Western digital my book world edition and kaiser

Hi,
I am thinking about buying a Western Digital My Book World edition - access to files over the web & wondered if anyone knew of a way of accessing it over the net through my kaiser (MDA Vario 3)?
If it's not possible with this drive is there a drive that will do it? I'm currently using orb but would like a solution that doesn't mean I need to leave a PC switched on, just a NAS drive.
Thanks

It appears the My Book WE requires proprietary software to access the drive remotely. And WD doesn't have any PPC version at the moment.
To answer your second question, I don't know. I've done some brief checking and can't locate any NAS type drive that's PPC compatible. But, like I said, that was from a brief search. Someone else may have found some kind of solution, but it doesn't appear that there are any "big name" devices that fit what you need.

this one got an ftp server which any pda should be able to connect to if on the network
also the WD my book world got very very bad reviews of you google around
bad non vista/linux/mac working software to get access to it
and poor transfer speeds
but i agree it looks kinda neat

Stream webcam to BA over wifi network

I'm looking for a solution that will let me stream my webcam to my pda, over my wifi network and not the internet. I have tried orb with no success. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Rudegar
I believe all those solutions are more interested in using the PDA as a webcam. What I am interested in is using the PDA to monitor my room where my webcam is (coz thats where the baby sleeps). Is there anyway this can be done?

maybe a search like this

I had done that earlier, let me find out how did i do it?

Best i got...
So far the best , but not very elegant at all, solution I have is to use logmein. Not only does this go through the internet, which is something I am trying to avoid, but it also gives entire control of the pc, whereas I just want a quick stream over wifi of what the webcam is seeing.
Surely there must be someway to stream directly over the network?

Tried http://www.google.com.au/search?cli...+webcam+over+network&meta=&btnG=Google+Search or http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=...m+webcam+over+local+network&btnG=Search&meta=

try digi-watcher. works for me.

logitech used to have that feature to publish to a webpage and would update the picture at a user specified interval. don't know if they still do. i'm surprised orb didn't work. i would have tried logmin as well or a remote desktop client directly if your just at home with wifi. other thought is any webcam streamer that has it's own internet server. years ago i bought a security program cheap (under £10)
called supervision cam. it does time lapse capture or motion change capture and then would upload pics to a website or email to an address. it wouldn't be a stream as such but if you told it to not change the file name by adding a number and only use the same name every time then you could get a 1 to 3 frames per second update to a web page. then just compose the page to auto resfresh every few seconds. just don't do it from a mobile gprs connection unless your data plan has a huge inclusive

I cant believe it - all you need to do, is to put your keywords into google

Try Windows Media Encoder 9.0, it's free. Can be unstable, but it should be enough for your use...

[Q] Freeview TV guide app for WinMo?

I noticed that there was an iphone app for browsing the freeview tv schedule in the UK. Has anyone found something similar for windows mobile devices? Or do you know of any program that has the ability to download weekly updates for tv viewing? It would be nice to have an app for this.
In a totally separate question, has anyone found any Mpeg-4 usb tv sticks that can receive the new Freeview HD signals yet? I've used an mpeg-2 stick for a while and synced programs to my blackstone before, but would like to upgrade to a new HD stick. I've written to a few main players in this market, ie. Hauppuage, and they say that they won't have a product out until just before the world cup.
As an alternative perhaps someone knows of an RSS feed for the guide info?

There is one called On TV v1.31 uk, but you can't store the listings,I'm looking for one like that.

Yeah thx but tried that one, and as you say not being able to store them isn't very useful.

The pics aren't loading on that msmobiles site for me, and I can't see that working on the HD.
And I've already scoured google to a depth of 20 pages or so with little success.
I've started attempting to write a little program to do the things I wanted with it. As I suck at programming it's going to take a while, but if I ever get it finished i'll post it on here.

I hadn't tried this site on my HD until now, but it actually formats fantastically on the HD (on Opera, both vertical and horizontal):

If you sign up, you can then watch the channels, but as it's flash its only watchable on the PC, unwatchable on the HD

[Q] Can I use wireless display to get video on my computer

Hi,
Is it possible to show the image of the nexus on my computer screen ?
My computer is Wifi-n capable.
If it is, does the software exist to do that ? I didn't find anything, maybe i'm using the wrong words...

Yes, u need to use a program like serviio http://www.serviio.org/ (there are more dlna media server out there.. just google free dlna server). This program uses DLNA. Install that on ur PC and make sure ur computer and phone is connected to the same network.
for more info go to

If u don't see DLNA on ur phone, u might need to DL an app that enable DLNA on ur Nexus 4 (imediashare is a good app)

Thans for you answer, but i am looking for a solution that displays the whole smartphone screen - not just a way to share multimedia content.
This is possible with miracast through a compatible TV, but i was wondering if software could make a computer do the same.

By DLNA, what it does is just show pictures, play musics and videos right?
what if I want to mirror whatever I do on the device? because I'm currently doing my final year project and was thinking of buying a Nexus 4 to use the Wireless Display feature (to my laptop which then connected to a VGA projector) for my presentation.

Tried it, it's VNC, not that fast but that should be sufficient. Thanks ^^ was really hoping for Nexus 4 Wireless Display to work on computers though, would make life somewhat easier for me XD

Anyone know if it's possible to use the WiDi in the phone to show its display on a WiDi compatible laptop? I know the laptop WiDi chip is designed to send the signal, but surely it can receive too?

I'm pretty sure itt can't. But I think it would probably be possible to do so with any computer with wifi n, and the right software. The question is, does that software exist ?

Planning to get one for powerpoint display

Hello everyone,
My current boss wanted to get something to display some powerpoint on an hdmi tv fixed on a wall rack mount. I wanted to know if the official office app do work with this device or any other powerpoint app. It would be only for displaying. I heard it was acting as a standalone device, not like the chromecast. She also want to stream some sport match for the guest in the waiting room when there will be an event, obviously, i think it will work for this stuff but i was unsure about the powerpoint.
Thank for answering my question guys.
