Remote assistance/desktop

Having remote desktop running fine just not enough for me. Im looking for an app or maybe use terminal sevices to remote assistance. just want to be able to use xda as a remote control for my music on the PC
Thought this might have been possible with remote desktop but it just logs me off as soon as i connect through the xda and wont alow mp3s to play cos it cant detect suitable audio devices or sumin like that

There is an application right for you!
Pocket Pc Media Control
[email protected]
This application runs in background of your pc,and using the client like a windows mediaplayer on pocket pc you can control your Windows Mediaplayer remotely with mp3's,divx,etc..!
I find it really great,and it is free.
Regards

wow thanks alot for that working a treat!

Any idea where i can get the software?

WiFi streaming

Using the WiFi on the prophet, is it possible for me to listen to music from my computer's hard drive via the Prophet from another room?

Yes quite simply using standard windows shares. I set up a favorite in MortPlayer.
Anither option would be to install uPNP server software on your PC, something like Microsoft's Media connect and then get a uPNP player on the PPC. I think Nero Showtime Mobile supports uPNP and is currently free.

Or even better - try RescoRadio. This is an amasing program.

Windows Media Encoder
Hi,
I found that the easiest way to do this is to install Windows Media Encoder 9 Series from Microsoft. You can set up your own broadcasting station with that. Install, choose content to stream, set desired compression, and voila, you'll be broadcasting to the whole world if you want to.

AbuYahya,
Are you sure you have the correct path from your WMP10 on your mobile? From WMP10, open URL and Put in your ip/local pc path and then add /live at the end as that is the default for WME9 broadcasting name.
Cheers...

re:WME
thanks it works with the suffix of "/live"
thanks again

What settings do you need in WE9 as everytime I try to connect to the stream I get a cannot play the format error. I am streaming MP3 files. Can't seem to get this to work at all with WMP10 Mobile.
Any help would be appreciated.

I use MediaMonkey with the Oddcast plugin going to an Icecast server. Foobar2000 is the best PC client and, of course, Mortplayer on Windows Mobile devices. There does seem to be a problem with Mortplayer if you stream in .ogg but .mp3 works perfectly. All free software too!

The easiest way to start using Allshare

Go here http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...XAA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
to download the PC share manager software.
Install software and setup the file on your computer you want to share, the software is kinda slow so this may take a bit.
Turn the server on and open the Allshare app on your phone and click on playvfiles from server on phone.
Go to the PC share manager software on your computer and click on share and then device policy.
You should be able to see your phone, your phone is labeled SGH-T959, click accept.
Then go back to your phone and if the server is not showing yet click refresh and you should be set.
Now you can watch and listen to all your movies and music on your computer from your phone.

i went to that link but i wasnt sure what to click or download. can somebody help me out? thanks.

You running Windows 7?
Software version shows Xp/Vista...
Just checking if any1 knows if its compatible

There's and even easier way if you don't mind using Windows Media Player
If you click on the 'Library' drop down menu your phones server name should automatically show up, even if the allshare app isn't activated. From there, just find the folder where you stored your media and you should be good to go.
NOTE: You have to have, If you're using Windows 7, your media sharing enabled in the network and sharing options in the control panel.
EDIT: or u could just connect allshare to windows media center lol btw, i just figured ou how to use ALLSHARE WITH XBOX360!!!

The first thing I tried was the Windows Media Player and on XP it does not see my phone so I can't give access to my phone and even when I click share with all my phone does not see the WMP.

i could get the samsung app for my pc to work correctly on my phone however i can confirm, Windows media sharing works great

How far away can you be from your pc?

Just got back from my brother's house and his network with WMP does not work on his or my Vibrant.
Are you using XP ?

any one know how to do this with ps3???

You don't even need to use WMP if you are on Windows 7. All you need to do is go to Control Panel > Home Group and check the libraries you want to share. I'm sharing my pictures, music, and videos folders. Then check "Stream my Pictures, Music,....."
and hit "Save Changes" on the bottom.
Congratulations! Now your stuff is shared with your phone, Xbox 360, PS3, other computers, and anything else on you network. No software needed.

I use the AllShare app on the phone, but no software on the PC side.
My N900 supported file streaming from the stock media player as well.

I guess I'm a moron. I have XP at home and I couldn't figure out how to enable sharing via Media Player.

The PS3, Dont have to do anything it will see the phone. It will be under video, and under the PS store. It worked great.
I was told you can do this from your Xbox360, but could not get it to work.. Any help would be great.

What kind of file can the Vibrant play? I have a lot of xvid video but it says "sorry, this video cannot be played"

I cannot connect any of the ways described above. I don't know if I'm missing something but when I turn on allshare, it says no media. First I tried the way of the first post but I when I click on share and set device policy, I get nothing. Then I tried streaming a file through windows media player and i have streaming enabled but don't get anything on my phone. Then I made a homegroup with windows 7 but still don't see any shared media in allshare. My phone is connected to my wifi so any clue as to what I could be missing?

All share

So I have 2 computers on my router/wifi and when I open all share I can not get to my computer only my moms now my computer does not have wire less internet but I should be abel to get it thro the router. I have windows 7 ultimate and the computers home made. Any one know why I can't see my computer?

XBMC
I was completely unable to see any of my machines running Windows 7 or XP on the Vibrant. But I installed XBMC and it has a UnPn server and worked great. It's a great media center and there's also an excellent Android client that you could use for everything except streaming to the phone - for which I use AllShare.

I had no problem with allshare on win7, and I didn't even download anything from samsung. Just control panel -> network and internet -> homegroup -> share media with devices (check that off).
All the music in my music folder will be shared automatically and accessible from allshare on the vibrant with this.
I just decided to try it today for fun, and that was all it took. I don't really like that it's locked to "my music" folder, but if you don't like that, just get the gmote app (free) - since you can play things on your phone via the gmote app or on your pc. same thing but without restrictions.

Allshare won't see a Windows 7 computer unless you have the computer set up to share media.

Ill try home group right now thanks guys I was messing with makeing a home net work yesterday but not that.

well duh.
this is like saying "Your phone cannot connect to your computer because it's not on".
meanwhile, gmote = solution/alternative. Gmote will play anything.

DLNA

hi everybody,I moved this question from Q andA section,no one replayed ..maybe here and sorry for posting same thread again ...
I have tried to share my files in the DHD with PC using DLNA with Windows media player and there was no problem to see PC files in DHD., but can't see any from DHD on Media player... any ideas why DLNA works only one way? Thanks... (same with Nero mediahome too)..

You will need to select the files on your phone you wish to share on your network. Media Player on your PC has already configured media to share.
Go to android market and search for DLNA or media share to find programs that will allow you to do this. Once shared, files will be visible from your phone.

Hey georgito,
Which program are you using to connect to PC and vice versa?

...the default one-connected media..and skifta too...both same results,files are playable only on phone...

You can play files from your DHD on your computer using the Windows Media Player (on Win7 it works, I think Vista should be fine too, not sure for XP though - you might need to update the WMP). You have to enable "remote control" on the player settings and then you can play files drectly. There is no way without a third party software to get DLNA on the DHD working like a media shared folder (the way the DHD can see the files shared on your computer).

..yeah..I did everything necessary to set up connection..and still can see any change to play files from phone on PC..still just having only phone player on menu...no windows one..I thing,there is an issue with 64bit vista..

Try this. If it still isn't working, maybe you can try to disable the firewall / antivirus just to check if that's the problem (don't forget to turn them back on ).
