Is there a program that I can use to stream music from my computer to my 8125 using GPRS and WiFi? I would like to listen to it everywhere without buying 15 cards.
http://www.orb.com/
i have even successfully streamed audio using Orb over gprs! lucky i have free gprs!
another vote for Orb.
It makes it simple to stream music and videos to your phone.
Mercora M has performed better for me. It costs, but if you go to Microsoft.com you can get a 6 month free trial. It includes internet radio too.
I'm going to try Mercora M because Orb wasn't letting me stream over GPRS for some reason.
I get the "session not valid" message.
I'ma try Mercora M and get back to ya.
I would totally say go with Orb. If your GPRS is not letting you connect, I would suggest trying with a different Mobile Browser (for example, Opera worked for me where Pocket IE did not).
Just a thought
i love orb... dont us GPRS b/c its not free for me.. but i use wifi and I even stream TV from my ati 550 pcie tuner cards in my media server..
i love watching baseball on my 8125
I could never get Orb to go over GPRS. I'm sure it works great on Wifi. I also had trouble getting it to fidn my removable hard drive (all my music is on that). I gave up, downloaded Mecora M and it works great. It's sad that it costs money but I'm hoping someone out there will help me with that...
For wi-fi i use resco explorer to stream music and video. All i do is share my folders and network map my drives in resco. Install tcmp and it will even play divx! Music is not a problem either works a dream. Next i will look into streaming over GPRS but not sure my t-mobile connection is reliable enough.

Hi there
I was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems streaming Audio
using the SanDisk Wi-Fi SD Card. The problem I have is that it seems the data/audio stream keeps corrupting , as in the sound keeps clicking ever 3-4 seconds , I have tried this on a number of streaming sites and get the same results , I tried this on my old Ipaq 5450 and the stream is crystal clear no drops at all. The Player i am using is Gplayer which is freeware and works wells , the streaming site i am trying to connect to is
h**p://www.somafm.com ( Great music by the way ) , any help would be greatfully accepted.
Regards

This issue has been around for a while now and it happens on mine as well. It seems this is a defect present on all XDAII's.
I had the same problem when I used gsplayer, works fine with pocket music (with the feature pack, the freeware version doesn't support streaming)
O2 XDA II audio patch
Try installing this. This came from O2 U.K.
Thanks
Many thanks to all who have replied , I have now d/loaded Pocket Music and will try it out when I get home.

Hi,
I am also having the same problems. Its a similar setup ie sandisk sd wifi and wireless broadband router. I have tried installing the audio patch and tried pocket music, but it still skips. Any more ideas?

try increasing the read file cache (player options, general) I've got mine set at 2 meg, and also in player options, streaming increase the buffer , mines at 128k buffer, 25% prebuffer and 50% after underrun,
Streams fine both of pc via network share and from internet radio.
You will always get some internet staions that "drop out", but i get that on my pc as well so..........
I'm not sure if this can help improve things, but there is a free application called GB-Soft Tweak for WM2K3 Phone Edition that may fix this streaming problem.
I have not test it yet since my brand new socket SD WiFi is on it's way but it's worth a try.
It has an option that reads:
Higher priority for audio media streaming -> eliminate clicks (till after soft reset)
Good luck!

Does anyone have any experience/thoughts about using Orb with an 8125 on Cingular's network? I have been using it recently with mixed results. I am always getting network errors, or continuous buffering (even set at 40kbps, running on the EDGE Network). When it does seem to work, it works decent. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, settings, or thoughts to share.
Thanks!
I've tried using the 8125 and Orb on both EDGE and a wifi network. The results are not so good to just plain aweful. I think the problem is that the processor just falls short of being able to handle the network traffic and process the video. I can use a laptop and ORB over the same network and it performs flawlessly.
I can copy a video to a memory card and it will play just fine. But try to stream the same video over ORB and it just seems to stutter along.
I was wondering if the new 8525 would perform better at this task than the 8125. Has anyone tried that?
I tried an 8525 we have here at the store, and it seems to work a little better. I'm going to try overclocking my 8125 a bit to see if I can get any better results. I have also tried just downloading my music through orb to my memory card (using the file browser) and it gets stuck about half way through on anything over 2 mb.
Overclocked to 240MHz and still Orb sucks. Guess it just wasnt meant to be should have known when it didnt work in Opera!
it works great for me on cingular with my 8125, i am using farias wm6 that is in the rom kitchen and i use conduits pocket player and set the stream to pls
my connection i usualy around 150 to 180 using the speedtest in orb. as long as my home computer is not downloading anything i have perfect streaming of video files from my hardrive and i watched 2 hours of streaming tv the other day with no buffering.
Works great with my KJAM. I've tried movies and recorded TV, both via EDGE and Wifi. Wifi gives higher resolution, but EDGE is also fine.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, Overclocked (constantly) to 264 Mhz, using WM5 and WMP.

Thanks for the advice, seems to work a little better now. Maybe I'll buy conduits P.P.
Ok so im using wmwifirouter 0.91 and it works great and fast with my mogul with any laptop or wifi device except for my psp, has anyone had any luck with doing so, I would like to use the internet radio feature on the psp while driving in my car, the psp is updated, should I get a newer version of the wmwifirouter and where would i get it or is there a way to get it working with the older version? Please help!!!
there is no way that wmwr will support the psp unless Chainfire can magically figure out how to do acesspoint mode wifi or the psp hackers manage to code in support for adhoc based internet surfing as the psp only supports accesspoint based internet surfing at the moment
Also you may want to update to the latest version of wmwifirouter as it is sooooooooo much better than the old .91 version
so where can i get it, is it free, can you point me in the right direction?

Why not just use your device to listen to internet radio - I Use TCPMP to listen to internet radio stream and it works perfect. Just use your device to navigate to shoutcast or some other site that has various internet radio stations and then listen. I actually saved each station and even created an Icon in Ultimate Launch on my device for each station so I just have to click on my Icon for the blues station and I am listening to the blues within seconds. I stream my music from my phone to the Motorola t 505 using bluetooth which then streams the music flawlessly to my stereo using a very strong fm transmitter. That way when I get a call, the music pauses automatically and the call then comes through my car speakers as well. You will have much less clutter in your car this way too having less devices and no wires, except for power to your phone if you plug it in.
hi people
i just searched for this to see if anyone has done this
i have been watching my satelite on my xda stellar fo a few months now thought i would share how easy it is
all you need is firstly a good upload speed mine is 1.6 meg but 400-500kbs
would work
a tv card with compisite in ( signal from satelite )
audio in (audio from satelite ) rca phono lead to 3.5 jack plug earphones socket
windows media encoder if you have not got it its here
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx
if anyone is intrested i would gladly tell you the rest of it but really this is all you need
for copyright reasons i cant show you my satelite but if you want to check out my fish pond type in this url mms://www.d4rea.co.uk:2976
or on your phone its the same address but as with all of these streams to a phone you must type a /* on the end of the url
so it would be mms://www.d4rea.co.uk:2976/* and it starts streaming on your phone
ENJOY

can't we already do this with orb?
Slingbox
I do this just fine with my slingbox mobile player.

I can't. it doesn 't like my onboard TV tuner.
Seems like a great idea.
But my Upload speed is limited and slow, and my Mobile Internet too.
So...I can't do this.
Though I'm interested knowing the rest of your story
I have tried orb long long time ago, had and used a slingbox but that is why i thought i`m doing this myself
my satalite has its own web interface on so i log in to my ip anywhere to switch channels over but it then still streams through wm encoder at a much reduced bandwith i have o2 20 meg broadband home and at work so i encode wm encoder to upload 1.3mb ps and watch whatever on work pc and 300kbs upload goes to my xda stellar
I figure if anyone knows, it will be someone here ... I grabbed a new laptop (broke screen on old one) It's an HP Envy m7 ... pretty nice rig with 17.3" touch screen, i7, 12g, beats audio ... I drive a truck and listen to my Detroit Tigers games through the phone via MLB At Bat ... I am trying to figure out how to stream the audio from the phone to the laptop via Bluetooth so I can listen to the games on the HP.
I come up empty on google searches. From what I've found in Media Player, I can stream out but not in with that... I go into sound properties where it shows the available devices; speakers, microphone and the phone when paired doesn't show up as a device in there. My Dell had an external microphone jack on the side and I was able to change the properties of that to 'line in' ... then I would plug the phone headphone jack into mic jack and listen to it that way. This rig only has an internal mic, no jack.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Edit: Running Windows 8.1 BTW ....
Sounds like you should just connect your pc to your phones tethering and stream from the pc.

The MLB app is device specific and I'd have to buy a new subscription for the lappy. Yeah I know, spend nearly a grand on a lap top but don't want to spend 20 bux on a subscription sounds kind of ironic !!

@Chopstix9 are there any radio stations local to you that broadcast the game when it's on? I kno iHeartRadio and RadioPup and some other apps stream those local stations to your phone and or PC or other device for free.. May be worth a little hunt to save some $$$

Of course there is ... and I listen to that local Detroit sports talk radio station almost all day via radio.com over the net on the laptop with the phone broadcasting the net signal for connection (I'm an over the road truck driver). But even though they broadcast the games on the radio, they are not permitted to over the internet. MLB couldn't get the $$ for their mobile apps / accounts if they allowed that. When the game starts. the internet version of the radio station switches over to the CBS sports talk feed. Only way to hear the game is through MLB.com
