Quicktime audio streams on pocket IE

I was wondering if this is possible. I'm taking this Japanese class and the audio files are all online but you need some form of a quicktime plugin to view them. Is this possible on the Tilt? If this has been a topic of talk before I'm sorry, I searched and found nothing that would help. Thanks! -Dante

is converting the files an option, or only streaming? Hope you didn't say free.
streaming

hope that helps.

40 bucks... ouch. There is a trial for it so I'll give it a try to see how it works. If it goes well i'll open the good old wallet up and pay for the full thing. Thanks for the promt reply!

First some questions:
How is the audio streamed? via RTP/RTSP/SDP?
- RTP/RTSP: see the prefix of the link (eg. rtsp://...)
- SDP: prefix is normally http://...
Or has the link got an extension? Like .aac, .m4a, .m3u,...
I know RTP/RTSP is supported by Coreplayer (I use it to stream video), but I have no idea about SDP (no experience)
Are the audio streams accessible for other people, like me? In that way I can test it with Coreplayer if you like.
Hope my help is/will be useful...

chances are, those sound files are well-known sound files that tcpmp can play... it's free, so try installing that and select the appropriate suffixes to be the default player for.

Can the Kaiser support watchtones?

I know that pre mobile 5 handsets and nokia's could support watchtones. Has anyone figured out if this feature can be added to the Kaiser?
I have tried using Mp4's but they only play the audio...
any help would be appreciated
Nov 11 update*. I tried to use .3gp and still no worky.. Unless there is a progam to answer calls i dont think you can use watchtones natively

Hey I was thinking the same thing! Does anyone knw if its possible?

Whats a whatchtone ?

idk if there r any programs 2 do this now, but this shouldnt b hard 2 do. simply write a program the run when there is a incoming call and play a selected video.

I believe they are talking about video ringtones. My last phone was a Helio Ocean and it was possible, but I have no clue how the Tilt can play 3g videos as its ringer or anyother video format.

.3gp
.3gp format no worky... not to sure what else to try.. suggestions?

i had tropic thunder on the root path of my storage card (think it was avi or something) and my kaiser found the video when i wanted to change my sms sound.

Well my Tilt doesn't do it, but you can save yourself some time by going to vringo.com. It's a service that sends video ringtones to your phone. You can upload mp4 files to the site. I have six that I found off the net: Dave Chapelle as Rick James, couple music videos. I haven't had any problems.

streaming video to G1

looked around and didnt see a post here in the g1 forum but it is possible to stream movies from your computer to your G1. just go to www.orb.com and your set. best of all its FREE!

can you be a little be more specific, it will be helpfull if you explein a little a couple of steps for this and how can you watch it on the g1.
note: I'm not trying to be ungreatfull

I just try it and is GOOD (running it, on my wifi) a little slow when watching a video but defenitly watchable, I think if they develope a software for the android like the one for Iphone this will be a killer application.
In order to use it you just have to download the software from the site and create an account, share your media files videos, mp3s, pics, documents and even your computer webcam. allow it in your firewall. Then just log in from your g1 browser, and you are good to go and enjoying all your files in your g1.

I used to use this all the time with my Wing and Tilt. Unfortunately, the video has issues. It doesn't work on the G1 through 3G as of yet. Rumors have it that Orb is in the process of developing an app... but that was spread around back in November. Who knows what happened with it since.

Be also interesting to see devices as PMP's with video out capabilities... something like vPOD's

I am able to get the video started over 3G but the video player keeps telling me "Sorry this video can not be played". I still hear the audio but the video always freezes on the first frame. Has anyone else tried this and got it to work?

Same problem I've had. I have been able to get a couple videos to play correctly, but I have not been able to figure out why they played and nothing else would. Oddly enough, even the ones that would play once would not play a second time.

you can do this with "gmote" also it much easyer

Androrb was just released. Check it out.

Has anyone been able to stream to the G1 using VLC?
I have tried using the same settings as the ones from the G1 video encoding thread (and lower), but it just won't play.
(I know the OP posted about Orb, but with such a generic thread title, this shouldn't count as off topic or thread stealing...)

I do want a DLNA / UPnP app for Android. I can get Tveristy working for streaming music, but it won't stream & transcode video.

I've gotten this to work in VLC in my LAN but not from outside yet. It took me forever to get this far, and I kinda just chalked it up as progress, and haven't done much with it since. Use the rtsp address in NSW or Meridian or whatever on your phone.
need to set h264 to 1,2 baseline and audio to aac in advanced settings first
Code:
:sout=#transcode{soverlay,ab=42,samplerate=44100,channels=1,acodec=mp4a,vcodec=h264,width=320,height=180,vfilter="canvas{width=320,height=180,aspect=16:9}",fps=25,vb=200,venc=x264{vbv-bufsize=500,partitions=all,level=12,no-cabac,subme=7,threads=4,ref=2,mixed-refs=1,bframes=0,min-keyint=1,keyint=50,trellis=2,direct=auto,qcomp=0.0,qpmax=51}}:gather:rtp{mp4a-latm,sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:5554/stream.sdp}
In your Android video player:
Code:
rtsp://local.server.address:5554/stream.sdp

Is T-Mobile blocking ports? I just tried that method in VLC and it works great with WiFi on, but with 3G I can't get anything.

Camcorder record mpeg4 or wma?

Can the camcorder on the Dream record in mpeg4 or wma format?
If not, then is there a way to convert the native video using the phone, so I can then email the converted video immediately afterwards?

I very much doubt WMA will ever be able to record, Maybe a third party app can do mpeg4, As far as converting, best off taking it off sd card to a pc. I wonder if ffmpeg could run on android. but i would be afraid, and it would take 4 months to convert the video

I believe the camera records in .3gp

If you are on a hero build you have the option of mpeg4 or 3gp. If you are on cupcake it is just 3gp.

Thanks for your replies. Im on cupcake so just 3gp it looks like :-(
I wanted to make a short video and share it immediately via email to work colleagues (who dont have the luxury of a media player that can play 3gp, and work computers block all streaming video from the net, so uploading it somewhere is a non-starter).
I'm a novice but have flashed a few different roms onto my G1 - can anyone suggest a stable Hero build that's not too laggy and awful (as I gather most of them are)?

JACHero and TouchFlow 3D are the ones to go to. If the co workers are able to download anything just tell them to download vlc player it has all codecs built in.

I'll look into these roms, thanks.
Unfortunately my colleagues can't install anything on the work computers, so VLC player is out of the question.

Sorry, just noticed you said that Youtube wouldn't be an option. You could still try Qik - perhaps it's not blocked. I'll leave my post as is...
Another option would be to use the YouTube upload option and then just send them the Youtube link to the video.
Or, if you'd rather keep the file from public viewing, you can use the "Qik" app and upload it to a private Qik file and provide them with the password.
You wouldn't have to worry about converting the video at all that way and everyone could play it.

Depending on the length of the video you might be able to send it to them as an MMS.. I'm pretty sure .3gp is a standard format.
Another thing to consider, if they have quicktime installed on their computers it *might* be able to play the .3gp... well, let me rephrase that, it should play it, but might not have the proper codec for the video so it may come through as audio only, but it's worth trying anyway

PortableVLC ftw

Add chapters to a .mp4 file (windows)

I have .mp4 files that I play on my windows media player on my phone and I cant figure out how to add chapters to it. I saw there are some tricks to use for apple but not having luck turning anything up for windows.
I could solve all of this if I could get AVRCP to work with coreplayer on my HTC TP2

Check this out.

Thank you, I have actually been to this page before but I noticed a large number of people had issues (movie played 2 times, white screen after 3 minutes). Have you used this before and had success?
also m .mp4 files are not encoded to Ipod, well some of them are, do you know if that will be an issue?
Any idea where to get any of those files on the net to import into this? for example I have some workout videos, I don't want to have to sit and mark down the chapter times for each video if I can help it.
Right now I see Metachimp or something like that has something sort of but I dont see the chapter times.
