hi
can anyone play this file with real player ppc?
http://www.radio.rai.it/live/radio1.ram
on pc, it plays
on ppc (xda/mdaII) no
why? thanks!!
official link:
http://www.realnetworks.com/industries/mobile/operators/products/player/ppc/
Its a stream from the net so it should work.. but listening to the radio via the net on your PPC would probably run up some hefty GPRS bills.
Its in .ram format, so it should work fine as long as your GPRS is connected.
thanks for your reply
the rai link provided it's only a 33kbit audio file
the following file is only 20kbit:
http://www.radio.rai.it/live/radio1.ram
when opening a ram or rm file it always tell me:
"Response or data from server timed out"
i've search a solution on this page, but without success:
http://service.real.com/help/player/realone/pocketpc/realone.html#troubleshootingyourro
thanks for any help! ;-P
I've tried many times and many links to listend and see streamed media via Real One,also with newer version.
Only 2 of 25 i've tried worked.
In fact,I don't know why they do not work.
Saluti
thank you ;-P
is your error alway the same?
thanks!
i think it depens from the pocket pc version
on real site they always write "ppc 2002)...
any other suggest?
can anyone help me please?
this page works on pc:
http://www.realnetworks.com/mobile/pocketpc/usa/entertainment_movies.html
but on my xda/mdaII not
the error is always the same:
"Response or data from server timed out"
on the official real player web site they invite customers to try their page!
http://service.real.com/test
but NO demo play with windows mobile 2003...
how it's possibile that REAL didn't try it's most famous software on the last windows mobile?
uhm...
I contacted Real about this a while ago, and they seem pretty clueless.
As you mentioned, none of their test files work, yet their response seemed to deny any problem on their end, to the effect of saying "some streams may not be compatible, contact the source of the stream".
Just plain useless if you ask me.
Now if only Radio4's listen again site did windows media (which works, er, 40% of the time)...
Incidentally, did you know Auntie Beeb is planning on a video service for their TV programmes? High quality 320x240 optimised encodings of their past week's programmes (ideal for PocketPC, in fact they've given a lot of PPC devices to their staff to test). Could be fantastic.
thanks for your reply
any other suggest?
how it's possible that no one have my problem?
real player really doesn't work on windows mobile 2003?
it' a big BUG!!!
It could be 2 things afaik
1 realplayer doesn't like nat. It needs to open aa connection back to the mobile device to send the data. The device opens a control channel, and the streaming server opens a streaming data connection. Why does it work on the pc? either the pc has a non natted public ip address, or the player falls back to streaming via the control channel, this isn't happening on the ppc player.
2 ppc realplayer doesn't like http streams and only supports rtsp streams
thank you for yout technical reply
i can only reply on point 2:
the links provided (rai) directyl redirect to rtsp streams files
if you watch the clip info during the first loading, real player ppc show the correct rstp location
i'll try with ppc2002
last year it worked with wifi connection
always seems ok (configuration & requirements):
http://www.expressresponse.com/cgi-...st_name=&last_name=&email_address=&telephone=
http://www.expressresponse.com/cgi-...cument&search_input=JSS_0019.html&session_id=[[session_id]]
but it doesn't work
damn real! :twisted:
i've compliled a support form on real web site, let's wait for their reply..
Its got to be a problem with REAL, as every stream ive tried in windows media player always seems to work.
I didnt manage to get any of those test streams to work.
yes!
with microsoft media player almost all files play in streaming!
Just found buried in O2's website:
Question 5:
Can I use Realplayer with Xda?
Answer:
Yes - all content stored on Xda will be usable. You are not able to stream Real content using O2 MobileWeb at this time.

So I guess they block the necessary ports. No idea why they would want to, but it's their network after all.
Not a specific Wizard Program, but thats the phone i tired this on and its cool.
I saw the article on another website (coolsmartphone.com) and though, hmmm sounds good, but i bet it ends up being rubbish. So i downloaded the software, installed it on my computer, set up and account and then went to the URL provided by the software.
Had a quick look around, and within 2 minites was streaming BBC News 24 direct to my phone... FULL SCREEN
This software does everything it says and does it well, i would recommend it to anyone.
So now i will be recording my TV on my pc and streaming it to where ever i can get on a wireless netowrk, mostly at work, hehe
Hope you all enjoy this, i know i will be.

Note that if you have a TV tuner on your computer, you can also stream live TV. And Tivo users can stream saved shows. Not to mention photos and music. It automatically adjust to your bandwidth. Whether watching at work (breaks only) or on my Wizard.
For steaming live TV u must live in the US. It doesn't know any other channels/listings.
It can also stream MCE recorded TV and of course stream audio. I needed to use TCPMP however since WMP10 keeps skipping to the next song in a playlist after 20 seconds.
Best part of it all: it re-encodes your audio/video base on the bandwidth your using at the moment. So even streaming through GPRS works, although the quality ain't that good of course.
Great program. Wouldn't wanna live without it
Cheers,

wrong u can live wher ever u want to us strem tv. u onley ned to donwload uk version off orb the it works im using orb to my Qtek 9000/9100 and Axim X51V

it works doesn't it? , framerate is ok, buffering fast/limited, installed on home PC works ok
love the webcam option [allows me to look into my study. while at work/on the road]
Actually, it doesn't. I was unable to stream media for some reason port 80 was inaccessable. I don't run skype and I made a firewall rule to allow incoming and outgoing TCP/UDP for port 80. No go.
Regardless, it did slow down my 3.2ghz laptop with 1GB RAM.

Try moving it to port 8080. My cable provider blocks port 80, claiming that they do it to protect us from codered.

Gold star for you, sir! Here's my additions, the CNN Pipeline feeds (the first of which is usually CNN International on a live stream):

http://dynamic.cnn.com/video/meta/live/stream.4.large.asx?nsfg=&CNNid=
At this point I'd just like to point out that I just tried to load these streams up on my device via my wifi connection, and WMP won't accept the first stream (just goes round and round 'connecting' and eventually times out, and TCPMP errors back and can't play any items in the playlist) - think this is because of the way that the player is assigned an authorisation access code which is appended to the stream name in an odd way AFTER the browser initially does an http get to the stream URL. Tried stripping it back down to its plain reflector URL, but got an Access Denied in WMP, but I'll keep on trying to figure it out. The streams work fine on my PC, but of course they were designed to be played back on a PC (with more advanced WMP support).
The streams are ~360kbps, but will go lower I think. Enjoy while they're available, don't know how much longer they'll last as publicly-accessible...

So the CNN Pipeline ones work for you? Interesting, I couldn't get them to work on my Vario 2... How do you have your device set up software-wise?
only have a vario 1 , and was via wifi, just clicked the link and it opens in wmp 10
CNN pipeline worked on my Vario II, then a day later it did not work and it gave me an error message.
Dont know why, although I know CNN Pipeline is a subscription-based service - they may have problems with it, which is why I managed one day to get free access to it, while access was declined the following day.
Have a look at this wikipedia entry for details of each feed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnn_pipeline
I know that when you access the initial URL it authenticates your IP for access to the stream, then forwards you to the mms reflector URL to actually load the content... I couldn't get WMP10 to properly access the first stream to get authenticated, and TCPMP wouldn't do it either.
It plays on my PC fine, so I know it's an authentication issue. Quite annoying cause I like the pipeline feeds
what's the difference betgween http:// and mms: ?
Is it best to use a mms link directly, or instead to go through the http:// first?
MMS = multimedia streaming protocol, it's true realtime streaming. HTTP is hypertext transfer protocol, the way that computers talk to web servers, the agreed standard if you will (http contains a big list of common codes which describe the status of a connection or request, such as HTTP 200 OK for a valid request, HTTP 404 Not Found for an attempt to access a nonexistent resource, HTTP 403 Forbidden... that's obvious, HTTP 500 Internal Server Error (usually seen if a PHP, SQL or CGI script is incorrectly configured on the server). it's been added to since it was first invented, and various programs can now pseudo-'stream' files are they're downloaded - but you can't stream in realtime over HTTP properly, it's always a fudge as there has to be a static file hosted somewhere for the transfer to begin. Therefore, most streaming servers (like the CNN ones) host the .asx (playlist) files on an http server, and if you download .asx file and drag it into Notepad, you'll see the links to the mms server, along with a reflector port and other information necessary to authenticate the client for access (used most for authenticated services or limited access streams). HTTP will be used as a fallback, but in most cases MMS (or TCP RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol)) will be used, as it's the best solution for streaming media in realtime.
Using ORB from www.orb.com you can watch and listen to all stuff you have on your home PC.
Now THERE's a thought - I had it installed about a year ago but didn't have free Internet then! Oh MAN... I could watch all my films on the go... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Personally I'm waiting for the Slingbox Pro to come over to the UK, I know my housemate's getting one but I may well end up getting one myself too, hah.
I have used orb on pocket pc since i got my wizard - now with the hermes it has the extra 3G option. which is a whole new expierence.
Bump as this thread is useful. Posting this via my Vario 2
I'd be interested to see what T-Mobile have to say about this... since according to their Web 'n' Walk fair usage policy.....
Fair use policy applies. To ensure a high quality of service for all our customers, the web 'n' walk service is not to be used for other activities such as (but not limited to): modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video downloads and internet based telephony.

Orb and Digital TV Streaming
To those of you who use Orb, what TV tuner card have you got to get live digital tv streming over Orb?
i've been using Orb and it's a great piece of software, but I suppose the real benefit of Orb is to stream live digiotal TV that does not normally stream over the web (as you can stream live tv over the web on the Vario II with 3G/HSDPA without Orb).
I understand only a handful of TV tuner hardware are compatible with Orb. Which one do you use? How well do they work? How much have you spent?
thanks

What is MEdia net VOD
Hello all,
I have a small computer store and I have connected 2 TrendNet IP cameras to my network to monitor my store and record all activity with their sowftware. Also them being an IP cams any computer in network can open their IP addresses and watch what is happening in the store over Internet Explorer or other browsers on a PC ...
Is there some program for my HTC Touch HD to monitor those cams? Or am i missing something I need to install to be able to see through Internet Explorer or Opera on my HTC Phone. In my previous phone (HTC TyTn) i could only see still image from camera, but not video. Blackstone won't even show still image.
Both cameras support MS ActiveX and one camera can also show video through java, video is coded in MPEG4 format.
Thanks in advance...
I would like to know a solution to this as well. I have the Panasonic netcams and have the same problem. My wife has the iphone and can view movement on the cams full screen via safari.
interesting....

have you tried "my orb" http://www.orb.com/
Try to find out direct url to the mpeg4-stream, then just open windows media player, go library, menu -> open URL
If u manage to play the mpeg4-stream with ur computer, click over the video windows -> properties, there u should see the url from where windows media player is playing the stream. The url could be something "rtsp://..." or "mms://..."

webcamXP Mobile HD v2.1.3
This new version has been particulary optimized for HTC Touch HD.
Try Yawcam
I had a little dabble with streaming a web cam to the internet and the best program I came across was a free program called YAWCAM (Yet Another Webcam Software!).
http://www.yawcam.com/
I haven't used it recently, but it is simple to use and I successfully streamed images of our home to my Orange SPV E650 (this too was an HTC smart phone, but rebranded for Orange in the UK).
I reckon on the HD the results should be pretty good. A the time I was using it for monitoring our newly installed cat flap (CATCAM!) to make sure both of our cats were actually using it (one still refuses to ) .
I think if you used this in conjunction with remote desktop, VNC or the like, you should then be able to control the camera too.
Hope this helps...

Like L4z3r said, I would check out this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513988
There is no need for a computer to be on and attached if the camera supports JPEG or MJPEG. It allows you to have one free IP camera so you can also test to make sure it works for you.
mmdirk, the app supports PTZ on Panasonic (for cameras that have PTZ capabilities), you can actually control the camera with the touch of a finger. Hope this works for you.
WebcamXP Mobile HD does the job
Hi, I'm using Webcam Mobile HD (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492081) with my IP camera Y-Cam Knight and it works like a treat. Best via 3G or WiFi but 1 pic every 10sec even via GPRS. The software also has full-screen and landscape modes to make use of the large display. Highly recommended!
I was wondering is there any aplication/concept for aplication that makes PC work as a "cloud" or stream video feed to my mobile phone via WLAN ?
I googled and did quick forun search and could only find aplications that allow you to control your PC, not see video feed.
This could be realy cool App, especialy since Onlive doesnt support some of the older (and free) games and isnt even available in every country.
CrazyRemote is able to control the PC at a very high framerate, which allows watching videos and even playing games remotely. If that's not what you're looking for, look for an app to stream from VLC

Wow, thats what i was looking for
Now i need to figure out is there a way to use Xplay controls (touch pads too)
If not, well thats too bad then.
Not exactly sure what you're trying to do but apart from the aforementioned crazyremote, check out teamviewer and vlc direct. maybe what you're looking for.
OnLive basically can do the functionality if you just want to play games. There is also an upcoming service from them called OnLive Desktop which is a whole Windows 7 desktop environment which allows for high framerate video streaming, flash, browsing, actual MS Office document edition in MS Office, etc.
Also, Nvidia was touting a new tech that would work with Tegra3 devices (not ours, I know, but on topic none-the-less) that would use the GPU to compress and decompress the input and audio/video stream to and from the computer to allow remote game playing or any other function.
Beyond that, framerates and others would depend on the technology, overhead, and speed of connection. You could use RDP (SplashViewer, etc) or whatnot. Most of this is not fully feasible for twitch games or suchnot, but okay for turn-based or some RPGs or whatever.
If all you want is just Video (like you have tons of .MPG, .MP4, etc) and audio streaming over the air (I assume by WLAN you mean cellular data and not WiFi) from your machine, you can try ORB. It takes a little setting up on the server end, but works nicely. There are a dozen little services that can be set up on your computer (especially if it is Linux). You just need to open that particular machine and the app's port to the DMZ (or internet directly) and then use a local app or your browser on your phone/tablet to reach it and view your stuff. If I remember correctly, ORB can even auto-downsize videos on the fly to match closer to your phone's viewing specs, and/or bandwidth.
If you mean WiFi, any DLNA source can work. You can even make your computer a DLNA source if you have Windows Media Center or one of a dozen other apps that can do it. Then you just have to get an app that can pull DLNA sources (I think Mobo can, as well as a number of others). Certain routers can also have a USB stick or USB hard drive plugged into them and use that as storage to present across the network as a DLNA source.
