what happened to mobytube?

I know mobytube worked perfect for me until youtube updated their website, about a month or a couple of weeks ago. im wondering if its only me who's experiencing these playing problems (the video opens in tcpmp, but doesn't play and later displays error: this type of motion jpeg is not supported) Im wondering if there is a solution to this, is it just my pda, or is it actually the site. Thank you!

is it just youtube or any streamin video, your isp may have bloked the ports.

It works fine for me. You may want to check to see if it's you ISP. Goodluck.

well, when I go on my computer youtube works fine, and I use the same internet connection for both my pda and computer (ad hoc). Only on my pda does it not buffer, as I described above.

m.youtube.com did you try this

RockPlayer Divx, avi, mkv, mp4 and rmvb

Has anyone got this to work on the Hero?

To get placebo streaming working do the following (my ftp transfers at around 3mb per second to my phone so YMMV)
1. Setup filezilla server on pc (or another ftp app)
1.1 Adjust windows firewall if running it.
2. Install ANDFTP from market and punch in details for your ftp server
3. Log into ftp server select the file to transfer, if encountering errors like I was change the mode from "passive" to "active"
4. Once transfer has started click HOME so the transfer continues, if you hit back it will end the transfer
5. Open the Divx Player
6. Launch the .avi you are currently transferring
7. Sit back and enjoy!!!
I am also trying to get cifs share on my sdcard working so can stream direct but having no luck, would love someone with more experience to provide some feedback.

Streaming video

Hi I just wanted to contribute an edited tutorial to those who are interested in video streaming to their phone from a home server. I didn't see a proper one listed on any of the droid development forums so as an epic user I just wanted to help.
I have pieced together a tutorial to get hi-quality Video Streaming to your Android phone over Wi-Fi or 3G. For those of you using Orb Mycast for years, like I have, have noticed that the quality is unbearable and down right atrocious until I rediscovered Tversity again.
Here are some items you will need:
1: Tversity installed on PC where media is stored
2: rockplayer app installed on Android phone from market
Its the only player for Android that picks up on most video files without having to download the file all the way.
Optional: Setup your PC for Static IP and Port Fowarding if you want to stream via 3G if away from home. Go to PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model for detailed tutorials on how to set this up.
Setting Up Tversity For Streaming
I will not go into detail about setting Tversity on your PC such as configuring the libraries and such but I will go over settings that need to be in place for this to work.
Under Settings in the Transcoder section, make sure under "When To Transcode" make sure its set to never. The reason behind this is I havent figured a way for Android to pickup on the stream without waiting for it to fully transcode.
Next under General Settings, under Home Network, make sure you plug in your PC's IP address so that way your phone has access to your video files.
For this part, you would have had to setup your PC for a static IP instead of being a random IP that is given when your PC gets turned on each time. If you got to PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model for detail tutorials on setting up a static IP.
Optional:Under General Settings in the Home Network Section, there is an option for "the media server should accept requests......" which will let you access your media over 3G on your phone. To set this up, after you check mark that you want access, go ahead and setup a username and password to let you login from outside your network.
As before, you need your PC setup as a static IP but also you have setup your home router to Port Forward requests from Port 41952 to your PC's Static IP. Go to PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model for instructions on how to setup port forwarding.
Install A Android Media Player That Will Pickup On Progressive MP4
So far the only media player that works for this so far is the "rockPlayer" that you can download for free off the market.
If anybody has found a better player that works for this solution, please let me know so I can test it out.
Last But Not Least, Lets Stream A Video To Our Phone!!
For Home Wi-Fi Streaming Only
Open your web browser in your Android Phone, input your PC's Static IP such as "192.168.1.XXX:41952/lib"(Replaced the XXX's with Your IP address that you previously setup), from here, you will be navigated to Tversity's mobile WAP GUI. Navigate from here where you setup your video files in your library to appear. After that, select your video file and if all is setup correctly, then either you will get a popup saying with default player would you like to use or it will go straight to rockPlayer and start playing the movie.
For Streaming Over 3G or Another High-Speed Wi-Fi Connection
The only difference here that we are going to do is navigate our Android Browser to your home's IP Address which can be found easily if you go to What's My IP Address? Networking Tools & More from your home PC. For example it will look like this, 98.246.64.55:41952/lib to access Tversity away from home.
WARNING: Streaming from outside your network will take a long time for your movies to buffer to RockPlayer. It has taken well over 2 minutes for the movie to play sometimes over 3G. Thats why we try to get the movie as small as possible to stream faster over 3G.
All and all, thats about it. This should get you up and running on streaming to Hi-Quality video files to your Android phone wherever you are at. I will update this tutorial with any helpful updates I get from the community on what works better or my own discoveries as time goes on.

You can also use something like http://www.dyndns.com/ to associate your home IP with something like myawesomecomp.dyndns.org
It's handy for VNC, and other things as well, and can update when your IP changes.

Ah thank you that seems like a very considerable option especially since it helps with your Private IP changing which can be a bit of a hassle at times lol.
Thanks I love to hear from others and help with giving the users more options in this particular video streaming solution.

I use the CIFS module posted on here by someone along with CIFSManager to just mount windows shares on my phone when I am at home, and I can stream 720p mkv files flawlessly using the stock media player or any media player I want. Works with any video or audio or anything else you want to mess around with.

Is the CIFS module accessible from a network away from home such as your 3g/4g network?

cd's or tapes?

Thank you
Well for cds or tapes tversity allows you to access whatever folders you set in your directoy in the program.
For audio though I highly reccomend audiogalaxy, its easy to set up and I have access to all 50gb of my music at all times.
Let's put our data plans to the maximum use right?

Thanks for the post. I hope transcoding is supported at some point by one of the players so I can stream mkv files to devices that don't support it like my Xoom.

Hmmmm! Nice....
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yeah unfortunately tversity does not support transcoding .mkv files yet, I would also like this feature as a lot of anime I have is in this format.
I do however know of a lot of users who use "GOTsent" to convert to mp4 format, I use other software though however and its not as timely as it would seem.
A good solution until such transcoding is supported.

With tversity you can go into settings to allow access from internet not just the lan. Which I don't think requires the need to find ip address and enter it into the browser. You set up a password and or the devices mac address. I have used tversity for years it is high quality and very easy to use.

How to set up PLEX?

Anyone plz guide step by step installation of PLEX and make it working.

You need to download Plex media sever software for the computer you want to stream from.
http://www.plexapp.com/
Follow this guide to setup videos on the media server:
http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/PlexNine_PMS_MediaManager
Install the Android Plex app, and if you are on the same WIFI network, your PC will show up in the Android Plex app.
There are lots of good info on the Plex website, here are some example. There seems to be lots of reading, but its very simple to setup.
http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Plex_Nine_PMS
The only problem is if your TV shows are not in Season number, episode number format, they might not be added correctly to the media server. More info can be found here.
http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/P...Naming_your_media_files_for_Plex_Media_Server
Over all, I found Plex is the best solution to watch videos.
P.S. The Plex Android Honeycomb app has some bugs need to be worked out compared to 2.2+ version. E.g. the resume playback doesn’t work and the app froze sometimes.
Let us know if you run into any problems.

hello. I am having a problem with plex.
I can see the library on the server (localhost:32400)
The android client finds the server but doesnt detect any movie.
I just have the choice to download plugins.
the server is win vista 32, the client is xoom 3.1 root. They are both on the same LAN.
Thanks for your help.

Happened once with me. Just remove Plex from your Xoom and re-install. Fixed it for me. Hopefully it will do the same for you,
Cheers.

Does anyone know it is possible to get plex connected with my Synology NAS? All my media in on the NAS.

It didn't work for me.

You would need to map the nas as a network drive and then you could browse the folders in plex to add them to the library. I have all of my media on a nas and use plex to get it to my mobile devices and then have it shared for the desktop/laptops.

Can you see movies in the Plex Media Manager (ie, the web browser page through which you configure the Plex server)?

not being funny but have you added your movie/tv files/folders on the pc?
also i had connection problems with plex at first had to go into settings on the plex app on the xoom and press up arrow on your *taskbar* /settings/advancedsettings/ press up arrow agqain to bring up more options and press flush cache
hope this helps anyone that went through the same ordeal as me.

Thanks. Just tried it. didn't change anything.
By the way, is there an older version of plex server for Windows (like plex 8) that I could try ?
The probleme propably comes from the server, because:
I have no problem to see the server from the xoom.
I have the same problem when i install plex client on my phone.

While I can see my movies on the server when connecting to: http://localhost:32400/manage/index.html#/sections/1
I do only have this when connecting to: http://localhost:32400/server
<MediaContainer size="1" content="plugins">
<Directory key="servers" title="servers"/>
</MediaContainer>
As I understood, there should be something about my library here ...

[Q] IPTV from network provider on Android

I asked in a few forums now and got no answer for this:
I wonder if it is possible to get IPTV which i have in bundle of my network provider, to my Android phone.
The story so far:
I got a Fritzbox 3370 and changed the Box the way that it is possible to watch my IPTV without that stupid TV-Box that you can get from your provider. For this i use VLC-Player on my Pc and got a .m3u Playlist to switch to all available channels. Inside that m3u there are all rtp adresses for all different channels: ie. rtp://@233.51.128.25:1234.
Now i searched for an app that can handle those Adresses or even better handle that m3u. But i found nothing! I tried many different apps (ie. VPlayer, VLC Player (alpha), MXPlayer, MoboPlayer,VLC S&C....) but non of them worked. All of them got an error when i tried to open a link or m3u. Another Problem with that m3u is that they are deleted instantly on any Android phone which is a known issue (But WHY??) So i tried to open them on my Fritzbox NAS.Didnt work.
What i don't understand is, where the problem is hiding? If i can stream the channels on my PC why i can't on my Galaxy S2? Is that a hardware problem or a network protocol issue or has just noone ever thought about it?
I just want to get free (because i already pay for it when using it on PC) and fast and reliable IPTV on my Smartphone over Wlan and not that crappy IPTV that can be viewed over internet.
So my question now:
Is it possible to get that working? I know that there are many capable people in this good forum who have the knowledge to perhaps program a new app for this or just know in which way it can be done (I can't program otherwise i would have done that instantly because i think many people want to have that app).
Many thanks for your help in advance

Moving to Q&A

There is a great program IPTV. You can find it on Android Market.

Thats not what i asked for...
I know all iptv apps

I'm the author of IPTV app mentioned by Molodoj, here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.iptvremote.android.iptv
You wasn't able to find it on Google Play before because it's currently available not for all countries, just Russia, exUSSR, and few European countries. I want to add more icons for local channels before sharing it for other countries. Just tell me were you are and I'll add icons and share it for your country.
Many Android devices doesn't support multicast, so I'm suggesting to use UDP proxy in your LAN to workaround this. From what I know, Samsung Galaxy S2 does support multicast, so this should work without proxy. You can use Daroon Player to play rtp streams, or try to fix the link to udp://@233.51.128.25:1234 and open it with MX Video Player or VPlayer (but I'm not 100% sure that this will work). You will be able to watch it with many other streaming players with use of proxy.
About deleting m3u playlist from sd-card. This happens because Android scans sd-card, reads m3u playlists and fixes them by deleting the links to files which could not be found on your sd-card. Since you have URLs instead of files in your playlist, Android thinks that playlist is empty and deletes it. To avoid this just create some folder, place there empty ".nomedia" file and your m3u playlist. After that Android will exclude that folder from scanning and won't touch the playlist.

Hey many thanks you are my hero!
I downloaded your program IPTV (which was available indeed but i hadnt found it I'm in Germany btw) and used Daroon Player (which isnt available here via GooglePlay but i got it from internet). And it WORKS!
I only have one problem. If i use your proxy (which is hard to configure because of all the bad letters which arent supported by my german windows ) i get get only colored screen and no sound when starting a channel.
But if i use no proxy i get mostly good pictures and sound!. But the picture keeps hanging a little with overlapping pictures for 1sec ie. its ok but i think its because of the WLAN IPTV issue? But i wonder why udp proxy gives me no result ? Or wouldnt that bring me any advantage because my S2 can handle rtp directly anyway?

UDP-to-HTTP proxy is not developed by me, this is a third party software. Possibly it has only Russian localization, I'm not sure. From what I know, it was tested a lot, including rtp streams, and you are the first who reports the issue with sound.
I can guess that this happens because it was developed to support plain udp streams. Since rtp is extension over udp, in most cases the proxy works fine with rtp streams also. However there could be some variations of rtp which are not properly supported by the proxy.
There could be some data loss with udp multicast over Wi-Fi, so some hangs are possible, proxy should help to avoid this, but it doesn't work for you
You can also try to install udpxy on your WLAN router, it has better rtp support. But installing this might be not trivial and may require flashing your router.
Also, I'm interesting if it is possible to watch rtp streams with MX Video Player. From what I know, it won't play rtp://@... URLs, but would play udp://@... Could you please try to open this URL udp://@233.51.128.25:1234 by manually input URL in MX Video Player?

Yes i think i don't want to install upd on my router. I already changed my firmware to get this IPTV working.
But i tried MX Player and with the change to udp://@ it works!
Hope that helps you, too

Great software! I've tried it on Samsung Galaxy S. Works good with m3u playlists.

Hi,
I know I'm reopening an old thread but it's the one that seems to fit most my problem.
I'm trying to play a multicast rtp stream on my openhour chameleon (rk3288 device)device. the stream is like this rtp://239.186.64.192:10000
I have tried installing IPTV pro app, Dragoon player, MX, VLC, all other players I could try, it does not work.
I also tried to change to rtp://@ or udp://@ and enter it manually in MX or VLC, no chance.
I don't want to install the proxy on my router as it is my ISP router.
The strange thing is that this rtp://239.186.64.192:10000 works on all my other android devices, Sony android TV, Minix, Openhour Gecko
I have asked Openhour but they have no idea, should I ask Rockchip the builder of the motherboard.
I really would love to get access to my local iptv.
Hope someone can help me
P.
