what is the most effective way to stream video on your PPC
i ve got a tytn II.
my question:
1. How do I use the 'streaming media' program that asks for rtsp:\\?
2. I also want to stream video directly from my PC from my tytn. i had to set my PC as a VPN server for my tytn to view the shared media file but it wouldnt play anything. I could only view the files.

I have the HTC network plugin installed which allows me to view all my shared files and folders from my desktop on my device. I use TCPMP to access my desktop shared files and folders to view my appropriately converted videos and listen to my desktop's music collection. (All this at home over WIFI connection.
When away from home but still using WIFI (any open unlocked WIFI hotspot) I use Winamp remote which I can leave running on my desktop at home. Logon to winamp remote from winamp remote website using my internet browser on my device and access my shared folders (had to direct to these specific folders using Winamp remote from desktop first) and view videos or listen music on my device which are on my desktop computer at home.
thanks for the reply. i tried the HTC network plugin. it looks like a promising little tool but it fails to detect my PC i am afraid.
i am also curious as to why I can ONLY view the shared files on my PC while doing a search through the 'file explorer' over a VPN connection seeing that my Tytn II and my PC are on the same network? this seems unneccesary and I think is the reason why the network plugin wont detect any PC on the network.
not sure what I am doing wrong.
p.s. the TCPMP woulnt install on my tytn II either.
I installed the tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab . it gives me an error msg "unexpected program failure.please send crash.txt to developers"
i am using WM6.1

I'm surprised it won't install. Download it from another site and try again.
strange strange - i tried the network plugin with a XDA Ignito aka HTC touch diamond and it worked like a charm. was able to detect all devices on my network and was able to run all media file using coreplayer. PERFECT
gotto thank hotrod101 for pointing me in the right direction.
so i guess i need to sort out my tytn II out - i cant say i m very happy with the device. i ve had problem with it ever since i ve updated it with WM6.1 and prior to it.
still looking forwarding to hearing from someone about the rtsp:\\ streaming media thingy bobby.

Youtube got mobile (http://m.youtube.com) and now streams 3gp files via rtsp. Unfortunately WM10 cannot play these streams, but there exists a HTC Streaming Mediaplayer which plays it just fine. The app is posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1315644&postcount=553
I copied it to my Vox and it works, except my browser still opens WM10 when I click on a video.
Does anyone know how to associate HTC streaming media player with urls of type rtsp:// ??
EDIT: See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1322849&postcount=20 for getting this to work on S710
EDIT2: Try installing this cab here first, before trying the manual install procedure
HTC Streaming Media Player Older Version Works Best
The HTC streaming media player,the older version v2.10 build 1025.621 works best. This version is found in "Core 2.0" and Faria's "Real Thing". That's the application we all need! Now I do have it on my MDA running the Core 2.0, it connects to http://m.youtube.com very fast, works great, but I want to put the app on another device. That Touch streaming media player,looks good on the T-Mobile Dash, it tries to connect to rtsp://ect.....!, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM YOU ARE HAVING, WHEN YOU TRY TO CONNECT TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS WMP10 COMES UP, WILL NOT PLAY THE CLIP!
The link I posted above V2.10 Build 518.700
Don't know if yours is newer.
I just tried it with this link: rtsp://rtsp.youtube.com/youtube/videos/JBWbJLYfrgs/video.3gp
and it just quits the player.
Where do I find "Core 2.0" and Faria's "Real Thing"?
Wizard Wm6 Threads
Look in the wizard wm6 section or do a search, it should be easy to find! The 1.7 reload has that streaming media player also!
Thx! Have u tried the rtsp link above? does it work for you?
I think I found the reg keys for handling rtsp.
Should be something like this:
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP]
(Default)=URL:Windows Media Streaming Protocol
URL Protocol=
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP\DefaultIcon]
(Default)=\Program Files\PacketVideo\PVPlayer\PVPlayer.exe, 0
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP\Shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RTSP\Shell\Open\Command]
(Default)=""\Program Files\PacketVideo\PVPlayer\PVPlayer.exe" %1
I found that here: http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2422
The funny thing is that there seems also to be a PVPlayer (PacketVideo) which can do rtsp ??
Missing Complete Link Data
All the rtsp url info is not there, but I can connect to mobile youtube easy and fast and watch all the videos! I'm watching the Paris Hilton jail video via wifi!
The Pvplayer Will Work Also
A major breakthrough, but where do I find the download. I do not speak Chinese. The registry stuff find is awesome guy! Will the pvplayer just work on Nokia phones, but the above registry data is for a windows devices!
I just improved the link where I found it:
http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2422
I think you must register to be able to dl it
The Hack Makes The Pvplayer The Primary Player
I've use the above hack before to make the TCPMP/player the primary player over wmp10 to watch Orb on the TCPMP/player, it works!
I'm glad I could help you, but so far I haven't got anything to work
Perhaps you can reply on the PM I just sent to you. Also you say you are running TCPMP. Which version? And can it do RTSP?
I'm using Coreplayer which works great, but can't do RTSP yet
The Hong Kong PPC site which has the registry tweak talks about the Pvplayer platform4. Seems hard to find too. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286803
Í found it and attached it to this post.
Maybe it's the same as this Philips Platform4 player for PPC (doesn't install on SP, prolly need manual install or cloning from PPC emu):
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=513
Would be nice if someone manages to install and test these apps on S710
Below are the registry settings for HTC Streaming Media Player.
Ýou find it in the distro which I linked at the top, it's in a68b298c-c2c5-409c-a145-3113bcf2baa1.rgu
I'm a bit worried that there are keys missing, in particular MIME settings for .3gp files
PS: Who knows a good registry tool which can import files?

Do we still need to do the wmp10 registry hack?
That hack from hkppc was actually intended for Pvplayer.
In fact you see similar keys in a68b298c-c2c5-409c-a145-3113bcf2baa1.rgu
For example
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROTOCOLS\Handler\rtsp]

But I haven't been able to test it, because I'm looking for a registry editor which can import files. Do you know one?
Total Commander
Do a Google search for total commander for ppc. I believe that's what you need!
I've got TC, never knew I can import reg files Thx for that!
EDIT: Import doesn't work when I copy a .reg file to \\\registry it says "function not supported"
I'm using TC/CE V.2.5PB
Btw: did you already try Pvplayer and Philips Platform4 player ?
PvPlayer Opens At Youtube Mobile
The Player open when I click on video, but no video will play, but I believe we can get this to work. It's just a matter of time, because it picks up the rtsp url. I will have to take a brake, maybe one for hr. I will be back later! We will get this player to work! I have this player install on a Dell Axim X51v, connection, wifi. The Playr is beautiful!
Pvplayer Trying To Connect
Something is blocking this player from connecting to the Youtubue videos!
I'll try them in the M$ PPC emu t'morrow.
Enough for 2day
PvPlayer Smartphone Version
Do you have the pvplayer smartphone version? The ppc pvplayer version is suppose to work with YouTube mobile, but for some unknown reason it will not connect!
I managed to install the HTC Streaming Media for Smartphone Version 2.10 (Build 518.700) Copyright 2005-2007 on my S710
When I start IE and go to m.youtube.com and start a video, the HTC player is correctly started and plays the videos
I must say I'm not so impressed by the quality but alas it works fine
Okay, here are the steps to install the player on your S710
1. Download the HTC player from here. Unpack it and copy all files to \Windows
2. Install Resco Explorer 5.32 (it's the registry editor you need)
3. Download the registry key which I attach to this message and import it with Resco reg editor
Have fun!
EDIT:
1. also works fine from Opera Mobile 8.65b
2. you can operate the player buttons with Fakecursor (altho via menus it also works perfect)
3. you may want to reduce the pre-buffer time (default 7 sec)
I have Vista working well over my home network serving up media to various devices including a ps3. My Touch Pro refused to see the contents of shared folders. This is what I have done so far.
1. Started "Network Plugin for File Explorer" ver 1.0 build 29714
2. Enabled Network folder
3. Successfully mapped folders on Network neighborhood after using the browse feature in the "map network connections" tab within the Network Plugin app.
4. The folders show up in File Explorer, Total Commander and Resco Explorer. Oh and Core player.
5. BUT no content listed....
Is anyone successfully playing steamed media content on their home network via WIFI? If so please outline how for us noobs.
give ORB a try
www.orb.com
once u try it u will love it
i use it to stream to my ps3 as well as windows media player
----
coolest thing is if u have a webcam on ur pc, orb will stream a live audio and video feed to ur cell!!

I second that, as soon as I read what you were trying to do I was thinking to myslef why doesn't he just use Orb,
PS download the free Kinoma player too, aswell as giving you access to a million internet radio stations, and you tube it also has an orb client, allowing for really easy acess to your media, both at home and on the Go (provided you have unlimited internet)
PPS @ mkalbouneh, Sack using a webcam I plugged a USB Video capture device in instead and now stream my cable box to my phone whilst im on the GO, it shows up as a webcam, but I have access to my full package of TV chans
thanks for the tips. I tried Orb with Kinoma. The good news is it works although i do find it a little slow even over my wireless lan.
Make sure you set the power mode of your wireless lan settings to "Best performance" instead of "Best Battery". It makes a huge difference
dont forget to chekout out the internet radio stations in the shoutcast section of kinoma, just search for a genre of music, and hundreds of stations pop up, it is excellent !

Basically you need to use a player that can accept freeform network addresses, such as \\Your_Computer\Share_folder ... set your shares on your desktop, then type in the path and it should bring up your shares. I use TCPMP, but unfortunately find the Touch Pro's wifi throughput a bit limited. I'm not exactly sure why, it should torch my old 802.11b device (Dell Axim X50v), but it cannot stream media as smoothly from the exact same source on my network. Has to buffer every so often whereas my old device can play the same clips in full without pauses. I did a mobile bandwidth test (http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed) and my TP does indeed get 2x the speed of the Axim, yet the playback on the TP is slower. Anyone else notice similar?
Oh and before anyone asks, I use this rather than Orb when within range of my wifi network because it allows play of higher quality files and it is much more efficient to browse media libraries when networked directly rather than bouncing through a Web browser.
Although the Kinoma player does alleviate a lot of that browsing lag by directly connecting. If it were a more robust player, I would consider switching over to it for media streaming even within range of my home wireless.

lol i do the same with the dazzel 80
I have used Orb before and have forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder, I hate forgetting some of these awesome tools.
I used to use GSPlayer for streaming medias, the icon was a Tree when it was on my wm5 dekstop.
That used to be able to even handle authentication needed streaming sites, if I recall properly.
I do notice the Fuze as being pretty dreadful on Wifi. I won't go into conspiracy theories...force usage of the 3g...I said I won't...
Hello all,
I've been trying to (rather unsuccessfully) remote access my home pc's music files via LobsterTunes on my HD2.
I'm using TVersity to sync from my home pc to the phone and while LobsterTunes does find the media server and lists my media, when I actually try and play a track it just continually buffers?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I havent tried winamp on my hd2 yet, but i used to use it on my tytn2. it has a media server service. Allowing access to my pc.
i forgot about it till you mentioned it. hmmmm. may go investigate that again.

That sounds interesting, I've found WinamPAQ 1.0 after a bit of Googling, is this the version with a media server service?
Thanks
I just checked. Go to winamp.com and download free winamp to your pc. register for the winamp remote service (also free) and simply log in on ur phone browser. there is a mobile site, i dont have the address to hand.
I never use winamp, but my ps3 on my home network works better using this media service to stream films and music.

I've also just been looking at Orb, seems to be a fairly simple way to share media between your home pc and hd2, yet to try it though but will post findings if anyone is interested?
ok so i have used remote desktops apps and everything but im looking for an app that just shows different drives on your home pc and able to open them up and play on your pc...
so it would kinda look like astro file manager but you can look though you pc
the closes that i have got was Gmote but they open it in there own player..
i wanna open and play it thought vlc
would be better to use wifi but bluetooth is ok 2
anyone come across a app like this???
I think there is an app that would fit your request... it`s calles "vlc remote" and turns your phone into a remote for the vlc on your pc via wifi, you can download it from the market
I hope that is, what you are searching for... i´m not sure if I understood your request in the right wy, my english is not very goot
You can use droid explorer: http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/39922 or
Android commander: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597098

gmote may work for you, in the market
and you install the server portion on your pc, you connect via lan/wifi to your home pc. you can browse through your drives/folders like you would in astro and when you click on a movie file it will play it on your pc monitor, the video player is built into gmoteserver (pc side)
you can also install vnc server on your pc and then install vnc on android (market vnc)
and control it just like you would a normal vnc session.
i myself am looking for a file browser for android that will let me browse network shares and let me copy files to my sdcard

as i said in my first post gmote dose this but when you open a .avi file it opens it in its own weird player and dont run the codec from vlc so the video isnt as clear (is there a fix for that)... but yer i want something just like that... but opens the files in vlc...
im using a remote desktop atm (VNC) without much enjoyment.. its ok i guess just would like a simple app to all drives and pick a file to play full screen on my computer to the look of astro

sorry i must not have read your OP sorry about that.
there is another app gremote much more polished version but its a paid app (market app free but pc software is costs)
besides a vnc type app, i dont know of any app for the pc that will let you remotely launch files too. so if its not there for the pc, its probably not there for the android.
im going to search google for remotely executing files that may lead us to an app that may be made for the android
only other thing i can think of is continue using vnc, switch to media player home cinema as it pauses/play on mouse click. setup a play list on the pc, then use your phone to vnc in to play/pause/volume up/down.
next to that cordless mouse and keyboard =)
So you are looking for a Media Remote Control application.

No no no. What you want is estrongs file explorer. Browse network shares via
Samba (PC networking) or ftp. Over wifi for lan shares or 3G with ftp.
You can ditch Astro after that find.
If you need to do it the other way around; browse the phone's file system with a pc or other device, use swiftp which is an ftp server.

astro just came out with SMB support, you can browse network files through that now too
Is there a way to connect to a home network (ie windows 7 network) and access its shared files?
It'd be great to stream music/movies.
Any such program?
can i get it too?

try bluttooth applications like gmote..
try this also.. i am uploading a file (but its more a hacking tool i think, u can access other bluetooth device's files and copy them into ur device!!)
I used a program called Plex
http://elan.plexapp.com/2011/02/16/plex-for-android/
It worked (got movies to stream onto tablet/ phone), but it buffers frequently even on my wifi N network.
