Getting Streaming Video or Audio

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.

Streaming Video to Diamond

Hi,
I currently use VLC to stream video and music from my fileserver to my laptop when away from home.
I noticed that the phone has an application called Streaming Media, but can't seem to get it to pick up the media stream from VLC. Not sure if i'm doing something wrong.
Is there a VLC app or similar for WM 6.1 which allow me to watch these streams?? would make thing a lot easier!
For info, I am connected to the fileserver via Hamachi VPN software!

did u try from VLC RTSP ?
As I know the streaming application comes with Diamond support RTSP, In fact I didn't try it.
I used in the past (with P3300) streaming with SHOUTCAST
(only music) , and open it with TCPMP (CorePLayer today)
There is SHOUTCAST (or ICECAST open source) for TV as well
Try it and let us know

OK,
I tried with VLC and it's working, here is small guide:
1. open file(s) you want to stream
2. select Stream/save and open properties
3. select MMSH and put your Internal IP (192.168.x.x)
or something else (127....)
4. select the port number
5. Encapsulation Method select mp4
6. Video Codec mp4v Bitrate 96kb/s (If you have High
bandwidth you can put higher to get better results ofcorse..)
7. Audio Codec mpga Bitrate 16kb/s (If you have High
bandwidth you can put higher to get better results ofcorse..)
8. Press ok
9. define in your Firewall what u need
(open the port and forward it to local IP, If u using Wifi in your local network so no needs..)
10. with CorePlayer (I think with TCPMP is should work as well) open URL mms://your_host_name : port (without spacing)
and here we go!!
Good luck !!

Right, Have manage to get this working in a fashion, but could only find TCMP to download on here.
I managed to get a a streaming picture, but no sound. Also, the picture kept buffering every 10-15 secs.
Not sure if this had anything to do with using the phones HDPSA connection to stream the film over or not.
Does anyone know where I can download a copy of the coreplayer from for WM6.1 to try.
Has anyone ever tried streaming with Windows Media Encoder to the phones media player? (not too sure if this can be done?)

You should search plugin (s) for TCPMP , it should fix your Audio ,
It's importent to install all on the Device memory, otherwise u may get Audio problems..
or:
http://www.coreplayer.com/
but It cost $$ ...

how much is the coreplayer and is it worth the money?

U can find the price in the site, on the other hand, TCPMP (0.72RC1 ) with all the plugin(s) (aac, ac3, flv) doing the same..

wich version do I need for the diamond? smartphone or Pocketpc? Thanks

Webcam or WMP app

I'm looking for a way to monitor my webcam from my phone. This webcam is USB connected to my PC. Currently I have Windows Media Encoder running and it works perfectly. From work I can open windows media player and point it to http://"IP ADDY":"port" and it works. Now how am I going to get this on my phone?
I do have the port forwarded in my router. Not that much of a newb.

good question ive been wanting to know this for a while myslef.

I don't believe the G1 will stream a Windows Media stream (heck it won't play a WMV file). You'll have to stream using a different format. If I remember correctly (and I might not), Orb offers webcam streaming that can be used with the Android Orb app.

try IP cam viewer, it might be compatible with your camera

goto market and search 'webcam' - you'll see 'IP cam viewer' by Robert Chou. It works with many many commercial webcams and the dev is the best at responding to questions and requests.

mobile Streaming rstp

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.)

Alternative's to "Cast your entire screen"

Hi,
I've only recently found out about Chromecast, reviews were very praising so yesterday I went out and bought one. Unfortunately, my initial enthousiasm has almost disappeared because I can't successfully do the 2 most important things I was planning to do with such a device: 1) Stream my desktop for 720p/1080p video playback and 2) Stream/Cast my Nexus 6 screen (I get a green screen when I connect it, separate apps do work though).
Focusing on the pc casting, the video playback is lagging a lot even if I switch to 480p which is of course unacceptable for watching HD movies. I am not talking about the 0.5 - 1 second input delay, I don't care about that as I don't want to play games with it but rather for the constant speed dropping/pausing/catching up. I have a 50/10 mbps connection which I would think is enough for this but to its defense, I have only tried it through a 2014 Macbook Pro i7/16gb ram running Windows through bootcamp. Could that be the cause of slow performance? Bootcamp may be adequate for basic stuff but the computer does not feel at all like an i7 / 16gb ram unit should.
If the pc is not the issue, are there alternatives to cast your desktop at an acceptable level through other apps? I saw vnc2cast in another thread. Also, is it an option for Chromecast to work if i connect my pc through Ethernet instead of wi-fi for better performance?
Thanks

Why do you need PC video playback on CC? Its smth like record a video of playing movie by phone and then watch it, instead of copy the file to phone and then open it... You could find some FAQ first...
1.Google Cast extention for Chrome Browser will let play compatible formats of video to CC. Just drag&drop the file to a tab and hit the Cast button. It also has "Cast Entire Screen" option.
2.Videostream extention will transcode and play most of the unsupporded files, including .avi, besides the regular ones
3. Share the folder to local net, use ES File Explorer + ES File Explorer Chromecast plugin. Find the shared folder in LAN section then play with plugin.
4.KMP Player for android+KMP Connect on PC.
5.BubbleUPnP android app+BubbleUPnP server on PC for transcoding any file.
6.Plex Media Server + Plex android app
7.ANY Media server on PC (Twonky, Plex, Serviio, BubbleUPnP etc) + Any program that see DLNA (Avia for example). If an app has "open with" option, one can use VEGA Cast, AllCast, Avia, ES Cast Plugin etc...
For Screen Mirror try Koush's "Mirror" app. First join ClockWorkMod beta testers Google+ group, then it will be available in Google Play.

Reason for pc video playback is I'd like to see movies from my local drives without having to set up a media server/NAS thing. I guess the extensions you mention in 1) and 2) can do that? I'll try them out.
Now if I understand correctly 3-7 regards sharing files from pc to phone and then streaming them to CC? I'd like to avoid that if possible as it requires the phone to act as an intermediate between pc and CC If I am not mistaken.

The phone is basically a remote to initiate and control the cast from the remote device/storage for all / most of these options (definitely for Plex and the BubbleUPnP options). It's not doing any heavy lifting.
Plex is probably the most adaptable option.
Also beware that casting local high bandwidth media from a wifi networked device/storage via router to chromecast may never produce consistent results as performance is often impacted by network conditions. Tweaking various arcane settings on your router can help but it's a pain.
For me there were huge differences in performance depending on whether the host device was is the same room as the router (very good) or in it's normal location a floor up and 20-30 yards away (pretty poor) or wired (excellent). I ended up resurrecting an old laptop heading for recycle with a fresh linux install to be permanently wired to my router to host a Plex server and media. Never looked back.

Ok, I tried Videostream and I find it amazing. Even its interface is so simple and smooth and with the remote control app for the phone I think it's great. So watching my movies is solved.
Now, another reason I was looking for "cast your entire screen" alternatives is that I can't seem to get a specific video streaming service that I often use to work properly. If I cast the tab, for some reason the video does not show up in CC even though the rest of the page like pictures and video controls show up fine. I guess it has to do with the fact that this specific service is encrypted and does not allow HDMI connections, if it detects one it just stops. So maybe it similarly blocks Chromecast plugin from capturing the video off it and sending it to CC?
The only way to fool it is to cast my entire screen. Then the video works fine but at a rate below 24 fps which makes it almost unusable. I even switched to 480p but still the video is slow for live sports. I guess when screen-casting, the load is too much for CC to handle?
So If there aren't other ways to improve screen-casting to a watchable level (24fps) either by 3rd-party apps or CC hacks/mods, I can only hope something is developed in the future I guess...
