I currently have an HTC Wizard G4 Locked running WM6 Business Edition and have Opera installed as my browser. I have TMobile in the US with the full $30 data plan.
I also have a home computer at home with a TV Tuner card so that I can watch TV. Orb Media Streaming is on and working as I can access it from a laptop anywhere.
When I go to mycast.orb.com, I can login to my computer and see the channels/files that I have. So I click on one, and it shows up asking if I want to open or save the asx files. I say open and WM Player opens up and says locating. Then it says The server is Busy or not responding. Try again later. If I open the asx in TCPMP, it says URL is not openable. What is the problem? I am streaming the video through port 81 from my computer. I would appreciate any answers. Thx
Use PIE, I never got it to work on opera.
Sounds like Opera may not be passing the stream file correctly to WMP.
I would just use PIE. That's what I access Orb through on WM6 and it works great.
the problem is that the codecs for wm10 are different than the ones from wm9. the is another thread in the wizard forums that has the wm9 files. you just copy them into the windows directory and you're good to go.
Hi, Hoping this one hasn't been posted already - couldn't find it in a search.
I use Windows Media Centre in Vista to record TV shows. I then use Windows Media Player to auto sync those shows to my Pocket PC (TyTN II but that shouldn't be important here).
When syncing, Windows Media Player does alot of (essential) file conversion, which slows down the syncing process. Does anyone know if it's possible to set WMP to do this conversion as soon as the file is recorded, so that when I plug the device in I don't have to wait for conversion?
Sorry I dont' know. I use tivo to record, which transfers to my pc, and from there I stream it using winamp remote.
but you might not have an unlimited data plan i guess
Is it possible to embed the media player on a mobile webpage for the HTC phones?
i run www.mmradio.org and i have a fully functioning windows media stream i want to embed on a mobile webpage.
So far i can link a button to the stream which will open up the windows media player and stream the audio.
But i want to have the media player embedded on the page, and stream directly from the page. Is this possible? and how?
Been going through MSDN however didnt find anything usefull for this task.
Hope someone can help or point me to the right place for such programming information.
Kind regards

Hey everyone-
I've been doing a bunch of searching lately for an easy-to-use and convenient application for streaming videos from my pc to android device (like airplay for the iphone). And I can't seem to find one specific app that makes it simple and easy, they all seem to be a pain in the ass. I know this question has been asked before, but not for a couple months, so what in your opinion is the best application and/or method for streaming content from a pc to an android device? Thanks in advance for any help.

If you have your PC setup with the dnla server software, this place has a beta dnla client for Andoid. I saw the write up on EuroDroid.com.

I tried using the Playon streaming with the mobile link. It worked ok...but I do want a nice streaming option.
VLC Remote
Doesn't VLC Remote just control whats playing on your desktop? I think the OP is looking for something to stream movies to his handset.
That aside, I love VLC Remote.
Yes, I'm looking to stream videos from my pc's hdd to my phone, in an easy way (i.e. in the same way that airvideo for the iphone does).

And i don't have a dlna server on my pc, it's just an external hdd connected to my pc.
I use File Expert as a file manager/explorer and I mapped my computer under it's network tab, then when I select a video I use VPlayer to play it in. Works perfectly!
Every other way I tried before this required the video to download before watching, but this way I can stream any video directly.
You will need to setup your video/movies/etc folders on PC to be shared with proper permissions. Easiest to just share the whole external HDD.

Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it.
Let me put it this way, is there anything as stupid simple as audiogalaxy for android that will do the same thing for music?
I'd definitely give RockPlayer a go. It has both hardware and software decoding and it works with TVersity!
Same way, through the file explorer. You just need to share your music on pc and connect to it.
My Desire HD came with DNLA client software and when I go into the music program I can stream in there directly from my WMP library, that's probably the easiest way but that would vary with different phones.
I use VLC Stream & Convert, though it is somewhat cumbersome to set up...
I ended up using windows task scheduler and a lot of program commands to start it with my computer all stealthy
Yeah, I've got windows media player set-up correctly with all the proper permissions and such. All of my media files are showing up, i.e. music, videos, etc, and all of my music plays fine as well. But, the one thing that won't play are ANY of my videos, which are mostly xvid-encoded .avi files, which I'm not sure skifta supports (as it uses the dlna classification). Any suggestions?
If you have a windows PC you can easily setup windows media player to stream via dlna. Just google "windows media player dlna". If you are on mac or linux, just substitute for OSX or your linux distro and the word dlna for a bunch of options. Once it's up and going you can use the dlna app mentioned earlier or if you are lucky enough to have a SGS like me, you can use Samsung All Share to stream. I have used this since I got my phone and it's working like a charm!

I assume you mean video since audiogalaxy is for music? And to put it bluntly, no there isn't anything as simple as that for video yet.
Hey guys,
I know it is quite common to stream media from PC to android or stream content from android to a smart TV or Chromecast etc; but is there any even reasonably elegant solution to stream media to PC.
I am well aware that I could use VNC (or similar) to control the PC or access files on my tablet from my PC using an FTP setup, however I am looking to playback media through PC from my devices.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance,
install " bubble upnp " on your android device and launch it. make sure your android and pc are on the same wifi then launch windows media player othe the left side near you should see Bubbleupnp and click it.

I have used this app but I was not able to stream it, what can be the possible reasons?
not to fimiliar with similar apps. but ya bubbleupnp is weird if you have movies or pics they have to be in the DCIM?/the camera folder where the device saves stuff from the camera.
