and is there any tv sreaming apps for android?
Search Marketplace for "Beebplayer"
Works well over WiFi - No download and its not offical.
Has anyone got this working on 3G in the UK? Or anywhere for that matter?
I keep getting "Cannot play this video" which apparently means the carrier does not support iPlayer (?)
Does this mean that T-Mobile UK block the iplayer ports? Could we get this to work with an ssh tunnel or something?
It doesnt seem to be in the market anymore????
Anyone have the apk?
Cheers

It is still in the market, just a bit hard to find. You need to search for 'beebplayer'
Attached the apk (zipped) anyway.
Cheers for the zip!!!
Thats totally weird I did of course carefully search for beebplayer and I never got a hit?!
Anyway I'll try the apk, thanks.
for any who can't get it to work, it needs 1.5 firmware.
This is an impressive implementation, and the only choice to hand, however as the owner of both an iPhone 3g and a white G1 i have to say the the comparison between the two shows up just how much better the iPhone h.264 streams are to the mobile streams used via the mobile iPlayer portals.
It's a shame these streams can't be utilised by the developer, but I imagine the G1 just doesn't have good enough graphics acceleration to cope with it

Getting the iPhone streams on there was my first choice - in fact all the code to resolve the streams is in beebPlayer but unused. The problem is that the G1 can't play the iPhone streams.

Actually, the G1 is more than powerful enough. The problem is that the iPhone streams are in a .MOV container that the G1 video player can't decode. It's annoying - it's SO close to being MP4 which would be perfect, but of course Apple had to ruin the party!
Does that mean if the streams weren't in a .mov container we'd be able to use the direct iPhone iplayer page using the Steel browser and the iPhone user agent spoof option?
That would be pretty cool.
Impressed as I am with this app the mobile streams are just too poor for me.
Hi DaveJ!
Is there any chance you could put server/port options in beebplayer (or release source code) so that I can play around with getting it to work through a proxy? I'd love to be able to use this app over 3G...
Thanks for making a great app! (and great maps )

Nearly... the next issue there would be to deal with the media player spoofing, as iPlayer checks the HTTP request and expects it to be exactly the same request and behaviour as the QuickTime player on the iPhone, and is actually the trickiest bit to copy.
In Python, this was fairly easy to forge. On Android's Java however, it likes to make forging this very difficult and is what gave me most of my problems when I last tried it.

This is theoretically possible, but is actually pretty similar to the iPhone media player problem - it would need a custom video player app, rather than the one built-in to Android that beebPlayer currently uses (beebPlayer never touches the video streams itself.)
I'm already toying with the idea of a custom video player which would deal more pleasantly with errors (particularly "Video cannot be played" could use a better description!) but it's not my priority right now unfortunately.
Have you seen the Windows Mobile implementation of iPlayer done by a guy here at XDA-Devs? (It's called myPlayer)
That can use VLC on a desktop PC to re-encode the BBC streams to more suitable sizes for mobile devices, this also gives the option of viewing live tv channels (which the BBC now broadcast online) as the mobile app uses telnet to command VLC to open the BBC stream, convert it on the fly.. then streams it to the phone.
Would be great to have something like that on android, and may help with the quality issue of using mobile streams?
Any chance we can make use of get_iplayer?
i like this app. im only really able to run it over 3g when i use adrenalin
since running JACs hero roms beebplayer is working for me on 3g as well as wifi with t-mobile UK.
I don't know if this is a change in T-mobile's blocks on streaming or because of the hero rom. but shhhhhhh keep it quiet, I don't want TMob to switch it off again...
MyPlayer
Any chance you could get together with the developer of Myplayer for Windows Mobile? I really like Beebplayer, works a treat on my Hero ... but I'd really really like to be able to listen to Radio 5, which Myplayer lets you.
Cheers
what a great (not previously found) app.... thank you.
Been watching the wifi stream over 3G without a problem couldnt ask for anything more.

great app,
this app is great!, couldnt find it with a search on the market place, if you have trouble, view all applications in the marketplace and keep scrolling till you see it, i couldnt find it with a search for some reason,
this app works like a charm over wifi, really fast and great quality,
i have a g1 and on the network "three". I have no problems with using beebplayer over 3g, the app also tells you the download size just in case your on a limited data plan.
this is a must have application, just wish thier was on for demand 5, and channel 4od.
im looking for a good tv application for our phones..
anyone got any good suggestions?
TVU-Player for Mobile is okay, if you have HSDPA, otherwise it won't even load. Kinoma Freeplay isn't really tv, but nonetheless it is still entertaining. MobiTV is popular, but never really used it past its free 3 day trial. Hope that helps,
Dave
yeah.. i tried mobi tv... its good any all but too expensive.. there was a unlimited mobitv floating around here somewhere.. but didnt work.. or maybe i just didnt know how to use it..
but other than that.. ill give TVU-Player a shot.. thanks!
I use SPBOnline... Also I had DiamondTV.. The SPB is a better TV program.
DiamondTV is ok, there are lots of XXX in there, hehe...
slingbox mobile is the best way to go expect you need to already have slingbox, in total it would run u like 130 for mobile and slingbox, there are no monthly fees and it streams from ur tv source over the internet i really like using it, if you have parents you could just hook it up at their house and not have to pay for cable cause you can just watch it on ur phone or laptop/computer
Or you could use a website instead of a program. Something like
http://www.todaypda.com/stream/

This is excellent... Thanks for sharing the info. Although not all links do work, but the ones that do stream are perfect. I wish There is an NBA channel that streams live for free though.
Excellent site, Themuzz, thanks!
I'm having much better luck opening the links with Coreplayer than WMP, but I'm not surprised. Hmm... PIE does better at saving my settings than Opera, though I'm not using the latest version(s) floating around here. I'll try them when I have more time.
wow thanks for the share themuzz!!..
i actually tried diamond... over half of the channels dont work.
i would love to try the slingbox... but dont even own a real one so i guess that ones out..
handitv is okay..
im gonna try spbonline next...
thanks for the replys tho guys!
Thank You!

I've always wondered if there was a way to get FREE TV on my Tilt. This is the answer. With all those available channels listed for the US and the search feature, I'm sure I'll find something I'll like to watch. THANK YOU!
you're welcome, I actually set up the website myself. The only problem with the streams is that I can't check mms streams to see if they are working... if the stream streams through http I can check it, but I haven't found something where I can check that much mms streams...
If you have other feedback, it's welcome to.

TCPMP 0.72 RC1 Recomp 03 w/ the WMV and FLV plugins will enable you to stream pretty much any media you could want to on your phone.

Hey man, this page is interesting.

Orb.com
You may wish to try orb.com. You need a computer at home with a TV Card, but you can truly get streaming TV with this combination. Throw in a copy of Kinoma Play and you now have a direct connection to your orb server without using a web browser on your phone(not sure if you can change channels with Kinoma Play, as I currently do not have orb controlling my TV card, using GBPVR for my PVR functions, with the files created shared through orb.)

nice site. but i have not found a stream that works yet.
Perhaps I should leave this topic alone, but I found a nice site like http://www.todaypda.com/, namely a mobile website with also streams (which all work), translating, adult content, etc.
http://www.molymobile.com/
What do you think about it?
Has anybody had this website work for them yet? I tried stock browser and skyfire, and I'm on cognition froyo, nothing streams it yet. It does however let you download.

probably due to the 'iphone' in the url that is preventing it?
Sorry.. I don't know why it isnt working. Could be the streams are setup for Quicktime though?
found your issue:
Network Error (dns_unresolved_hostname)
Your requested host "iphonetvhows.net" could not be resolved by DNS.
For assistance, contact your network support team.
Just try another video player.. The stock videoplayer doesn't seem to allow stream from that site..

The site is: iphonetvshows.net
And it says: "We currently support the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, & Android phones"
It works on the EVO and a couple other android phones, just wondering why not on the captivate, and if there is a way around it.
Same I could stream on 2.1 but with 2.2 I no longer can
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It looks like the format is mp4. One of the boondocks episodes direct link via that site is: http://tossen5.info/tv2/16thtv/2-1-Or%20Die%20Trying-00.mp4
Any other vid players on the market work for streaming video? Has anyone tried using the Video player from CM6?
I'll try later this morning if no one gets to it.
The following apps don't seem to work on my G-Tablet:
Streamfurious
imsdroid
sipdroid
(Apparently, sipdroid may just be an audio issue)
Others have said that certain other video/audio streaming apps or VoIP apps don't work.
They all seem to have network streaming in common. Is there a framework or something missing from the G-Tablet? If so, perhaps we can provide it in one of the unofficial f/w's

i can streamtalk radio
I use TuneIn radio, UPnPlay, and they both work. Iheartradio seems to not work with anything anymore, but has stations i like. Streaming seems ok here.
Interesting. Iheartradio works for me on my EVO 4G. So does the Xiiaalite (or whatever the shoutcast renamed streamer is now).
I got Xiiaalite to work briefly the other day. Then after about 5 minutes it said it kept buffering. Iheartradio did the same but never started.
I believe it *MIGHT* have something to do with the ads being taken away. I'm just guessing. Or a broken pipe somewhere, but that wouldn't make sense if some other streamers are able to do it.
**Correction** i Reverted Adfree back and Xiialivelite still doesn't work, nor does i heart radio (((
I've tried to find a TV/video streamer that works with no joy SBP TV most notably doesn't work though the app is running fine on my PDN. Crystal TV and others all give me the same problem in that they seem to be unable to open the video or audio streams.
I'm running TNTlite 2.0.2
Slaterman
Someone suggested in the Slingplayer thread that disabling stagefright fixes slingbox streaming. I wonder if it would work for other streaming apps.

I'll have to try that. Anyone here a VLC user? I can't seem to get it to work either with any of the apps out there on the market.
I'm using TVersity to do my streaming. It has a flash interface that works quite nicely. It's not exactly what I want but it gets the job done. It's a little bit of a pain to setup, but it's the only solution I was able to get consistently working.
I had trouble getting the Slacker app to stream. I'm running a TnT Lite which has a modified /etc/hosts file to reduce ads, so I edited /etc/hosts and took out all of the "extra" entries that roebeet put in and it works fine, now.
I understand there's an app in the Market that will do this for you if you're not comfortable editing /etc/hosts or just don't know how to do it. Supposedly you install the app and then click on Revert.
Gmote works to stream your PC media
Gmote is the only app I've found that streams video from my home media PC to the Gtab.
AndroStream and VLC Stream and Convert, will stream over RTSP, but Gtab only plays audio.
Stream with Orb Live
I got used to the OrbLive app. That thing works great on my EVO, anyone have any idea why it cant work on the GTAB ?
FWIW I'm streaming my home audio library with AudioGalaxy just fine on vegan beta 3.
With Orb, I had much better luck avoiding the app and just logging in at mycast.orb.com and using the web interface. I found that setting the User Agent in Dolphin HD to Android made it easier to use. I was even able to stream movies from my NAS, which is pretty cool!

I am running an MT-DAAP server at home and the DAAP program from the market loads and streats great on the Tab running Vegan.
I haven't tried any video streaming since there is no Myth front end for Android yet.
I was developing some software for Chromecast when I discovered that it is only 720p, even on the Ultra model. So I decided to look into offscreen rendering on Android, which is possible. But I haven't been able to quite figure out how I could make a phone render an image and then send it to the Chromecast. All the streaming protocols it seems to support require some crazy backed server setup with tons of files, am I missing something stupid or is it just a pain?
Have you looked into UPnP?
I believe it is pretty simple. I tried to do something similar in the past, but the (old) phone on which I tried to set it up kept crashing.
If it's for personal use, you can use BubbleUPnP. It's good.

I thought that was only for port forwarding, if I could make something use that to stream to a Chromecast that would be great.
What would I need to do on the computer/phone and on the Chromecast receiver to make this work?
This would be aimed for a real release, so using another app wouldn't fly in my opinion.

Chromecast is UPnP-ready, I believe. So, you won't have to do anything on it.
I don't really know what you have to do on the PC/phone, since I have only tried it with that app.
But, I believe UPnP might be the protocol you need. Look into it.
