Hello All,
We recently launched a live tv channel on cloud and this is intended for the operators (CATV) and not for users. We gave one OTT (android stb) to the operators through which they can stream the channel and connect it to their network. OTT uses MX player to stream.
The issue is our stream at the server sometimes gets interrupted, or the OTT at the operator end gets power failure etc. In such cases the operator needs to manually go and play the stream.
We have achieved auto start of MX player on reboot of the OTT. but how we can achieve following:
1. the player automatically start streaming the last network stream
2. while streaming if the stream dies out, the player keeps refreshing and wait for the stream to be up and start playing again instead of getting closed.

Just thought I share this with everyone. While fiddling with my Tab tonight, I accidentally clicked on Samsung's AllShare app I previously installed, but never tried.
To my surprise, the app quickly went into discovery mode and a "WDTV live" popped up among the list of supported devices. Since I was just watching a movie on my WDTV live I was first completely puzzled as to how the heck Tab found it and just for the kicks I made a connection with the WDTV live. It didn't require any passwords, numbers or anything - simply made the connection in a second or two.
A list of videos I had on the Tab showed up, I clicked one and voila! - the video soon went streaming from the Tab to my WDTV live and then to my projector screen!
After a few minutes I remembered I recently plugged into the WDTV live a WIFI USB dongle to be used with my keyboards. I had no idea that WDTV would be able to receive anything other than keyboard inputs through them, but turns out it does!
I didn't do a lot of testing, but it seems to work very well - had no problem at all streaming DIVX quality video from the tab and even managed to play one 720 movie as well as 1080. Both of them are heavily compressed, tough, so be warned. I also tried playing a h264 720 movie but it was just all black for a minute so I gave up. This is the same movie that Tab plays normally through movie app, so I'm guessing it's probably the WiFi transfer rate that's the bottleneck. Maybe it would work after enough of data was transfered, but as I said - I didn't wait too long. Photos and music work just fine.
So, there you have it, if you have WDTV live, a WIFI USB dongle and the need to stream from the Tab, you can do it without any problem!
You can also use twonky and stream you media to an xbox 360 or ps3 as well.

Hey everybody, I am having some issues here, not sure if it is a problem with wp7 in general, or specific to arrive. I have Zune pass and absolutely love it, ability to stream music via Zune on the background kind of makes up for no Pandora or background play with other streaming apps such as slacker or last fm. My problem is with how choppy Zune streaming is right now for me. If I'm on evdo streaming basically stops when I get a text and it would say opening for about 10 seconds before usually skipping the song altogether... Now, I get that data connection is idle when text comes in due to no simultaneous voice and data being available on cdma but I've never had that big of an issue with streaming apps and Android. Over WiFi, same thing but not as bad, which really puzzles me as there should not be a problem while on WiFi?
Is this issue specific to arrive or all windows phone 7 phones have that problem? It seems as if I'm browsing the web, Zune rarely streams at all. Would going to att and getting Samsung focus fix this?
Hey,
I just got a TF300 and I've been trying to get video streaming to work on the tab. I'm using BubbleUPNP and I've tried about a dozen video players to go with it (dice player, vplayer, moboplayer etc etc).
The issue I'm having is that the video just randomly stops. I'm not having any issues relating to video quality or file formats. I'll be streaming a video and the video will just randomly stop, and because its streaming I can't resume at the same place I have to start again.
I have not yet managed to complete a single video without it being exited at a random interval. Its not always the same place, sometimes I'll get 20minutes in, other times 10minutes of the same video file.
I'm using iSedora media center to stream across my internal LAN. I've been using this program to stream to my TV without issues for over a year.
At the moment it looks like WiFi could be the culprit however
a) I've used WiFi Analyzer to find an unused channel for my router
b) I've tested the stream right next to my router at about -20dBm to -30dBm
c) I have tried a factory reset
d) I have tried 8dBi antenna and they just made my signal worse
Any assistance here would be amazing
Thanks

Have you tried UpnPlay?
Just so you can rule out the client.
i use emitapp for streaming - works perfectly over lan and at work.
it does allow resuming from a specific point in the video as well.
Hi,
I am exploring different ways to cast music to my TV. Given that there is no cast button on google play music I'm trying out the music app. I noticed you can play music from your local network on it and I have a hdd full of music. Normally I have this plugged straight into my wdtv,but since I want to try share it with my phone I have plugged it into the router and set that up.
The problem is that it is still not coming up under local network in the music app. It is however showing under local network in file commander, but if I try play music or movies from there it just says it can't play the file.
How do I get this working?
Also, I know this isn't a wdtv forum, but I haven't managed to get it to show on that either, so if anyone has any guidance there that would also be much appreciated.
Just to add, my pc is able to access all the files fine, it's just the e4 and the wd that are having issues
Ok, I've figured out how to access a hdd plugged into the wdtv, so that has solved one problem, the hdd is now plugged into there,not the router. But everything else is still the same. I can access the folders and see what's in them,but can't play any media
Update: I now have vlc player, and that plays the stuff from the hdd with no problems. However that has no cast button, so defeats the purpose of what I wanted to do anyway. Is it just that the Sony video and music apps won't play from a hdd on the network?that seems strange since they both have local network options in their menus
So this seem to be a constant problem for instance when playing youtube and you chromecast it to your tv..
after a while youtube app will shut down and you have to re open it and press the chromecast symbol to get back to your chromecast cue..
of course I have the autostart permission for youtube... but when playing thru chromecast the video is not played on the local device only casted..
any solution ???
This is probably not a problem on global version, I have the chinese version and I think it is the wisdom engine that shuts it off without understanding its still active thru chromecast.
