does anyone know if you can pass a file descriptor, like a local socket, to the mediaplayer object, and feed your 3gp file over the socket?
Im getting a setDataSource(FileDescriptor) exception when i try.

Hi,
I managed to stream contents from my tv-card with Windows Media Encoder 9; it is working perfectly opening the stream with Media Player.
However it is not working from my Trinity connect via Wifi: I'm trying to access it using this adress: http://192.168.0.5:8888/
From other computers it works very well but on my Pocket PC it says "The parameter is incorrect" and nothing else...
As I recall there's a trick to this and I've seen it before but I can't remember where. It could have been modoco, of all places. At any rate, it was something like needing a "/*" at the end of the URL, which would make yours http://192.168.0.1:8888/*
Give that a shot and see if it works.
It worked!
Can someone help please?
I have just copied the TV highlights of a particular cycle "tour" on to my hard drive and in turn on to DVD. How can I put this video footage onto my PDA to watch during lunchtime, etc?
There are 2 directories on the DVD - these are VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS. I assume that this is all needed on the PDA to watch what I have of the tour.
Do I need special software? One person tells me that all I need to do is change the *.VOB to *.MP4. This doesn't appear to work.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
S.
Having re-read what I have just typed - the title doesn't make it clear what I am trying to do.
The DVD bit was just a way of transferring from my TV set-top hard-drive to my PC.
I then want to copy from my PC to my PDA.
All I am ultimately trying to do is be able to watch what is on my hard-drive on the PDA. It just so happens the video codecs (something I dont' know a lot about) and file formats *.VOB don't appear to let me watch what I want.
Thanks.

Spb Mobile DVD is a pretty popular app that'll convert DVDs to a format you can view on your PPC. It's not free, but it's worth the cost if you get good use out of it. It's also really easy to run.
I'm also moving this to a more appropriate forum.

Hi TaurusBullba.
Thanks for the tip.
Doing this kind of conversion how much disc space would 1Gb of VOB file take up - do you know?
Is it cheaper direct or could I get it anywhere else?
How does it deal with copyright protected discs?
Thanks again.

since pda's have a res of 240_320 and 480_640
and dont support surround sound
and can use formats which take up less space then
old mpeg2 which is used in vob's on the dvd's
so the movies will be much much smaller then the dvd is
OBJECTIVE:
Webtop from Atrix 2, via standard HDMI, to standard laptop HDMI input.
PROBLEM:
Most HDMI ports on laptops are output only.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
HDMI to USB or HDMI to IP converters. not sure this even exists
Update to this post:
The original product link was in error (pointed out by "IceFragmatic"). As suggested by IceFragmatic, most USB video INPUT for laptops/netbooks, are intended as capture devices, although I am not sure what he means by "due to DCHP", regarding HDMI being a very rare capture source.
Has anyone attempted this?
The item you link to is USB to HDMI...again outout only.
You would need to use a capture device (which for HDMI is very rare due to DCHP)
Why not just buy a cheap screen with DVI and/or HDMI input?
I know that for the last few years, that there have been a small handful of expensive giant laptop PC's that provide for HDMI INPUT (yes, input), but there are as yet no netbooks or UMPC's that have a means to provide this .... would you agree with that statement?
(this is interesting from a hardware perspective, not necessarily from a business strategy perspective)
You're better off just using a VNC server program on the phone and a VNC client on the netbook while connected to a solid wifi. That will allow you to control the linux environment running on your phone from your laptop and doesn't require expensive video capture hardware. One does not simply use one's netbook as a monitor.
Sorry, should have referred to HDCP (not DCHP).
HDCP is a copy protection protocol used to stop digital copying of comercial DVDs and some TV streams.
The movie studios and owners of the HDMI licences do not want HDMI recorders without some form of protection to stop copying of DVDs. If this copy protection did not exist you could make perfect copies of DVDs and BluRay. Therefore HDCP has be introduced. This makes HDMI input/recorders useless for anything but home-made movies (and therefore not a big seller).
Your homework is to read the following....

Hi.
Someone did this already? There is for some reason the possiblity to stream music vis desktop explorer - right mouse click to (play to) "non" ms certified dlna devices. But this is not working for downloaded xbox music pass wma files because the dlna device could not understand this.
So i thought of burning a cd and than recopy it to my device. This is "allowed" by law and than i would be able to stream it to my hifi.
Thanks for any hints.
Not sure where you got the idea that burning to a CD and then re-ripping is "allowed by law". Under strict reading of the DMCA, that's actually illegal, as it would circumvernt a DRM restriction. Of course, the DMCA is a **** law which conflicts with a number of other laws and is constantly being discussed (especially around what constitutes "fair use" exceptions to copyright limitations).
My downloaded-but-not-purchased music (from Zune Pass, but it's the same as Xbox Music) says it has "sync rights but no burn rights" which means the software will refuse to remove the DRM for burning to a CD. You could burn the DRMed file itself if you wanted to, but that wouldn't help anything.
If you buy the music from the Xbox Music store, then the DRM will be removed or at the very least all restrictions on it lifted.

this.
music that is acquired via the music pass is not yours and is simply rented on a monthly basis. there are ways around this, but it is in no way legal.
if you purchase music from xbox music, then it is provided in a DRM free mp3 format that can be burned to a disc or copied wherever you want it.
so no deal transferring my files to my car, my sports audio usb stick and my living room hifi equipment.
quite a high price for a music abo only for my pc ...
you could always get a zune, or other windows device
@oOp: No morese than if you bought a subscription to Spotify or something, no.
However, you can use a Windows laptop/tablet (including the Surface), or a Windows Phone, or one of the Zunes (even the pre-HD models), to play the music in your car. You'd need an Aux In port (most but not all cars have these) and a "ripping cable" (double-ended headphone cable, basically, typically only a few dollars even at rip-off prices). If your car supports Bluetooth audio (not the same as BT headset, which is more common) and you have a Windows phone/tablet/laptop with BT, you can play the music through that as well. Alternatively, I suppose you could get a car FM transmitter... As for your living room equipment, that's what DLNA is for. Get a DLNA receiver (they aren't rare, if nothing else an Xbox 360 works as one) and connect it to your amp (I'm assuming you've got at least one available input connection).

i got one but xbox music pass drm protected files cannot be played all other files i can.
Ah sad, sorry about that then. Mine offers to stream to my Xbox, which is the only DLNA receiver I have, but of course the Xbox 360 already has the ability to decode Zune Pass DRM.
Hi guys:
I've been trying to play my full bluray files, (m2ts, mkv) on my note 3 // nexus 7 // etc.
I am currently using ES-explorer to connect to my PC, and feeding to MX-Player... It plays smooth for 3 seconds, then craps out.
I know I have enough bandwidth 110Mb/s possible on the N66u-tomato to devices.
Does anyone know of a better way to stream to MX-Player ?
I know the processing hardware is capable since I can play full bluray files off an external disk via usb otg.
Using network monitor I see that it's uploading exactly HALF the incoming bandwidth during playback, so I'm assuming ES-explorer is using some sort of virtual server transition to get to MX-Player..
Does anyone know what type of back end i need to setup to stream to MX-Player directly ?
