Online radios via XiiaLive - Google Chromecast

Tunein radio hasn't yet said anything about supporting chromecast.
The other great app for online radios - XiiaLive - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.DroidLiveLite&hl=en apparently has plans for this.
Just read on its forum - http://support.xiialive.com.
If you're interested in this, search for chromecast on that page and comment/up vote that idea so that maybe we'll have this soon. :thumbs_up:

Good to know!
XiiaLive has such an odd interface, but what I really like is how aggressively it reconnects when there is trouble with the stream. Many other apps just sort of give up.

Live streaming over the internet

Hi
i was wondering since tmobile mda have a camera and a wi fi connection
can i do live video streaming over the internet.
please fellows i think if we can make this work it will be grt
do help me on this topic and need more and more feedback to inspire the gr8 people do something about it
Thanks
This worked for me. It is also stated on there web site that our device is supported. Great for filming weddings or birthday parties allowing family and friends around the world to watch live.
http://www.comvu.com
Also just for kicks. Try this if you wanna watch tv from anywhere. 8)
http://www.orb.com
ps. the current version of ORB as of today has a nasty bug that constantly reads you hard drive and causes video to chop. get the 1.01.0639 version dated Feb 23. It works better. Or download a newer version it it exist. On your device when loged into your ORB page I suggest going to "Set Speed" link at bottom and setting Device Web Speed to 60k and checking the Remember speed box. This will prevent rebuffering issues.(at least on my US T-Mobile network)
thanks for your reply i have used the comvu and orb but i was wondering if there is something else that can be used to do the live streaming see i dont want to be dependent on a a service provider i was like what if i host my own live video streaming server and the if there is a software that i can use to stream the video over the internet
but i guess this is still too far away
ya. dont know anything that does that. I know that Microsoft Portrait will stream. But to only one user. You cant do multicast without a server.
hey where can i find this microsoft potrait and yeah i can make my self a server so that i can multicast to few people around my family all over the globe that will be cool

Windows Media Encoder 9
WME9 is free and allows encoding / streaming. Maybe you can broadcast using one of those other tools to a server running WME9 and use it for other clients. I'm not familiar with Microsoft Portrait, so I'm not sure if that's capable.

I really hate to not contribute in a thread, but could you please start using punctuation in your posts? It's really difficult to read what you're saying with any punctuation. And no, paragraphing is not considered punctuation.

Stream from online radio

Hi all,
Am tearing my hair out trying to figure this one out! I've got:
Windows Media
Coreplayer
GSPlayer
(Flash, not sure if this is needed)
All installed, as I'd like to listen to a radio station stream that I work on/manage the internet stream/technical setup for.
However it just won't connect at all! I have managed to play another shoutcast stream, but still never managed to get this one working.
Can anyone advise on why this could be? The stream in question is:
http://mobile:[email protected]:8000/hartlepool-mp3
Which works fine on all other players on the PC, etc, but cannot seem to figure why its not working on my Kaiser.
Thoughts/things to try, etc please!!
Can't see the link in full to analyse, or click it to open it.
Please repost it, perhaps not as a link but just as text and I'll take a look in the morning.
Cheers,
Joe
Oh strange when I pasted the link it was just a link, must have been the forum software that auto-linked it. Here it is, just cut the spaces out
http :// mobile:user @ arctic.thebmwz3.co.uk:8000/hartlepool-mp3
I've been trying a few other things here, and still cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with the stream/player on my Kaiser.
I've tried changing the stream from mp3 to ogg, same problem, have also set it not to require the username/password authentication, same problem.
Not sure what to try, anyone??
I stream a few stations, here's what I did;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350675
Good Luck.
Thanks for the tips, unfortunately since this is a small UK regional/community station that I operate, it isn't in any public listings, so cannot stream via pages or other links.
The bit i'm struggling with is why the kaiser won't stream the link, as its a fairly standard CBR mp3 streamed from icecast2 at 64kbps/22kHz and I cannot stream either over 3G or wlan when I'm at home, so that negates and proxy or anything like that with my cell provider, so it looks like I'm struggling with some form of incompatibility with my audio applications and the stream that I'm running.
Help! Don't suppose any kind souls out there can try my stream I posted and see if they can play it on their kaiser?
Thanks everyone for your input, its been driving me mad this!!

I tried the stream as posted, with .mp3 rather than -mp3, and without the mobile:[email protected] both as . and -
It couldn't even find the stream! Kept saying the file (etc, not typing the whole message) could not be found. Tried it on a couple of other streams for local radio I know of in South Wales, and it was fine. Couldn't seem to handle Radio 1 tho, but no loss there...
I have no clue about streams, so can't help with what might be wrong, but least this confirms that a Kaiser and WMP will run streaming internet radio. Maybe there is something on the config that a PPC couldn't handle? Does this stream work for you:
http://gmga.planetwideradio.com/RealWales
Thanks Steve, thats what I was wondering. Yes your link works fine which confirms that the streaming to my WM kaiser is fine, its obviously how I'm handling my own stream.
Interesting that you've tried all the combinations that I did, and with no luck, and yes very strange it doesn't find the feed at all and errors with unknown url, etc, I'm wondering if its somehow because the stream runs on port 8000 instead of 80?
However, in pocket IE, you can get to http://arctic.thebmwz3.co.uk:8000/ which is the admin for my icecast2 server, so PIE does seem to accept the alternative port too.
I'm very confused! I'm going to post to the icecast2 forum to see if there are any answers, but anyone else can give me any pointers too??
Cheers!
Right,
Chatting to the Icecast streaming developers, they suspected the authentication being the problem.
So I disabled authentication and sure enough the stream connected immediately, so I suspect there is a bug in the internet/backend on the WM that doesn't interpret multiple colons correctly, as obviously I had two in the URL, one for the TCP port number to use, and one to separate the username/password.
So think thats the problem.

Slacker Radio is available!

Somehow it snuck out under the radar, but Slacker Radio is now available from the market.
i link or maybe a little description would be nice
http://www.slacker.com/

Nice! im anixios to use it. im starting to grow old of pandoras selections

Yeah, will be a good supplement to Pandora and Last.FM. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have caching support like the Blackberry version.
Caching might be an issue, but speaking as a Slacker subscriber with a G2 portable player, this means that I'll have a greater variety of music available on my G1 than on my G2.
So many music players to choose from!
anyone else annoyed by having to log in over and over again, plus having to enter the captcha when logging in? I've had to log in 10+ times in the last 3 or 4 hours.

[Request] Suggest A FM Radio App

I'm looking for an app to stream music. But I can't seem to find anything that works. Like I want to be able to stream for say something like, Edge 102.1 (Toronto). Or something similar and free to XM Radio.
I use Pandora and I love it. It's sort of... genre-based internet radio. I do have force closes once in a while when switching channels a lot but the app is worth it to me.
Edit: Does not pull in AM/FM if that is strictly what you're looking for. You search for a band you like and it will play similar music to the band you chose. Each search creates a "channel" you can switch between.
Hmm. Pandora sounds great and I've heard a lot about it. But, I can't seem to download it in Canada Any suggestions on how to get it or other apps?
you can try iheartradio but i had problems with it not streaming very good
Such a bummer that the markets are not the same across countries. Since it's a free app I think I could post it to the forums without it being warez, right?

I hope so lol
here it is
for future reference, check out market enabler to unlock the market. i've never used it though so i'm not sure if it works.
edit: these are both free apps but if a mod feels like i shouldnt post these, please delete this post
I use an app called AOnlineRadio, it's free in the marketplace. Only plays shoutcast-style streams, but has directory and search functions. Doesn't seem to support Ogg, afaik.
--W5i2
Doesnt last.fm do the same thing? maybe that will work
Awww. Pandora won't work in my country it says (Canada).
I'm trying to use Last.fm in my browser, so I'm on the mobile site, but I can't seem to play any music. I don't see any option to play song or anything.
search the market for last.fm, but I bet it won't work in the great white north either. You could try Slacker, and there is another that I know works in europe but requires a subscription and I can't for the life of me remember it's name, sorry - 5 AM here.
Pandora and Slacker are US-only due to licensing restrictions by the recording industry. I'm not sure about last.fm since audioscrobbler was pretty popular years ago even in Europe.
You could try some of the shoutcast streaming apps or maybe do a market search for "<country> radio". There may even be something available for Canadians that we don't have in the US market.
I just found one and it's great: "A Online Radio"
It's streaming though, so you'll probably want 3G I'd imagine. (USA here)
I just really want a good streamer to use in Canada since I have 6GB and I'm not using it all up. Bluetooth streaming to my car stereo would be a nice replacement to my actual radio.
i use stream furious
works pretty fine for me (in austria)
there where even the radiostations installed that i downloaded it for. and you can add them yourself too

miracast and xbmc

was thinking about this possibly being a sweet setup hopefully miracast will be implemented into the device or possible being implemented into xbmc having that along the airplay option on xbmc enabled would make this a pretty sweet device
i purchased(preordered one) but I was hoping it would be more so like a media center device kinda like google tv but no hdmi out so no google tv overlay. But if I could use this to do miracast with my 4.2 sgs3 and whenever friends come over can use xbmc to allow them to do airplay that would be really cool
reason i bring up miracast support is because supposedly is supported in tegra 3
i've been trying to figure/find out how you go about setting up a miracast server but the documentation doesn't seem to exist not saying that i have the ability to implement but i wouldn't mind taking a look into it
thoughts?
This is more of a question for xbmc team. I suggest you provide that feedback on their forum. There was a talk of xbmc supporting miracast but no eta.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium
As long as it supports PLEX, I am sold!

I've heard the documentation costs around $200 and that might not even be all of it. Or I might be pulling that number out of air, don't remember where I saw that, but did find this:

I am more interested in seeing the Android Transporter Player ported to Ouya, except that they haven't released their source code on the sending side yet...

I'm not from familiar with Miracast. All I know is what the Wiki page said. It really reads like DNLA. And from my experience, this has been something that can be app dependent. Since I have no experience with Miracast, I don't know if it's full mirroring or just certain apps.
That said, Miracast may just be work versus just installing individual apps. Unless there is something in the application code for specific devices, if you side load an APK, it should run on the Ouya. Doesn't mean it will run well or look correct. Thus, you may be able to just side load XBMC. I know I'll try it with Plex, Netflix, Hulu, various sports--MLB, NHL, NBA, etc--and so on.
I couldn't figure out what the end result you were suggesting about friends coming over and their mobile devices.

I believe Miracast is primarily for screencasting - ie it just mirrors what is on the device's screen onto the TV or whatever is receiving. And I believe the previous poster was saying that it would be nice if it is easy to screencast from your phone to the TV and allow visiting friends to be able to easily screencast their content as well - so if one person has a video they want to show everyone, it's not a hassle to pull it up on the big screen. I think this is what a lot of us want.
