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 ?????
For a while I've had some of my music accessible over the internet and I play it at my friends' house where they have older computers with smaller capacity.
This is how the internet access is setup
1) the file server is running XP Pro with IIS v5 as the webserver
2) I have a "media" folder that is shared within the my home network
3) That same folder is also shared on the IIS webserver (Read-only + Directory Browsing)
4) I forwarded port 80 to the file server in my router
5) I setup an account at dyndns.org (example: myserver.dydns.org)
So if I want to play my music on any computer I browse to http://myserver.dyndns.org/media/ and I get a list of my music folder (categorized as genre/artist/album/01 filename.mp3), for example, if I want to play a specific song, I could browse to http://myserver.dyndns.org/media/genre/artist/album/01 Title.mp3
Here is my problem: I can not play my mp3s on WM5
* If I browse to a file, I only get the option to download the mp3
* If I open Windows Media Player , click on Menu > Library, then click on Menu > OpenUrl, then type the url "http://myserver.dyndns.org/media/genre/artist/album/01 Title.mp3", I get the error message:
"Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play"
I also have m3u playlists setup in the Media folder. Some have relative urls to the files (for example: ../music/genre/artist/album/01 Title.mp3) while others have the absolute url (e.g. http://myserver.dyndns.org/media/genre/artist/album/01 Title.mp3) . Both play with no problems on the desktop version of WMP, but they will not play on the Mobile version.
After searching the web, I found out that WMM natives supports playlists in the asx format, so I created asx files which WMM loads automatically from the browser but throws the error message:
"Cannot play any items in the playlist. For additional information, on the Now Playing screen, select an item, and then press Menu > Error Details."
Could someone please help resolve this problem.
T.I.A.
Playing shared mp3's over internet
Tried your dns.org setup on my wizard...great idea. used TCPMP core player to access dns.org site. This will let you stream any content, just add to playlist. Although due to high bitrate of content streaming over edge network not so good, wi-fi works perfect. Now, I have the reverse problem and can not download file through PIE. Could you explain your setup to download and save file?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a program which could make my multimedia files stored on a WinXP PC available on my I-mate K-jam (HTC Wizard) trhough WiFi, resizing video on the go accessing them.
Thx in advance
Have you tried orb or MS Media Encoder.
Orb works through the Internet. I'd like to use my WiFi network only.
Windows Media Encoder let you only stream contents, so it doesn't let you you choose them from the "client" device, you're stuck with the content the server is streaming at that moment.
Yes, I already tried them both before
Have you tired VLC?
There is a VLC port for wm5. See it that will work.
I recently flashed to the newest ppckitchen with the new archsoft mms and it just wont play videos mms do i need to download a codec or something i also have a xv6800 and it plays fine on there. Now it will play either the video or the sound but not both at the same time
Hi!
How do I associate the Streaming Media Client with Opera in HTC HD2? Now when I try to open streaming media in Opera it starts Windows Media Player and it doesn´t work. If I run IE and open the same streaming media file the Streaming Media Client starts and everything works fine.
