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.

Pb accessing an IP camera with IE

I use the DLINK 5300G IP Camera at home. It has an ambarked Web server which I can access from my LAN or from Internet.
But I does not work with the IE version on my Tytn (on the LAN). I see the web page but the image itself uses an add-on (MPEG4 video activeX I think).
Where can I find it for the Tytn ?
Thanks

Your best bet is to download View Commander mobile from ivimg.com. There's a 14 day trial. It works very well with most IP cameras.
I tried for months and months trying to get my dlink ip cam to work with IE for mobile without any success. I think the mpeg4 codec is an applet thingy that doesn't work in wm5.

Thanks ! It works perfectly and worth the 50$ !

SSH Tunnel Client?

i've searched without luck. can anyone suggest a good SSH tunnel client for WM5/6? i want to tunnel from my tytn via cingular 3g to my home pc and then use PIE to access my home media. i do this from work now, but would like to do it from my phone.
btw, i tried zatunnel, which works, but it isn't very stable.
thanks.

mToken
The new version of mToken (4.3 if i am right) has SSH tunneling (SSH port forwarding). You find it at choung networks.

perfect! works like a charm. thanks.

I probably don't understand the question, but I use Orb installed on my home computer to access files, webcam and other media from any other computer. I can listen to mp3's on my phone from anywhere with PIE. It is free.

not that familiar with Orb, but with Tversity (which i use as a media server for all of my pictures/music/video files) there is no way (as far as i know) to prevent someone on the net from port scanning your pc and copying all of your media content from your pc. with tversity, as soon as you open the port on your home router, you media content is available to anyone that is smart enough to find the right port. there is no inherent login/security mechanism in Tversity.
to prevent this,
1- i don't open the standard tversity port (standard implied deny) on my home router.
2- i open a port for ssh on my home router / fwd to my pc's ip.
3- i use an ssh server to enable a login capability on my home pc using that same ssh port.
then from my phone (for example) i can use an ssh client to login to my pc and point PIE to the ssh port / loopback ip.
like i said, works great.
now if someone can tell me how to harden Tversity w/o having to do this, i'd appreciate it!
thanks.

With ORB you create a password to log on to your system. I think it 's a good app, I first found it reccomended here.

i guess we are getting a little OT from this forum... but your right, Orb has more security. I searched for awhile, but can't determine if Orb supports upnp clients like dlink dsm-320 and xbox media center (XBMC), etc.
in addition to using pie on my wm6 and any remote PC to access my media, I have the dlink connected to my bedroom TV wirelessly and the xbox connected to my 60". from either one, i can stream all of my media content from tversity to my TV's. please let me know if Orb can do that cuz i'll switch asap. thx.

I just thought I'd add that you can use openvpn (open source) on your ppc to vpn over a single port just like ssh. Openvpn has alot more features including persistent connections for automatically reconnecting and is extremely secure. It seems very stable to me using it over wifi to connect home. It will even work over a proxy. I use it to enable direct streaming with orb because with the vpn you are essentially on the same network.

putty mobile
i've just checked my putty mobile installation and there is a tunnel-option.
i can't try it cause i'm not in my home network but you can give it a try

One little nugget I found out last night about mToken is that it doesn't work on WM6
A freind has got a cute little Vox (I think) with WM6 and can't use most the software I use This is a major reason NOT to upgrade for me if my software doesn't work

pocket putty works great with the tunnel option. I've looked tv stream over such a tunnel.

Thanks

You must setting better a WME, open wifi and stream!

VPN for Nexus Player

Anyone know if there is a vpn that works on nexus player yet? One that doesn't keep logs.

Yup. IPVanish doesn't keep logs and their Android app works on the Nexus Player.

I use PIA, I sideloaded the app on my Nexus Player, and it works fine, just don't try to use Netflix when connected to VPN, because it won't work. Apparently it's an issue with android, not Netflix.

The sideloaded "normal" Netflix app works with VPN, but it crashes if you try and click e.g. the subtitle button.

Bump
Any new VPN for the Nexus Player?
Thanks!

i tried Hotspot shield VPN Elite , connect OK , i open netflix , loads a long time, i can see the foreign Catalog , but when i tried to see anything popup a message that i using a Proxy server. D4MN!!

I use unlocator. It costs money and not free, but Is stable and reliable. It's configured on my home network and the NP works great with it (I use netflix, Pandora, bt, espn, bbc iplayer, nba...)

Anyone try sideloading expressvpn on nexus player?

I sideloaded F-Droid and I was able to install regular ol' OpenVPN for Android, which is supported by most if not all providers, including those that don't log.

Since NP is going to be tied to your home network, you really should consider implementing your VPN at the ROUTER level, not on your NP.

Hey guys, I need VPN client for Nexus Player connection to other private server through PPTP (not public service, just private with custom IP, login/pass). And problem that router without VPN connection support, so I need it on the device. Any suggestions?

I use PIA on mine. Sideloaded, sits sideways, guess you could fix that with some rotation app. Anyways I can connect with my remote and set it up to auto connect when I open it, I disconnect with my remote.

If I right understand what does you mean, this is third party service, isn't it? But I need direct connection to my own VPN server with PPTP.

Is there way to access inbuilt vpn settings or 3rd party app to enter own/custom vpn settings?
