Heyas, anyone know if there is a way to stream live video to an external source? (ie, wirelessly to a web/stream server)
Looks like WebCamera Plus will do it. Any other solutions are welcome.
Atecsoft coolcamera available on ftp does this.

I wonder if there is any client/server program which would stream transcoded video to a mobile-friendly bitrate playback WITHOUT modify the original videos stored on the PC server.

Slingbox
The slingbox software works fine on my T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) when its attached to my home wireless network. Haven't had a chance to try it from away yet. I get perfect sound and roughly 15fps video.
Slingbox is an NTSC-only creature thus far and really isn't a server - it just encodes and streams what its getting from your satellite or cable box along with the capability of remote controlling the unit.
www.slingmedia.com has more information - I don't work for them, just a happy customer.
VLC will transcode anything to anything... Almost. It's a little fiddlier to configure than say, Orb, but it's much more flexible (imo).
I have the TyTN and would like to stream video and audio but suspect I need a program designed to do that (?) I have pocketv and tcpmp -- can someone tell me what I need to do?
Thanks!
I am using a slingbox and their wm5 player. This will allow you to watch live TV or any other video source connected to the slingbox.
the cost is about 150 for the box and 30 for the software, but it is awesome!
I can watch live tv (and able to change the channel) on the train ride home.

Hi
Also you can give ORB a try. ORB is free and it works fine for me.

The the free version at http://www.umediaserver.net/.
It's very good and with a fixed IP you can watch and change TV channels anywhere.

can u elaborate on how this exactly works and what i need to do before i go screwing up my tytn. thanks!!!
You register at www.orb.com and configure your computer with the program/webpage. Then point Pocket IE to www.orb.com and use it. It's very basic and easy, and doesn't harm your TyTN.
I tried to set up a stream on my LAN using VLC. Other computers may view and hear the stream using WMP, but Pocket WMP refuses to play it because "The parameter was not set correctly" (or something like that). Anyone know what's wrong?
With Unreal Media Server server you need a tv card in your pc.
I have an old Pinnacle RAVE TV card in my PC. I've installed Umedia server on my PC and set this up to capture and stream the tv card. I can watch decent quality TV from anywhere in the house using the free Umedia player. I also have a fixed IP address from my ISP. Having unblocked the relevant firewall port, I can also watch TV via 3G connection, albiet at reduced quality because of the lower bandwidth available.
There is a PC and Pocket PC client player available from http://www.umediaserver.net/download.html. The Pocket PC client is all that is needed on your TyTN.
This is a useful document http://www.umediaserver.net/StreamingAdvices.pdf. HTML version available at http://www.umediaserver.net/source.html.
Searched around a bit and tried countless peices of webcam software but haven't found anything quite like what I would like yet.
I have a microsoft webcam hooked to my pc. I would like to run some webcam software on my pc that makes a streaming video file that I can open from my 8525 streaming video player.
If I could stream this video file from my PC to my linux webserver and then connect to my linux webserver from a webpage or from my 8525 to stream the video that would be even better.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I use this... Trackercam. I'm able to use any browser and view the webcam at home... haven't tested it on a ppc browser but theoretically it should work as long as you have a decent connection.

Oh, and it's FREE.
There's a program called dorgem (http://dorgem.sf.net I think) that runs a webcam (so it might not be exactly what you wanted, but it might be less hassel). It doesn't exactly do streaming video, but it can upload an image via ftp or HTTP POST and refresh every few seconds if required. It can also run a local HTTP Daemon which allows you to access the image on request (using PHP or similar).
Also free, but doesn't include the base control stuff that TrackerCam's software does (although you could consider that a good thing).
look for WebCamPlus .. www.ateksoft.com
Orb does the job, leave it running on your PC and with Version 2.0 you can view webcams hooked up to the PC.

Is it possible to stream videos/images/music from your PC to your diamond in a similar way the Xbox 360 does.
The Xbox uses the windows shared folders to pass data over the WI-FI network connection. It would be great to sit in an other room in the house and listen to my full MP3 libary on my PC through my diamond.
Is this possible? I have searched the forum and haven't seen anything else like this, sorry if I missed it.
Thanks.
you can try the new 'Orb 2.0' or the 'WinAmp Remote' programs and they wrok fine, you have to sign on thru the website, and you;; be able to access it that way, i tried it but it was sorta choppy and slow.... If anyone knows a better way to do so, please let me know. I have a HP Media Vault and would love to know if anyone knows a way to stream directly from there, and not have to bypass it thru my PC. Any help would be appreciated. Hope that helps, OP!!!!
yeah, you can do it with coreplayer
Orb's good, I stream video and audio through it, works well
Orb + codecs installed = Fluent video, no lag
how did you make it to play the videos with orb?
my opera browser always quits working when i try to play a video from orb...
I use HTC Network Tool to access my shared files from my computer on my phone over WIFI Network and then use tcpmp to listen to music, watch video's, view photo's, read documents.... works pretty good for me on HTC Touch Elfin
Im hoping to create an app that allows 2 phones to stream video to each other, much like Qik, but it will have a completely different purpose. How would one go about streaming? Could I do it with a server on both phones and do it directly between the phones only or would i need a server online? Could I just have video files uploaded as they are recorded and downloaded by the other phone while still being uploaded, or would I need some type or proprietary server to allow for video streaming? Anything else I should know about to help me get started?
Thanks in advanced.
Bump. Any ideas on video streaming?
