guys,
i've got a really straight question which probably gets complicated by specific scenarios but i'm hoping to collect in this thread all your feedback and experience so that i can make my final decision whether to buy or not...
...can you STREAM videos from your computer / router ( mine is 802.11b but i can buy a 802.11g if needed ) to the K-JAM without experiencing saccades ?
...i'm talking about .avi ( divx,xvid, mostly, some .mpg too ) files NOT CONVERTED to low rez or specific PDA bitrates usually around 700MB long ( yeah, movie rips ) I DO NOT want to recode for PDA viewing.
is there a difference in playback performance with videos of "weird" resolution ( 99% of my videos are NOT 640x480 precisely or 320 x 240 either ) ?
...if it's hard to playback for the WIZARD, do you think it's possible ( better ? ) to run TERMINAL SERVICES and have the PC perform the playback while the WIZARD only receives the image stream ?
THANKS A LOT for your feedback on this matter; this is really the one "to buy or not to buy" feature i'm looking for in the WIZARD.
=)
PS - on a side note, how would you judge viewing a movie on your WIZARD screen ?
is it too small for you ?
THANKS !

Not sure about the other questions but I can answer these.
You can't use Terminal Services to view video. It is far too slow, and only 16 colours so it would not work.
I am upgrading from the XDA Mini to the K-JAM, both of which have 2.8" QVGA screens, and viewing video on the 2.8" screen is fine. It looks better than my previous 3.5" QVGA screen because of the higher density of the pixels. You can't really see the black between the pixels. Its great!!
If you haven't purchased by Wednesday next week, I may be able to try it for you. I should get my K-JAM then
Without trying it, I would have to say that it's probably not possible to run full-size divx/avi/wmv from your wizard over wifi. It has a hard time just playing PDA-size videos off local storage.
It would be interesting for someone to confirm it with empirical evidence though.
I have only read good reports of video playback on the K-JAM.
Ive streamed many video files to my xd2i and now my exec...........occasionally it can slow up or re-buffer, but thats part of the the fun lol
You might need a different player to WM10 though, something like the Core player (TCPMP) does the job
Did anyone try to Stream Beyond TV to the Wizard ?????
can you see shared folders on your network? or do you just put in the URL/address manually to stream those videos?
i use www.orb.com
but i'd love to work out how the hell i can browse network shares via wireless on my wizard
you can see network folders if you have Resco File Explorer and then click on the file to play it. I don't think this works on WM file explorer and its a pain to enter a network address into the file field (to long). I haven't tried it with DIVX or MPG yet. but when I tried streaming with WMV I get an error. something about parameters. any ideas?
use pocketlan.
(or resco)
I can stream full size divx (movies from bittorrent) ok on my jam with wifi card but it does buffer quite a bit
the g might make a difference on the k-jam...
I have the same problem. Resco and Total commander can open shared "drive" but if I try to open *.wmv or *.wma by using WM10 I got an "error" from WM10.
But if I associate the wma mp3 avi to TPMC(Betaplayer) i will run!
Like if built in app will never open networked version...

Well guys let me tell you that you can stream videos or music from your pc to your pocket pc via wifi anyway you have to install Windows media encoder to do this process and you will be watching the videos or listening to music from the Media player on your pocket pc ;D
Hello,
Already tried with WMEncoder 9 always get this "error" I guess that it's something with DRM but it's not...
When I use other device (WM2003 with wifi) Pocket WM works well...with my brodcasting PC
I think it's something with WM5 (not able to do wifi with my 3th device 2020 with Buzz1.6c czuz I don't have Wifi SD...) or 9100 ROM..
If anybody can test "built in" (ROM) app using shared resource
it will be great ...
guys,
have anyone among you lucky owners of a K-JAM finally managed to stream an .avi movie ( 700Mb and not 640x480 or 320x240 ) from the PC to your smartphone through an 802.11b or 802.11g wifi connection without saccades yet ?
i still fail to find confirmation of this online, and i'm hurting everytime i talk on my dying cell unable to upgrade just yet because i couldn't find the answer to this question to make up my mind...
=P
...i'm hoping you have some good news.
THANKS !=)
no and even 320*240...
ok, a month and a half has gone by since my first post, and i was wondering if you guys have had enough time to play with your new cell to give feedback about this specific topic... :roll:
i'm stuck with an almost useless phone until i upgrade, and i would REALLY join the WIZARD group...
PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Have anyone tried YouTube Mobile on your Prophet?
My Dopod 818 Pro keeps giving me error after I click watch video.
Yeap.. same here..
I dun think it works on 818Pro for some reason. Tried it with Opera, also the same.
I usually just use vixy.net to convert the youtube video file then copy it to the storage card and watch it. But this is offline.
I'm facing the exact same problem... I tried to find a solution to the problem last night, but I can't find no media player that handles rtsp streams...
i tried it on my wm6 wizard, and it worked perfectly on IE, thx!
(although i tried it on Opera, and it doesnt work)
Don't work for me also on my Dopo 818 pro and can't seem to find a solution, I have tried it on Opera, Netfront, TCPMP, Windows media, streaming media, even try it on a desktop computer, don't seem to work.
Can anyone help?
hi folks hope someone has some ideas cos this problem is really bugging me!!!
if i download an flv from youtube using the flash video bundle it works fine on playback. no problems so far
if i download an flv using the desktop (say from Flikz etc) and transfer to the xda then try to play it comes up file type not supported???
anyone any ideas cos i always thought that this should play??
i have tried 3 different versions of tcpmp so far all with the flash video bundle
also if i try recompiling the file to mpeg the picture is fine but the audio goes to hell. this is random works fine on some files but duff on others, all play on the desktop though
has anyone else come across this or does anyone have any solution?
cheers for any advice
Chris

Please post this sort of stuff in the general forum, not the dev/hacking.

It's an issue with TCPMP, so it involves the development of TCPMP
Have you tried using YouTubePlay to load the *.flv files? Might work as I believe it uses slightly different codecs...

Dear Friends,
I am new to the site, I am really struck here i got my HTC Hd2 just 2 days back and now there is a problem my videos are not playing and if i try to open the file in media player it gives this error ''The source filter for this file could not be loaded.'' please help me what should I do?????
thanks
i am facing the same problem i cant play the videos posted by redah
and i cant stream video from opera halp
Same here
I had the same problem. I couldn't play videos on the phone - if I recorded one using the camera, it woldn't play, and if I tried to play one from the storage card I got the same message as mentioned above.
The problem was my YouTube app. It's on T-Mobile - when I bought it, they installed a YouTube app (which isn't included on T-Mobile phones). I think it's called 'MyLostBlog YouTube App' or something. Once I uninstalled that it started working again.
