Is there anyway to output video playback from the ppc?
The spectec SDIO card is only for pics and presentations, I'm looking for something that can output real video.
I know that you can do it now with slingbox, but I want something portable that i will be able to connect to any TV (like a SDIO card).
Is there any product that can do that?
regardless, I read somewhere that you can stream video from the ppc to your TV using an HTPC (Home Theater PC) and some program called ORBIS. Do you have any idea what are they talking about? I can't find the link for the discussion...
Thanks for any help
There was some news story recently where the reporter was "shooting" video live on his phone and it was being broadcast on TV. This obviously means it's possible, but turning your PPC into a server is a different story.
There is the ActiveSync Remote Display, part of the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys, but I never tested it to stream video. If it works on the some technology as Remote Desktop, you won't be able to stream video. But try it out.
Good luck,
Matt
oh, i m not alone. i m looking the same thing as well. i m looking (still looking...) something (not SDIO) that can output the pda screen display (and also sound) to tv or monitor. i m using o2 atom, so the only "connection" is either via a special usb cable or a bluetooth device.

Please make sure you follow my articles. CoolCamera is what you're looking for - it's the best solution for this.
I don't recommend PC -> PPC controllers because of speed issues - not even the, in this respect, fastest (read my remote controller roundup, it has been referenced several times in my articles cross-posted to here) Soti Pocket Controller.
I don't know if this has been discussed anywhere else but...
Does anyone know how I can get the video from my Tilt to show on my Pioneer AVIC-D3 display? I have my Slingbox setup and working on my Tilt and I can get the audio to play through the Bluetooth to the receiver, but I don't see a way to get the video to transfer over. Maybe a wired connection to the Aux Video Input jack?
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks to all...

It's http://orb.com. It turns your home pc into a streaming media server. Hands down better that slingbox.
With ORB you can connect your TV via a TV Tuner Card, or Have Live Secure Webcams with motion capture.
Also If you would like to stream and capture cam video from you mobile device to web you might want to check out comvu.com
You Must Never Ever Owned A SLINGBOX!

You must not own a SlingBox, Orb will never ever be better than the SlingBox. Orb buffers all the time, with the SlingBox you get perfect video all the time, don't you know. The newly just released SlingPlayer mobile software is the 8th wonder of the world, Orb don't even come close dude.(LOL)
Hi,
Is there a piece of software that lets me use my phone as an LCD screen/monitor for my computer? Ideally, i'd like to stream movies from my pc to the screen of my HTC phone (trinity atm), bt would like to use the speakers of my main computer.
Thanks,
James
The closest things I can think of would be using a remote desktop/VPN app to get to your PC. Video over VPN is a problem though - it typically doesn't work very well for a number of reasons. Your other choice would be to use a media streaming app on your PC and stream to TCPMP or Windows Media Player on your phone.
Neither of these solutions is anything like "using my phone as an LCD monitor" though.
yeah i dont think therminal services support the overlays that video use
nor DX as in directmedia stuff
another problem with streaming it while playing it on pc to use it's speakers would be to make sure the audio and video was in sync
of cause to get around that one could use a htc audio to 3.5minijack and feed the sound from the pda back into the pc's line in and have it play like that
of cause that raise the problem with the cable having to be pretty long otherwise i guess one could just watch it on the pc
I think that this server was not supported.
I agree with you Stream the videos from your PC... And if you have bluetooth on your PC, you can use the A2DP-service(BT stereo) to stream the sound back... But this will most likely fail because the use of A2DP is a real CPU-killer on our trinity... (Which will cause the video to no be shown, or be very lagging...)
you can try http://www.innobec.com/en/index.php
but this only works at WinXP or lower.
and it seems the program is not longer updated.

Excellent!!!!! This is *exactly* what I was looking for!
Many thanks =)
Now that is cool!
I wonder if it works with WM6.
Would be great for putting a voice comms app (ventrilo / teamspeak) on the PDA screen when I am gaming on my PC - that way I can see who is speaking.
I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509981 on how to use your phone as a webcam without any paid apps. It says to use mymobiler and an app called Vh Screen to capture the mymobiler camera stream (it will recognize the feed as a webcam). The problem is it suggest using mymobiler but with the Fuze/Touch Pro if you turn on the camera it doesn't stream through mymobiler (you just get a black screen but the menus show up).
So I did the following and it works as a video camera but I can't get sound yet.
1) Connected Fuze to PC using the tv-out cables. I use the freeware DScaler on my PC to get the input from the tv-out cables onto my PC: http://www.dscaler.org/dscaler4.htm
2) Used VH screen capture driver to capture the dscaler feed http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
3) Use MSN Messenger and it works as a 'video' camera but no sound was being transmitted.
Any ideas? I think the problem is that DScaler is not transmitting audio.
Thanks
I don't know about the way you are doing it, but Qik does streaming video and audio from your mobile phone for free.
www.qik.com
thanks - I know about Qik...it's very hard on batteries and you can't use it for other messenger apps. I was hoping to get a universal 'webcam' so you can use it for regular chats and skype, etc.
haha i'm not sure where i picked this up from, might have just been fuze mobility
BUT vzochat.com does free video messaging! they have a pc client and a winmo client. i installed it and used it with two friends - one has an HD the other has a tilt. the tilt camera had issues but the hd worked great, minus some feedback (prob volume too high) and htey have a pc client too.
that sort of kinda not really acts as a webcam but it's still cool!
lmao yeah vzo chat might have been from fuzemobility and i think the poster of that article is the original poster of this thread. Again vzo chat only works in vzo chat. I think the OP is looking for a webcam that work with other software like yahoo and msn and skype.

Yeah I did post on Qik and VZO in the past Both are good for what they are. I'm hoping to take it one step further so it can work in more apps though. I'm going to tinker with some more wires tonight while pressing 'record' in the video to see if that gets audio throughput.
OK- to get audio just plugin in a 3.5mm headset. Here is the entire thing step by step: http://www.fuzemobility.com/using-your-fuze-as-a-webcam/
Sorry if there is already a thread for this.
I'm looking for an app which play the sound of my mobile on my computer (and them my Hifi)
Then I can listen to toutube or spotify easily on my Hifi, simply using my Android phone.
Thanks a lot
Android to Audio Stream
Is there a solution yet since I am also looking out for something like this.
I don't know guys if you are interested into, but there is an application that allows you to stream video and audio and see your picture via Wireless on your computer using your web browser...
Websharing file 1.6.1 apk
Nextapp is the company who create it, I use regularly everyday and is a good one!!
AFAIK, there's currently no way to do a raw audio stream from Android over the network; and I can almost guarantee you it won't be possible at all without root. Closest you could get would be getting a Bluetooth audio sink (like this or the official Nexus home dock) and hooking that to your hifi. There are apps to stream local content via DLNA, but there isn't anything to stream arbitrary audio in Android.
EDIT: Some PC Bluetooth stacks may also be able to receive A2DP audio as well, but it's not a universal feature.
Check out mecanto, it's an app that syncs your music to the cloud and then you can stream it from the cloud and play on your phone.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'm amazed that there's no interest in this. I'm sure I haven't searched enough and so probably should pick on a more current thread. But it seems a no-brainer to me to want to go this direction. Everyone discusses streaming from PC to phone. Why would I do that instead of just listening to the PC? Now if I could stream from phone to PC... I have many phone apps that let me listen to unlimited tunes and radios from all over the world, which of course I use outside the house. But using it in this way in the house, my phone would not only be the source, but the "remote" -- the controller. Walk around the house w/ just the phone. Beats my carrying my Squeezebox "portable" radio, as I do. Or maybe I need to pay $150 for the Squeezebox solution, their remote controller... Just don' get it.
yes. i also think this is a great idea. there a heaps of pc to android threads.
usage scenario i am thinking.
walking around with device. the device contains song files and player. if that player had a button like stream to ie desktop, home theatre speakers, etc etc. that would be great. sorta like wmp 12 stream to button if anyone is familiar with that. bluetooth has the restriction of range so ideally wifi would be the better solution. curious to know if anyone has come across any updates to this.
I use 2 apps because im undecided which is best firt one is called 2play dnla
and the other is upnp. search in the market for both :-D
THAKS DREA!!!! wow I have been wish exactly the 2play app do... I like to play music on my Android tha I can listen from my large PC speakers!!! COOL!!
Streaming from Android To SERVER STREAMING
Is there any application also in beta test to let the android phone act as Media encoder to stream to a Server what's coming on your phone?
On Iphone platform there an interesting app LIVU (stevemcfarlin.com/livu/features.html).
Would be nice to have one similar on Android phone
Fabio
Theres an app called Twonky which acts as media server on your Android. It lets you stream upnp to whatever device you have capable such as Apple TV, Playstation etc. I have an AC Ryan Playon HD player which is hooked to my local network and I am able to recieve and play media through this to my HD TV from my Desire over wifi.
Any suggestions on the following then:
I would love to find a program that can both send audio and video without transcoding that can manage both IOS and Android
Im currently using PS3 media server for the PS3 and StreamToMe for sending to my iphones/ipads. They both work excellent. Was also amazed with the lack of streaming programs.
A simple solution that worked for me from a windows pc to android was was using ES File Explorer (free), choose LAN from dropdown (top left), add new server, scan - it should then pick up your shared network.
Then navigate to your chosen movie, play with moboplayer. Voila.
If it doesn't play straight away make sure moboplayer is set to soft decoder.
Sometimes you may have to press and hold your movie icon, open as video, choose moboplayer.

Sorry my bad, thought you meant streaming from pc to Android device.
You may try skifta, it was recently showcased on market home site.

I think MyPhoneExplorer can do that (not sure)
For youtube videos: the youtube app can link with your pc through Youtube leanback
There is an app called "Remote Droid Player"(play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.newandroid). Though it needs a small application needs to be installed on PC.
hmmm... I saw the program ArkMC in google play , when I have the similar problem , you can try...good luck!

Still no way to stream every sound that your android device plays to your PC? Is it not technically possible to create and android server that sends a raw stream of sound to the PC over wifi?
All the solutions linked in this thread requires you to actively choose what mp3 to listen to. I want to stream notifications/spotify/radio/everything that is played.
Hi,
I would like to be able to hear all my Windows PC sounds on my Windows Phone via Wifi. Ive been searching for quite long time now with no luck. Anyone knows better?
Cheers

Not an audio only, but video (transcoding "on the fly") and pics too
Neat! Thank you! Will give it a try as son as i can
but if isnt it too much to ask, isnt there any free alternative?
also my initial thought (belive i wasnt very clear) was to use the phone as a kind of "wireless headphone" since i could watch game stream, online web radio and so on w/o beeing in front of the pc.
Qloud doesnt seems to do that, or am i mistaken?

No. With QloudMedia you can stream existing audio/video files to your handset. To be able watch something directly from you PC screen, you may try any remote desktop apps (but they are also paid).
im trying "pc remote" and it is really great, but it doesnt have the audio feature,
do you know any?
