Program similar to Nokia 770's Meida Streamer? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Is there a program for WM5 or 6 that is similar to Media Streamer for Nokia 770?
http://net9.blogspot.com/2006/09/media-steamer-for-nokia-770.html
It is a UpnP AV control point for UPnP clients such as Roku, DSM-320, etc. and can act as a UPnP client itself for streaming media.
I know there is Rudeo which has similar functions, but it has an ugly interface and it is not free.
The 770 I believe runs a version of Linux, so how hard would it be to convert to something like that to WM6?

UPnP Client for Magician

Hi!
I am running a nice Asus Wl-Hdd
[url]http://wl500g.info/forumdisplay.php?f=78 [/url]
with twonkyvision mediaserver.
Is there a Upnp client program (like nero showtime mobile) for the Magician?
Thanks in advance!

PS: the wl-hdd is really cool - i use it with pc, xbox and magician...
A UPnP client? How do you mean?
UPnP is the method used to allow a program to specify ports to open and forward when sitting behind a hardware firewall... not sure what application this would have on a Magician.
as far as i understand, UpPnP is used to distribute content. This content is in my case for 99% audio (mp3) which resides on the WlHdd harddisk. Twonkyvision is the server part and if you take a look at
www.twonkyvision.de
you can see the supported clients - there is also a thing called "iPAQ Mobile Media Companions". And such a thing i am searching...
UPnP isn't used to distribute content.
@elyl: Stop posting use- and senseless messages
Look at my original definition of UPnP. It ain't a file sharing program, which is what I think you think it is.
The "UPnP client devices" which that page talks about is your hardware firewall and router, not a software client, which you seem to think it is. Don't be an ass when someone is trying to help you.

TVersity realtime WMV transcoder

I've set this up at home, it converts movies on the fly to WMV and acts like windows media center, except without windows media center best of all, it's free:
http://www.tversity.com/
Latest TVersity News
The TVersity Media Server 0.9.9 (beta) is out, featuring on the fly transcoding to WMV. Finally Xbox 360 users need not do any manual conversion! (MCE is NOT required) Get it NOW - It's Free! (Learn What's New)
What is the TVersity Media Server?
The TVersity Media Server lets you manage your Internet and home media and create your personalized lineup of channels, or as we call it your Personal Entertainment Guide (PEG). It then serves this media to a multitude of networked devices in the home or on the go, overcoming their inherent limitations by doing all the necessary conversions on the fly, and thus making your media available anywhere, anytime and from any device.
What devices are supported by the TVersity Media Server?
TVersity is the most versatile media server and the only one that is truly universal in the range of devices it supports. TVersity can serve media to:
* Devices supporting the UPnP AV / DLNA standard (which is the de-facto standard for connecitivity between devices in the digital home). This includes
* Devices like networked TVs, DVDs, Stereo Receivers, Digital Media Adapaters/Receivers (including the Xbox 360), Mobile Phones, Satellite and Cable set-top-boxes and more.
* Devices with a web browser (XHTML-MP or WAP 2.0) and media streaming or downloading capabilities like Mobile Phones, PDAs, the Sony PSP, and more.
* Devices with an RSS reader and media streaming or downloading capabilities like the Sony PSP, iTunes/iPod and more.
What types of media can the TVersity Media Server handle? TVersity can handle almost any media format and streaming protocol whether it is coming from your home network or the Internet including live and on-demand Internet streams. This makes it possible to access from your device of choice, Internet TV and Radio stations, audio and video Podcasts, photo blogs and photo feeds (from flickr and other sources), Internet playlist communities (like Webjay.org), video search engines (from Yahoo, Google and others) and much more.
Why should I try the TVersity Media Server?
With TVersity your typical living room experience can be truly personalized making you the programmer, and making all the multimedia content on the Internet available for playback at a click on your remote. Staying connected on the go has never been easier, as TVersity makes the same program guide you created available for playback from a wide range of mobile devices. The future of entertainment is here, Try it now!
it's great, i use it for my xbox360.. normally it can only handle wmv streams, with tversity i can stream anything!

Live video streaming from pocketpc to pocketpc

Has anyone got an idea how to use one pocketpc to act as an webcam and stream the video to another pocketpc (Both wm5) over a wifi or gprs connection?
Been searching for a solution several weeks now.
Webcamplus (ateksoft) almost does the job. It can stream from a pocketpc to any computer connected on the web, but can't seem to stream it to another pocketpc directly.
(H)
www.comvu.com
Server there makes streaming possible
The comvu streamer encoder is nice, but the service is bloated and too expensive. The typical american/canadian $$$ ****. I'm trying to get things working with a current build of VLC for WinCE.
Actually the Ateksoft solution looks nice. If it is a standard streaming protocol it should be possible to play the stream with coreplayer or VLC for WinCE.
Update:
I had a closer look to both apps. Ateksoft WebcameraPlus sends full jpeg images to PC via TCP to port 2047. Framerate is around 1.5-2.5 fps. Not impressive.
The pocketvu executable includes all DLLs it needs and the core is made of VCTMID_CODEC.dll made by HTC. I think it is possible to reroute traffic directly to PC or Mobile device instead of to the Comvu server. I think it'll be possible to stream directly from the mobile to VLC or Coreplayer. Must do some sniffing to see if that's really feasible.
Nice work!
Will you keep me posted here?
We've been experimenting with comvu here, but connections are really unstable.
With sniffing you should try to find out whether it uses DNS to find the comvu host to send the stream to. If that is the case one can use DNS spoofing to reroute the traffic to your own host. Next thing to do is to find out what streaming protocol and which container is used. The easiest way to do that is to open the rerouted stream in VLC and try all stream formats (http, rtp, udp, ..). VLC will recognize the codecs automatically. If your lucky they don't use a proprietary protocol. Once you can open their stream it is easy to redistribute it to your clients. If you can sniff the traffic, it is also possible to find out what protocol and codecs they use by analyzing the packets. I don't have much time lately so if you don't wonna wait for me then hook up your wlan router and PC to a hub and install Wireshark on the PC and start sniffing. There are also sniffers running on your mobile device, might be a bit easier.

DLNA compatible player for playing media from the LAN?

I have a NAS server with Twonky media server which is DLNA compatible, so devices like the Playstation 3 can stream audio and video off the network.
Anybody knows about a DLNA compatible player for the Diamond / Pocket PC platform?
Media Player 11 for Windows Vista is compatible, se also http://www.twonkyvision.com/Products/TwonkyMedia/devices.html
I think it would be cool if I could use the Diamond as a kind of "wireless" device for playing music when I'm home!
help please
I too have a NAS server, and woud like to know if this is possible. I can not check myself, as the touch pro has not released in the US. Any help wouldbe appreciated. Thanks.
BUMP
Tversity may be
I managed to get TVersity working for playing video but the performance wasn't that great, maybe because of the transcoder settings. I need to give it another go when I rebuild my server as it is dying at the moment.
Here is how I did it:
- Install FlashLite 3.1
- Start Opera and go to http://ipaddress: port/flashlib
Navigation is a bit slow but it works. Haven't tried music but you could give Pocket Player with the UPnP plugin a go. You might need Hamachi if you are not at home
To answer my own question - I guess Lobstertunes http://www.lobstertunes.com/
could be an alternative. The GUI seems dated though and the each tune show up twice in the listings...
thought it'd be easy
I really thought it would be easy to find a UPnP DLNA Media player for pocket pc, but I was way off. You'd think this would be one of the basics these days.
where is UPnP
I have had trouble finding A DLNA/UPnP client/player that works on 6.5.x for a long time now. Can't find one that works for android either.
Quite annoying the progress windows mobile has made through all these years.
I've been looking for a media player dlna compliant for WM 6.5.3.
Finally I found pocket player 4.0 (by Conduits). One catch once the program is installed you will have to update the plugins for Upnp support. To do this goto "menu" --> "More...." --> "Options...." then choose the plugin tab..."update now".
But I have to admit it works like charm with my Iomega IX2 acting as media server. Album art is also supported.
Not for free but much better than all the junk apps i've run into sofar.

Thank you so much for this post. When the time comes to retire my TP2, I will use it as a DLNA client. I've been looking for this software for quite a while.
Would it support Plex and myPlex?

I'm on my 3rd TouchPro 2. (I went through scads of XV6600's during the six year love affair the carriers had with tiny screens.)
Would this app work as a client for Plex? Even better, could it be used remotely over the internet with a myPlex login?

DLNA Divx network streamer anyone?

I'm looking for the best Divx network streamer...
Needs to be able to talk to dlna devices...such as Homeserver Twonky and TVersity.
I think alot of us would enjoy being able to stream from our disk/server...and watch around the home...
Lobster works for music only...
anyone??? The Omnia kinds works..but then starts a hissy ***** fit and then asks for a decoder..
Since I gave up my N95 with a almost perfect UPnP-client (and server on the pc side) I was thinking of using the same on WinMobile, accessing my media servers around the house. Difficult, as you noted, most clients (Lobster, Rudeo) just support music access. I guess Lobster Clips never got off the ground. I still have to test Nero Showtime Mobile, claiming to be a client that can access other servers than just Neros. But even this one seems to have vanished from Neros homepage. But I have a copy, will test eventually. Any other leads welcome.
Edit: Nero is crap, slow and cannot access any of my servers. But look...what a nice UPnP bible we have in the Wiki here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The UPnP Bible
Looks like until Core Player is coming out with UPnP support (announced for a long time), Conduits Pocket Player, now in Version 3.7, is the client of (only) choice:
http://dontknow.me/http://www.conduits.com/products/player/
Just not very nice that this free plugin needed to have the "Network" tab in Browse is not included in the main program, but can be found under plugins:
http://dontknow.me/http://www.conduits.com/products/player/plugins/gen_upnp.zip
It seems like it was hard to stream media 4 years ago. It was begining of DLNA.
And now there are a lot of application for these purposes: Samsung AllShare, ArkMC, Skifta, BubleUPnP!
