XDA 2 / SanDisk SD Wi-Fi = Streaming Audio Bad

Hi there
I was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems streaming Audio
using the SanDisk Wi-Fi SD Card. The problem I have is that it seems the data/audio stream keeps corrupting , as in the sound keeps clicking ever 3-4 seconds , I have tried this on a number of streaming sites and get the same results , I tried this on my old Ipaq 5450 and the stream is crystal clear no drops at all. The Player i am using is Gplayer which is freeware and works wells , the streaming site i am trying to connect to is
h**p://www.somafm.com ( Great music by the way ) , any help would be greatfully accepted.
Regards

This issue has been around for a while now and it happens on mine as well. It seems this is a defect present on all XDAII's.

I had the same problem when I used gsplayer, works fine with pocket music (with the feature pack, the freeware version doesn't support streaming)

O2 XDA II audio patch
Try installing this. This came from O2 U.K.

Thanks
Many thanks to all who have replied , I have now d/loaded Pocket Music and will try it out when I get home.

Hi,
I am also having the same problems. Its a similar setup ie sandisk sd wifi and wireless broadband router. I have tried installing the audio patch and tried pocket music, but it still skips. Any more ideas?

try increasing the read file cache (player options, general) I've got mine set at 2 meg, and also in player options, streaming increase the buffer , mines at 128k buffer, 25% prebuffer and 50% after underrun,
Streams fine both of pc via network share and from internet radio.
You will always get some internet staions that "drop out", but i get that on my pc as well so..........

I'm not sure if this can help improve things, but there is a free application called GB-Soft Tweak for WM2K3 Phone Edition that may fix this streaming problem.
I have not test it yet since my brand new socket SD WiFi is on it's way but it's worth a try.
It has an option that reads:
Higher priority for audio media streaming -> eliminate clicks (till after soft reset)
Good luck!

BUT
when i try to use my polaris to view the streaming content (which is a feature of the camera) it doesnt work....
anyone have any experience on this?
your help would be appreciated.

watch tv anywhere :)

hi people
i just searched for this to see if anyone has done this
i have been watching my satelite on my xda stellar fo a few months now thought i would share how easy it is
all you need is firstly a good upload speed mine is 1.6 meg but 400-500kbs
would work
a tv card with compisite in ( signal from satelite )
audio in (audio from satelite ) rca phono lead to 3.5 jack plug earphones socket
windows media encoder if you have not got it its here
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx
if anyone is intrested i would gladly tell you the rest of it but really this is all you need
for copyright reasons i cant show you my satelite but if you want to check out my fish pond type in this url mms://www.d4rea.co.uk:2976
or on your phone its the same address but as with all of these streams to a phone you must type a /* on the end of the url
so it would be mms://www.d4rea.co.uk:2976/* and it starts streaming on your phone
ENJOY

can't we already do this with orb?

Slingbox
I do this just fine with my slingbox mobile player.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't. it doesn 't like my onboard TV tuner.

Seems like a great idea.
But my Upload speed is limited and slow, and my Mobile Internet too.
So...I can't do this.
Though I'm interested knowing the rest of your story

I have tried orb long long time ago, had and used a slingbox but that is why i thought i`m doing this myself
my satalite has its own web interface on so i log in to my ip anywhere to switch channels over but it then still streams through wm encoder at a much reduced bandwith i have o2 20 meg broadband home and at work so i encode wm encoder to upload 1.3mb ps and watch whatever on work pc and 300kbs upload goes to my xda stellar

Slingbox Mobile TV opinions/sugestions

This is the first time posting so bare with me. I have Slingbox Pro at home and since I purchased my new HTC Sprint Touch Diamond I have been trying Slingbox Mobile. I am still tweaking settings and testing but currently I find video streaming a bit slow but audio OK! Have not tried WI FI yet. Has anyone else been using Slingbox Mobile? Would like to know your tweaks, settings etc... on improving video quality.
Thanks
Sprint HTC Touch Diamond DIAM 500
ROM - 1.09.651.5
Radio -1.00.00F
OS - Windows Mobile 6.1

I have been using it for a while, though I am not sure I have figured out the optimum settings, it is working pretty well over wifi but a little jumpy in fullscreen.
These are my settings:
Player: Buffer setings-manual
Optimization:Enable slingstream optimizer
Enable fast start
Encoding:Enable sling stream optimization X
Video Bitrate 250
Video FPS 20
I-Frame interval 5
Video rseolution 320x240
Audio: Stereo low
advanced: no alert
no stats
reconnect
X=exit
no audio video offset
Use GDI Rendering
On the whole I am pretty pleased with it, but mainly because it turns my laptop into a TV, the mobile software does leave a lot to be desired, especially since they make you pay on top for the mobile software, that is taking the piss on an already expensive piece of kit.

Thanks for the reply post... I have been using Slingbox Pro and my son also who is in Germany has been using it and we both agree that the video and audio quality is great. I have SprintTV as well as DiamondTV which are OK but nothing like having my own DishNetwork TV programs. I am thinking of purchasing the Slingbox Mobile software. It's only $29.99... What's a few more $$$$ anyway. LOL! Again thanks....

I use Slingbox Mobile too. I paid for it because to it's worth a one-time fee of 30 bucks to be able to stream my tv to my phone with full control. I'm aware of Orb as a free alternative but it's way too bulky and resource intensive. Slingbox definitely beats it.
I have not touched any settings at all in Slingbox Mobile. Everything is default. I stream over 3G data and I think the picture looks great and the sound is great. I hope they update the Mobile app soon to have some of the functionality that the latest Desktop version has (DVR buffer, and Guide data). Overall, it's my favorite app on my Diamond.

I also am very happy with my Slingbox (Pro in my case) with my Tilt. I use it with the my recently acquired Motorola S9/S9-HD bluetooth headset and I have to say it GREAT. Highly recommend the wireless headset to go with you slingbox. The older S9's can be found on ebay for under $40, just watch out for knock offs from China.

I've been using the Slingbox Mobile software too and I've found the picture and audio to be fine most of the time. The only problem I have is that my upload speed via my broadband is terrible (thanks BT) so it sometimes struggles. When I use it at home it's fine though.

Stream Video over Wifi

Hi Guys,
Not 100% sure this is the correct forum, but feel free to move me if its not
I am currently working on a small project, which as a added extra I would like to stream video to my pc from my Winmo device. So far I have found Qik and ustream, but at best it has a 3 second delay, and these stream to their servers and then output on the webpage. Is there a way to stream the video from my touch pro to the computer, by either wifi, or bluetooth (as i am trying to reduce the delay to 1 second)
Thanks in advance,
Hellios
