hi
can anyone play this file with real player ppc?
http://www.radio.rai.it/live/radio1.ram
on pc, it plays
on ppc (xda/mdaII) no
why? thanks!!
official link:
http://www.realnetworks.com/industries/mobile/operators/products/player/ppc/
Its a stream from the net so it should work.. but listening to the radio via the net on your PPC would probably run up some hefty GPRS bills.
Its in .ram format, so it should work fine as long as your GPRS is connected.
thanks for your reply
the rai link provided it's only a 33kbit audio file
the following file is only 20kbit:
http://www.radio.rai.it/live/radio1.ram
when opening a ram or rm file it always tell me:
"Response or data from server timed out"
i've search a solution on this page, but without success:
http://service.real.com/help/player/realone/pocketpc/realone.html#troubleshootingyourro
thanks for any help! ;-P
I've tried many times and many links to listend and see streamed media via Real One,also with newer version.
Only 2 of 25 i've tried worked.
In fact,I don't know why they do not work.
Saluti
thank you ;-P
is your error alway the same?
thanks!
i think it depens from the pocket pc version
on real site they always write "ppc 2002)...
any other suggest?
can anyone help me please?
this page works on pc:
http://www.realnetworks.com/mobile/pocketpc/usa/entertainment_movies.html
but on my xda/mdaII not
the error is always the same:
"Response or data from server timed out"
on the official real player web site they invite customers to try their page!
http://service.real.com/test
but NO demo play with windows mobile 2003...
how it's possibile that REAL didn't try it's most famous software on the last windows mobile?
uhm...
I contacted Real about this a while ago, and they seem pretty clueless.
As you mentioned, none of their test files work, yet their response seemed to deny any problem on their end, to the effect of saying "some streams may not be compatible, contact the source of the stream".
Just plain useless if you ask me.
Now if only Radio4's listen again site did windows media (which works, er, 40% of the time)...
Incidentally, did you know Auntie Beeb is planning on a video service for their TV programmes? High quality 320x240 optimised encodings of their past week's programmes (ideal for PocketPC, in fact they've given a lot of PPC devices to their staff to test). Could be fantastic.
thanks for your reply
any other suggest?
how it's possible that no one have my problem?
real player really doesn't work on windows mobile 2003?
it' a big BUG!!!
It could be 2 things afaik
1 realplayer doesn't like nat. It needs to open aa connection back to the mobile device to send the data. The device opens a control channel, and the streaming server opens a streaming data connection. Why does it work on the pc? either the pc has a non natted public ip address, or the player falls back to streaming via the control channel, this isn't happening on the ppc player.
2 ppc realplayer doesn't like http streams and only supports rtsp streams
thank you for yout technical reply
i can only reply on point 2:
the links provided (rai) directyl redirect to rtsp streams files
if you watch the clip info during the first loading, real player ppc show the correct rstp location
i'll try with ppc2002
last year it worked with wifi connection
always seems ok (configuration & requirements):
http://www.expressresponse.com/cgi-...st_name=&last_name=&email_address=&telephone=
http://www.expressresponse.com/cgi-...cument&search_input=JSS_0019.html&session_id=[[session_id]]
but it doesn't work
damn real! :twisted:
i've compliled a support form on real web site, let's wait for their reply..
Its got to be a problem with REAL, as every stream ive tried in windows media player always seems to work.
I didnt manage to get any of those test streams to work.
yes!
with microsoft media player almost all files play in streaming!
Just found buried in O2's website:
Question 5:
Can I use Realplayer with Xda?
Answer:
Yes - all content stored on Xda will be usable. You are not able to stream Real content using O2 MobileWeb at this time.

So I guess they block the necessary ports. No idea why they would want to, but it's their network after all.

Gold star for you, sir! Here's my additions, the CNN Pipeline feeds (the first of which is usually CNN International on a live stream):
http://dynamic.cnn.com/video/meta/live/stream.1.large.asx?nsfg=&CNNid=
http://dynamic.cnn.com/video/meta/live/stream.2.large.asx?nsfg=&CNNid=

http://dynamic.cnn.com/video/meta/live/stream.4.large.asx?nsfg=&CNNid=
At this point I'd just like to point out that I just tried to load these streams up on my device via my wifi connection, and WMP won't accept the first stream (just goes round and round 'connecting' and eventually times out, and TCPMP errors back and can't play any items in the playlist) - think this is because of the way that the player is assigned an authorisation access code which is appended to the stream name in an odd way AFTER the browser initially does an http get to the stream URL. Tried stripping it back down to its plain reflector URL, but got an Access Denied in WMP, but I'll keep on trying to figure it out. The streams work fine on my PC, but of course they were designed to be played back on a PC (with more advanced WMP support).
The streams are ~360kbps, but will go lower I think. Enjoy while they're available, don't know how much longer they'll last as publicly-accessible...

According to this DTG article, BBC News 24 will be streaming 'within months' (that article is from April of this year, but it's still quite possible provided they sort out the rights issues, given that News 24 currently only has UK rights).

all seem good liking the cnn ones
So the CNN Pipeline ones work for you? Interesting, I couldn't get them to work on my Vario 2... How do you have your device set up software-wise?
only have a vario 1 , and was via wifi, just clicked the link and it opens in wmp 10
CNN pipeline worked on my Vario II, then a day later it did not work and it gave me an error message.
Dont know why, although I know CNN Pipeline is a subscription-based service - they may have problems with it, which is why I managed one day to get free access to it, while access was declined the following day.
Have a look at this wikipedia entry for details of each feed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnn_pipeline
I know that when you access the initial URL it authenticates your IP for access to the stream, then forwards you to the mms reflector URL to actually load the content... I couldn't get WMP10 to properly access the first stream to get authenticated, and TCPMP wouldn't do it either.
It plays on my PC fine, so I know it's an authentication issue. Quite annoying cause I like the pipeline feeds
what's the difference betgween http:// and mms: ?
Is it best to use a mms link directly, or instead to go through the http:// first?
MMS = multimedia streaming protocol, it's true realtime streaming. HTTP is hypertext transfer protocol, the way that computers talk to web servers, the agreed standard if you will (http contains a big list of common codes which describe the status of a connection or request, such as HTTP 200 OK for a valid request, HTTP 404 Not Found for an attempt to access a nonexistent resource, HTTP 403 Forbidden... that's obvious, HTTP 500 Internal Server Error (usually seen if a PHP, SQL or CGI script is incorrectly configured on the server). it's been added to since it was first invented, and various programs can now pseudo-'stream' files are they're downloaded - but you can't stream in realtime over HTTP properly, it's always a fudge as there has to be a static file hosted somewhere for the transfer to begin. Therefore, most streaming servers (like the CNN ones) host the .asx (playlist) files on an http server, and if you download .asx file and drag it into Notepad, you'll see the links to the mms server, along with a reflector port and other information necessary to authenticate the client for access (used most for authenticated services or limited access streams). HTTP will be used as a fallback, but in most cases MMS (or TCP RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol)) will be used, as it's the best solution for streaming media in realtime.
Using ORB from www.orb.com you can watch and listen to all stuff you have on your home PC.
Now THERE's a thought - I had it installed about a year ago but didn't have free Internet then! Oh MAN... I could watch all my films on the go... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Personally I'm waiting for the Slingbox Pro to come over to the UK, I know my housemate's getting one but I may well end up getting one myself too, hah.
I have used orb on pocket pc since i got my wizard - now with the hermes it has the extra 3G option. which is a whole new expierence.
Bump as this thread is useful. Posting this via my Vario 2
I'd be interested to see what T-Mobile have to say about this... since according to their Web 'n' Walk fair usage policy.....
Fair use policy applies. To ensure a high quality of service for all our customers, the web 'n' walk service is not to be used for other activities such as (but not limited to): modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video downloads and internet based telephony.

Orb and Digital TV Streaming
To those of you who use Orb, what TV tuner card have you got to get live digital tv streming over Orb?
i've been using Orb and it's a great piece of software, but I suppose the real benefit of Orb is to stream live digiotal TV that does not normally stream over the web (as you can stream live tv over the web on the Vario II with 3G/HSDPA without Orb).
I understand only a handful of TV tuner hardware are compatible with Orb. Which one do you use? How well do they work? How much have you spent?
thanks

What is MEdia net VOD
Holy crap guys.
Found this works from trying a site on another thread.
I went to http://bol.cnet.com on the browser
then i clicked on "download today's podcast" just after the little paragraph, a box popped up saying it's "opening podcast.cnet.com...." then bam it starts playing RIGHT AWAY in the built in music player!
And no, it doesn't download and play it, it streams it, you can fast forward to the end right away.
I tried it with the other episodes, works just awesome!
EDIT:
I been messing around.
Looks like ANY URL that points to a .mp3 when you click it, it will automatically play in the built in Music Player

Hold up - lemme test this as it is pertinent to my interests.
1) Went to mynorthwest.com to hear this TBTL show from Seattle I dig when the local talk radio is driving me mad and need a break
(show not live atm, so went to archives) Play now option doesnt work - I blame the pop up window they used.
The download it option - SUCCESS, streamed immediately.
2) Went to thestreamcenter.com/PDA/?state=MO (which is bookmarked on the Wing so I can play local radio on demand). Tried 4 different stations - webkit downloaded the asf file and when clicked to play was given a "Cannot Play Video" error. FAILURE.
3) Clicked a random radio station link from the above site, only showed the giftwrapped ? for where flash is needed. I blame the webdesigner for not being mobile compatible raather than android on that one.
So since your d/l of a podcast worked, and my d/l of a saved program worked: I see podcast capability. I have to yet been able to get live streaming audio, someone figure this out and post their results.
I tried to listen to a shoutcast stream and it said size couldn't be determined... I don't think we will see it integrated into the browser... I think it is gonna be a standalone streamer for shoutcast style streams.
I cant stream with Jinzora and it uses lots of different methods like m3u, pls, ask, ram, and xspf. Does anyone know how to get these filetypes to stream to the g1?
I just tried this also and it works perfect. Now only if there was a way to save some songs
I'm not happy that radioio.com/io2go doesnt stream, even though they have mp3 format option.
probably G1 only can "stream" archives, not live
tried .ram, .asx, .m3u, .pls, no luck at all
could someone try this site for me please? this will play a big part in me buying a g1 if it can stream from thus radio station although it uses a pop up amd is live so doubt it will work :/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/
link is on top right to listen to station
Nope doesnt work, bbc radio requires real player.
grrrrr and am i right in thinking it does not have fm radio???
WTF
I've had my g1 for 2 days, figured out last night that it wont stream. uh why ?
my crappy old htc s620 was a stream machine , live streams podcasts anything. So is there any update on this ?
don't diss the dash lol, I'm gonna keep my eye out for streaming web sites, a thread with compatible links would be great. there are plenty of apps like "sreamfurious" and "a online radio" that can stream anything you want.
try pressing the stream links with a trackball, dont ask why cos i have no idea why it works, but it does
Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has had any success streaming media to their A7. I currently have a NAS drive on my network and stream media to all my other devices (Archos 70, Archos 5 Android, EVO, etc.) but for some reason I cannot get the A7 to actually play anything from this network location.
I have been able to navigate to the files themselves, but playing them has not worked out so well. I've tried a variety of Apps and different file formats, but none seem to work. I can attempt to open files, and even get prompted to use various Apps, but nothing seems to work after that, it just fails. Anyone have any ideas or success with this effort please let me know as this is a biggie for me.
Sorry if this is a dup question, as I could not find anything about this for this device in particular.
And many thanks to Dexter, you've made this device surpass it's otherwise limited capabilities. Seems silly such a quality product is being left behind by the Stream, but this seems to be the model of all tablet makers these days. Pump them out as fast as possible regardless of full functionality and forget about them a month later!
The only way I've gotten streaming to work is by using PlayOn.
hi I can access all my movies on my hard drives and play on my a7 this way
download TVersity media server from tveristy.com. I just use the free version. It will change your home page when you install it so you will need to change it back. Install that on your pc and then add your movie files to the library.
On your a7 download a app called skifta from the market and install that. when you run this choose a media source choose TVeristy media server. Under player choose your a7.
then choose browse and play media you will see your library files you added in tversity and some other stuff. You will need a video player installed on your a7. I have act 1 video player and also rockplayer. It will let you choose which to use when you select movie.
select one and your movie should start. Your movies have to be in a compatable format.
it also will let you play music and view photos
I also have a wd live movie box on my tv. With this same setup I can redirect the movie to wdlive box by choosing it as player and the it will playback the movie on my tv.
Thanks for the advice (both of you). I was really hoping for a more direct approach though. I've used apps like Orb that require you to run a host computer, and my NAS drive (Buffalo Linkstation) has a web app built in, but both these methods have proven very slow and often frustrating when trying to access via mobile networks. It just seems odd to me that the A7 doesn't do this while most other Android hardware does. Granted I'm more familiar with Archos products and they specialize in media players. Will keep trying though, Thanks!

the platform you refer to is different from Tegra2/Nvidia, and you can blame Nvidia for the stock codecs they support.. they partly added mkv's now in latest update.. but 1080p mkv's still stutter on a7 and other tegra2 devices..
LG with their Optimus 2X added their own custom player, and since its incorporated into the framework, its hard to make it run on other devices for now.. but nvidia is primary source for what we can use it for now..
archos is a different story and they havent got what tegra2 can offer for the future, so it might play alot of media's but not perfect for android at all.
Thanks for the info Dex!
Think I'm gonna get a XOOM (been drooling over some honey), then I can officially make my A7 a tinker toy!
by the way, the new 1.41 rom kicks ass, the motoblur keyboard is soo much better!
Hello all. I have a Go flex home network storage device with loads of movies in avi format. I'm trying to find a way to stream these movies from my NAS to my nexus 10 without having to convert the files. I would also like to do this when I'm on the go, so if I'm tethered from my phone to my tablet I can use that connection to stream. Does anyone know of an app or setup that can accomodate this?
I store most of my content on my PC and use EMiT to stream it to my N7 not got my N10 yet but will let you know when it arrives also mobile data in my area sucks so i cant comment there but over wifi its pretty damn flawless
Thanks for the input. Mobile data strong here in Melbourne Florida so....I'm going to check out emit. I've never heard of it. I'll let you know how it goes.
Bubbleunpnp?
Can't you use xbmc for that? I've never done it but I thought that was a big thing with xbmc
Edit: yes grab xbmc from here http://xbmc.org/download/ you should be able to pick up your nas
App: BS Player is able to see your Nas file structure and plays almost all video codecs.
All of these are viable options but I'm not too network savvy and they don't have a lot of support for help. EMit looked the easiest to set up, and I actually got it connected, but the playback is incredibly slow. I got xbmc on the tablet, but I can't seem to connect to the network drive. I can't figure out what port the nas is using. Simply an lost trying to configure bsplayer. I'm going with xbmc for the moment, gonna google around and see what I can find. I'll post what I find.
With Bsplayer just go to menu and click LAN mode... It should scan and find you nas... Forgot about this one
Got BS Player working on my home network. Gave up on xbmc, it seemed to only work on home network. I'm trying to get it off mobile data. Still playing with BS player....
Oooh I didn't realize you were trying to get it off mobile data... Can't help ya there bro lol good luck
That's what I get for speed reading the OP lol
Thanks....does anyone know much about samba?
All I know is ES explorer will pick up anything that is using the samba protocol...
Yeah, I noticed that. I know I tried to download it, and I don't seem to be able to find an already compiled copy. Just to source to compile myself, which I don't know how to do. I know I'm missing something. There has got to be a way to stream music and movies from an nas to this thing. What really sucks is that nas came with an app on the market (goflex access), but I was broke by 4.2.2 and is no longer supported as the device is no longer manufactured.
I'm going to bed. More work on this tomorrow.

Several apps come with their own SAMBA/CIFS drivers for accessing that type of network share.
1) The fore mentioned ES File Explorer
2) XBMC (I have been using the ARM7 HW accelerated experimental version)
3) Mizuu - Movies & TV shows
4) MovieBrowser UPnP/DLNA
If you require native Samba/CIFS support for Android 4.2.2 things are a lot trickier due to multi-user support. You require a Custom ROM. Here is an explanation and a custom ROM with that capability built in.
