Does anyone know of a way to receive the BBC Radio 1 stream on the Magician
use Pocket Media Player 10 or Real player.. and enter the URL..that's it
I have tried that, hence the reason for posing the question.
You never stated that you had tried either of those options.
You haven't even stated what the problem is, error messages etc...
Ok good point PDA,
The problem is that I cant get Real player 1.0 or 1.1 to work with the bbc's stream of radio1, i have tried the website links but that just wont take me to the player and I have tried the r1live.ram & r1livev7.ram files with the player but it just says the connection faild and gives me a message about not being able to connect to server.

Do any other streams work?
Are you using T-Mobile for your internet connection? If so, open the .ram file with a text editor. Replace :554 with :7070 and it will work. T-Mobile blocks port 554 but not 7070. I'm using the so called 1.1 preview version (although it's been a preview for about 3 years.)
If you're using a NAT firewall, some of the older routers won't pass the UDP protocol correctly and that will also block the stream.
The BBC page will give you the option of listening in an external player. If that option is selected, Pocket Internet Explorer will download the ram file and open the Real Player. Save the ram file as in the future you can just click on the file and the BBC will start streaming.
I am able to use the Virgin Radio Stream, but not the bbc, I have an orange M500, but I do not intend to use it via GPRS, too expensive, I have so far only tried using the internet connection via active-sync, but my PC has no problem streaming it, I have just bought a wireless card, so will be testing that asap.

Hi -
I have a security camera which I am streaming on a Windows XP SP2 box using
Windows Media Encoder v9.
I have a recently purchased Sprint ppc-6700 phone running the Windows Mobile
5
platform. It's running Windows Media v10.
I can't seem to view the stream on the PPC. The error I get is "Cannot find
the file. The file might have been moved, renamed, or deleted...."
I tried connecting using the url of mms://123.456.789:8080
I also tried to create an ASX file on a web server and have it point to the
above address
with no success.
Both my encoder and PPC device are on the same net with no firewall issues.
When I use a service such as www.beelinetv.com, I can view all of that stuff
OK
on the PPC device.
I can view the encoder output on another XP machine just fine. I am encoding
using WM9 150k video.
Any ideas ? :?:
Any joy
did you get any joy with this..
im getting exactly the same problem with my m5000
supported codecs ?
maybe you can try other codec, such as mpeg4
how about using software live webcamxp??, with this i can view my how webcam on the ppc screen from http://*.*.*.*:8080/pocketpc etc
Has anyone got a solution to this? I've searched various streaming threads on this forum but can't find an answer.
I'm trying to stream a video using Windows Media Encoder 9 on my Windows XP home SP2 PC to my O2 exec via wifi, but I can't open the file with either WMP or TCMP. With WMP I get the error message "Cannot find the file. The file night have been moved, renamed or deleted...". TCMP gives me a similar "Could not open file" error.
I can open the file stream from my laptop on the same wifi network using WMP, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the streaming. I can connect to the internet via wifi no problem from my Exec. I've tried using both http://<ip address>:<port>/ and mms://<ip address>:<port>/ but with no success. I'm sure there's a simple solution!
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated, particularly if it doesn't involve buying/installing any further software (I'm not bothered whether it plays back full screen or not).
Thanks
I know its a verrrry long shot but.....
Code:
--Universal can't connect to Windows Server 2003--
Cant map to a Windows 2003 Server share? Is it also a Domain Controller? Check the server for
start / programs / administraton tools / Domain Controller Security Policy
Then check Local Policies / Security Options :
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (always)
change to disabled
I had to use that fix so i could map drives, i could browse to the shares but it just kept looping on the password dialog.
Is it possible that the same style fix could be done on your streaming machine. after all, you do say another xp machine can do it fine
worth a shot! after all those keys look disabled on my xp machine
Had the same problem. With wme9, wm5 and media player you need to add "/*" at the end ot the url. Hope this helps.
Many thanks for the replies. It was the /* at the end of the url that fixed it. Plus I had to use the internal ip address of the PC rather than the machine name or the external ip address of the router, even though the machine name worked fine for the laptop, and it was the external ip address that was showing in the connections tab of media encoder.
Canot connect Mobile PC to Stream (WM Encoder)
OK, as per others advice I tried to connact my WM 6.1 device to my Streaming Media over bith LAn and InterNet address http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:8080 with the /* on the end. This is better than without the /* - actually brings up the Mobile player screen - however then get the following message:
Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the plyer does not support the format you are trying to play.
I can get the stream on my PC's though, bith XP and Vista boxes, just will not work on the WM6.1 handheld - all WiFi.
Any suggestions ?????
Hi,
I try to use VLC for Pocket PC and I would like to access my PC that has multiple drives shared. I have tried Total Commander but I was unable to open a //192.xxx.xxx.xxx/Drive Link
Is there any other Method ?
Can I use Media Player to play songs from my PC as a Network Share to my Mini S (Wizard) ?

i know you can do it using rosco explorer. the way i do it is to use the software from www.orb.com. it sits in your system try and you then access it from pocket ic and it streams the media to your phone from anyware in the world via. gprs or wifi etc
grim
Resco Explorer works a treat for that.
dont connect to an ip, connect to your computer ie
\\computername\sharedfoldername
Did the above naming convention still didn't work I was waiting for it to ask me for username and password since it is in a workgroup on a home wireless network. Just says can't connnect.
just to let you know - my problems with alarm clock started when i installed resco explorer and ENDED when i trashed this application - very useful but I want to rely on my wizard waking me up in the morning ;-)
I found a way to stream my media files and listen and view it o my Pocket PC with windows media encoder.
Download the file and follow the steps.
I just attach a network drive and run mp3 or avi directly from wm10 or tcpmp.
A version of the excellent freeware GSFinder has ben designed for the universal:
http://mkawa.dyndns.org/Soft/GSfinder/GSFinderE/GSFinder-U.exe
It allows easy attachment of network drives.
and from anywhere ?
Good but is there a way to stream a mp3 from a computer if I'm connected to another network ? (not my local network)
For example I'm with some friends, connected with wifi, but not in my home. Then I tell them "hey, have you listened to this song ? Wait a minte, I connect to my computer and I stream it directly on my pocket pc ! "
I would love that kind of feature !
yes, if mark your home PC on your router as a DMZ or open the appropriate ports to the streaming PC. You will also need to know your ASDL/cable IP address.
Note that this is generally inadvisable as it leaves your home network open to attack.
A much easier and better way of doing it is to buy/own 3rd party website storage (i.e. on your ISP). then download the MP3s you wish to share onto this, so they can be played from anywhere on the Internet.

Colonel, thanks for this info, but please could you also tell us how to configure the network drive settings in GSFinder? It asks for "Remote" and "Local Name" settings when you select "Network Connect" - what information needs to go into those boxes? I've tried IP addresses, device names etc but I haven't found the right combination yet.
Mach
Remote name is \\PC name on the network\share drive.
You need to know the 'full computer name' of the PC. (Start --> Control panel --> System --> Computer name)
You then need to make a share drive. Goto the folder/drive you want to share in windows explorer. Right click on the drive and select share and share this folder. You will be asked to enter share name.
Then what you type in remote name on the pocket pc is:
\\pcname\sharename
The local name can be anything you want. It will appear on your pocket pc under windows explorer or gsfinder under a folder called network on the root.
I would suggest you uses windows help or search the internet if you need more info. There is loads around

Hi
Thanks a lot for your input.
I can stream over loacl WIFI quite easily from my Dell PDA. But when i try the same in WM5 on the XDA Exec, it seems to want to connect through the GPRS connection and then it will stream the music. I think its sending data to GRPS and hence charges!!! Why doe it need to do this? If im connected to my WIFI, its should stream without any GPRS connection. Anyone else get this? Thanks
I'm trying to use real player's radio but it doesn't seem to be working. When I type in the stream address and click ok, it tries to conenct for a while and then says unable to connect (although gprs is running normally).
In the network settings (which I haven't changed yet), it says type: gprs, bandwidth: 3 slots, and the rtsp proxy & port boxes are empty. Do I need to change something for it to work? Or are there only specific stream that would work on the mobile version of real player.
Thanks.
Same problem here...
I got a HTC TyTn, and Real Player won't open .ram files.
Impossible to hear my favourite radio!
Someone has an idea how to fix?

See my above answer - http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=344&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
I am trying to use my p3600 through my carrier 3G portal. I am using Opera for PDA. But when I am trying to get streaming video I recive this error message. "The address type is unknown or unsupported"
the file it is trying to reach is a 3gp. When I am trying to use Internet explorer, it opens the windows media player, but also there I get an error - "Undefined error"
What sould I do to get it to work, and preferably in Opera?
Is it a codec problem and where can I get the correct codec?

Opera will not launch any external program (it's already a miracle if it launches itself given the amount of unresolved bugs).
It should be possible with Internet Explorer but I don't think the streaming client supports 3gp streaming.
This is what you need.
