Streaming media over home network to Touch Pro?

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...

Dreambox Remote Control

Hi,
The Dreambox is a series of Linux-powered DVB satellite, terrestrial and cable digital television receivers (set-top box), produced by German multimedia vendor Dream Multimedia.
I'm getting tired to see all these Iphone apps capable of managing the Dreambox and nothing in our WIMo environment
I'm sure one of our contrubutor should be able to build one app such as this one for exemple : Idream Remote fot Iphone

Interesting - I wasn't aware of the existence of these kind of applications for the Dreambox.
Well, when I find some sparetime, in a week or two, I might have a look at it. I don't know how the iPhone communicates with the dreambox (I don't think it uses infrared or similar) but my guess would be that it uses the WebIf of the Dreambox to change channel, volume-control and so on.
In order to use WebIf (or telnet), please be aware that your Dreambox must be connected to your network which at the same time is accessabile by your phone.
I don't have a Dreambox (I had one but it broke) but I do have an IpBox which is also running Enigma 1 so if it works on my IpBox, it should also work on your Dreambox running Enigma 1. I don't know about Enigma 2 but I think the WebIf is the same so it should work as well.
If you're still interested, please let me know.

You're exactly right, it uses the WebInf and has nothing to do with infrared type connectivity.
I can reach the WebInf from the Internet with my HD2 but I guess there's probably an issue between Opera and the way they have coded their interface.
You're help will be much appreciated ...$$

Which dreambox (enigma) do you have?

I made a windows mobile remote for my dreambox but I suck bigtime at GUI I don't remember how far I got on the .dll that controls the box but I did manage to send most of the keys you find on the normal remote control and zap between channels by browsing your bouquets and channels in a listview on the phone.
As I've switched to the iPhone I stopped the development but If you guys need help remote controlling the box by posting http queries to webif please let me know and I'll help you!
Øystein

I own a DreamBox 8000 HD running enigma 2.
It is a truly fantastic piece of technology!

Hej!!
I am currently having a look at the source-code of Enigma http://cvs.tuxbox.org/tuxbox/tuxbox/apps/tuxbox/enigma/src/ to see if I can trace the syntax of common http-queries needed, at least for the most basic operations such as zapping and so on. What regards Enigma2, I found a nice wiki for the Enigma2-webinterface.
I am also trying to figure out if I can do common operations also by telnet.
I very much appreciate your offer for help and if I get stuck, I will definetely get back to you (screaming for help)
Tack ska du ha. Nu ska jag sova

Send me a DM 8000 and I'll send you a remote control
As far as I know my application only works for Enigma 1.....
Øystein

Well you see I personally think, watching TV on such a small screen is probably not priority one but rather being able to set recording timer, EPG ..etc all these options which are available on webinf would be much welcome.

This would be great app. I have DM7000 (Enigma1) and DM800 (Enigma2) and HTC HD2 ready to test out. My dream application would be possibility to change bouquets and channels using mobile device and also be able receive streaming video to the mobile device. This is all possible and I use a PC with VLC to reduce the size of video stream , but I need to do all of this manually today. Log on to Webif ofdreambox, change channel, then log on to the 24/7 PC that runs VLC (via remote of course) stop the stream, open new stream from dreambox. Then catch that stream with coreplayer on mobile phone. As you can see it is very difficult. But result is great, I am really satisfied with video quality.

What kind of parameters do you start vlc with to transcode the signal to a format that the Window Phone can handle? And which player do you use on the phone?
Øystein

Will respond when at home on the vlc parameters.
I watch video with CorePlayer. Here is the preview:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts4QCfFzYPA
Video is taken while watching through WiFi. DM stream is reduced to 2Mbs, works great, video quality is really good. Didn't try through 3G or similar. But just imagine once 4G kicks in ( I see you might be from Norway, I am in Norway too), you can basically watch good quality video wherever you are (if it does not cost to much to use network )

I'm from Norway. When it comes to streaming to the internet my ADSL upload bandwidth is the biggest problem. I've ordered fiber and hope to have it installed this summer
So you start VLC manually each time you need to stream? And if you switch channel you need to restart VLC with different paramters since the stream from the dreambox has changed? Am I right? Which OS is your VLC transcoder running on?
Øystein

I am running VLC on Windows Server 2003. Same can be done on XP.
Yes, I need to stop VLC manually. I do that by logging in remotely into my server and clicking stop button. If I want to switch channel, I need to log to DM Webif and change channel there, then on Server stoP VLC and open new stream from DM. Basically, due to this complexity, I rarely watch tv on mobile. In fact I set up Discovery channel (since I watch it most) and when I want to watch it on mobile, I log on to DM Webif , change channel to Discovery and then just open stream on Coreplayer on mobile.
All of these steps in theory can be on mobile device. Ideally, there would be functionality to read channel list (only when needed) from Dreambox into WM device memory. Then there are command lines that can be executed to change channel on DM. At least I have at some point did it from my Win XP PC. Then there are command lines to stop VLC and reopen new stream with all parameters. And then there should be a way to stop and restart coreplayer stream...

Same setup as me....
I already developed a remote to my WM device that can zap channels based on the bouquets. You get a list of your bouqets and you switch to whatever channel you want. This is done by connecting directly to WebIf by HTTP queries. It's not ready to be released but it works...most of the time
About watching video I'm thinking of a solution where the mobile client contacts an Asp.Net server by either webservice og regular http to start the stream. The server will close any instances of VLC that's already running, fetch the current stream from the dreambox and start VLC again with the proper transcode parameters.
Fetching the stream from the dreambox is easy and already implemented.
Stopping and starting VLC works is OK.
The only thing missing on the server is the transcoding part....
On the mobile client:
Expanding the GUI with a "Watch" button.
Store additinal settings for server ip/host and credentials....
Starting Coreplayer with the server path once a confirmation has been received from the server.
/Ø

Anything I can do to help? testing? donation? I am not a programmer, so can't add much help with improving the program...
Not sure what transcoding difficulties you have met. Doing it manually is quite straightforward. There is a command line description of commands here:
http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html
There are some projects that kind of works, but just on PC platform. Can some ideas be taken from them? I have in mind m4rtin solution, or some other.

By the way, I see that success of this project also depends on having right Enigma version, DM image, VLC version, unless somebody can make a flexible app allowing to select all these parameters.
I have DM7000 (Enigma 1) and DM800 (Enigma 2), both running Gemini image (do not remember version number now). VLC version is 0,86. Changing VLC version is absolutely not a problem, of course.

By the way, if you plan to invest your time into this project, it would be great to have profiles to select, that would contain different streaming settings. Let say when you are home, IP address to the server might be 192.168.1.1 for exemple and you can aford 2Mbs stream size (although I am not sure it makes sense to have more than 800 X 480 around 400kbs). Once you are outside home, you but have good Wifi connection, you can select another profile, where IP of server is *****.dyndns.org and stream is set to 3-400 kbs (depending on up speed of your line). When you have week signal, you might want to lower bitrate further.
So profiles would be great!

I'm running a DM7020 Gemini 4.6 (Enigma 1). When the remote is working on it I can flash it with a Enigma 2 firmware. Which of your boxes one are you streaming from?
I know VLC changed alot on their streaming GUI recently.. don't know if the command line has changed.....
Øystein

if you could help me with VLC that would be fine When you start the stream in VLC it should display the arguments when configuring the stream.....If I remember correctly (the 0.8.6 version) the command line arguments can be found at the bottom of the screen in the last step when configuring the stream inside VLC. It should look something like:
":sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=1024,acodec=mpga,ab=192}:standard{mux=ps,dst=,access=http}:sout-transcode-soverlay=0"
As you can see both codecs and bitrate can be altered directly in this stream so it should be possible to make high/medium/low streams for different networks.
I haven´t got a license on Coreplayer. Is it possible to use TCMP or do I have to buy one?

Streaming Hi-Quality Videos To Android With Tversity and nswPlayer

Hello everyone,
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: nswPlayer installed on Android phone from market
Its the only player for Android that picks up on .mp4 files without having to download the file all the way
3: Handbrake encoder from handbrake.org for converting your movies to a lower resolution and optimizing for progessive playback
Optional: Setup your PC for Static IP and Port Fowarding if you want to stream via 3G if away from home. Go to www.portforward.com for detailed tutorials on how to set this up.
Encoding Movies for Progressive Streaming Playback
Before you begin encoding your video for playback, here are some things to look at to keep the video quality hi while making the smallest video size available. You want to look at the resolution/bitrate of the movie you are encoding and if you are like me and get your movies off of uTorrent or such, you want to keep the same quality. You want to keep the bitrate match to the resolution size by converting it such so that if you have a movie file that runs at 729kbps at a resolution width of 672, when you downsize the file to a resolution width of 320 then the bitrate should be 346kbps to match.
In Handbrake, go ahead and select iPhone legacy as the profile for encoding.
Next, check off the Web Optimized button so that the file can played progressively, if not, you will get an error message saying "illegal file".
After loading your source and destination, make sure the destination file is saved as yourmoviefile.mp4 instead of yourmoviefile.m4v because you will also get a "illegal file" error.
Under Picture, change anamorphic encoding to none and make sure "Keep Aspect Ratio" is check marked. Next, changed the width down to 320 and the height will automatically change with it.
Under Video, change to Avg Bitrate to match your width resolution like I explained above and then you are ready to encode when hit the start button. Bear in mind that this might take a little while depending on your PC's Hardware specs. If you have any issues using Handbrake, visit their forums for any fixes that you need.
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 www.portforward.com 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 www.portforward.com 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 "nswPlayer" 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 nswPlayer 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 www.whatsmyip.org 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 nswPlayer. 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.

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. I'm using the Samsung Vibrant with nswPlayer and I keep getting "Illegal File" what am I doing wrong? Do I have to use handbrake to encode my files? I downloaded them as .avi and they run fine off my SD card.

Yes you have to encode each video to be the correct format as well as enabling it be stream byte by byte. If you want to stream while on the same network as the pc with your video files, you could use Allshare to stream via DLNA if you have Windows media player setup to manage your media library.
I am going to play with this setup to see if I can avoid pre-converting the video file because the Galaxy S has some codecs that other Android handsets dont have. Maybe I can figure out if it can stream avi containers.

Thanks for the tut. arcMedia Player will play the avi streaming formats.

the Android Movies app lets you watch Movies in HD you will need wifi or 4G though.
check it out for yourself:

Does anyone know why this app have been removed? I purchased this app and it did worked but lately it hasn't been working. Has anyone have this problem?

Seems like a lot of work, but it must pay off.
As far as Android Movies is concerned i was able to watch one movie in excellent quality. I knew they would probablyl get shut down at some point. Now there is just a msg in the app saying that they will be back and to be patient. Eh, it was like renting a movie for $2 knowing the caveat would be that it may be a one time deal. I was very impressed by the quality and i wasn't even on 4g.
Hey OP, any idea about orb for Android. Months ago i heard a talk about it and a lot of people were complaining about the quality. Any experience on your end?

I would tell you to purchase "Amatsu" from the Market, but the developers are thieves and crooks.
They sold "free android movies", which was vaporware. It never functioned... Only had a date on it staying when it would be working again. It then disappeared & Amatsu took it's place. Now Amatsu doesn't work!

Update
Hey guys,
Sorry that I have been absent for some time but I have movesd on to better ways of taking your collection on the go. Right now I am part of the Alpha team over at WWW.plexapp.com which is a better way of organizing your media collection with their free server software along with a small payment for their client on Android. Go check it out, you guys won't be disappointed.

nice work!

[APP REQUEST] Android DLNA WAN Player

I've got a UPNP DLNA compatible plugin going in foobar2000 right now.
http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_upnp
I just wanted to know if anyone has seen an app like this (with WAN compatibility)?
Orb seems like the closest thing, but thats a pricey $10 and it doesn't interface foobar.

Try "Twonky Server"
Im using it with my PS3 to stream.

You completely misread what my intentions are.
I need an application that is a UPNP DLNA PLAYER that lets you access the server from OUTSIDE your local network
I have no desire to:
1) stream to a tv
2) use wifi
I wish to:
1) Listen to all the music stored on my computer (stream via foobar2000 rather than some other 3rd party software)
2) not use wifi

You could use winamp remote on your computer as the server, and then just go to http://winamp.orb.com from your phone and stream the music you want.

Winamp remote is Orb...
It'd be easier if the remote end would mirror whatever i have existing in my media player (playlists, playcounts, etc), rather than have them separate and different.
I'm still looking for something to interface foobar's UPnP server over WAN

Did you try Andromote? It's been a while but that may only still be for LAN.
For streaming my music over 3g I use subsonic (www.subsonic.org) and set up two profiles on my phone. One for wifi and one for 3g. You may have to trigger port 80 in the forwarding section of your router.

I might just be expecting too much i'm not sure, but subsonic looks a bit more promising with its user interface... I'll give that a try, thanks.

Chances are low you will actually find an DLNA-over-WAN solution, as DLNA/UPnP use multicast broadcasts to interface with eachother.
Maybe you could try setting up a VPN connection from phone to your home and go from there?

x2... i hadnt thought of that. VPN tunneling into your local network would probably be the only chance of something DLNA actually working over WAN.

I'm actually trying to achieve the same thing. I connect to my home LAN via VPN on android 2.3 but all DLNA apps (and I've tried loads in the marketplace) close after stating that I'm not connected via WiFi. Is there a fundamental reason why VPN isnt a suitable connection to consider when building an app? No one seems to have thought of this... shame. Who will be the first to amend their app? Please let me know if you have something to try.

If you use a server that doesn't require user+pass the app "UPNPlay" is absolutely lovely. And it works perfectly over mobile connections and from remote places.

Does DLNA standard support access to the server of OUTSIDE network?

for outside:
i dont know - i thing you need the right port for the protokoll
see http://www.skifta.com/how-skifta-works#friends
for inside:
try :
skifta http://www.skifta.com/
or imediashare http://www.imediashare.tv/
this are the best and most flexible DLNA clients with media shifting and there are free

Another vote for Skifta

VPN
Probably ArkMC application will suite you.
One of its function is managing all devices from both inside and outside of the network environment via VPN

Hello
I found this post when searching new apps for this result.
There is one app on the Play Store who is able to connect upnp server over wan :
Upnplay
First you connect your server over WiFi, and you clone it, editing address for wan usage, and it works !
Hope it will help you !

[Q] Stream PC music through Poweramp over wifi/3g?

Hi there,
I'm looking for an application whereby I can assess music on my pc wirelessly and browse/play them within Poweramp. I have seen applications that can sync the music within their own interface, or download the tracks but I wish to stream them over wifi/3g.
I can see that ES File Explorer may allow to browse my pc via ftp, I haven't tried this as of yet, but essentially I want to be able to see my pc music folder on my phone within poweramp (my preferred music player) and stream them as opposed to sync/download.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Hi,
Currently to remotely access (in 3g as well WiFi) to my server to see my personal media (pics, music, video...but streaming video depends on your bandwidth) I use several apps but all of them use it's own media player so no way to pass music to PowerAmp..
They are:
Tonido
Plex
Qloud Media
You can try to access your Pc trough Samba share (\\servername\musicfolder) but not a really a wise idea if you care about the security of your pc...
Never tried by myself but should work:
Prerequisite (without this you will not be able to use this method)
Your kernel MUST support cifs (modules called cifs.ko).If you are on stock Rom/kernel... No way, if you are on a custom one it depend on the dev that have developed the kernel, try to find it out ( XDA is a good way )
Share your music folder(restrict acces to only one user avoid EVERYONE)
On your router redirect Samba(also known as cifs, smb or windows share) tcip port to your server intranet Ip (local ip of your server usually 192.168.xxx.xxx)
Install from the market an app to mount cifs share on your android phone (I use CIFS Manager, remember to configure it, it does not work out of the box)
Add your music share to CIFS Manager (you must know your Public Ip and, if it is not static, every time you have to know the new Ip your ISP assigned to you)
Using any File browser go to /mnt/cifs/ and you'll find the share you have just created
Browse it and you should be able to access to your music library, as well all the file of your Pc.
Not using this method or PowerAmp not sure if you'll be able to stream music or only to download it.
To be honest I wold not expose my Pc to Internet in this way.... Windows security is not so strong... Anyway It's up to you.
Hope this will work, as I never tested it,and hope will help you.

Thank you for the detailed response there, I'll look into it!

You're wellcome

I'm using " AUDIOGALAXY " it's free !!!!!

Hi pratetorious,
I do also use Dyndns services, quite all new router have built in the client to do it, but not sure that CIFS manager support HOSTNAME rather than simple IP, never tested it.
It could work anyway, but not sure about it
