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.
Hey Guys
I wana be able to listen to the BBC websites audio feeds on my WM6 device but, having tried WM Player and Real Player, i'm not having much luck. Can anyone else think of a player/method of doing it?
(i want to be able to stream the cricket commentary)
I've used both WM and real player to listen to bbc radio. It was just a matter of downloading the *.asx or *.ram from the website, and running them on the pda.
tried that, didn't work for me :-(
For cricket commentary you could always stream a radio station (BBC Five Live etc). I use this site:
http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/pda/
Navigate to it on your device, choose your format and select your station. Does the job nicely and you can save the .asx file to avoid having to visit the site each time.
thanks mate, i'll give that a go tonight at the cricket
Hello. Can anyone recommend a video player that will play mms:// video streams other than yxplayer? yxplayer just locks up on my stream. I am trying to hit a surveillance stream that I have going at my house. The only way I can currently pick up audio is off of my mms:// stream. I'm on wifi when I'm trying to view it, but yxplayer will not play it for anything.
Hi,
I am using xperia x10. But not able to play all video formats on it. Pls help me by providing which player to be downloaded??????
I use Vplayer Alpha for most videos that the default player won't play.
No one has any other option for mms:// video streams other than yxplayer?

Real Player for Android supposedly can do it, I am getting the info from a CSR now.

I see no option in real player to load a stream. Also myplayer...I can't find it in the android market place. It just says not found.

Well, after following this link (couldn't find it in the android market), searching and downloading myplayer's apk from another location, and side loading it.... it is not what I am looking for. It only streams from some BBC feeds and other live TV stations.
What I need is a program that will let me play live streamed mms:// asf video streams and actually let me select the url for the stream. yxplayer lets me start it, but then it just totally locks up If yxplayer actually worked I would buy that, but I am not having any luck getting it to work with my stream. It's a valid address and the stream works on Windows PCs. I've seen other requests out there too for something that does this, but I haven't found anything that actually works.
hi,
can you find any solution for your problem
I search everywhere I can, but not able to find a real solution
yx player is not stable i guess
Nope. I still have not found anything out there that works to stream mms:// streams. It is amazing to me that there is nothing out there that does this. I was hoping Vplayer beta would do it as they just put out an update with the ability to open a URL, but nope. I am still waiting and looking. If anybody figures out a way to do this let me know. None of the above suggestions work.
Hallo I have an IP camera that does not stream mjpeg but streams only .asf video. the camera is a Linksys WVC54GC.
I've tried about 10 players but the only one that let me stream the video from everywhere (means both from lan and from internet: i.e. 192.168.1.115/img/video.asf and my-ddns:115/img/video.asf[/url])
is VPlayer.
hope it helps...i've fighted a lot before find it...
the only one 'compromise' that I had to do is to make a free access to the camera (no username / no password) because the player is unable to manage usr/pwd access...I hope they will add this feature in next updates...
Hi,
Have you found something what can able play mms streaming ?
Hi, as I wrote before, the only one i've found Is Vplayer...
Have you tried it?
They give one day of free full use, then you have to buy it.

I have a 4 TB NAS appliances on our home network loaded with all our family's media. This works great for our other networked devices (blu-ray players, wii, 360, etc) and using the builf in file manager on the G I can map to the NAS. Problem comes whenever it hits some xvid/divx/mpg video files, it just won't play.
Any recommendation of an app that can do media from a network server?
There is a dlna app that comes with the droid x that I don't believe is tied into the framework. I will see if I can link the files for it.

Getting a decent uPnP client is on my list of ToDo's - I'm hoping that we can port the Archos video player over, just for that purpose.
Found a link to the APK, but I haven't tried it yet...
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-discussions/2818-droid-x-dlna-app.html
<edit> Parse Error: There is a problem parsing this package. when trying to install it via Root Explorer.
<edit2>Copied the link wrong which caused the parse error, APK installs correctly and the app runs fine as a DLNA server. ( I didn't verify connectivity), but it force-closes if you select "Network Settings Set up Wireless Access Points" possibly due to the TnT version of Settings?
either way, it makes your gTablet a server, not a client so you won't be browsing your NAS with this APK...
ah well, looks like we might be waiting for kernel source or a custom compiled kernel to get streaming video.

I found an app called UPnPlay in the market that is working really well for me. If you are familiar with the Archos media player this has very similar capability. If you haven't done the market fix you probably won't find it though.
I was just watching a movie streaming from my Windows home server on my G tablet. Played nice.. Took it a few minutes to initially find my server but it did.

Nice tip used it and rockplayer worked perfect
This is a nice app - tried it and it found my media player (PS3MediaServer) fairly quickly. It did crash once, but it's certainly better than nothing.
It plays audio and photos well, but video seems a bit choppy on my setup so far. I have all different types of containers / codecs so I might have to find the sweet spot - Xvid / MP3 / AVI's seem to play best.
Thanks for the find!
No mkv support, but otherwise looks good
Heck, this thing even found our DirecTV HD DVR as well as the uPnP NAS!

I think it's limited by the video player - and MKV support on the GTab is very limited, unfortunately.
Fantastic Find! Thanks Sprdtyf350-
Nice!
This finds my MythTV server. I am able to play .wmv videos on the MythTV server, with the default player. But it is unable to play the MythTV recordings of OTA digital (HDTV). These are a form of mpeg-2 video, similar to what a standard DVD is. If we can find a player that can play DVD files, then I think it will play MythTV recordings too.
ORB LIVE is the answer.
Orb is the Answer to this... if we can make it work.... I use Orblive on my EVO and it works amazingly. I can stream from anywhere and it decodes most files. It runs over Wifi, 3g and if I am on the same network as my server, it goes direct without hitting the Internet. I works GREAT.
But unfortunately, it doesnt work right on my GTAB. This could be specific to my device, but it cannot stream the files. This sucks because this is one of my main uses for buying this device. With Flash fixed, I can stream through the internet via the orb.com webpage. But the App works much better. If anyone that understands the codecs of these things can figure out how to make the orblive app work, it would be amazing.
To the G tablet users using UPnPlay, how do divx files do for seeking/searching? I'm using UPnPlay on my Evo with both Rockplayer and Vplayer and neither searches or seeks particulary well..... or at all. If the video file plays with Androids native video player, it seeks just fine.
I don't want to be forced to always begin playback and the start of the video and not be able to resume where I left off if I have to leave the player/app.
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.
