Is anyone using it? I just heard about it last thursday. I am using the free version because the only services I need to use are Orb and Youtube. It has some connection issues. Has anyone else experienced this?
Do you mean Kinoma? What are you talking about?

I have the full version, which is awesome. I use it on my mega commute to and from work. The connection issues always seem to happen in the same spots every day. I imagine it has to do with the area you're in. And it's not just youtube or orb. It happens with internet radio and the like.

What's it like for playing WMV video from storage? I'm looking for a better way than Windows Pocket Media Player as I don't like the screen tearing I get at over 15 fps.
Not trying to bring back such an old thread, but I don't want to start a new one since this is already here.
I've been using Kinoma the past week or so and I absolutely LOVE it. I'm using the free version and my connection is STELLAR. I can stream the 128K streams without any bufferring issues 90% of the time, and I never have any issues with the 96k streams. I'm going to purchase the full version so I can get my old Radio stations back and also get access to Live TV and what-not. There's literally thousands of radio stations on Kinoma. I highly reccomend it.

Plus the full version also plays podcasts. No more having to d/l six different media players just to enjoy all your media and online media,
$29.99 is a lot steeper than free, but when you think of what you spent on software for your PC, it is more in line.
I really like also.
Does it utilise the TyTN II's hardware acceleration yet?
I realise that it's pretty good at playing a multitude of media types/sources but does it use the latent graphics acceleration capabilities of the MSM7200 chip in my TyTN II yet? I believe the upcoming Coreplayer 2.0 is planned to do this (even though the current version doesn't). I'm using TCPMP at the moment which limps along with DivX video in the mean time and have no need to play other additional media types.

They do offer TrialPay. I signed up for a RealNetworks (yuk) trial, and got it for free. Canceled the trial the next day.
ASX Support?
I'm using Freeplay. I checked the Kinoma Blog and it says the either Play or Freeplay can handle .asx playlist. I tried Freeplay and .asx playlist did not. I was presented with an "unsupported format" error. Has anyone gotten .asx playlist to work on Play or Freeplay? I need this feature for MS Voice Command to work with the player. VC produces .asx playlists.
Yeah, I agree, Kinoma Freeplay is amazing. They have ALL the episodes of MacGyver! Suddenly I find myself not doing any homework during my free periods. As for the connection issues, I don't have any problems at school, but I can't really even use it at home because of my bad data connection. And as for the hardware acceleration, i was wondering that myself. The actual program menus are animated and run really smooth, so maybe. Also, no screen tearing. Anyway, those are just my thoughts.
Dave
The screen transitions are nearly perfect. I'm going to purchase the full version tomorrow I think. I'll write up my impressions after I use it for a few days.
have it
I have a full version, I like it a lot and i use it as main player, only thing i dont like is even if u buy the full version you still need a vip subscription to use a lot of services! I dont like buying the same app over and over again

Ok, what's the best "free" way to watch TV over Wi-Fi or even 3G? Can I use a website or is there some good software. Found some but wanted to know what's the most popular.
Thanks.
www.wwitv.com
That wont work with PIE.

That's a shame, works fine here.
Dave,
Which TV channel is working? all of them?
I tried several and got blank white screen everytime.
It looks the web browser cannot execute the JavaScript ...
I use PIE with PIE Plus installed via 3G connection
Anyone can test this?
So far all the UK ones work and a couple of the USA too. Haven't tried any of the foriegn languague stations. I get the white screen too sometimes, but it goes when I restart it awhile later.
Strange ... I got white screen everytime, no matter how long I wait ... then refresh.
You meant restart = refresh, right?
I tried so far all UK "News (Live)" channels.
BBC News 24 Live
Narrowband: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/nb/wm/video/news24_nb.asx
Broadband:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/bb/wm/video/news24_bb.asx
The broadband feed works great over 3g as well as wifi in full screen.
A great way to watch YOUR TV and DVR if you have one is to use SlingBox. It works great on Kaiser.
how can i save mms file to my windows media player or??
I use MobiTV. Its not "real" tv, but it has some good stuff
Orb and Logmein.
I use Orb which is free.
But then you need a Windows Media centre that stays on line.
With the (also, I am cheap) free Logmein I can give programming instructions and record things.
And of course I have a webcam connected, to look at the see where I live.
In Casablanca it helped me very much. From the hotelroom looking at "een vandaag" or the news, instead of all those Arab ( with respect btw) programs I do not understand
Huib
A good one is the Dutch www.streamingpda.nl with lots of English spoken chanels gif it a try.. BTW it is for free
Doesn't get any better than Slingbox. Sling is king when it comes to streaming live TV and watching your DVR on your mobile.

Absolutely, but ( God only knows why) not available in most European countries. Like in my beloved Holland)

Am using the Sony Locationfree, unfortunatly it's not available yet for phones only the PSP. Fingers crossed something comes out soon.
But you can import it from UK, right?
I dont see any reason it cannot be used in the Netherlands ... but ...
PS: I plan to buy Slingbox as well and I live in the Netherlands

Orb is much better than slingbox - and free! (Well, if you have a PC with a TV card lying around like I do)
http://www.orb.com
Ehhh... I wouldn't say Orb isn't "better" than Slingbox. If you have a TV tuner card, and tons of memory space on your desktop at home, and you don't mind leaving your computer on at all times, and you don't mind waiting quite a while (15 minutes sometimes) to restart a stream once you have paused it-- then yeah Orb could work for you. Personally, I found Orb pretty inferior compared to Slingbox. Sling is a one-time fee for the hardware box, a one-time fee for the software you put on your mobile, then it's completely free. Worth every penny in my opinion.
im not sure whats goin on with mine but i can open the streams just fine - i can get sound but no video - the player goes fullscreen and everything, but it just displays a black screen - it does this on the standard windows pocket media player web portal videos too - any ideas?
First of all thank you to all the developers on this site. Your work is truely amazing. Now, Below is a link to an article from engadget. They claim the Netflix streaming software that can be found on a few blu-ray players and soon on the xbox 360 is going to become open to the public to develope for other devices. Now ofcourse it requires a subscribtion to netflix but to just have the abilty to stream movies to the Tilt/kaiser would be great. Not to mention kick ATT mobile tv to the curb. Anyone wanna give it a try?
http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/netflix-api-open-to-all-let-the-developing-begin/
there is NO WAY a tilt has the processing power to handle a stream that big.
I mean it has to be possible if its able to get Mobile tv no?
it would be possible if you put a server somewhere to resize and compress the movies. You could stream them to your home computer then use something like slingbox mobile to re-encode them and push them to your phone. The problem is even with slingbox it is still laggy and generally not worth watching. The drivers on the kaiser suck, by 5G ipod plays movies flawlessly where the same movie on my kaiser sucks.
Maybe. I can watch streaming video on most sites with the Skyfire browser, so using that it might work.
But like someothers have said, might be too much data for the Kaiser to handle.
Now Im in a country right now that doesn't have a 3g network (f ing Belgacrap) ne who. For those in the US ,anyone care to go to netflix website on the tilt and just stream directly from them.
I've searched but cannot really find exactly what I'm looking for so I thought I would make my first thread. This is the question, what can you recommend as far as Streaming Live TV via an Application or even using a Browser.
Looking for someones perspective that does a lot of streaming and has tested and perfected their process.
=p
I know you said this is your first thread........
So I will tell you before anyone eats you up, before making a new thread always do a search first. For 3 reason, 1st it will get people from getting mad and not end up giving you anything, second you might even find something esle that you like and for third you might even find what you are looking for.
All I did was take the 3 words from your sentence "Live TV Viewing" and did a search. And look what I found Click Here , and if this is not what you are looking for just keep searching............
I did not mean to come at you as a hard a$$ but just wanted to give you a heads up, just in case you need to post anything else.
@gsessons: That's hardly a good site in my opinion for live tv streaming. It's very hard to find some good streaming applications and sites, even for the computer. I personally use Orb (orb.com) to stream live tv from my computer (which has a TV Tuner that I installed). Orb is the optimal TV Streaming but you will need a TV Tuner to do so.
If you do not have a TV Tuner, SPB Online has several online streams - but none that actually interest me (they just updated the list of available channels a few days ago as well to add more).
Those are my two suggestions - you can search, but as you can see..it doesn't bring up the best results....
slingbox and slingplayer mobile
I use orb, too. You get all of your channels that have at home where ever you go. However you need to have a high speed connection at home and on your phone so no DSL at home. Also you need to install a TV tuner which isn't hard and I think you can even use a usb one.
I have ORB and Slingmobile.
For live TV, nothing is better than Slingmobile.
You get full control of your TV FAST on my sling while ORB live takes awhile to start, no remote control function on remotes for Ondemand channels and such.
Slingbox owns.

+1 Excellent
I agree. Slingmobile is amazing. I have had mine for about 3 years now and used it on a treo, mogul, and now my touch pro. the upfront costs are the only downside to a slingbox. it pays for itself in the long run.
Been looking at Slingbox and having everything DIRECTV has to offer it would make sense to hook that baby up to a Slingbox. =p
Can randomly find a cheap slingbox if you keep your eyes open I've just never sprung to the opportunity, thanks for the advice sometimes I forget you can sling to cell phones rather than just PC's or what not.
yep, Orb and Slingbox.
So back in high school I used setup a simple HTTP server that allowed me to browse my music on the schools computers and play it there through VLC player. I figure since I have 160GB of music (way more than I can fit on my phone) I could probably do the same thing, but the problem I'm facing is what app would I use to browse the music?
Any ideas on how I could do this? Over the 3G network it should be ok, at least no worse than pandora and I would have access to all of my music.
Have a look at orb.. you can set it up to stream your entire media library to your device (even videos). It will auto-encode to a supported format and adapt the bit rate to your network speed. It's pretty sexual.
http://orb.com/
go get GMote, best app I've seen yet, works over wifi and 3G/Edge.
Another one for gmote.
Yet another vote for gmote here.
Gmote does not auto convert and will not play .avi. I use it exclusively for music, but I have never been able to get the video to play on my phone.

OP never asked about video, only music.
I tried out gmote but couldnt get it to work...I have a Belkin wireless router and I dont have a cpu hardwired to it. I messed around with some ports but apparently didnt do it right lol

I saw that. I was responding to the post about Orb. My music works flawlessly on gmote whether I am using wifi or 3g. I definitely give it 3 thumbs up.
So, Ive looked around the internet, and this forum, and cant seem to find an easy way to stream video from my home computer to my phone. I can use gmote when Im at home, and thats neat and all, but it would be nice to not have to download everything to my phone. I know Iphone has a few apps for that, are there any decent ones for android?
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Are you talking about a different app you could you at home over wifi? Or remotely over 3G? I use Allshare at home and it works well.
Oh sorry, I mean when Im out and about over 3g or wifi from another source. Ive used allshare and Gmote and they both work wonderfully when Im home. But as for when Im out and about, I havent heard of anything reliable.
Why not give Winamp Remote a try? I used to use that on my old iPhone 3G. You run a server-app on your PC, select which directories to share (video/audio), and access these directories from your phone via a login that you setup. On the iP3G, access was established through a normal browser.
Interesting. I tried something like that today, by using a different server type program and a certain video player, but it gave me a lot of errors and the videos had a lot of trouble playing (well, sound but no video, at the most). Not just HD movies either, movies that play just fine from my SD card wouldnt play (just to test it out). I wonder if this program would have those same problems? It sounds almost identical is why I say
Well, audio worked for me without a hitch. The UI was alright, and synchronicity was superb. Video worked well for me too, but I must admit that I didn't use this feature so much because iPhones were/are really finicky with resolutions and file-types. I was forced to pre-convert every video I intended to stream beforehand to an appropriate format and reso', and store two copies of everything on my HDisk: the original high-quality copy for desktop-viewing, and another for iPhone streaming... but that's just Crapple, right? Android is much more flexible when it comes to video-containers (among other things), so I see no potential problems for you—especially if you're using videos that play back fine on stock if stored locally (on your phone). Why don't you give Winamp Remote a shot, and report your findings...? It shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes to setup.
That actually makes perfect sense, well, I think Im going to call it a night tonight. but by thursday or friday I will get on that and report my findings!! thank you very much for the help and I will get back to you as soon as I get the chance. Oh college life lol.
Sure man, no proll'em. I hear you
Try using a program called orb. Works wonders for me!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Dude, Orb is Winamp Remote! Hahaha...
"Vlc stream & convert “from the market (freeware is doing the job - but the $4 are worth it for the Pro version)
Quality wise is the best.
You need to do some work on your router at home to forward 2 ports.
This one is the best so far.
