Media Files Via Wifi

Hello all. I have been a huge fan of this site for years. I have worked on many HTC products useing Cabs from this site and the information has been great. I can't thank every one on this site enough for all the great work you guys/girls have done.
I have T-Mobiles Wing / HTC Harald. I have two programs to view the network folder (My Home PCs Folders.) The HTC network folder pluggin works the best. How ever I am unable to watch movies from my PC with out transfering them to the wing. I have tried the Streaming video plugin but it fails to work with this. I have also tried to force Core media player to view them but all I get is sound. Am I totally missing why this will not work? If any one can fill in the blanks for me or point me in the right direction I would be most gratefull.
there are several programs for streaming media...
i guess vlc can do it.
and there are several other programs. just goole a little.
when i find the program i tell you.
found:

i've been doing the same too, i can stream music n etc directly but not videos, but then again its full 700mb movies..
i've also tried to get Orb to work couple of times but i just dont get it :S
I think I might have stumbled onto my own answer. I was playing with the settings in "Core Media" player. (I purchased the Official one not that there is a differance I just wanted to make sure.) Any how if I turn down the Speed to 50% it plays perfect. Not sure about the sound (Baby was sleeping while I was fooling with the Wing.) Will keep playing with it till I have it tweaked for WIFI playing.
Note: Music play back over wifi at 50% sucks hard core..... Stick with 100% for MP3s over Wifi.

Syncing with Vista media Center.........

Anyone doing this besides me? Vista automatically started syncing my recorded shows and all my music on to my Mogul but was putting it on the phone and running out of mem. Not really trying to do this and just charging my phone in the midle of watching CSI it started to sync with the HTPC. I normally sync to the lappy but I was like oh cool lets let this go through. It loaded ALL my music and ALL my TV shows on my mem card after I switched to sync that instead of PDA. The only problem I have is the TV shows show up green and distorted on the device in WMP. I tried in Core and same deal. I thought it could be a mem issue and put one episode of SP on and same deal. Thoughts oh guru's out there?

I have an HTPC, it runhs Vista MEDIA center edition, and it syncs to WM devices. I believe there is a setting that is wrong or the conversion that it does is messing up the video when it "syncs" not transfers the TV shows. I get a grainy purpl and green double image playing on the mogul, but sound is fine. And there is no problem with music at all.
Somebodyt has gotta be doing this. I tried turning off the conversion but then it is not a recongnized format and won't play at all. For the record these are recorded media center TV files in their own format that are being converted over for the PPC by Windows Media Player and have jumbled video using WMP on the PPC. Stock ROM, GPS edition.
Figured it out, thanks for all the help guys.

TouchFlo Music Player not working at all!

Hello guys..
New to the forum, but not to the game - so sorry beforehand if there is already a thread concerning this issue. A link to that thread would more than suffice, but after a few minutes of searching I couldn't find anything - so here goes:
My Blackstone really acts up when I try to use the Music Player in TouchFlo3d. Meaning, all I have to to is slide the menu over to the "Music" tab - and TouchFlo immediately restarts/resets and I end up back at the "Home" window. I've tried formatting the SD card (was thinking maybe it was my music files acting up), but that didn't do the trick. At the moment I just use Media Player Mobile, which is good enough, but I would really love for the actual TouchFlo player to work as well.
Thanks a lot for any help regarding this !
Sincerely, Naxos aka Joachim.
Well why don't you start off by explain how you came to get this problem in the first place? What did you install.
I doubt it will just screw up like that.
Of course, sorry.. that's just the point, and probably why I forgot to mention it. This actually happened like the first night I ever used the phone, so I had installed absolutely nothing yet. I was "new" to the phone then, so I just disabled music tab for TF3D, until now - cuz now I've come to know the phone well enough, and I want to get the problem fixed.
I had synched a few songs via WMP from my desktop computer, and the first time I added them they worked. But as I tried to listen to a few of them, scrolling back and forth, checking the menus etc, suddenly (sounds weird, but that's how i experienced it) it started acting up as previously explained.
Currently the only stuff I've installed to the phone is:
-Official HTC Fixes
-Coreplayer(legit)
-HDTweak
-tnyynt SD Tuner
-MusicID
Really sorry that I really can't explain anymore as to how the whole problem occurred in the first place, and of course I understand if this prevents you guys from really helping at all. Of course, a hard reset would probably do the trick - but I would very much like to avoid that!
My TF3D music player screwed up when i tried to play wma files, as soon as i removed those and only added mp3 files it's ben working fine.
you could check your phone (internal memory and sd card) for unsupported music file format
as long as the stupid thing (tf3d player) scan the entire device for media files, it can stuck on one of those unsupported formats.
it happened to me when i first added my ringtones, so that can be it.
good luck!
Thanks noris, but even that wasn't the thing it seems
searched my whole device for anything but mp3 files, and came up with nothing, I mean other than my ringtones tho.. don't really want to delete all of those..
hm, I'm really at a loss here - so one final effort for some hero out there to help me please! else I guess I'm going for the hard reset
thanks for the replies, anyway!
I had a similar issue with 'Santogold' by Santogold. I read on some other forum that the Touch Flo music player locks out if you have an album title with the same name as an artist! Sounds crazy, but ...I removed the Santogold album and it worked fine. Transpires it loaded in the tracks upto that album then had a fit and kept throwing me out. I still can't figure out what's wrong with the file. It's an mp3 format album purchased from 7Digital. http://www.7digital.com/artists/santogold/santogold/ (encoded at 256k). Have a look at all the music you're transfering over to the HTC and see if there's any music files that bear these similar traits.
I've also had the random audio pauses using the player, bizarre digital scrobbling noises (had to reset device to fix that one). Nearly all of my files were ripped to MP3 using Windows Media Player 11 at 128k. The whole Touch Flo interface is buggy. Are we all raising these bugs with HTC? I have raised a couple so far. Latest being the mail previews (in the envelope graphic) not being able to flick through previews. Seems to happen if the device is reset and you go straight into mail once it fires up, or if the device is left on standby for more than a couple of hours and you go into mail. You have to flick through sms previews first and THEN go back to mail for it to work. Crazy crazy stuff!

Album Videos not seen in Album, Send by Bluetooth, Android

Honest guys, I searched and searched here and all over the internet
I've had my HD2 for about 6 months now. I'm not up to your level of tweakiness with mobile phones
Just upgraded to the latest O2 ROM - 1.72.xxx ?
AND I realise posting new threads on here is faux pas in the extreme, but I spent hours searching and I have a headache plus maybe a small deathwish now!
Please, please, please can someone tell me the answers to;
1. What format do my music videos have to be in, on my storage card, to pick them up in the Photo's and Video's album? I've converted them to mp4 but still I'm told there are no videos found
2. My previous phone was a POS LG Renoir, however, compared to my HD2 it had one redeeming quality in that any photo I looked at I could select 'Send' and Bluetooth was an option. On my HD2 Facebook, Messages etc etc are the only options. Up until 6 months ago I used the bluetooth on my Renoir alot to send work photos. Is there anyway to enable this 'right click' function?
3. I signed up for this phone for 2 years, thinking it was the bees knees. Colleagues at work all waited for the HD2 Desire, and it looks fantastic. I'd ditch WinMo in a heartbeat to have Android - but after reading 100 pages of the 415 available....Is Android a viable option yet? (not taking away the extremely hard word the developers have put into it)
Sorry for asking such newbie questions but as I said originally I just can't find the answers on here (probably because of my ineptitude with using the search function)

Not sure if it helps but a work around for sending pics via bluetooth is using file explorer instead of album providing of course you know where your pics are and you know what the pics is called unless you have renamed them you can then press and hold the pic until menu pops up the first option is send via bluetooth
Not sure about the Vids did you save them to your storage card/video folder?
Just read up a little there is another option, you can use the pictures and video app which is in the multimedia folder in start menu this will show what pics you have on device or SD card with thumbnails again hold the pic and select bluetooth from pop up menu
Again regarding Vids I had several Vids which were stored in my DCM folder and did not show up in Album/Video I just moved them to the video folder on my SD card and now they show up so check that out
Thanks ozmoran for your reply
The bluetooth thing works a treat, can find pics by thumbnail and send by bluetooth. Much better than the work around I had figured using file explorer
Not as easy as having bluetooth being a send option from albums though (just in case anyone can make this work!!)
As for vids showing under albums, I did what you suggested, even reformatted the card. But unfortunately for me it still doesn't work. When I use the album 'search' bit the phone sees two files briefly (two music vids I've encoded to mp4) but then disappears them and says 'no photos or videos found'. I can browse to them normally and play them, in fact they look fantastic. Video I record on the phone shows up in Albums ok, so I guess it's a problem with the way I've encoded mine. I'll do a gspot comparison tomorrow and try to figure out where I'm going wrong
Really annoying though, I wanted the HD2 to be like an iPhone 4 but with the capability of making phone calls!! hahahaha!
Balders
oh well half the problem solved
I had the same prob with Avatar the file was too big I think I re encoded it and now I can watch it but only with media player and it wont show up in my vids in album either
You could always make a shortcut to your vids and put them on a quicklink I suppose
all depends how fast you want to find those vids eh
let me know how it goes
Ps this is much better than the other one and you know it ha ha

[Q] Playing video issues on my Bravo

Just out of curiosity, I have a Bravo with the new 2.2 android update, but I have had this problem even before the update.
I install a video file through Motorola Media Link, or just drag and drop without Media Link, or remove the memory card from the phone and use a card reader to install a video file. I have even changed the settings on the phone when connecting with a USB cable (USB Drive, Media link etc).
The video file cant be read by the stock media player or any media player programs I get from the Android market. I delete the file and try it several times different ways, and the video works. But it takes me hours to delete repeat until it works.
I have tried each time in turn thinking it is one certain setting that I am doing, but the setting that did work, now doesnt and one of the other ways does.
Is there something I'm missing? Please help if you have a fool proof way.
Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Is the video file a file in which can be played on a mobile device? MP4 is the most common, but not all mobile devices can play a wide variety of media files.
