Streaming Media?

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.

Streaming Audio (Sprint Touch Pro 2)

I am currently on the stock shipped ROM from Sprint. I am trying to listen to streaming audio from a website Railroad Radio.net and whenever I click on for example, the Vancouver/Columbia River feed (under Western Zone) and click on the Windows Media Player link it won't load the feed. I'm not quite sure what to do from here on out. Has anyone had luck with such sites or is there a mobile audio player that can stream these feeds? Any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I tried to get GSplayer and Mortplayer to play some shoutcast files and they just seem to keep rolling over on connecting. I did however get pandora to work after the whole advanced config setup detailed on another site. Anyone got a reason why the streaming audio won't work on the stock rom?

What's a good radio stream player for Android?

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.

Is there a media app that let you play music directly from your computer?

is there a media player app that can play music directly from your computer over network?

gMote 2.0 has this feature though it is very buggy and a pain to use sometimes.

Depending on your device and what software is already installed on your computer, "UPnPlay" will add universal plug and play to your phone if not present, allowing you to connect to many different UPNP devices over wi-fi. This allows my Droid to connect to Windows Media player to play just about anything (audio/video) in my library. Should have been included in all 2.2 builds in my opinion.

Audiogalaxy for sure. Its amazing.

thanks, audio galaxy is just what i needed.

Plex is pretty good for video streaming
Audiogalaxy does audio well but is less perfect from the video streaming point of view

DLNA
I'm using J. River Media Center with the Android Gizmo app to stream media (it's free on the Market). So I can use my Desire HD as the server or client and send media anywhere in my home over wifi. Solid app but takes a bit of setting up to start.. and the Windows client is not free.

Winamp has such a feature as long as you install winamp on your system and setup it's network player it should be really easy.

I've tried them all. I gave up my zune since I didn't want to update it or delete music for new stuff. I'd rather have access to my music anywhere.
Audiogalaxy- first thing I tried. It didn't pick up all my music regardless of how many times I redid the library. The audio quality was ok but it was a really basic app and website.
Homepipe- useless since it only streams if the app is active. Hit home and you're sitting in silence.
Subsonic- didn't try it too long. Another basic app.
Jukefly- still using this. Love it. It installed on my htpc no problem and the app is nice outside of having to manually force close the service. Quality is adjustable by network type. It picks up my music, and adds new stuff without having to refresh the library. The Internet app is great foo. If your server is off it will still display your library but stream the audio from youtube. I highly recommend it.

I usually just mount my music network share with cifs manager, then any app can access the files on the share.

I see that the thread is relatively old, but maybe some of the people still have their setups working.
Did you do something special to the setup on Windows, because I would like to do more or less the same, but neither my computer sees my phone nor the other way around.
I have another UPNP-server in my Wifi which can be used by my phone as well as my computer, but what I would love to do is tell my computer to play what's on the server using my phone as remote. It worked nicely with mpd and mpDroid, but I would love to have this setup also work with Win7...
Any hints?

Listen to iheartradio stations without app

I figured this out a few days ago. I had gotten tired of using the iheartradio app. It's bloated, and spams my phone. All I wanted it for was to listen to a couple of stations. On my computer, I went to the site of an iheartradio station and clicked the link to listen live. I clicked the button to start the station playing. Then I right clicked on the page and selected the inspect option. Then I clicked the network tab and looked for an entry to appear that has playlist.m3u in it. I right clicked on one of those entries and selected the copy link address option. Then I opened VLC, clicked media then the open network stream option. I deleted whatever was there then pasted the url I had copied earlier. Then the station started playing. I then saved the playlist as an xspf playlist. I open that playlist in VLC on my desktop machine or on my phone and it plays.
Earlier I tried making a m3u playlist using the same stream url, but only the part up to and including playlist.m3u8. VLC would play it for maybe a minute or so then stop.
I'm using Google Chrome for linux on my desktop and my phone is an LG Xcharge using Android Nougat.
Now I can listen to the stations I want and don't have the iheart app taking up valuable storage space on my phone, also this frees up memory.

im trying to do the same as you. all im trying to stream is dc101.1.
Below is the link. it plays in vlc and the sound is not 100% it fades in and out.. but it work
https://c8.prod.playlists.ihrhls.co...ds:true&playedFrom=324&devicename=web-desktop
I try to use the same link in logitech media server and it stops after a minute. I used the same link in vlc app on android and it plays and stops and plays and stops...not fluid stream at all..
IS there something i have to change? Can you try the above and see how it works for you?!?
thanks

It seems that apps are required for most functionality and very few things are built in.
