I've read there are some way to stream video to ppc.
Who can guide me to the best solution?
Orb?
VCL?
and what client?
tcpmp?
media player?
I would like an easy and free solution.
tcpmp is the best choice u can ever find.
encode use DivX.I suggest u try a software named Movie2Memcard.
WOW,if you got Need for Speed,that software is yr most wanted.
If he say streaming, I guess he is asking opening the media thru the network.
Here is what I did using Apache Web Server (or whatever web service) and TCPMP:
1. Install any web server and place the music or video under the root (or it's sub-directry)
2. In TCPMP, add playlist. enter "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where thouse xxx are the IP or URL.
It works for me even doing it wirelessly thru bluetooth activesync (should work better under wifi). The only problem is TCPMP still having a bug in reading file or directry name for double bytes charecters. So, my songs in Chinese file name cannot be read. I filed a bug and waiting for a fix.....
Ah, forget to mention. Above menthod is not real streaming but opening the media over network
U can use Windows Media Encoder (free d/l from MS) to act as stream server. Then U have full control of bitrate over the streaming server. I don't like this method since the streaming server control what is playing. Not the client (yr PDA). But this is good for broadcasting TV program from yr PC or webcam.

Hey man, you saved my life!!! I've spent months trying to open a movie stored on PC through Blue-crap. I've tried every streaming server available (apple's, real's, microsoft's) without ever succeeding. I tried every program i was able to find for both my old P900 and my Magician, but nothing. And, today, i read your post and i realize how simple it is!!! I cannot believe i was so dumb!!! You're great man, my hero!!!
Thanks A LOT!!!
Bye
Just an update. The latest version can play filename or directry name w/ double bytes characters (eg: Asian character).

I have recently purchased an o2 xda mini s, and have been browsing through this site for about a week. been very impressed. i have a question for you - is there anyway of accessing my computer through the wireless lan? EG accessing the computer hard drive, and playing a film on the xda. thanks ben
Yes there is but I'm not sure how to do it on a "Vanilla" WM5 machine. I use Resco Explorer which is a commercial application but allows you to move the "Network" folder below "My Device" and connect to shared drives. These shared drives over the network (GPRS / WiFi / USB Active Sync etc) will then show up in ANY program which has a file browser.
I'm sure there is a way of doing it on a plain machine but Resco Explorer is so much easier and nicer for any kind of file manipulation....
nice one, im looking into it now
ok iv got resco, and im connected. i can see the network places, and i can acess my shared folder, but when i try to open a music file, media player opens and says the parameter is incorrect? anyone know what this means?!
You're right you know!
This is the only app on my device that has this problem (Well no surprises there seeing as it's MS s/w!)
I am using both Pocket Music and TCPMP (Free!) for video / music (TCPMP does both) and neither have that problem over the network.
Also try MortPlayer as that is another excellent skinnable player for FREE....
TCMP will access shared folders/files. Or should that be \\computer\shared_folder\media.files It works pretty well over wifi for me. If you are happy to create your playlist on your pc and stream to the PocketPC then Microsoft media encoder will do the job. I'm just looking into Orb www.orb.com which should allow me to view/listen to my media anywhere I have access to the internet on my Wizard.
Hope this helps,

thats great, got tcpmp running really smooth, even without cutting the resolutions down. im very impressed. is there a way to make tcpmp the default application? iv always had symbian phones uptil now-which are considerably more stable, but not quite as manipulative iv noticed.
one other thing, is i had a prog for my symbian device that put my desktop up on the screen and gave me total control of the pc with it, do u kno of another app that will do this on ppc? thanks so much!

Did some searching and found this older thread.
Basically, I was wondering if any body knows of a free prog, or reg hack, to make the network folder visible and then allow mapping the network drive?
I found an older prog caller NetRunner, from a Spanish site. It works on my older wm2003 devices (though it always asks for my pass work even if I tell it to save it) And it will work on my MDA, but I can only access the network drive through net runner. It won't show up in file explorer.
So any ideas? Thanks
Ok, Never mind.... I feel sheepish!
I have GSfinder installed and it allows you to show the network folder and to map the drive................
One question about it though- even time I soft power down the phone and turn it back on and try to browse my network drive it keeps asking for my password. Even if I tell it to save it..any way to fix this?
Thanks

This usually means that the music file type is not supported by windows media player. ie: asx,m3u,etc. In file explorer, does the music file you're trying to play have the wmp icon, or some other player icon beside it?
Hi can anyone help me!
I want to stream video and audio from my pc to my s200. I Have got TCPMP, but i do not know how to create a connection to my computer so i am able to see files on it. Can anyone help me please?
Thanks
hi
yuo need Resco Explorer 2005

My Network --> map drive --> "Shared Folder on your PC " --> share
P.S. folder sharing must be enabled on your PC
cheers for the advice, but that program seemed to crash my unit alot and when i tried removing it, the "remove programs" function would not work so i had to do a hard reset. Also i had to make my d: drive shared on my network which means other people can view it which i dont want and also once i got the videos playing they would stop evey 5 seconds or so to load.
Can you suggest any other ways!

The videos will be stopping (buffering) every 5 secs because either your vids are too big and not compressed enough, or, you wifi network is too slow (802b). I am running my S200 exactly as Duri suggests above and it works fine. As far as I'm aware you have to have a shared folder on your pc otherwise there is no way to access the files on your pc. If Resco is not working for you then there are a few other similar applications that achieve the same. I can't remember them off the top of my head (perhaps someone else can 8) ) but a quick search should come up trumps!
Resco File Explorer crashed alot for me too, and wouldn't uninstall either. I am recovering from a hard boot, and discovering sprite backup (or any other backup method) isnt too helpful. Try Orb. It works great for me. WiFi or EDGE. www.orb.com
Not sure how secure it is, but it works well!
You can try Pocket Lan.
You aint need nothing. Just make network(say WIFI or luettoth with your PC and check for the ip addresses to reside under same subnet mask, and voila - in yout TCPMP in the pathway write \\{YOUR PC NAME}. Of course, replace {YOUR PC NAME} with your PC name(you've given one when you installed windows, viewable under System properties tab in control panel of windows xp) and, as long as you have folders shared on your PC, TCPMP will see them. Bingo! :lol:

Hi,
I'm trying this for audio streaming (.mp3) with an Asus WL-HDD as source, it's 802g so should be fast enough, however I get a buffering pause every few seconds.
Resco Explorer works fine, but is there a player that would do the buffering and then play without interruptions?
Windows Media Player doesn't like the network files, gives me errors like "Wrong Parameter"
Thanks

Does anyone have an application or a link to an application that can be used to control my PC using wifi?
I have a wireless network at home and both my PC and ppc (HTC Touch) connect to the network through a wireless router.
Thanx!
you can use the build in program called therminal services in your pocketpc
or you can use some free VNC software there are plenty of options
Also there is LogMeIn.
Google can give you many more answerers.
Control PC with PPC
I use salling clicker http://www.salling.com/. i use it with wmp mce and itunes, i have played with it as a mouse pointer and there is lots of other scripts out there too. i bought it and its great. it works on wifi and bluetooth
Teriminal service. wireless router with port forwarded to your PC (read about port forwarding and DMZ settings on router) and allow to log in with blank passwords on xp adminsitrative tool
Thanks for the responses so far!
I don't have any terminal applications on my phone at the moment. Will see if I can get hold of VNC and will also have a look at Salling.
Any other sw out there that has remote functionality?
use realVNC 4.3 from realvnc.com.
WM6 remote destop is the best in my opinion. It doesn't support file transfer but its bloody good for controlling your PC. I haven't found anything better.

Hello guys, new to the forum, and new to Windows Mobile, so please be gentle!
I have a networked hard-disk in the house with about 20GB of media on it, and I was hoping that there would be a way for me to map the drive within Windows Mobile, when connected over WiFi.
Doesn't seem to have worked. I managed to browse the drive using Total Commander (which is one stop further than I ever got on my N95), but when I try and launch an mp3, I get an error in WMP. I suppose I could use TotalCommander to sideload the files onto the X1, but it kind of defeats the purpose of having the central-drive then.
Anyone got any ideas? Are there any media players which can play networked files over WiFi? Are there any clever network settings or tweaks which I am missing?
As a random aside, has anyone managed to do anything clever between the X1 and the Playstation 3? E.g. media streaming, or even better, using the X1 as a blu-ray \ media remote for the PS3?
I had hoped seeing as how they were both Sony that there would be some clever convergance. Or am I being rediculously optimistic?
Try core player..
It's the best. I play movies from my NAS navigating with Total Commander..
Not quite the same, but I've been using Orb to stream to my X1, that uses your internet connection if you want, and gives you access anywhere, not just at home.

Thanks for the tip.
Just to be sure... you navigate using TotalCommander, and open the file in Core Player and it plays across the network? This would be exactly what I was looking for.
Shame there is no demo of Core Player to try it out. :-(
get Conduit Pocket Player, and stream the media files via UPNP.
- Core Player really works. I use it too.
- Pocket Player is ok too, but it doesn't support XviD, DivX etc.
I am using Total Commander but cannot find how to map/access netwroked drives. How to do it?
I have 6 500 GB hard networked drives (yes total of 6 TB) of media files which I can access on networked laptops and stand alone media players. It will be very good if I can access them from my Xperia as well.
I was wondering how you see the files with total commander as well?
Via the LAN plugin.
For me on my home network I just entered the machine name and up popped the shared folders.
Video files didn't stream fast enough though for me, but a nice way to move files from phone to PC without cables.
Still cannot find it. I am connected to the my home network and can access the internet and get e-mails on the X1. But cannot see the shared drives on my desktop!
I looked for the LAN plugin but could not find it.
FOUND it, but I can see only some and not all shared drives. That is a start!

Load Total Commander. Get to the root of the phone \
Here in the directory view you should have at the top \\Plugins
Open this "folder" and inside you should have LAN, open this "folder" and you should be able to do a _Quick open here just enter the machine name, you'll be prompted for a username and password (leave blank if not required) and the shared directories should be visible.
I follow that through and can see the music on the network drive. But when I click on a song to play it, Windows Media Player returns with an error:
"Incorrect Parameter"
I assume Total Commander is passing the path of the file as a command line parameter into WMP, but this is incapable of seeing the network drive, therefore can't resolve the path.

Does either Core or Pocket Player work with a DLNA server such as TVersity? I seem to recall DLNA support being mentioned for the X1 around the time it was announced last year.
I too would be interested to see if Sony comes up with a way to interface the X1 with the PS3, possibly using Remote Play a'la the PSP.

Pocket Player has DLNA support the last I know (UPnP).
Coreplayer is supposed to have the support but I think the developers had push out the timeline to have this support. Or maybe they have already includd in their latest version and I'm not aware of.

I managed to launch a song into WMP successfully yesterday, when I took a look at the properties the file location was
\\megadrive\my documents\my music\album\track.mp3
Does it have a limit on the size of the shared drives?
I can see drives of 60 GB and play video and music but not the 500 GB drives!
Any ideas?
Wouldn't have thought so. It's reading my 250gb
