Videos - Streaming, Playing - ARGH!

okay - I could pretty much stream a full size DIVX thanks to EVDO Rev a - HOWEVER, here is my problem.
I go to any of the windows mobile video sites (I'm using the most recent DCD rom) and try to load it up. Pops up Windows Media player and then proceeds to.............. chug along.
I can't get a clean, stable streamed video. Not only that, but I can't seem to find ANY sites that have news/tv/blah - AT ALL.
Maybe I'm searching wrong - Maybe the sites I'm going to are slow as snot, who knows.
I do know that TCPMP works great for Divx, just tested that out, but I have unlimited internet, a connection that's faster than most people's home internet.... and, well - I CAN NOT USE IT!
Please help me utilize the super fast speeds of my phone so I can feel the glee when I see 800+ megs of usage
Tanks!

I use TCPMP along with the flashvideo bundle to watch mostly youtube videos ( or sites compatible with the flashvideo bundle )
But I recently bought the successor to TCPMP Core Player I use this to view videos from websites that are not supported with the Flash Video Bundle & TCPMP, movies, some You Tube Videos, and more.
Plus It has other great features. (Just a second option )

BBC iPlayer?

Hi,
I have searched the internet and as far as I'm aware, there isn't a Windows Mobile app that plays the BBC iPlayer.
I have notice that the new Nokia N96 has this functionality.
Is their already a windows mobile application for the iPlayer?
If not would it be feasible to have an application similar to the youTube one?
Thanks

same here i want the iplayer on my diamond and if any one out there could help please do

I have found this post from a couple of months ago:

Though it didn't seem to come to any conclusion...

iplayer
this would be so cool on the diamond....

Iplayer Not Possible On Any Phone..
BBC IPLAYER ACCESS ON DIAMOND/ANY PHONE NOT POSSIBLE...
THE ONLY MOBILE BROWSER CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING THE LATEST FLASH ETC IS SKYFIRE,BUT SKYFIRE USES AN AMERICAN PROXY SERVER WHICH CAUSES "MUST BE IN UK TO WATCH " ERROR
THEREFORE BBCIPLAYER IS NOT POSSIBLE AND WONT BE UNTIL SKYFIRE CREATE A UK PROXY SERVER (NOT FOR A LONG LONG LONG TIME)

I have had a go at this (unsuccessfully). I even tried spoofing opera's user-agent to an iphones user-agent but although I got the iphone version of the iplayer website, the streams would not play. (there was some text visible about requiring a plug-in)

The BBC rather too accurately detect the flash version. I've just a similar problem with my Ubuntu 8.10 install until I rolled flash back to version 9.

iPlayer to synchronise shows on PCs and phones
The BBC's iPlayer service will synchronise downloaded TV shows across all your PCs and mobiles, as part of a forthcoming integration with Windows Live Mesh, writes Barry Collins in Los Angeles.

a valid point merrica
although,this mobile integration of live mesh and bbc iplayer
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/233295/iplayer-to-synchronise-shows-on-pcs-and-phones.html# is good ,its still not what we need as it is limitied to what you have on your home pc,its exactly the same as using orb or any other mobile-streaming app....the point is real-time bbciplayer access wont be possible for a while
(i mean going to bbc iplayer and randomly choosing a show.i.e. tonights eastenders..this wont be possible until skyfire has a uk proxy option)

You do know that you can
download programme content from the iplayer website an then upload it to your phone and watch through WM player. It does need to download the DRM to your phone.

I think the majority of people here would like to stream directly from their devices.

I tried doing this for the first time yesterday, but when I put the file onto my diamond it would'nt play the file due to DRM. you put that it needs to download the DRM to your phone.... so how does it do that?
It'd be nice to be able to stream it straight to the phone, but i'd be happy to download the shows that I want for now, but don't know where to start with DRM??

open in wm player and should auto download opening both ie and opera for some reason. both pages will be blank. please note this takes ages sometimes

I have managed to get the N96 / Samsung I900 streams to work fine on my X1.

Can you test with your Diamonds?

it seems to work but the iplayer service keeps going down,so i will try again later and hopefully get to see a stream.

I've heard that iPlayer seems to work fine on the latest beta of Skyfire, which also plays youtube flawlessly. Here is the review of skyfire (http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1476)

Iplayer on wm6 with ease
Skyfire Beta is now available to anyone in the uk. I downloaded it the other day and can now view any website including Youtube, BBC iPlayer, Joox, gamesloth and so on. It runs the webpage from thier systems and you view it on your handset. give it a blast. its free.

ive been using skyfire for a while,i would just like to see other browsers having this capability,
Maybe in opera it might sit the picture on the screen a bit better without having to rotate the screen and stuff.

Is anyone getting sound from the bbc iPlayer on Skyfire?

I got sound on my X1 when using SkyFire. There is an option in SkyFire to disable/enable audio, also double check the iPlayer has the volume set.

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!

Hulu on xperia

For those who dont know Hulu is this awesome new webpage that lets u watch free, real shows streaming to ur pcs. My question is , is there any way to get the video to stream to coreplayer or youtube player , or anyother streaming programs we have on our xperia. that would bring our xperias up like a whole new level of usability. I rember back in the days before youtube application, there was a hack to catch clicks on the webpages and redirect them to core player or tcpmp. im hopeing someone knows how to do this. im itching to make this a real iphone ass kicker

Well Hulu is far from new It's just now catching on because of it's added TV shows. There has been talk about Hulu moving to mobiles, but that was almost a year ago and nothing has come of it. I think Skyfire might work though, not sure. I'll try it later today and get back to you.

the only thing is skyfire isnt vga compatiable. its just streched out qvga
thats why i wanted to see if we could do something to get it to play on tcpmp or other streaming programs

You can try PIE6 it should support flash and is vga and wvga compatible.

Watching Hulu on a pocket pc would be just about the most amazing thing ever.
Im sure the iphone will get it first though.
Just like Pandora.

A slingplayer or Orb Android equivalent?

Just wondering if there is any third party streaming software out there in the Android market similar to Slingplayer and Orb that can stream television and or live tv from home...
Slingplayer for symbian s60 v3 worked flawlessly and orb too, just wish to find a solution to put on the Nexus,
thanks

can i take your comment to mean that the nexus one won't stream from mycast.orb.com?

Orb just released 3 android apps to the market. Get out your wallet...

That is correct.... I've been trying to get it work for 2 days now and no workie.
Just to make sure Orb has the testing site, http://test.orb.com to test to see which formats are playable. None work

Yeah that does suck. I wonder if it's a codec thing. Does orb transcode?

on winmo, i've never had a problem. ever. it should transcode, and puts it into an asx stream file. opened with several different mobile players, and static players. this bites :/ i was excited about streaming my media to my new phone, and now that's not gonna work either? skype broken, orb broken, wtf? why all the hate?

Found this on orb.. it works!!! So till the app comes and makes it easier to view media use this.
It took a while to figure out and hopefully I can save some people time. It took some time and frustration but got everything working. This is my very first posting. I have a Moto Droid I purchased a couple days ago. I have not downloaded any additional browsers or media players. I am watching high quality live TV from my Orb account. There are a couple key steps in the process.
1) Sign up for an Orb account from your home computer (if you haven't)
2) Sign into your account from your home computer
3) Click Settings in the top right and select 3GP Format (.sdp)
4) Launch browser on Droid. Clear Cache and Cookies
5) Log into your your Orb account from your browser on your Moto Droid
6) IMPORTANT: Select Settings on bottom middle of page
7) IMPORTANT: Select Stream on top right of page
8) IMPORTANT: Select 3GP Format (.sdp). NOT AAC or AMR versions
9) Select Save
That should do it. Works great for me with Default browser and media player. Hope this helps....

pimpalicious. that's awesome news. i tested that android does work through orb, because my sister's stock g1 is streaming from my computer right now. just wanted to insure that the nexus one isn't 'crippled' for any reason.
not all file formats will stream out though. one of the videos i have must be encoded with a wonky format, because while i can watch it on pc, it won't stream to ps3 or through orb

the quality compared to my pro2 is night and day for some reason which makes me happy!

That does work well and works with my webcam, useless, but still kinda cool.

i've had orb on my pc for a spell, so i could stream music/movies to my work pc. default browser on N1 had no problem streaming from mycast.orb.com on several movies of mine, through wifi. not everything works, but i suspect that's codec conflicts

For those of you interested, at CES, Sling confirmed that they have an Android app in development for Android. I don't have the link handy at the moment, but it was in an Engadget article. No time frame was mentioned, unfortunately.

Can confirm with previous posts that Orb is working brilliantly on the N1
Thanks
