After installing WM6 "the real thing" i notice that i have an application called streaming media. What does this do?
what it sounds like - streams media from your pc/the internet to your ppc via gprs or wifi
go to this page, i use it on my 8125 and the movies play very good even with a slow connection and it opens up in the streaming media player.

How do I get this to work?
Copy the url and paste it into the streaming media url bar.
go to the site on your wizard.... its a mobile site. From there if you have streaming media installed you can view various different TV feeds. From the couple links I tried most of the shows are older classics. Still cool though.
Thanks guys!! It still doesn't work (failed to find network) but at least I know how to do it!! I will try to figure out the rest... keep ya posted.
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
Anyone know of a way to listen to BBC shows. I know how to stream BBC live feeds and there are numerous websites that help with that.
What I'm trying to do is to stream BBC programs ie World drama, over to you, etc.
I can navigate to the links on my Mogul 6800 but they just won't play.
I know the link on their site but WMP on my Mogul keeps saying access is denied. However, when I copy the same URL to my PC it streams fine. I use the Sprint Mogul/HTC 6800
I am currently on the stock shipped ROM from Sprint. I am trying to listen to streaming audio from a website Railroad Radio.net and whenever I click on for example, the Vancouver/Columbia River feed (under Western Zone) and click on the Windows Media Player link it won't load the feed. I'm not quite sure what to do from here on out. Has anyone had luck with such sites or is there a mobile audio player that can stream these feeds? Any help would be appreciated.
I am having the same problem. I tried to get GSplayer and Mortplayer to play some shoutcast files and they just seem to keep rolling over on connecting. I did however get pandora to work after the whole advanced config setup detailed on another site. Anyone got a reason why the streaming audio won't work on the stock rom?
I try different stream players from the Android Market but no one works fine. I have 2 players with streams TuneIn Radio, that's a good one with lots en lots of streams all over the world. It's a pitty that you can't add streams. I have also WunderRadio where it's possible to add the stream URL.
But I'm looking for one player not with streams, only a player what plays the stream wher you click on a website with streams like tuned.mobi.com or something and where you can add stream URL's. There are lots of it on the Android Market but lots of don't work. When I click on a stream, it download the .pls file or something and put in my downloadhistory and when I click on it it opens in the standard player but can't play it. I'm looking for a player to play in all stream formats like mp3, WMA, AAC+, .pls, MMS:// etc. There was a good player on Windows Mobile, the TCPMP player. I like an alternative of that player. I hope someone can help me.
I think Tunein radio
X2 tune in is the biz

Yes, I use Tunin Radio but I'm looking for only a player what play streams in many stream formats (mp3, wma (windows media files), .pls extensions, aac+, etc. etc.) and where you can add streams to your favorites.
I like streamfurious. Pro is expensive, probably not worth it with how the dev is (Not lazy, but not communicative either, doesn't update too often).
But once installed, it should all you to load a url in the app. If it does not work, the url in the browser should. (I have a custom m3u playlist, it loads from the browser, and streamfurious takes it from that point, adding it to its list).
I might not sound very positive about it, but I really do love the app.
Try XiiaLive Light in the market.

If you're on android 2.2+ Winamp has built in shoutcast which streams many radio stations. The stations are also listed in genres which is handy. Winamp also plays music on your phone better than the stock app.
XiiaLive is the best in my opinion.
Winamp is nice, but it has a few bugs in it, and I couldn't get it to automatically resume playing after calls, or on a dropped connection/buffer.
Xiilive and Winamp I try them both but no player works fine for me. I don't want a player with lots of standard stream but only a player, nothing more, nothing less. Winamp have lots of bugs and can't stream the channels in the shoutcast directory and also not Window Media Player. Also the option with clickable links in the browser are not working. I'm looking for a player what can play windows media streaming formats like asx, wma mms:// etc. and who have a the posibility for clickable streams on websites in the browser.
Motorala music player ist good for streaiming radio
I'm having pretty good luck with bsplayer, for both audio and video streams. bsplayer even seems to be able to seek direct mp3 streams, which most other players seem to either not be able to do, or do not do correctly. requires byte-range server support, of course.

Di radio is great if you like house music.

I second this. The recommendation of xiialive was so "understated", though, that I almost didn't take it seriously... after trying every other app that anyone suggested, and having them ALL fail completely. Well, JustPlaylists was able to play some pls files (never m3u, though). These posts (this complaint) are so old, though, that I lost hope that any app could manage this BASIC functionality. Even the n7player (full trial version) was a complete fail. Xiialive works fantastically well, though. Plays all pls and m3u files, whether local or on a webpage. Plus, the rest of the app is very well done, as well. I love the alarm feature , which allows you to schedule a "program change". You can make this recur on any selected day(s), as well. I set it so that it automatically starts playing Mind Over Matters at 9am (EST) on Sat and Sun, then switches to KPFA at noon. The list of "built-in" stations is extensive (there are 2 different "repositories", which I don't fully understand, but the advanced one contained all the stations I wanted (WORT, KEXP, Free Radio Santa Cruz, etc.). Reorganization of stations from the original categorization offered was also simple and intuitive... as is the whole app. I have no connection with this app except as a happy user who was SO glad to find someone, apparently, who can code... not just use the limited android media functions.
