BBC Radio 1 on Magician

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.

Problem with 3G video

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.

It keeps trying to connect without having any internet activity on my 3g account (monitored from spb wireless)
Anyone ???? Any suggestions ????
PS1. When I try to connect with my lan ip (http://192.168.1.24/asf/video.asf) anything works fine.
PS2. My port fordwarding is ok, as I can watch it nicely from my work-pc.

Associate streaming media client with Opera

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.

Streaming Media From PC To The Nexus 4?

I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for hence the new post.
Basically I want to be able to stream my media to my phone from my home PC. Also I want the ability to stream media over the internet via my cellular data connection too when required. Similar stuff to what Air Video does on iPhone.
One of you recommended me ES File Explorer but this relies on a static IP address for my computer serving the media which I don't want to set up.
Any way of doing it using the computer name?

Have you tried Plex ??
No Static IP, or Computer Name Required...
You install the Plex Server on your Computer (Make sure you download the SERVER, and not the Media Center)
Install, tell the Server where to find you files (Music and/or Videos) and it will start loggin them all (even download posters/album art)
Then you install the Plex Android app on your phone (This Cost a few $ via the Play Store)
Sign up for a Free myPlex account, then Sign into it via the Plex Server, and the Android App... then all of your media is available locally or over the internet...
Plex will even stream to a PS3 (or any DLNA enabled Device)
The few $ for the Android App is work it. Plex works way better than most of the free alternatives (I think there are like 2) and Plex also Transcodes videos so you don't have to worry about format problems..
Although I use DicePlayer so it handles pretty much all videos

No... not without some service for dynamic DNS management.
How often is your ip address changed by your provider? Mine rarely changes and I simply have Tasker check it every time I leave the house and stuff the value into a global. Of course, if you are on the road for long periods of time when your ip might be changed... that won't help. If this is your case you will need a server side process like the aforementioned Plex, or more simply, an account with a service like DynDNS.org. I prefer the latter as I want more access to my server (VNC, full file access, and connection to a home built http server for home automation) than Plex would allow.
You could also cron a shell script to get the current address periodically and send you a message if it changes, of course you would have to manually set the ip in ES File Explorer (or other client) when that address changes. In my case, it simply does not happen often enough for me to need set up any of this.

Try ghostcommander. You can just enter your computer name login and password. Easy peasy.

That's on a LAN, right?

Qloud is one of the best apps I've used for streaming video and music. The music player could be better but the video player can play any file format and it is an awesome app. Check it out in the play store they have a free version so you can test it out before you buy.

I've tried Qloud already but had no luck with getting it to work.
Plex sounds pretty good actually. I just want to try before I buy it though.
