I'm looking for the best Divx network streamer...
Needs to be able to talk to dlna devices...such as Homeserver Twonky and TVersity.
I think alot of us would enjoy being able to stream from our disk/server...and watch around the home...
Lobster works for music only...
anyone??? The Omnia kinds works..but then starts a hissy ***** fit and then asks for a decoder..
Since I gave up my N95 with a almost perfect UPnP-client (and server on the pc side) I was thinking of using the same on WinMobile, accessing my media servers around the house. Difficult, as you noted, most clients (Lobster, Rudeo) just support music access. I guess Lobster Clips never got off the ground. I still have to test Nero Showtime Mobile, claiming to be a client that can access other servers than just Neros. But even this one seems to have vanished from Neros homepage. But I have a copy, will test eventually. Any other leads welcome.
Edit: Nero is crap, slow and cannot access any of my servers. But look...what a nice UPnP bible we have in the Wiki here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The UPnP Bible
Looks like until Core Player is coming out with UPnP support (announced for a long time), Conduits Pocket Player, now in Version 3.7, is the client of (only) choice:
http://dontknow.me/http://www.conduits.com/products/player/
Just not very nice that this free plugin needed to have the "Network" tab in Browse is not included in the main program, but can be found under plugins:
http://dontknow.me/http://www.conduits.com/products/player/plugins/gen_upnp.zip
It seems like it was hard to stream media 4 years ago. It was begining of DLNA.
And now there are a lot of application for these purposes: Samsung AllShare, ArkMC, Skifta, BubleUPnP!

I was curious to find out if anyone is using anything out there to broadcast their TV Tuner signal to their Touch Pro 2 and it's working...
I have tried Orb, ever since they updated for Windows 7, and although I can get it to work using my laptop, I can't get my Touch Pro 2 to connect. Whenever I try and get the signal to my CorePlayer, it hangs without a signal.
I wouldn't use it enough to get SlingBox, but MyTinyTV that worked wonderfully on my HTC Wizard hasn't been supported in a couple years.
Anyone have any suggestions?

orb and core player
I've found that when using orb some setting need to be tweaked on coreplayer. go to menu>tools>setting then select the network page and set user agent spoof to never. that makes streaming videos work for me. not sure about live TV though.
Who is using me?
Try streaming through Windows Media Player or Streaming Media both are allready installed and seem to work fine for me.
With Streaming Media the video does seem to come in smaller but you can change the buffer up to 25 seconds so sometimes it worth it.
Change stream format in the orb web interface on your phone to:
.asx - for Windows Media Player
or
3GP-AAC/RTSP - for Streaming Media
hey i got SBP TV

Yeah, I just realized that this is a TV application. I don't care about all these garbage stations that broadcast online. I want my FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, and others...
My 2cents..
I would personally start with webcam stream apps and set my TV card as the active cam, set the pc up as a webserver/streamer with some obscure port #, set the stream-cam app to stream 2 disk, and then connect to it by direct IP : port with a suitable player on the phone.
I've done this a long time back PC to PC so a friend and I could watch TV together from seperate locations. I searched around and was able to find free apps to set the whole thing up. There are a few webcam apps that have a built in stream server, you can likely find one if you look around.
I got live streaming TV to my TP2 from my computer at home using orb, I use it to watch the world cup when @ work
make sure that when you setup orb, it is able to scan all your channels
then from there you login to mycast.orb.com from Pocket IE and go to TV > guide > then select a channel and hit play
you can set what type of stream orb will beam by going to the orb website in your pc, going to settings and you can pick different stream types so that it will work with whatever media player you chose
How do I use this thing? I Googled it but couldn't find much info. How do I add a server? Is it all done over WiFi?
How to use All Share
All Share allows you to stream pictures, video and music to and from your device over your local wifi network. It should work with DLNA certified devices. It works using uPnP. Basically, you can use it some TVs, home media servers and gaming consoles such as PS3. That said, I don't own anything like that. There is free software the will allow you to access and play files to and from your computer with ease.
I suggest XBMC.
Once XBMC is installed go to:
Configure Sysytem -> Settings -> Network
Check the following boxes:
1) Share video and music libraries through UPnP
2) Allow control of XBMC via UPnP
Now fire up All Share on your device select play file from your phone to device. In addition to your local computer you should see XBMC, select it and enjoy the stream. I've been very impressed with the video quality. I'm sure there are other application that will allow you to stream to your PC but so far this was the simplest solution I've found.
Oh and prepare to be disappointed, Avatar was not an option, aside from the trailer. If your looking to convert your own movies for mobile use I'd suggest you start with Handbrake. It's very easy to use.

This is badass. Worked like a charm... Thanks! And can this be done over the internet? Like how would I stream it to an IP/Port?
Has anyone tried WDTV Live? All share does not see WDTV Live as media rendered?
I want to push video from phone to WDTV or vise versa?

It's intended to work over wifi only, however, this might be possible through ORB. It does recognize the device in All Share but frankly haven't tooled around with it much. I'll let you know what I find out.

I have been able to stream to my wdtv live with no issues. I don't have custom firmware, just the latest stock firmware.
However, my phone will not see wdtv as a server or nas? Which sucks cause that's where all the media is.
Playon, tversity, ps3media server and Xbmc all streamed media from a hard drive or my pc perfectly.
Playon was not able to stream, online media I.e. Hulu, adult swim.
I've been able to stream videos to my phone using AllShare from two of my Windows 7 machines, no additional software needed. I have a Homegroup setup and just have the the folders containing the videos shared with the Homegroup.

Windows 7 supports DLNA, which is what AllShare uses for media streaming. I'm able to share videos, music, and pictures over Wifi on my home network. I like to stream videos from my PCs to my phone for viewing either on my phone, or on my TV through the video out capability of the Vibrant's 3.5mm headphone jack.
Take a look at this link to enable your media sharing on Windows 7:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/e7/archive/2009/05/12/media-streaming-with-windows-7.aspx
I did have to reboot my PC after changing my Windows settings to see the shared folders show up in AllShare. I'm not sure if this step is required, just my experience.
If you have any other specific questions, please let me know.
Edit:
If you don't have Windows 7, you can install the Samsung server software (PC Share Manager) on Windows XP or Vista, available here :

Thanks for the tips, certainly a better solution than a third party players.

how to use allshare between vibrant and ps3?
hi guys... i've been reading all the threads on allshare but could not find an answer for the ps3 sharing. my ps3 recognized the vibrant right away but there was no content in video,audio or pictures. (yes i did choose files on the phone and added to playlist)..
any suggestions please? thanks...
** sorry for posting too soon... problem solved...
Holy shiznit....This is bad ass...I can now stream all of my TV shows from my PC to my phone while I am laying in bed. Now I can watch episodes of Burn Notice while my wife hogs up the TV.
I just tried it and it works like a charm.
Those of you who aren't sure how to do it I will explain:
-Using Windows 7, download the latest Windows Media Player
-Add your videos to a playlist
-Open up Allshare and select the second option
-Find your playlist and start watching
Can your iPhone do this?
So i can use XBMC and be able to control video on my PC from my phone, but when i try to play media on my PC to my phone the video and music library says no content. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...maybe I need my media in a specific folder? I tried my shared libraries in Win7, but nothing in those folders show up.

I had the same issue with Win7. Do you have the latest version of windows media player? If not upgrade, then make certain to select "allow remote control of my player" and "Automatically allow devices to play media" from the Stream tab in windows media player. This should to access the files instead of just seeing empty folders.
It works with an Xbox 360 using media center too.
Pretty useful for showing video clips on my phone via a bigger screen.

Still not working...I have the latest and enabled the two options listed, but when I select from my phone "play file from server on my phone" now my PC doesn't show up as an option.
The only time I see my PC as an option on my phone is if i'm running XBMC, but even then I don't see any videos to select.
Found this video that helped explain how to setup the video library in XBMC which was easy to do, but now when add any of my movies to the playlist it says it cannot play the video even though most of them are AVI...unless it can't play AVI on the phone player...if that's the case, that good sir is LAME.
Almost forgot the link to the helpful video
youtube dot com slash watch?v=bCx0XtWB37w
(can't post links yet with all my noobness)
edit: Found a WMV file on my PC...put that file in the library and added it to the playlist...it keeps looking like it's loading or something, but nevers ends up playing it was never meant to be I guess
Looking for something or a way I can watch videos or stream from my MAC to EVO also able to download the files if I need to plz help sorry or music also

Orb Networks
I've been using Orb Networks for years. You download/setup the free server side (your computer) program then on your phone just go to mycast.orb.com and login. From there you can browse your defined folders (I've even set up file browsing on mine), pick a media file and it will stream to your phone via the browser. There is a pay app for Orb but the quality is no better than using your phone's browser. The only advantage I've found it gives you a pretty media library interface. Not worth the $ IMHO.
You will need to play with the stream settings to find the best quality for your connection rate. Seeing that flash is supported in the phone's browser I'd suggest starting there. I generally do a speed test from my browse page if I'm unsure of network quality. On our screens the playback will be a bit blocky but the up side is that if you have a tv tuner on your server you can watch live tv on your phone (or your friends phone, or your laptop, or another computer).
If you go with orb and have any other questions feel free to pm me
I can't msg u says u can't accept but is orb my only way I can't login with something else to my MAC and stream video music ect....

Theres nothing else that I have seen that can stream from your computer to your phone, besides Slingbox, but thats only live tv and dvr. As far as downloading files from the mac to the phone, you can use dropbox, or use a remote desktop app.
can Orb stream .MKV files? i'm really hoping I will be able to stream using windows home server V2 when it comes out this year. They have allow streaming through internet browsers, so hopefully the Evo won't be an exception.

Not sure why you can't msg me, I should be able to receive all msgs.
I've looked into other options but have always come back to Orb. My main reason has been I need 3 or 4 different programs to do what Orb does and may of those require both host and client apps. Another reason has been in order to change settings in many of programs, they require that you be at the host computer.

.MKV works but there's reports of sync issues. All Orb really does is transcode then stream your media in the format you select in your settings
some people stream using vlc and the vlc client for android
Subsonic will do this with very slight modification. See my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789717&page=2
The file locations will be different for a mac, but it's nothing a quick search can't solve ;-)
VLC remote is said to be a good choice as well

I cannot get my Windows7 PC to show up in MyNet or UPnP. I've read the threads here and my PC's network, streaming, and sharing settings are configured exactly how the various guides have suggested. (And other non-Windows devices appear and can stream also [e.g., WDLiveHub].)
The TF shows up as a Media Device in my home network, but that's it. I can access my computer via ES File Explorer and GMote, so it's not like there's no connectivity. I downloaded UPnP from the Market, but my computer shares still don't show up.
Interestingly, when I first tried out MyNet, my computer showed up briefly then disappeared...
I've tried everything and, for the life of me, cannot figure out why neither MyNet or UPnP are working. Any help?

Did you try to install TVersity on your PC?
You need to install a UPNP server like XBMC, TVersity etc.
TVersity is supposed to transcode your videos on the fly.
But I never could get MyNet to play anything.
Try the app UPnPlay. I managed to play stuff but it wasn't smooth.
Couldn't get UPNPlay to use MoboPlayer which is supposedly good.
Edit: TVersity only transcodes as the PRO edition. Which sucks.
Anyone know of a free good transcoding server?

Try TV Mobili.
TV Mobili does not transcode...
If you load up Windows Explorer does it show under networks (Media Devices)? If not load up Windows Media Player, click the stream tab and tick 'Automatically allow devices to play my media'
Sometimes it doesn't work for me and I have to reboot my router and then it shows up.
maybe firewall issue?

I use a combination of UPNPlay and VPlayer Trial. Works so good I'll drop the $5 to buy the unlocked VPlayer.
I'm not using any transcoding software on my PC, and if I'm out and a friend has some files I can access I can..
It does kind of choke when 720p quality video. I think it's just that it's transferring slow (wifi).

It's not free, but Plex does a good job. The windows server application is free, but it costs 5 bucks or so for the android app. It also works remotely if you forward ports.
I use plex for when I am not at home and want access to my video library. Otherwise my Windows Home Server works with DLNA/UPNP apps. I don't have my TF yet, but mynet did work on the honeycomb rom for my nook color. Home Server doesn't transcode yet. We will have to wait for a working moonlight/silverlight implementation, so probably never.
MyNet now NoNet
MyNet worked in the previous firmware. Was able to steam multiple video files formats from my QNap file server.
Now with the 3.1 update it is broken and can not see $h!7. It can not see the WDTV Live Hub, either of the 2 QNaps or any of my 3 Systems (2 PC, 1 Mac).
):
kinda upset personally
I wrote Asus with this problem and they told me that these problems to connect with the PC through MyNet were probably related to the new Android version. They told me that they were working on it, but I wouldn't expect much from them... Tis is what happens when companies try to be funny and put junk over Android... We'll see...
BUZZ Player works great for me (streaming from Win7 UPNP)
