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.
Can someone explain why opera works perfectly but IE won't connect to ANYTHING...always says page not found??? Also...streaming video will ONLY work through TCPMP...HTC Streaming video won't work and Window's Media Player won't stream ANYTHING but TCPMP can work for certain file types fine. Also...even though I associate some filetypes with TCPMP they still try to open in WMP and then fail. How can you disassociate a file type from WMP or streaming media???
You can disassociate file types in the registry.
I've had similar issues before as well... but just for short periods of time and it would work again...
but after i flashed a new rom i noticed that my exchange could connect to the net, so could IE, but OctroTalk would create errors... I went into my connection settings and change my access point name from isp.cingular to wap.cingular and my username from [email protected] to [email protected] and everything works fine...
dont know if that helps, thought I'd share tho
I apologize if this has been answered, but I'm using PocketPlayer to stream talk radio over a mono bluetooth headset(so I can listen while driving without getting a ticket), which works beautifully.
My problem is that I can't get the URL of the stream in question from opera, I can copy a link that I'm using from opera to PocketPlayer and it plays it but that's an http url which takes a really long time to open and there's no mms link anywhere in Pocket Player. If I click that link it opens a mms url in WMP really fast and if I go into properties inside wmp theres a mms url which it lets you select, but it won't let me copy it so I can open it once in PocketPlayer and save it. Is that url in the registry somewhere?
Aah I got it to open in pocket player by associating a bunch of file types so never mind. It is pretty obnoxious and anti trusty to make that url in the properties dialog read only though.
Hello the program "mobile Streaming" is preset with the rtsp://
I tried this one to stream rtsp://mobilstream.antenne.de/antenne.sdp and it fails allways to connect.
I thought the rstp is a real player thing. SO what exactly is the application mobile streaming try to do ? Anybody knows more about it ? IS this a real player aplication, and if so why not working if not why is it preset with rstp.
Thanks
I'm no geek but I think it may be all about the file being streamed.
I have had no problems with CorePlayer, HTC own Streaming Media and VLC.
One thing that I have been doing is emailing the stream info to my mobile from my PC and saving .pls files to the mobile.
The only thing I do with realplayer is to get live bbc london radio from the .ram, hope the above helps.
Your rtsp link just don't work. It's either firewall or a router problem, but not of the player.
What does the player do ?
Well it supports rtsp protocol to read H264/AAC (and maybe other) files.
Please note this has NOTHING to do with a real application.
These protocol and codecs are fully standarized, and are the most commonly used ones. (I'd say it's the only proper way to stream actually.)
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)
