network (Wifi) to RTSP server (my PC) with Kaiser: NOT working
I tried the following apps:
Streaming Media app
Windows Media
TCPMP
Coreplayer
RealOne Player
PocketTV
VLC player PocketPC edition (discontinued project)
mPlayer PocketPC release
Absolutely none of these applications worked... Every app produced its own error.
(I switched to Orb but that is not relevant to your problem)
NOTE: Coreplayer v1.2, which will be released later today (21 Feb '08), will support RTSP. This might solve the problem...

Hi Doc
I'm really happy for your advise. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the new release of Coreplayer, and hope that it will solve my problem.
Thank you, Sir.
Confirmed: CorePlayer 1.2 works with RTSP streaming
Hi Dr. Strangelove.
Thank you again, for your superb answers and possible sollutions to my question. I just downloaded CorePlayer 1.2 and .... tadaaa.... I have streaming video now. It's gonna be a great weekend!

bbc iplayer on android

is it comeing to android ? i think i read somewhere is was like 2 weeks ago cant remember exactly where is this true?
and is there any tv sreaming apps for android?
Search Marketplace for "Beebplayer"
Works well over WiFi - No download and its not offical.
Has anyone got this working on 3G in the UK? Or anywhere for that matter?
I keep getting "Cannot play this video" which apparently means the carrier does not support iPlayer (?)
Does this mean that T-Mobile UK block the iplayer ports? Could we get this to work with an ssh tunnel or something?
It doesnt seem to be in the market anymore????
Anyone have the apk?
Cheers

It is still in the market, just a bit hard to find. You need to search for 'beebplayer'
Attached the apk (zipped) anyway.
Cheers for the zip!!!
Thats totally weird I did of course carefully search for beebplayer and I never got a hit?!
Anyway I'll try the apk, thanks.
for any who can't get it to work, it needs 1.5 firmware.
This is an impressive implementation, and the only choice to hand, however as the owner of both an iPhone 3g and a white G1 i have to say the the comparison between the two shows up just how much better the iPhone h.264 streams are to the mobile streams used via the mobile iPlayer portals.
It's a shame these streams can't be utilised by the developer, but I imagine the G1 just doesn't have good enough graphics acceleration to cope with it

Getting the iPhone streams on there was my first choice - in fact all the code to resolve the streams is in beebPlayer but unused. The problem is that the G1 can't play the iPhone streams.

Actually, the G1 is more than powerful enough. The problem is that the iPhone streams are in a .MOV container that the G1 video player can't decode. It's annoying - it's SO close to being MP4 which would be perfect, but of course Apple had to ruin the party!
Does that mean if the streams weren't in a .mov container we'd be able to use the direct iPhone iplayer page using the Steel browser and the iPhone user agent spoof option?
That would be pretty cool.
Impressed as I am with this app the mobile streams are just too poor for me.
Hi DaveJ!
Is there any chance you could put server/port options in beebplayer (or release source code) so that I can play around with getting it to work through a proxy? I'd love to be able to use this app over 3G...
Thanks for making a great app! (and great maps )

Nearly... the next issue there would be to deal with the media player spoofing, as iPlayer checks the HTTP request and expects it to be exactly the same request and behaviour as the QuickTime player on the iPhone, and is actually the trickiest bit to copy.
In Python, this was fairly easy to forge. On Android's Java however, it likes to make forging this very difficult and is what gave me most of my problems when I last tried it.

This is theoretically possible, but is actually pretty similar to the iPhone media player problem - it would need a custom video player app, rather than the one built-in to Android that beebPlayer currently uses (beebPlayer never touches the video streams itself.)
I'm already toying with the idea of a custom video player which would deal more pleasantly with errors (particularly "Video cannot be played" could use a better description!) but it's not my priority right now unfortunately.
Have you seen the Windows Mobile implementation of iPlayer done by a guy here at XDA-Devs? (It's called myPlayer)
That can use VLC on a desktop PC to re-encode the BBC streams to more suitable sizes for mobile devices, this also gives the option of viewing live tv channels (which the BBC now broadcast online) as the mobile app uses telnet to command VLC to open the BBC stream, convert it on the fly.. then streams it to the phone.
Would be great to have something like that on android, and may help with the quality issue of using mobile streams?
Any chance we can make use of get_iplayer?
i like this app. im only really able to run it over 3g when i use adrenalin
since running JACs hero roms beebplayer is working for me on 3g as well as wifi with t-mobile UK.
I don't know if this is a change in T-mobile's blocks on streaming or because of the hero rom. but shhhhhhh keep it quiet, I don't want TMob to switch it off again...
MyPlayer
Any chance you could get together with the developer of Myplayer for Windows Mobile? I really like Beebplayer, works a treat on my Hero ... but I'd really really like to be able to listen to Radio 5, which Myplayer lets you.
Cheers
what a great (not previously found) app.... thank you.
Been watching the wifi stream over 3G without a problem couldnt ask for anything more.
t-mobile UK
JF ADP1 1.5
great app,
this app is great!, couldnt find it with a search on the market place, if you have trouble, view all applications in the marketplace and keep scrolling till you see it, i couldnt find it with a search for some reason,
this app works like a charm over wifi, really fast and great quality,
i have a g1 and on the network "three". I have no problems with using beebplayer over 3g, the app also tells you the download size just in case your on a limited data plan.
this is a must have application, just wish thier was on for demand 5, and channel 4od.
