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.

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

First of all thank you to all the developers on this site. Your work is truely amazing. Now, Below is a link to an article from engadget. They claim the Netflix streaming software that can be found on a few blu-ray players and soon on the xbox 360 is going to become open to the public to develope for other devices. Now ofcourse it requires a subscribtion to netflix but to just have the abilty to stream movies to the Tilt/kaiser would be great. Not to mention kick ATT mobile tv to the curb. Anyone wanna give it a try?
http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/netflix-api-open-to-all-let-the-developing-begin/
there is NO WAY a tilt has the processing power to handle a stream that big.
I mean it has to be possible if its able to get Mobile tv no?
it would be possible if you put a server somewhere to resize and compress the movies. You could stream them to your home computer then use something like slingbox mobile to re-encode them and push them to your phone. The problem is even with slingbox it is still laggy and generally not worth watching. The drivers on the kaiser suck, by 5G ipod plays movies flawlessly where the same movie on my kaiser sucks.
Maybe. I can watch streaming video on most sites with the Skyfire browser, so using that it might work.
But like someothers have said, might be too much data for the Kaiser to handle.
Now Im in a country right now that doesn't have a 3g network (f ing Belgacrap) ne who. For those in the US ,anyone care to go to netflix website on the tilt and just stream directly from them.
I know there are a few apps that connect the phone to the PC e.g.
My PhonePC, RDC, RealVNC etc.
May I know which one you can listen to "sound" on the phone (sound from the phone) which you play from PC (music from PC)?
I tried RDC, its fast but no sound.
I tried RealVNC, its quite laggy and no sound as well.
I tried Gremote, its only a remote control.
Any suggestion?
I think I can remember, that GRemote do this.

thanks, just tried but thats not really what i want.
What i want is, an app where I can use my phone to remotely control my PC on desktop and so that I can listen to music using my phone (sounds from my phone), from the songs thats are being stored on my PC, or even to movies.
anyone?
ok, just found out that Gmote plays streaming music just fine.
any app that plays streaming movie from my own pc?
streamed video will actually not work, cuz of network bandwidth and hero's processor .. or at least the quality would be really bad

what exactly is your problem ? If streaming audio/video to your phone, VNC/RDP is really not the right way ...

I managed to use gmote to stream audio (from my PC) to my phone
just wondering if there are any app that can do streaming video from my PC as well. thats all.
I have not heard anything other than Gmote.
So back in high school I used setup a simple HTTP server that allowed me to browse my music on the schools computers and play it there through VLC player. I figure since I have 160GB of music (way more than I can fit on my phone) I could probably do the same thing, but the problem I'm facing is what app would I use to browse the music?
Any ideas on how I could do this? Over the 3G network it should be ok, at least no worse than pandora and I would have access to all of my music.
Have a look at orb.. you can set it up to stream your entire media library to your device (even videos). It will auto-encode to a supported format and adapt the bit rate to your network speed. It's pretty sexual.

go get GMote, best app I've seen yet, works over wifi and 3G/Edge.
Another one for gmote.
Yet another vote for gmote here.
Gmote does not auto convert and will not play .avi. I use it exclusively for music, but I have never been able to get the video to play on my phone.

OP never asked about video, only music.
I tried out gmote but couldnt get it to work...I have a Belkin wireless router and I dont have a cpu hardwired to it. I messed around with some ports but apparently didnt do it right lol

I saw that. I was responding to the post about Orb. My music works flawlessly on gmote whether I am using wifi or 3g. I definitely give it 3 thumbs up.
Is there a way to send the sound coming from one's soundcard over wifi to a Dream phone?
Note: NOT to stream music or radio or video, there are lots of apps for that.

What are you trying to do then.
well, i dont know about transferring the sound coming out of the soundcard, but you can setup a samba share and then use Estrongs File Explorer to connect to it and you can play your music from your pc on your phone, but honestly you didnt give alot of in-depth info about what youre trying to do, so i dont know if thats what you want. I mean if you want to hear it in both places at once then thats not the way, but if you just wanna listen to music from your pc then its good.
You should always leave AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE for people when you post looking for help, that way people dont have to GUESS how to help you.
So like i said, if you just wanna listen to music without keeping it on your phone, get Estrongs (free in market) and setup a samba share (Windows Share) and connect to it and play away...
Please reply back with more in-depth info about what it is you're trying to accomplish, and maybe youll have a better chance at getting some decent help...as it stands your request is rather vague and your chances of getting a decent answer are slim so just let us know EXACTLY what it is you're trying to do and see if that gets you anywhere....hope this helps...

Well the question sums it up pretty well and it's fairly simple, I want to hear what my PC's is playing through the phone speaker or headset, eg if it's playing from a tuner card I want to 'pipe' the sound to the phone
You're going to need a compatible sound server running on the phone.
Look at pulseaudio.
Note: this is not going to be a simple project -- you need to get the pulseaudio server running on android. That means coding, compiling, etc.
Once pulseaudio server is running on the android phone, it is trivial to set the pulseaudio client on your computer to use the android phone pulseaudio server as its default output.
Good luck.
Bluetooth?
Not sure but is there a way to turn your phone into bluetooth headphones? That would probably be easier... Dunno.. Just putting it out there... If the phone supports it, programs like BlueSoleil (for pc) can pipe out all sounds over bluetooth.
do you have a wireless router? If so, you can use an app called Gmote. From there you can play music that's on your computer through your phone speaker. Also, you can use your phone to select music and have it stream through your computer. Finally, it also acts as a wireless mouse with your touch screen and you can use it to navigate instead of using your mouse if you are across the room. It's pretty convenient. I use it all the time.
I have Gmote and it's amazing, but one can only play files, I don't see a way to play the sound from the tunercard for example. Anyway not serious was just wondering if it were possible.
I've done some googling to no avail. Hopefully someone here might know the answer. Is it possible to stream audio from my PC to my phone? To be specific, I would like to listen to the audio coming from my PC i.e. if I'm watching a movie I'd like the movie's audio steaming from the device, not music. I'm also not talking about watching movies from my PC on the device i.e. Orb. Thanks for any help!
could you clarify it a different way? do you mean play just the audio on your phone while watching a movie on the pc?
i use subsonic to play music on my phone that resides on my pc with a server app on my pc.
you could also use streamfurious if you have a shoutcast playlist stream set up already
seeing what you guys were talking about, i remembered that i have winampremote instaled in my pc at home, and went to get the aplic from the market to use in my N1 (went also to another site to get the server app to install in my pc. it all worked well and i get access to my library at home. i see the names of the music, etc etc. the only thing that is not working is the sound (I can't hear anything ) is it possible the N1 phone couldn't play this kind o. streams?
if some of you could give a tip i would be much appreciated. i'm trying over the net and not kn my lan...
