Webserver and Kaiser

I would like to do on my Kaiser what I can do on the PC:
I go inti the Internet Explorer and add a special TCPIP address and then I can see my Web camera - when I do this on the KAISER I don`t see the life pic !
Any explanations or help from the great community ?

May I ask the other way round - How co I get access to the camera in my network ????

Maybe your webcamera uses a speciel active-x component, that your Kaiser doesn't recognise... Or flash...

Yes I can choose between active x and Java ...on the PC

Activex or Java is not supported.
On your desktop, you can try to view the properties of the stream (e.g. mms://ip: port or http://ip: port/camimg.jpg) and try to open it directly on your device.
The best solution I found sofar for viewing ipcameras/webcameras on my tytn2 is webcamxp (http://www.webcamxp.com/).
They have a nice pocketpc/smartphone interface.
It works very well if you install the adobe flash plugin (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/) on your device.

I read about the flash player - could describe me what the use of it will be ?

In addition to activex and java, webcampxp has the possibility to broadcast in flash. Use the flash plugin to display the live stream in PIE.

The flash player plays flash files (as the name indicates).
Obviously webcamxp converts your webcam pics into flash format, which you can view with flash player.

Thanks a lot for your kind help ....I installed now the flash player but when I go into the IE and add the TCPI adress of the camera (http://....) there is still no change - I see nothing ???
Can I see with the flash player the live pics ???

It will most likely not work with your current webserver software/hardware as you said it is only capable of activex and java broadcasting.
webcamxp is just another webserver software solution which runs on your desktop. It supports most ipcameras. In combination with the flash plugin you are able to view your ipcameras on your tytn

So for all other programms it will not be of help ? only in conjunction with webcampyx ??

Another alternative is viewcommander mobile (http://www.ivimg.com/products/vcmobile.htm). With this application installed on your device you can connect directly to your ipvideoserver. No use of PIE.
I couldn't however view a live camstream over a gprs/umts connection. Viewing with a wlan connection worked fine.

With this software it works !!! thanks so much for this advice ...

Hi Peter, as your question is now answered I thought it would be ok to hijack the thread. Could I ask what software you are using to host your webcam on your server?
I would like to do the same with my logitech quickcam and windows home server.

One camera is from axis the other from trust - both have there special software.

doest it also work over gprs?
I had some trouble connecting to my aviosys ip 9100 video server over gprs.

VNC or Teamviewer type server

I have VNC as well as Teamviewer Clients running on SD Froyo with no problems. Does anyone know of a working Server?
Would very much like to control and view the NC from my pc.
BTW... there is a so called "droid vnc server" which does not work.

Remote access
There are a few ways you can go: (Sorry I don't have the links but a search should provide them)
Samba server - do a search here on the forums (free)
File Expert - has a built-in HTTP server (Market - free)
WiFi File Explorer Pro (Market - paid)

Thanks... but what I am looking for is a "Remote Control" Server .
Like VNC, where I can view and control the NOOK or any android device from a windows or Linux VNC viewer

Gotcha
Gotcha - my misunderstanding...
I have that for my iPhone - it would be cool to have control of the interface.

WEBKEY
I have not confirmed this works on NC yet but I use WEBKEY everyday on my epic while at work. It works like a charm, I leave the phone in the other room and control the audio and sms via the network. works over the internet as well as local network.

proxy complication - access national media from outside of the nation

Just thought I'd post a little bit about how you can have media streaming to work reliable which has any kind of GeoIP, e.g. watching BBC iplayer from outside UK, or ITVplayer outside UK.
So we all know how to get Flashplayer on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, its download the flashplayer apk and the Firefox Beta, I'll not cover that.
I also assume you have a UK proxy server you control, like a Linux server in the remote country.
The core problem is there isn't a FOXY PROXY plugin for Firefox Beta on Android yet. Foxy Proxy is brilliant it lets you control precisely which URLs to route over a proxy, so e.g. you can simply use a *bbc* and *itv* through the proxy.
A little known fact is that the remote site's GeoIP checker is not the same remote IP as that which does the media streaming, so you need only be routing through the proxy for traffic-light traffic and go direct to the media streaming IP otherwise. With FoxyProxy the media streaming sites are not (for some reason) URLs from the media service. e.g. BBC's streaming is a *llnl* service, ITV's player is 99.3.0.0/16 for media streaming.
So given the browser does have a "whitelist" or "blacklist" capability you get from FoxyProxy addon for Firefox, you have to the mirror opposite with the Proxy settings.
The only way I've found to do this is ProxyDroid, it has the concept of "proxy all but not these" so it has a blacklist. So what I have to do is have Proxydroid route ALL traffic, EXCEPT and then give the list of the exceptions. If I want to watch the remote media content then enable ProxyDroid, it connects as if its in the remote country but bypasses the proxy for the bandwidth-heavy task.
Having the exception list for Proxydroid makes a real difference, it moves from unwatchable to performing very well.
To get the exception list, well either someone can do the effort for you and post the blacklist online but to be honest all that the media streamers will do is change their IP addresses so that cat'n'mouse game you'd lose eventually.
So a more assured way is for the remote proxy server to be running a traffic analyser. A simple one is Darkstat. Install it on the remote system.
Then, clear the darkstat database (stop darkstat, rm the deb, start darkstat). Then on your Nexus 7, enable ProxyDroid, and begin streaming media. As you're proxying through the remote server anyway, in browser to go the darkstat web server (e.g. 192.168.0.1:667, whatever is the IP on the LAN of your proxy server and the port you've configured) and look for the BANDWIDTH HEAVY traffic. Then, disable proxydroid on the Nexus, and place the bandwidth heavy subnet in the blocklist in proxydroid, e.g. if ITVplayer is streaming off 199.3.x.y then tell Proxydroid to not use 199.3.0.0/116, that will allow all those IP 193.3.something.something to bypass the proxy.
Overall, this is quicker to do with a Tablet and a desktop PC side by side than all on the tablet as its lots of swapping between windows, until you've got the exceptions subnets list.
However, it all works. The method is universal, it will work with any country, any kind of geoIP blocker and you only need a Linux server in the country which does GeoIP, either from a friend telling it won't saturate their upload bandwidth after you've done the traffic analysis.
Also, as this method bypasses the proxy server for bandwidth-heavy, you have a proxy server with little bandwidth, because you're only using to find the bandwidth-heavy IPs to bypass the proxy.
Makes a big difference.

pay for a cheap vpn or vps, $2 a month, login to that :good:

I recommend Hideman VPN. It's fast and reliable.

I've been using Witopia for the last year and it has been running perfectly. Works out to about $5/month which isn't too bad considering the number of servers/locations you get. Pair that up with the OpenVpn app from the Play Store and it works great.

BBC iplayer on chromecast outside UK

Folks,
I know there are threads out on XDA for this. But i need some workarounds or help.
I have BBC Iplayer working fine on my mobile using Hola outside UK. But problem arises when i cast the content to my chromecast. The content is not displayed although i get the BBC iplayer logo on my TV screen.
Can anyone help ?? I have a router which does not support iptables changes as suggested on some of the threads here on XDA !
Thanks in advance !

Your router probably doesn't support a VPN either then, so you would need a DNS unblocking service with support for the BBC iPlayer, something like Unlocator or one of its many competitors. The Chromecast doesn't let you change the DNS manually, so you'll need to follow the directions provided by the DNS service for how to get the right DNS addresses from your router to the Chromecast. And you'll also need to block the Google DNS addresses in your router using the static route method in order to force the Chromecast to use the DNS addresses you provide.
If you can't be bothered to do all that, there are a couple of other alternatives:
You could just use tab-casting and put up with the slightly jerky video quality that usually produces on the Chromecast.
Or you could use an app like PlayOn or Plex to relay the BBC video stream from your computer to the Chromecast, but you'd still need a VPN or DNS service other than Hola on your computer since Hola is only a browser extension. BTW, be aware that using Hola is a privacy concern because they monitor your viewing habits and sell that information commercially. There are competitors like Zenmate and Proxmate who do not do that.

I have a better optio...cast the screen...but was hoping to find something. efficient...thanks...

Buy a new chromecast and root it before it connects to the internet, then just change the DNS on the chromecast.

Google for UK Smart DNS to avoid such kind problem. It's easier and faster than vpn

Hi, i want to know if we can use apps for streaming torrents
I have tryed torrenttv but it have read that doesnt work on the last chromecast update, so I try anothers one, like popcorn, but this app doesnt work with magnet or torrent files, so, what we can use to it?
Im trying Isoplex, Zona but cant cast to chromecast
any idea?

Torrent video player, i don't know if now it has chromecast support

In my opinion, use showbox or HDcinema. Much faster than the torrent competitors
Or

Use popcorn time - streams torrents well

Plex is your best bet

Can you explain how to use it with torrents?

Well, you download torrents (legal ones of course) using your VPN for "privacy" reasons... Download PMS onto your computer with the files you'd like to play on it. You set up the media folders for plex, you cast the downloaded files to your chromecast using your smartphone or the chromecast extension on your browser.
Also, reference this for later..
Virtual Machine running a vpn and your torrent client "so we don't have to worry about nosy 3rd parties"
PMS on the host machine, the vpn will interfere with Plex when it is on, limiting the effectiveness of the Plex Pass, i.e. you won't be able to watch your plex library away from home.
And when it comes to folder sharing between the host and virtual client, use network shared folder settings NOT SHARED USB... This way you have real-time access from both machines at once.

Be happy !!!

Alot of trackers DO NOT like it when people livestream active downloads. It clogs the arteries of the interweb
