Hi,
I have some movie files in my PC, stored in a shared folder.
I think, if I connect my Kaiser to my home WLAN, I could "browse" to that folder and play it using CorePlayer, for example.
But I found it quite slow.
Is there any better alternative?
Like a software, installed in my PC that act as stream server?
Whats your solution?
Thanks

I can no longer play streaming music via a link... if I go to shoutcast, and click the listen button on a station, vtap opens up, but nothing happens. I'm assuming that vtap must have assocaited itself with with common media extensions, but I can't find out how to fix them back. I know how to do it in desktop windows, but not PPC.
Any suggestions?

Since my car stereo is not working right now, and my favorite radio station streams over the internet, I was wondering if there is a way to listen to it using my Tilt.
I tried browsing to the website using my phone, and once I click the "Listen Live" link, I get a connection error. Any insight appreciated.
Radio Station: 93.3 WMMR

Listen Live link:

download gsplayer or tcpmp player. I listen to shoutcast on both of these.
I'm trying to listen to WHTZ-NY Z100...
http://www.z100.com/cc-common/streaming_onesite/index.html?refreshed=yes
They used to have an embedded link, but I think it's been changed to some dynamic link or password. Can anyone figure this out? It's a WMA stream, too.

I already had TCPMP installed, and I just tried gsplayer. Neither works unfortunately.
Can someone that has either of these programs working on this Kaiser try to connect to the stream I listed above?
Try going to the settings in TCPMP and checking the unchecked boxes in the file associations tab that pertain to what type of media you are trying to access or stream in your case...
Have you tried www.thestreamcenter.com/pda ?
Click on PA, then scroll to 93.3 WMMR
It worked for me using WMP.
I am able to stream a NJ station, WFMU through TCPMP, but I haven't had any luck with either of the other two stations mentioned in this thread. If you want to test out your player's streaming capability try http://mp3stream.wfmu.org
It appears that the links for both of the other stations mentioned in this thread load a player that in turn accesses the stream. If you can get the actual stream's URL I'm thinking it will load fine. Those URL's wont stream in WMP 11 on my PC either.
One thing I did notice about TCPMP is that it didn't initiate the internet link, I had to connect using IE and then start the stream. I was accessing via EDGE, don't know if you would need that step with WiFi or not.
Your sig says att. Did you uncheck the proxy in the connection setting manager and try it?
Winamp Remote works really well on my Tilt. It's not radio, but you can stream your music (and videos, though I haven't tried any yet) from your home computer right into Windows Media Player.
did you download the .dlls that tcpmp needs for this type of stuff and copy them to your windows directory?

To those that still have this problem, try installing flash Player 7 to your device (fp7_ppc_en) you can google it. Don't install it to your storage card. I tried and it am getting some sound and not the message to download flash player. I had already had flash player downloaded to the storage card.
Hope this helps.

I was able to find the stream on this site. After I click the link, WMP opens and starts to buffer, but then comes up with Failed.
Do I need to modify proxy settings in order for the stream to work from this site? And if so, will that affect any other web browsing? I do not use MEdia Net, so I'm not worried if it affects that.

Diabled the proxy settings, and good to go! Thanks for the tip.
wow, thanks for pointing out this great site !
Can't seem to get the the QKED/NPR SF feed to work though http://www.kqed.org/listen/live/wm/kqedradio.asx it stalls after the ad.
EDIT: C'mon guys, streaming from VLC to WMP mobile isn't on anyone's mind? Partially, the reason I ask is because I want to write a C# app to stream from a VLC server to a WMPmobile hosted control. That way I can search my files remotely and change the streaming content. I plan on writing my own client on my Tilt and server to control VLC on my PC. Otherwise I'd consider using TCPMP or others. I really hope WMP mobile can handle streaming from VLC. Please respond.
I'm trying to transcode video using VLC and stream it to my Tilt. I've tried the MMS option and the HTTP option with the following 2 command lines:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc "D:\Drift.avi" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=32,channels=2}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8080}"
and:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc "D:\Drift.avi" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mp3,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=asfh,dst=10.0.0.5:8080}"
The first one gave me a message about "file not avail on card or server is unavail" but I checked with another computer and connecting worked fine. The second one I got "The parameter is incorrect."
Do you have this working already? Please post the command line args you used to get it working. Any suggestions? I have tried searching the net, and there's a bit of info here and there on the subject, but no concrete results yet. If I can do this I am going to use VLC's VoD system (controllable through HTTP) and stream all my videos to my Tilt. Also, I would actually buy one of these:
http://www.gearfuse.com/go-straight-from-phone-to-tv-with-spectec-minisd-microsd-video-out-adapter/
VGA & TVout. Willing to try it if VLC works.
Bump. Sorry for this, I am really hoping catch someone who knows soon. I'm about to take a little hiatus.
Seriously? No one cares?
I know this isn't anything like what you're looking to do but this is what I do to view any content stored on my PC via 'streaming' over WiFi.
On the PC: Share the folder with the 'content' to the network... If you're running vista you can do this somewhat securely by limiting network access to certain users.
On the phone: Connect to the wireless network containing your windows network.
Using TCPMP browse to the network folder (e.g. //<Network-Name>/<Share-Name>/illegally downloaded movie.avi) and play your file...
Like I said, I know it isn't what you want but it works just fine and can tide you over until you've solved your question.
Umm...sounds like a lot of work considering what orb already does.

Is There a way to get the SPECTEC Video-out to work on a Jas Jam ?
If anyone can assist .. would be appreciated.. have a deadline of Feb 13 , 2008 Australia Time to get it to work.. Thanks
Hi,
I want to view streaming media files, so have download the TCMP cab and also the flashbundle cab to my desktop and then I copied them to my storage card on my Kaiser. However, they are not showing up as programmes in my programme files. I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure out what it is.
You need to run the CAB files on the Kaiser to actually install the programs. Navigate to the files using file explorer on the Kaiser and then tap them to open the CAB files. This will then kick-off the install process. Just follow the instructions from there; you'll have the choice of installing to main memory or the storage card.
Excellent, much appreciated !!
Well, I am pleased to announce that I can now stream videos, thanks to the help of this forum.
I have one other question though. When I stream a video, the playback pauses on a regular basis (and shows the coloured wheel) before resuming playback. Is there a cure for this?

i believe that just happens because ur streaming teh video...it needs to load...just like when u watch videos on ur computer live it needs to buffer
I have a Synology 207+ and need a music program on my TyTN II, that are able to access the share folder on my Synology and play the music. I have S2P which is great so I'm looking for a program like that.
As it is a NAS, I don't think it has streaming capabilities. You might want to use one of the following programs/plugins:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-network-folder-plugin-v1-0.html
HTC Network plugin (attached)
...
Use these programs to map the network drive which contains your music. This way you can browse to your music and play it using WMP (I think).
Good luck...
I already map my Synology drive with PPC total commander, so is these plugin then nessesary? I have my videofiles working with TCPMP already, it's just the music files that are missing.
if it only show video and not audio in the same dir mounted then it sounds like the audio is not in a format that TCPMP or whatever audio program can use
p.s. streaming is not the same thing as having access to files over a network
streaming is not realated with files on the clients end at all
Okay, let me elaborate. You're right I don't want to stream. I want access to the music folder on my synology and play it from there. I have it working with videofiles in TCPMP. They are two separate folders.
i'd asume you do it the same way
as a test you could try placing a single music file in the video dir and check if it shows up
Since you were able to find the video files, it should be no problem finding the audio files.
TCPMP doesn't show files with extensions it doesn't support. That seems to be your problem. Although it would have to be a really rare extension, giving the wide support of formats by TCPMP.
Can you see your music files when you browse to the folder using file explorer on your Kaiser?
PS: Just wondering: how have you managed to map a network drive using Total Commander? I didn't know the option existed (as far as I know, the option does not exist)
