I currently have an HTC Wizard G4 Locked running WM6 Business Edition and have Opera installed as my browser. I have TMobile in the US with the full $30 data plan.
I also have a home computer at home with a TV Tuner card so that I can watch TV. Orb Media Streaming is on and working as I can access it from a laptop anywhere.
When I go to mycast.orb.com, I can login to my computer and see the channels/files that I have. So I click on one, and it shows up asking if I want to open or save the asx files. I say open and WM Player opens up and says locating. Then it says The server is Busy or not responding. Try again later. If I open the asx in TCPMP, it says URL is not openable. What is the problem? I am streaming the video through port 81 from my computer. I would appreciate any answers. Thx
Use PIE, I never got it to work on opera.
Sounds like Opera may not be passing the stream file correctly to WMP.
I would just use PIE. That's what I access Orb through on WM6 and it works great.
the problem is that the codecs for wm10 are different than the ones from wm9. the is another thread in the wizard forums that has the wm9 files. you just copy them into the windows directory and you're good to go.

It works on my HTC Advantage and Palm Treo 700P but not on my Dopod 818 Pro
. You click the watch video link, it will bring up windows media player for the clips.
The disadvantage is that YouTube Mobile doesn't have all contents converted yet.
lol..i was just gonna start the same thread...lucky u hve posted first
I have tested the site on my hermes and found the site is functioning properly without any problem. The video is loaded onto the HTC Streaming Software.
Will it work through WIFI?
When I try to open a video it says 'media file type not supported' .. anyone know whats up with that?
In my case after I have pressed the link to play the movie, the windows media player is activated, tries to connect for a few seconds but then a message box pops up "Unspecified Error". My device is a imate Jasjam.
Regards
mine doesnt even go to windows media player.. it opens .. REALplayer?
mine is working fine over wifi.
when i press the link to play the videos then HTC Streaming Media software appears and it plays the video fine. i think the files are played through the rtsp protocol.
Results on HTC-UNI (02EXEC)
Media player comes up with unspecified error, changed file associations in TCPMP (allow 3gp etc) error = RTSP protocol not supported! hope this helps peple to find a work around and yes i was using wifi as a connection)
mine doesnt open media player.. it opens REAL player... and says file not supported.. I dont get it
I also try to see why I cannot open link on my HTC Prophet. Maybe it needs at least WM5 to work?
It runs on my HTC Advantage with Wifi, ActiveSync, Bluetooth DUN to Sprint EV-DO, and T-Mobile Edge.
Funny thing is my Treo 700P works fine.
I will try my different HTC devices tonight to see if any of those is working with Youube Mobile.
unknown error (using activesync 4.5 on wm6). but that will get fixed. once its in google's hands its golden.
works on my trinity orange uk rom thru wifi. it uses pvplayer which i think is a version of realplayer/htc streaming media.

I am not sure about what "call wmp instead of streaming" means.
Do you mean you want WMP not to streaming? Which means save target link first instead of playing.
Or, get wmp to be the program to play video from YouTube?
YouTube Mobile uses .3gp format for its video instead of flash.
3gp is a simplified version of the MP4. (Which is supposed to be std. for 3G phones)
Basically, whatever program associated with .3gp will take it over when you click the "watch video" link.
I too get the "unspecified error" in WMP.
Viatorx, use TCPMP.
I also had the problem of it trying to open realplayer and not working. I did a hard reset and voila, it works through the streaming player now. I am slowly re=adding my apps and I'm starting to think it may be the Custel Cingular Apps program.... I hope not, as I like the programs. I'm using 3g's take on lvsw rom..... fyi
HI
If i am not mistaken basically you need to load an appropriate media player that supports the YouTube streaming format and it will work. i believe that RSFTP is what u get on WMP10, so if the format coming out on YouTube is not RSFTP u not gonna b able to play it off WMP!
HTC Streaming Media
The mobile YouTube video site { works best with the HTC streaming media player v2.10 build 1025.621} It comes on most wm6 rom. I have this player on my MDA, running Core 2.0, it works great and connects fast after you get to http//m.youtube.com using wifi.
Youtube launches the Stream Player and the player gives the error message "unable to find network" after a few seconds. Any suggestions?

same with me.
Hello,
I purchased a NAS recently and have set about storing all my data. Also included in the upgrade were a new N router and N card for the laptop. The N stuff runs at 270Mbps which means I can now stream DVD/HD content onto my laptop (and a HD tele when I get one!). Anyways, I also convert DVDs to WMVs for my PDA, sad I know but I do it and use it.
So eventually I thought about about this; can I install a DVD player on my pda so I can stream it over my wifi network. I've looked all over the web and found nothing. Is there anyone out there with the same idea or least got a name of some DVD software for my PDA?
Cheers in advance...
Oh by the way, so far I must have at least 20-30 apps on my PDA and each one of them has been free, I would very much like to keep this record spotless!

windows media encoder can help you with the actual streaming, try it (should be free of charge).
now you need to think of something that will help encode your dvd into the media encoder, live of course.
will be happy to hear about the final solution you've found.
good luck...!
I cannot believe I got response so quickly! Only joined up recently but been reading this forum for a long time. I'll check out your suggestion shlomki and thanks for your quick response.
Ill post my findings, or further questions!
If Windows Media Encoder doesnt work, try VLC. www.videolan.org
Ok, so downloaded media player encoder, very confused but ran checkup utility and I do not have an appropriate dvd player on my laptop. My intervideo one started playing up so had to remove it. Now using AVSDVDPlayer. Moved on to VLC media player, thanks vlodeck for suggestion. Firslty the playback is much better than the AVSDVDPlayer, I struggled to broadcast a stream but I think I could sort it over time. I'll push on with that.
Still, I'm not quite sure these are the routes I want to take. I upgraded my PDA to wm6 recently and found I could no longer play my wmv's in TCPMP. After scouring through this forum I found all I needed to do was download these two DLL's and drop them into my windows folder on the PDA. Something to do with renaming codecs in wm6. I was hoping I could do this again, say download DVD codecs and drop them in the windows dir, then hoping to go to "open" and then be able to select a VOB file from either TCPMP or windowsmediaplayer.
The VLC method seems like I need to interact or at least save files that I wish to broadcast when really, I would just like to access VOB files on my NAS via the PDA with a vob player.
Any help and suggestions are more than welcome, either with what has been suggested already or new ones!
Cheers.
got the vlc player to broadcast so I can view the strem on my pc on wmp. the next problem i encounterd was on my ppc. used the same url on ppc wmp as pc one and no joy
anyone had this part working??
cheers
Hey guys,
I have my own HTTP MP3 Server set up that I would like to access remotely. The thing is, I use GSPlayer to copy and paste the link to stream the MP3, but is there some kind of plugin that when I click on the song it will automatically start streaming it. I pretty much would like to see something like the way YouTube works with TCPMP except with MP3s. Any ideas?
I think WMP should work, but EDGE is to slow for steaming media in my area, so I'm not 100% positive. However, when I open up my copy of TCPMP and look under file associations, there is an "HTTP Protocol" Try disabling GSPlayer, and going to the URL of your server in PIE, I beleive TCPMP should open right up and just start playing/

It doesn't. It asks me if I want to save it. I just want to stream it. I'm on Sprint's EVDO with my Mogul and YouTube works flawlessly when I stream it. All I need to see is if there's a plug-in that will force IE or Opera to launch the URL in GSPlayer or TCPMP. I've tried searching all over, but I can't seem to find anything.
Hmm, that's interesting. Could you post the link so that we can try on our devices and see what happens?
Just try to go to any site that has an MP3 file there and see if it will ask you to save it or not. I don't want to post my HTTP File Server up here for everyone to access.
bump.. does anyone know of any RSS MP3 Players? I have some XMLs generated for those.
bump again
I believe SPB Insight has the ability to download podcasts OTA.
But it doesn't support MP3s.
bump.. to the top! Is this impossible as of now? I didn't think it would be since there's a YouTube plug-in.
hello.........?
hi,
I'm working on some streaming media app for mobile phones/ppc, and use my Polaris for testing the 3gp rtsp streaming. When connected over the air (hsdpa/umts) the rtsp streaming works fine with the inbuilt htc streamin media app. However when I connect the polaris to the internet either via WLAN or activesync (through the host pc) the streaming doesn't work at all. the streaming media app opens as soon as I click the rtsp link just fine, but then just says can't connect.
Any ideas on how to get it to work via wlan/async? otherwise all this testing might be getting expensive
the htc streaming media app (v 2.20 build 1026.711) is from the stock polaris rom.
alternatively another rtsp 3gp/mp4 player app that works with all connections would be just as fine, but some quick googling around didn't turn up any obvious contenders -- the htc app seems to be pretty good at what it does; except for the connection problems that is...
hmm.. I guess nobody else is either using steaming media on their polaris, or I'm the only one having problems with it... I just don't understand why it won't work over WLAN instead of only OTA...
Exact same problem here. Working well over 3G with any streaming app, however it's never working over WLAN.

I just thought the inbuilt Streaming Media app, was completely useless...
I didn't know it woulld work over cellular and not over wifi.....
You're the first person I've come across who's managed to get it to work at all......!
I use realplayer and the built in windows media player for my streaming..... but as I say, I've only ever tried it over wifi....
I may investigate over HSPDA, 3G, etc.....
How is the windows mobile realplayer? does it install other stuff that integrate everywhere into the system like the PC version (which I will never install again) or is it a well behaved ppc app? And does it work for streaming over wlan?

Sorry I mean, I use Real Player for pocket pc AND Windows Media player for streaming .wma/asx files.
It's well behaved from what I can work out.. It's like back to the days of realplayer 8, when it was a well behaved little application....
As for streaming... I've only ever streamed over wlan.... Including a couple of bbc tv programs....
There is a site for the BBC streams, as they're all rstp files, Real Player won't open the links.. (Don't ask why, I have no idea) but in theory.. the HTC Streaming Media thingy should do, as that's the type of file PREfix, it's looking for...
howdy all,
i just loaded my gtablet with tnt lite 2.2.1. i love this device. i have a server with a large repository of videos avi, mkv, ect. i stream from the server to my pc's and xboxs. is there any way to play these files on the gtab (streaming from the server)? the server is running server 2008 r2 and i would rather not install anything on the server.
ive tried rockplayer and others with no luck
I was able to browse my server with es explorer find a video and play it.
Es explorer gives a "sorry, not supported media type" or tries to stream and never starts.
Still running stock gtab but one of first things I did was had copy a xvid/avi, jpg and mp3 to an SD card and surprisingly they all worked. The files wouldn't play in stock player but they would using es explorer. Just no controls going that route.
After reading this post I realized es explorer had a LAN option so I went ahead and connected my qnap nas. I tried to browse those same files but from the nas only the mp3 would play. The mp3 played but no controls. The avi gave me same error you got and the jpg said it was loading but just got a blank screen.

If your server has upnp capability you can use an app called upnplay. That, and Rockplayer works pretty well for now.
Gmote
The free app Gmote works well for me.
Doesn't transcode on the fly though.
thanks SpinKix
i use gmote on my media center pc but didnt know about the play on android feature.
what i have come too is that until there is better codex support ill have to live with gmote or orb installed on my server.
The best results I got is to install ORB on your computer ( goto orb.com) and then setup ORB to point to your media files.
Next install the FLASH plugin for the GTablet. (Search for out this site)
using the GTable web browser, Connect to you computer (Running orb using MyCast.Orb.Com)
(Note you may have to setup Port Forwarding on you home router)
Go to control panel in ORB and set streaming to FLASH and Layout to Home Theater.
You now have a easy to use interface to all your media files (If you have a TV Tuner card, you can stream your tv to your GTablet. Also Pictures and Music
upnplayer works fairly well. It plays back standard def MP4's under my PS3MediaPlayer nicely. But other container support is lacking, even standard AVI - but it is an alpha version so it might get better.
No Vorbis support. Boo for that.

Well, it DID work on TNTLite 2.2, but after flashing to VEGAn 3.0, gmote wants to play the video on the server and treats the gTab as a remote.
After trying VEGAn 3.0 I was hooked, so now I'm using Serviio on the server and upnplayer on the gTab.
Still no way to play a transcoding stream live.... frustrating!
Hope gingerbread fixes this so we don't have to wait for honeycomb.

brookfield,
A great big THANKS!!
I've been trying to figure out how to strange TV to my Gtab. I have both a Slingbox and a HAVA. But Slingplayer has been flaky, and I didn't realize that Orb had a Flash option. Just tried that, streaming to my Gtab using the Orb flash player.
COOL!!!
Thx,
Jim
How did you make that work?
