Hi All, just a quick question im sure someone can answer
Im wondering if its possible to stream videos from my pc and be able to watch them from my TD2 via Wi-Fi.
Ive tried googling information and all info points to streaming youtube on my device which i can already do.
Ive used Tversity to stream content to my PS3 which does all the transcoding on the fly but i havnt seen any support for Windows Mobile devices.
Does anyone know if this is possible??
Found a way to do it and it works.....Putting the link here for others that want to try it and also providing screenshots of it working on my Stock TD2....downside is it requires CorePlayer which you have to purchase

Note:- Shake and Save wouldnt record a picture of the File i was playing but it does work.

Hi.
After hours of searching and reading here and endless talks with my mobileoperator without any luck, I turn to this fantastic community for your help.
My mobileoperator offers a "newspackage" which includes access to livestreaming of some of their tv programs. These are supposed to be viewed in Streaming Media, but I can't get it to work. I get a "Network cannot be found" error. It works on my Hermes, so I'm wondering if this is due to the lack of videodriver or if it's something else TyTNII related? All I can find here when searching is solutions to YouTube viewing problems.
Does anyone have any ideas or something I can try?
I'm using an original HTC WM 6.0 ROM (5.2.1620 18125.0.4.2) DK-version, but I don't mind to have a WWE version of Streaming Media, if that's gonna fix my problem.
Thank you in advance.
Firstly, make certain the streams you talk about are rtsp:// 3gp streams, because streaming media player is just the Real Player re-packaged.
Second, you must set the connection settings to use the same network you connect PIE with. For AT&T customers that is medianet. If that fails, let me know, I have a link to a working SP with some h.264 modificatios that has always worked for me.

Thanks for your reply
It is RTSP streams and I use the same connection as PIE. Still no luck.. I've even tried to edit the registry so that it is like the settings on my Hermes.
Strangely enough it worked on my Hermes when I used a ripped Dopod 838 streaming player. But I can't find a similar rip for the Kaiser.
Try this one

Hi,
Thank you so much, but it doesn't make any difference... Do you know, if it would be possible to make TCPMP or another application work with rtsp:/ streaming?
I did a search and can't find any threads on Netflix. I saw an ad on TV that they now offer on line streaming of movies...has anyone tried this on a tilt? For $4.99 that seems like a better deal than buying movies and downloading them on to the SD?
I watch streaming movies on my laptop using my Tilt as the modem, but I don't think there's a way to get it to work on a Windows Mobile device directly as you have to install a small activex app on your actual PC (it intregrates into windows media player) and then you watch streaming movies that way.
PS there is a way to download movies from your PC, remove the DRM from them, and then convert them to play on your Tilt. I won't go into that here, but if you google you will find info on how to do that.
That's too bad...I'm surprised somebody hasn't figured out a way to do it yet as that would be pretty popular.
Does anyone know if the WM Windows Media Player plays DRM encrytped files?
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.
Has anyone managed to find a way to play MPEG2 videos natively (i.e. without conversion) on the TD2 yet? Coreplayer 1.3.2 doesn't support it, neither does Windows Media Player or TF3D2. The main reason I want this feature is so I can dump TV recordings made on my PS3 (using PlayTV) onto my phone and watch them on the train to/from work.
As this would be a daily occurence, converting them to another format isn't going to be viable, I don't have the time or the patience :O)
If anyone has a solution, that'd be groovy, ta!
haha... i was gonna post the same question... I am still looking for an answer too googling around... will let you know when (if) I find something....
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
