I have a linksys webcam that streams its output in a .asf link, however I have yet to find an android program out there that will stream the video. a few browsers like chrome and firefox will start to download the .asf file but does so in an endless cycle until it crashes or chops of a segment of time, which can be played back by a few video players ive found, however no player i have found is able to directly fead from it, so there is no real time viewing of the fead.
anyone know off hand of an .asf steam capable video player that works on the xoom? id love to use it to watch my webcams instead of using vlc on my desktop which is half way across the room where i usually sit and surf on the tablet.
thanks all!

Hi there --
I'm trying to help my wife with a really strange Windows Media Player problem.
She has four videos on her phone (T-Mobile MDA). One video is a WMV recorded using the camera, in mp4 format. The other three are MPEGs converted to WMVs using Windows Movie Maker in WinXP.
To a first order, all the videos play fine. However, if she plays the captured video, THEN tries to play one of the converted videos, she will get a blank screen. If you go to the "task manager", and kill WMP, you can play the converted videos again, until the next time you play the captured video.
The symptom is a completely blank screen. Sound plays fine, and the cursor moves across like the video is playing, but no video.
Has anyone else seen this symptom?
Thankx!
imho them wmp is not a really good player
i would try winamp if that also do it
you can narrow it down to
a codec issue
or a video card driver issue
This does sound like a codec issue. Personally I don't recommend using WMP on your phone or on your desktop.
Instead download the free TCPMP. It supports many formats and has a wide verity of options to control playback, performance and memory usage.
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download
codec?
I'm definitely going to have my wife try the other media player, thanks.
A codec may be involved, but there clearly has to be something else at foot: the problem arises across individual playing sessions. All the videos play, if you start from a fresh WMP. The faulty interaction only comes up if you play a video *from the phone* first. Totally weird.
So it sounds like no one else has seen this...

The average wm smartphone owner would wants the {Diamond<>Back<> Streaming Media Player} on their mobile device to access all those hot rtsp:// videos, music videos and news websites.

Right here in the good old USA we use it to watch CBS news daily on the hour mobile video news updates, CBS sports, NFL news video and AccuraWeather video updates 24 Hrs a day via rtsp video feeds.
Jockyw2001 and I were the first to introduce a working rtsp:// zip file YouTube player smartphone version formated excusively for wm smartphone here at xda-developers several years ago. I was the first to come out with the blu-ray screen for the smartphone format. I offered the blu-ray screen on the wm smartphone rtsp:// video player long before HTC did it recently on SoftBank of Japan's Dash like smartphone.
On the other hand, with this new Diamond<>Back<> Streaming Media player, notice their has been no other rtsp:// streaming video player on the market with a blu-ray address/title bar at the TOP of the screen, another first that I have introduced.{see the photos above}, Whats so awesome about this rtsp:// video player, no wifi is required to stream the videos, the download is always ahead of the video data stream with Monster codecs on board for the highest video resolution quality similar to mobile Definition TV.
I have another super rtsp:// streaming video player called the "blu-ray screaming video player" this baby works on just about all wm smartphones and wm PDA devices via wifi, 3g.

Hi
this software run in wm6.1 standar ?
I own a TP2. There are four different ways (that I'm aware of) to get iPlayer material playing on this phone:
1) Change the User Agent string in Opera 9.5 to impersonate a Samsung Omnia. You can then visit the mobile version of the iPlayer website and stream material. It plays in the Streaming Media player. Resolution is roughly 320x176. Doesn't work over 3G unless you're with 3 or Vodafone.
2) For programmes that have a "download for mobile device" option on the main iPlayer site (browsed from a desktop PC) you can grab the resulting .wmv file, copy it across to the phone, and play it on the TP2's "Pocket" Media Player. Resolution is 320x176 (ish).
3) There is a stand-alone iPlayer app, which imitates an iPhone; however, it doesn't work on my TP2 (just crashes before you can access anything).
4) The "myplayer" app. This offers two options: stream at 320x176, or (sometimes) download in .mov format. The latter has a slightly higher resolution - something like 480x270. The .mov files can be played back fairly well using Coreplayer, I believe, but I'm too cheap to pay for Coreplayer. Using TCPMP it's a bit jerky, and playing full-screen even more so. Does work over 3G although your carrier will hate you if you try it.
Now, using HTCAlbum as a player, the TP2 can very comfortably handle an .mp4 file with a res of 800x480, and a bit-rate of 750kb/s. So what I'm wondering is if there's any other way of getting iPlayer material to play which offers a higher resolution and better video quality?
The "iPlayer Desktop" downloads appear to be in .mp4 format, but no player other than iPlayer Desktop seems to be able to make head or tail of them.
IPlayer does offer higher-res .wmv downloads of some programmes - these have a res of something like 720x540, but are recorded anamorphically (so they play back at 960x540 or so, with horizontal upscaling). Trying to play one of these on a TP2 (using Windows Media Player) is fairly painful - the bit-rate is too high for it handle, and it doesn't recognise that it's anamorphic, so the aspect ratio is wrong. Feeding one of these WMV's through the Encoder programme that I normally use for converting video to HTCAlbum-compliant .mp4 files produces sparkly gibberish - the WMV is obviously encrypted in a way the Encoder application can't detect or handle.
Are there any other options I'm missing?
So after completing the initial setup. I decide to check out My Net. Finds my NAS and other computers fine. I try playing video, no luck. Can't play anything. I try playing audio. The volume gets stuck on full blast. I try browsing photos. My Net crashes every time I click on a photo. Great first impression.
Installed the update and still having crashes when trying to view photos from my NAS.
The hardware is nice (lots of light bleed though), but the software has a LONG way to go.
Any one having success with My Net photo viewing?

I couldn't get video to stream either. I always get a "fail to load"
Yeah, I can see my videos under DLNA from my WD NAS, but the tablet can't actually play any of them. I assume it is because they aren't in a format that the tablet can play. Which would be... I don't know.
I don't even bother using MyNet as it won't play the videos on my NAS as their either Mkv or AVI so I use File Expert and Rockplayer instead and have no problems.
I can play audios and view photos that are on my PC (Windows 7) using the Pad, it is smooth.
But for videos - I can see them but not able to play back - also thought about format problems (I tested some .wmv files)
from my understanding, the transformer doesn't have xvid etc codecs a la the galaxy so is probably limited to formats like .3gp .mp4 for native playback. video players are available on the market that address this issue but can they be made the default player through mynet?

No you can only use the tablets own player with MyNet, as far as I am aware there is no way to select which player it uses.
I cant even get My Net to see my DNLA (UPnP) server. I have Twonky Server running on my Windows Home Server box and only once My Net was able to see it. Every time I start it, it shows nothing except Transformer itself. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
All other players on my network (Popcorn Hour, Asus O!Play, and old D-Link) see it with no issues.
Can't get this to work either

I'm running a WD "myworldbook", NAS with the videos on it. It also uses Twonky. I can see all the videos using mynet on the Transformer, but of course they won't play. Most are XVID. So it should be possible to get to the point where you can see the videos on the tab if you are using Twonky, but then you are on to the format problem anyway, so it might not do much good.

Thanks, I have no idea why mine is blind then. At this poing I would settle for music and pictures at least... No idea why it doesn't see it.
I downloaded RockPlayer (and Vital Player) and copied some videos over to the transformer but all I could really get to play well was low res avi files.
RockPlayer 720 .mkv software decoding stuttered a lot.
RockPlayer 720 .mkv hardware decoding just showed a big blob on the screen.
RockPlayer 720 .mpg software decoding lots of stuttering.
RockPlayer 720 .mpg hardware decoding wouldn't play.
VitalPlayer 720 .mkv blob on screen.
VitalPlayer 720 .mpg stuttering and sound got out of sync.
Trying to view photos from WHS still crashes My Net.
I got he UPnPlay app from the market which does DLNA well with Win7. You will also need another app to play the videos, I'm using MoboPlayer with their addition codec pack and can stream most videos nicely

Which codec pack did you download for the mobo player? All I saw was codec packs for arm 5,6, & 7 processors. I thought we had an arm 9 processor?

hello there , ive been looking for a good streaming video player but couldnt find one , any suggestions ? thnx
I use plex for my android devices, most of the decoding is done on the server side. It also enables me to stream to anywhere as long as my computer is on. If your liking for internet streaming then personally I use mx player
