Hi!
Im currently searching for this application:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2ZflgE4kXs
Its a program that lets you recive Dreambox restreams from a computer, i think its name is Mobile Grab Client but i can't find it anywhere. And iam not searching for TCPMP.
I will give 10$ to the person that first writes me a working link or something where i can find THIS application and its server. Payment will be done with Paypal.
The reason for posting this in this forum is because i have a smal memmory of reading about it here first.

I already know that, as said iam not searching for TCPMP. The app iam searching for is The Mobile Grab client!
so it's an application which selects the correct url and opens it up on TCPMP.
where do we find it ?
anyone interesed ?
i know this post will be deleted & i will most likely be called an idiot but it your trying to broadcast your television from home and tune it on on your mobile device....then you can use www.slingbox.com
nobody will call you idiot, but it is not a good way to do it.
if we have capability of directly connecting and streaming why put another node ?
so nobody has this little piece of software ?
Why buy a slingbox when the Dreambox seems to be capable of doing it itself? Any way, long time has passed and my quesion still is, does any one know how to get this software?
yep. still waiting...
Closest thing i could find...

From what i've seen with this app, it does what you want it to do.
Since it's opensource and written in PHP, i think it can be modified to contain pre-selected settings just for PDA viewing.
Btw, i think you can forget about just a single program without a middleman doing the transcoding, since the Dreambox is incapable of transcoding its stream.
What the Youtube video could be is a website showing links to all the channels, and by clicking on them it launches TCPMP with the stream.
moullas,
you are wrong. why ? because Dreambox uses mpeg2 streaming which is the easisest codec to decode for any client type. That's why a middleman is not required.
And if we had the VLC player for ppc, we could watch directly Dreambox channels.
Here is the VLC player for PPC
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1545
unfortunately it does not run on Hermes (as far as I remember)
that's why I tried to compile it from source a while ago but I couldn't succeed.
if it runs well on anyone's wm6 device , please let us know.

What do you want VLC to do that TCPMP or CorePlayer cannot?
Well that restreamer seems to be okay, but its not as simple as that application that he uses. Maby i should try it... The problem for me isnt that it need to be compressed true another computer but that i need the simplicity from the application, cklick and play!
I am trying to restream some online windows formatted video streams to my G1 using VLC.
I have tried to get this working myself, with the help of google.
But I just can't get it working.
This should work... in theory:
cvlc -vvv "<url>" --sout '#transcode{soverlay,ab=42,samplerate=44100,channels=1,acodec=mp4a,vcodec=h264,width=328,height=288,fps=15,vb=200,venc=x264{vbv-bufsize=500,partitions=all,level=12,no-cabac,subme=7,threads=4,ref=2,mixed-refs=1,bframes=0,min-keyint=1,keyint=50,trellis=2,direct=auto,qcomp=0.0,qpmax=51}}:gather:rtp{mp4a-latm,sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:8000/news.sdp}'
I have alswo tried streaming over http: std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=0.0.0.0:8000}'
Whenever I try, Meridian just says "sorry, this video cannot be played."
This is the output from logcat:

honestly i just use ORB. It streams and converts the video(files, music, pictures, etc) on the fly to your phone. It is about as easy as it gets.

orb is pretty terrible in that it is restricted to windonkey on the server side. VLC is open source and probably the #1 media server/player for *nix, though also works for the donkey.
@DarkFoxDK: have you been able to transcode a static file for playback using VLC? I haven't tried with VLC yet (just mencoder). That is definitely a first step, to make sure that the encoding you are using is proper for the device. When you have that working, then try with the streaming. Is meridian even capable of receiving streaming video? I suppose that the best approach would be to develop a VLC-port for android.

Windows is just not an option... besides, I don't want to rely on a 3rd party service.

I haven't actually tried that yet, I'll do that as soon as I have the time.
Meridian is using the video view-thing in android like all the other apps, so yes. (Also, there's an "Open URL" option, with rtsp:// in it as default).
Yes, the mobile equivalent of VLC is CorePlayer and they're working on it: http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1327. I'ts pay-for but it'll play pretty much anything you throw at it (within limits).
Yes, it does indeed play with no problems, when I save it to a file.
Using std{access=file,dst=/home/martin/test.mp4}
I really have no clue where to go from here.
I had a similar adventure trying to get VLC streaming working a few months back. I pretty much got to the same spot you are. I then found that what Android supports is RTSP, not RTP streams (or at least that is how I interpreted it). From how I understood it RTSP is basically just a control channel for delivering RTP and other streams. Luckily VLC has VLM which is supposed to do RTSP stream management. You get to it in vlc->tools->VLM Configuration. I played around with that for a few hours, but never got it actually streaming. I got discouraged when I found someone reporting that RTSP was broken in the current 1.0 android build, but I never went back and tried again with cupcake. This is all from memory so might not be totally accurate. If you do figure it out, please post! If I get to hacking on it again I will do the same.
I almost got this working...
I set up Darwin Streaming Server and the sample files work (except for the h264 ones..).
But I just can't get VLC working...
According to this thread it seems to be a problem/bug with VLC: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=58616
did any of u guys try that feature in gmote ?? it has an otion of playback into phone..i tried with a mp3 file but it took me ages to buffer a 3mb file tho...

It doesn't work outside your own LAN, so it doesn't really work for that purpose..
GMote will stream over 3G, just follow the steps in its FAQ to forward ports and you're all set.

Ok, But can it take a live video stream and transcode it to a digestible format for the G1?
Anyways, I got restreaming working with these settings
Code:
vlc rtsp://streamer-01.dr.nordija.dk/dr1lowmp4 -I dummy --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{no-cabac,level=12,vbv-maxrate=384,vbv-bufsize=1000,keyint=75,ref=3,bframes=0},width=320,height=180,acodec=mp4a,ab=64,vb=384}:rtp{dst=0.0.0.0,port=1234,sdp=file:///usr/local/movies/t.sdp,mp4a-latm}"

Can you please give more specifics on this? I am desperately trying to get the output from my Linksys WVC54GCA visible on my HTC Hero and I think this may be the key. The cam already outputs RTSP stream which I can view in VLC but Android players won't open it.
I assume that I could just substitute my source video for the one you're using, but then how would I view this on my device? Is there a specific URL I would use? (Note: my device, camera, and VLC are all on the same LAN)
Thanks for your help, I've been pulling my hair out over this, I'm pretty handy with a Linux shell but am not very knowledgeable about this streaming stuff.
OK, I figured out the last bit. I just need to replace the sdp= part with an rtsp:// URL, and then that's the URL I send to Meridian Player or Doga Player on my Android device. So the full vlc command is:
Code:
vlc -v http://<CAMERA_IP>/img/video.asf -I dummy --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{no-cabac,level=12,vbv-maxrate=384,vbv-bufsize=1000,keyint=75,ref=3,bframes=0},width=320,height=180,acodec=none,ab=64,vb=384}:rtp{dst=,port=1234,sdp=rtsp://<COMPUTER_IP>:1234/stream.sdp,mp4a-latm}"
So then in Android I open the rtsp://<COMPUTER_IP>:1234/stream.sdp URL, which I assume is not the real data stream but rather is just info on how to open the video and audio streams.
It still doesn't look great but at least it's working, I'll mess around with the rest of the settings to try to get it to look decent (I'm guessing the closer I can get it to the original stream the better it will look).
Thanks for posting this, once I get it all working the way I want I'll post the final solution I came up with...
Happy streamer
I've been streaming media files and live satellite feeds with VLC to all my mobile devices for several years.
I just want to share my settings with you guys so you could try out what i've been happy with for many years.
I'm using VLC 0.8.6i and have all the settings in a m3u file. For media files replace the <media> with what you would like to stream.
The settings gives good quality stream and work great for streaming on a 3G and HSDPA network.
Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode{vcodec=div3,vb=650,width=400,height=240,acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=2,fps=25.0,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:88}} :sout-all
<media>
This m3u file can be used for streaming all types of media just replace <media> with what ever you like to stream.
Happy streaming.

hy bulldog64!
thx for that input - but i do not quite get it - do you http-serve the m3u file to the android-device via apache or do you just launch it on the server? when i execute your m3u-file it plays my video, but vlc outputs:"cant find file.."<your code>". how is it supposed to be set up? whats the url to call on the android-broswer (<ip>:88/<??which file>) ? thanks a lot! i have been trying to stream localy (from localhost to localhost) for some hours, but vlc´s syntax is too much for me, and after all i dont know the basics of streaming..
tinyDVR app works

Was hoping for a update here for a while. Looked all over for a solution... And just tonight found one!
TinyDVR (free via market)!
All other apps failed miserably. (At least with the WVC54GCA linksys cams) Even that 'IP cam viewer - lite' app failed. (i wasnt willing to shell out 10 bucks for the pro.)
Anyway! Yay
i found this to work locally:
Code:
vlc <path-to-video-file> :sout=#transcode {vcodec=h264,vb=256,width=320,height=280,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=64,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8085}} :sout-all
but now, which (free) client on android can open streams ?? got a galaxy and the browser wont launch the player.
You can use Dogaplayer to get the stream.
Do you have the option with the M3U file of Bulldog64 working?
I have the same problem:
VLC plays the file, but doesn't stream anything if I start the M3U on my server.
For me it would be great to get it working!
I have made a M3U file with a playlist of all my DVB-T TV card channels.
So when it's possible to get the stream code working in the M3U file , I can watch and zap TV on my mobile.
hy
no dogaplayer wont access 3g on my galaxy s - "cant play video"- i got no network activity, so i assume it has trouble getting out to the network. so far i have found "vlc stream&convert" an app that can remote control vlc, browse directories and start streming and play the stream. on my galaxy s it starts streaming (network activity, vlc log file shows start) bit it doesnt show any video or audio.
Try TCP port 554 for streaming and open your dynamic UDP ports (I think all > 41000)in your router. This works for me. I use Vodafone as a provider and they only allow rtsp video streams over TCP port 554. Music (mp3) streams is also possible over http.
Have you any results with M3U playfiles?
I use VLC Stream & Convert too, but if I select the M3U playlist file and start VLC web interface on my PC server, I see in Stream & Convert all information about the actual playlist file, but I receive no video and sound signal. Other video files (such as MPG, MP4) works OK, so it is not a settings problem. I don't have a credit card, so I don't know if you have to have the Pro version for this. Can anyone tell me?
This is also the reason I want the M3U file to contain streaming & convert settings, so I can view the stream with Dogaplayer, so without the use the app. Stream & Convert.
