Using Diamond as a media receiver - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Guys, I would like your opinion / advice on -
I have a Windows Home Server which streams Video to the TV via a Media Centre Extender. I would like to stream Music all over the house from the centralised Server. I have an old Diamond and a couple of Kaisers lying in the house which can connect to the Server over wifi + HTC Network plugin. None of them would be having a SIM card inside. I am going to use Coreplayer as the network player to play the music files on the Server.
Is there any other solution or this is the most optimal solution.
Secondly, is there a dock which has built-in speakers or facility to add speakers as well as charging for the diamond?
Any idea / help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Streaming Issue w/ Pocket Player & WM6.1 / WM6.1 Radios

I recently flashed my Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) with Dutty's latest WM6.1 ROM (19199) and Radio Version: 1.64.08.21 and I am now unable stream files in Pocket Player over AT&T's 3G network.
I can stream the files in Pocket Player when I am connected via USB or via WiFi, but not via 3G.
This seems to be specific to Pocket Player, as I can stream the same files via 3G using TCPMP without any issue.
Finally, I know that Pocket Player is accessing the net ok as I can browser podcasts / opml listings in Pocket Player's Web Guide.
Anyone out there have WM6.1 & PP who might be willing to confirm that they have the same issue?

I seem to be having the same issue. I cant hear any of the stations from the web guide. It seems to be connecting ok just no audio. I can hear local files just fine though and other streaming a/v programs seem to be working ok too...
Sux - this is one of my favorite things about the phone...

Phone to Tv?

I just purchased a used Tilt from LutLot Liquidations for $100 and it works great. But I have a question. In 3 of my vehicles I have a dvd player with available av inputs. I have a slingbox at home and was wondering if there would be anyway to view the slingbox from my phone and output it to my car(s) dvd player thru the phone? I know I am reaching here but figured I would ask.
Thanks!
Sorry, the Kaiser doesn't support video in / out and can not connect to a DVD player, external screen, etc.
As for viewing your slingbox - I'm not 100% sure what protocol the sling uses but you should be able to watch streaming video on your Kaiser if your network connection is up to it. Depending on the protocol, TCPMP/Core should let you watch streaming content.

Phone as bluetooth headset

I googled this and searched for it on these forums, but nothing turned up. I'm looking to use my phone connected to headphones as a bluetooth headset that I can connect to my laptop and listen to stuff.
Anyone know of a program or can whip out something like this?
anyone know what I'm talking about?
I would like to know about this too
My sound card on my laptop board is out, and shy of buying either a USB headset or a USB soundcard, I have no sound. So if you find anything on this please post. Even if its to connect via ActiveSync or WiFi, either one, just something would be great.
Maybe you upgradet your PC to 4 GB of RAM?
then it is possible that your Mainboard dont support the access to the full 4 GB RAM and just cant access the Memory for the Soundcard. (same happened to me, and i need to look for a BIOS update...)
If this is not true, you can for example Buy a Bluetooth Headset.
Because of my problem with the 4 GB Memory Upgrade i used my bluetooth headset and it worked with sound.
But because i wanted to make my sound loud on loudspeaker i got another crazy idea. (i often have thinks like that)
i enabled the bluetooth of my laptop and used my Laptop as one big external Soundcard.
also tried to use my Touch Pro, but it doesnt support the needed protocol in that direction.
Sound from Touch Pro to Laptop over bluetooth works, but not in the other direction. This would only be possible if we find any other Driver for the Phone.
Another Idea would be to use:
http://www.no23.de/no23web/Live-Audio-broadcasting-webradio-stream-online-radio.aspx?live=1
(didnt found a english webpage)
It is a tool that streams the sound from your PC. (dont know if that works without a soundcard)
you only need a player that plays a stream like that. (VideoLan for example?)
Good luck in your experiments.
If what your talking about is playing sound on your computer from your phone then you need to go into your bluetooth control panel on the PC and go over to the services tab under your devices properties box. Make sure you have the headset protocol checked and a2dp or ad2p whatever it is checked for the stereo. Go into the audio tab of the main window of the Bluetooth control panel and go to the audio tab, click on "Stereo audio player" under your devices section, then click connect. When you start dicking around with your device all sounds should now be played through your computer's speakers and the headset icon should be on the task bar of your phone.

I was just playing around with my laptop last night and was able to do the same thing. My laptop didn't come with bluetooth; however I was able to buy a bluetooth USB dongle at bestbuy for less than 20$. Now I can play music through my laptop speakers from my phone. As far as playing music the other way, with a broken computer sound card... I'm not sure if it will work...
You can By....
1.download and install winamp and nulsoft shoutcast source dsp . www.winamp.com
2.download and install SHOUTcast Distributed
Network Audio Server (DNAS)
3.cofigure acording to your ip adress,port,etc,then configure your router's firewall to allow that port (will play from lan and internet as well).
4. open winamp option>properties>plug-ins>dsp/effect>nullsoft shoutcast source dsp>configure the options like input output....
5.try playing from your windows media player with local adress ,example:- http://192.168.1.112:8080
6.save the play list and copy it to your phone (saves time).
7.on your phone connect wifi , run tcpmp and try playing that playlist .
works on my wing , dash and htc fuze . the audio is delayed by couple of seconds .

WMWiFiRouter+MochaFTP+FM Radio+Media - Missing Server

Hi Guys,
Got WMWiFiRouter and MochaFTP work together (0ver wireless, offcouse) so that now MochaFTP allows me to browse my device and WMWiFiRouter allows me to browse the net. Please note that I am not using MochaFTP to transfer files via internet, that would've eat up my data allowance unnecessarily, although it can be done. In this mode, I browse net and send / receive downloaded media or programs to my Xperia. In sort, I planned and almost there in using X1 as Network Share (NAS), got 16GB card to enhance the capacity. Don't need to connect to different laptops but X1 now acts sort of my cental download hub and whatever laptop I use (I got 3 in total), I always access a single and up to date download for all of them. Sounds good.
What I am trying to achive but couldn't is,
(1) Stream media from X1 over wirelss, so I can put enough audio & video on X1 and listen it over wireless to my laptops, anytime and anywhere (over local wireless). This is just opposite of things like Orb and etcetra, as there are too many solutions which allows you to access media on your PC. This is about accessing (and streaming only, as I can always download from X1 via MochaFTT but wouldn't want to do that. It is same as having files on your PC) media on X1 via wireless. No I am not asking for A2DP over Bluetooth because than, I need to play it on X1 atleast and then use A2DP as wirless bluwtooth headset, but yet a sort of headset. So I want pure streaming of media files from my X1 which I will access on any of my wireless networked PC via http, rtsp or whatever protocol.
(2) Once above it achieved, I would want to stream FM Radio on my X1 over the same above wireless network. X1 can be plugged in and FM will be streamed all over wirelss so I can listen it on any PC on local network. Dont want record it and then stream it via net. In all above scenarios, net is not going to be used at all, as it will need data connection and I dont want to pay bothways. I want to listed to free FM chanells via wireless only.
(3) And ofcourse, if we can run a pure real infrastructure SoftAP server on X1 (or WM 6.1) it will be great as it will allow me to route my HAVA player via X1 over local WLAN and so I will get rid of my mains consuming 3G Router. Save energy as you can by unpluging one more energy eating thing.
(4) Any at last, something like Virtual WiFi for Wm 6.1 platform, allowing X1 to connect to at least two wireless networks simultaneously without any apparent lag while WM 6.1 hogs two or more wirless networks.
I spent a lot of time searching a piece of native WM 6.1 streaming server (there are a lot of FTP ones, but these are copy & paste things in their root concept) but couldn't find any.
Any luck?
Cheers

Again, not anything over A2DP, as BTFM poorly tries to do that, but I need to keep volume for FM radio application up on my X1, else it I will not be able to listen it. If I mute device (X1) volume than BTFM steams but no volume whatever you set on receiver device. If you select wired headset (alothough we need to connect wired headset to receive FM, we can still listen it on device speaker) than BTFM can't stream FM radio over A2DP, instead it streams device microphone over A2DP, so a sort of A2DP Bluetooth Microphone.
And I forgot to mention one more wish,
How about enabling USB Host on X1, I know it can't almost be done or is possible, yet a wish! Or maximizing storage capacity on X1 to say 32GB or 64GB would be awsome. I woill wish to put 1TB Micro SHXC in it and it will rock as NAS.
Cheers

[Q] Streaming mp3 from PC

Anyone uses this?
We all have gigs of mp3's on our PC's and I found only one app which can simply stream music, using wireless router for connection - Gmote. So this way I plug in my headphones and can listen to anything on my PC from anywhere in the house.
Sadly, it seems that it isn't developing anymore and a lot of my music is encoded in a way that Gmote doesn't like. I think it has problems with variable higher bitrates, maybe.. not sure.
Is there anything else that can do the job? DLNA maybe?
You can easy convert al your MP3-files to a right format.
http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html
Let your computer do the job at night, and in the morning you're a smiling human
No way, that would permanently lower sound quality . And PC is also connected to hi-fi
I'd rather find an app that works like it should . DLNA could be beter option, that way PC would recode music on-the-fly, just for listening on Hero. Ill try 2Player, looks promising
u never heard of orb or sugersync or oh there are tooo many to list
Not really the same thing. SugarSync uses "personal cloud", so it's over internet and Gmote uses home network which is free, fast and local. No upload/download.
As far as I remember, Orb was for internet radio? Can't find it on AppBrain.
Anyway, 2Player works with Tversity as DLNA server. Music only. Good to know
