I don't have a very large micro SD card so for fun I was going to try to stream stuff straight from my FTP.
Is there an application that allows you to map or link FTP connections to a "folder" so that the data would be accessible from other programs?
I've tried Resco Explorer 2008 and it doesn't seem to do that (even though it almost seems to hint that it can on their website).
Thanks!
a ftp cant stream
stream is a term used for media where the server send a bit at the time for the client to recieve rather then sending the whole "file" and then have the client play it
ftp's dont support streaming
I'm not trying to stream a video/audio if that is what you are thinking intead I just want to have constant access to multiple small files as they would be in a regular file system. This is doable by windows applications such as SFTP Drive or Novell Netdrive.
Either way the definition for "stream" doesn't suggest any certain way a file is accessed just that a "succession of data elements (be) made available over time."
Did someone find a program to map FTP to a folder?

I'm currently working on two new Bibles concurrently & I’ve written a map downloader. I’d certainly welcome any reader feedback BEFORE publishing the first version(s) of these Bibles - what you would like to read, what apps / services I shouldn't forget to elaborate on etc. I also seek info on whether there is any need for an enhanced version of the map downloader introduced in the last section.
The two Bibles are as follows:
a full roundup & tutorial on all kinds of multimedia streaming, including
listening to Internet radio stations & watching TV shows - the basics
accessing non-streamed network resources - file system-based, pre-created files over both local networks and the Internet
ORB, CorePlayer, TCPMP, PacketVideo’s PVPlayer etc. - all streaming-capable Windows Mobile clients
specific radio / TV listing apps like Resco Radio, Mundu Radio etc.
streaming (and/or transcoding) from a desktop computer using SHOUTcast servers, WME etc.
Problems with limited connections and RTSP (RealOne, HTC's Streaming Media etc.)
RTSP -> HTTP converter proxies
using a VPN connection to play back otherwise (using the given restricted connections) unplayable RTSP (non-HTTP)-based streams
etc.
A VPN Bible:
when may you need a VPN, even if you don’t need remote access to any other private network – for example, if and when you want to listen to /watch RealOne or 3GP (for example, Mobile YouTube or YLE Mobile) streams only streamed via RTSP (because of the client’s inability to switch to HTTP streaming)
configuring VPN servers under WinTel (and, probably, Linux) operating systems
how you can access already-existing VPN’s from Windows Mobile (not just the ones you configure yourself, but any of them)
a review & comparison of VPN-related literature (books), should you want to know more of this technology
Finally, upon a reader request (many people know I’m especially well versed in Internet protocols, including HTTP – the protocol behind the Web), I’ve thoroughly analyzed the HTTP communication used by http://map.meta.ua/, a well-known mapping service in Ukraine. My reader asked me to let for saving the individual maps in a file so that they can be browsed even without an active Internet connection and/or on a Pocket PC (where the original interface may prove pretty hard to use).
Needless to say, I've managed to write an early demo (it doesn’t support all functionalities of the original Flash client) of an app that does this. You can find the Java source of the app HERE. It’s just a demo showing it’s possible - it puts 20 images of Kiev (but you can easily modify it to save the fully zoomed-in map of any other city), continuously scrolling to the left, in ResponseX.png files (I've, in case you don’t want to fiddle with Java sources, the images HERE).
My question is as follows: does anyone need anything similar to download the maps of other online map sources? As, to tell the truth, I can’t follow the (desktop-based) advances in this area, I’m not sure whether it’s worth enhancing this app. As most Flash / ActiveX-based solutions seems to use pretty much the same protocol, I can enhance and further develop this application to download any map (of any town, not just in Ukraine) into PNG files for offline browsing or importing for GPS applications. Feel free to tell me if you need such functionality and whether there are other, better, downloadable maps that would result in my enhancing the application absolutely unnecessary.
Hi
I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a WebDAV client for Windows Mobile? I want to be able to access my MobileMe iDisk through my smartphone.
Obviously as it's just an extension of HTTP you can just enter the full path into the browser and then authenticate but you need to know the exact filename, no provision for directory listings etc. which a client would provide.
If anyone knows of one that would be great! If not I will try and have a go at developing one with my very limited knowledge of VB.net
Thanks.
There's a WebDav plugin available for TotalCommanderCE.
It also comes with FTP client and Network Browser plugins.
Check it out!

I'm trying to write one but making slow painful progress. But in the meantime if anyone else is looking for WebDAV, Kinoma Play has limited support in the sense that it will only allow you upload and download media files (music, video, pictures) but that works very well
Hi there,
I'm looking for an application whereby I can assess music on my pc wirelessly and browse/play them within Poweramp. I have seen applications that can sync the music within their own interface, or download the tracks but I wish to stream them over wifi/3g.
I can see that ES File Explorer may allow to browse my pc via ftp, I haven't tried this as of yet, but essentially I want to be able to see my pc music folder on my phone within poweramp (my preferred music player) and stream them as opposed to sync/download.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently to remotely access (in 3g as well WiFi) to my server to see my personal media (pics, music, video...but streaming video depends on your bandwidth) I use several apps but all of them use it's own media player so no way to pass music to PowerAmp..
They are:
Tonido
Plex
Qloud Media
You can try to access your Pc trough Samba share (\\servername\musicfolder) but not a really a wise idea if you care about the security of your pc...
Never tried by myself but should work:
Prerequisite (without this you will not be able to use this method)
Your kernel MUST support cifs (modules called cifs.ko).If you are on stock Rom/kernel... No way, if you are on a custom one it depend on the dev that have developed the kernel, try to find it out ( XDA is a good way )
Share your music folder(restrict acces to only one user avoid EVERYONE)
On your router redirect Samba(also known as cifs, smb or windows share) tcip port to your server intranet Ip (local ip of your server usually 192.168.xxx.xxx)
Install from the market an app to mount cifs share on your android phone (I use CIFS Manager, remember to configure it, it does not work out of the box)
Add your music share to CIFS Manager (you must know your Public Ip and, if it is not static, every time you have to know the new Ip your ISP assigned to you)
Using any File browser go to /mnt/cifs/ and you'll find the share you have just created
Browse it and you should be able to access to your music library, as well all the file of your Pc.
Not using this method or PowerAmp not sure if you'll be able to stream music or only to download it.
To be honest I wold not expose my Pc to Internet in this way.... Windows security is not so strong... Anyway It's up to you.
Hope this will work, as I never tested it,and hope will help you.
Thank you for the detailed response there, I'll look into it!
You're wellcome
I'm using " AUDIOGALAXY " it's free !!!!!
Interface sux, but wotdayagonnado !

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or apply and setup a dyndns or no-ip account
Hi pratetorious,
I do also use Dyndns services, quite all new router have built in the client to do it, but not sure that CIFS manager support HOSTNAME rather than simple IP, never tested it.
It could work anyway, but not sure about it
We're looking to hire a dev with experience with video processing for our Android app (native Java).
We have very large video files on an offline server, where we need to connect to it and download only small parts of the video.
Since we can't change or affect the server code, we need to do it all on the client. FFMPEG can do it, but unfortunately, the only build we could find builds an external process and uses the phone's default internet connection (not the wifi connection to the offline server through the app), so it cannot find the video.
We need to be able to trim a remotely located video file located on the server while downloading only the relevant part. (The server has partial downloading active with status 206)
For example, we have a video file at example.com/videofile.mp4 which is 3 minutes long, and we only want to download the video from 2:20 to 2:45. The code needs access the video file, skip to 2:20, and download only the required video, and not the entire video file.
Any of you wizz devs up for it?
Hello
Seagate has discontinued remote viewing of this series of cloud drives....
I do have an older model of this drive that still is recognized in the cloud. I use it to store movie libraries on PLEX.
I used to be able to login in a chrome pointed to the IP Address ie 192.168.1.222 .... simple enough but remote cannot be turned on.
HOWEVER, using the X-plore app by Michal Bacik on My Pixel OS 12 Phone I can add the drive as a server and see all the files and all is well.
Using File Explorer, Windows 10 Sees this drive and lists it under the Network tab, but clicking on the drive says Windows cannot access this device ?
Under Network locations it sees it as "SCSS DLNA Server: SEAGATE3TB-02" (SEAGATE3TB-02 is what I named it)
Clicking on "SCSS DLNA Server: SEAGATE3TB-02" it opens a window ">COMPUTER >SCSS DLNA Server: SEAGATE3TB-02" and says this folder is empty.
It's not empty... lots of mp4 video files which I can access and play using my android phone.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
Chas
