I almost completed my post...and then i pressed my backspace key...so i can start over again
Hello,
I was wondering if there are people who are interested in watching live tv on there windows mobile phone from your pc at home...(?)
Last week i was searching for tools/progs like snapstream(stream live tv/record/schedule etc...) but it wasn't working good enough for me...
I just wanted a simple program to scan for tv channels...name them...and watch them on my kaiser...
So after a few hours programming... it worked
A moment ago i was driving my car and watching tv(350kb(its)s) on my kaiser over hsdpa / umts using my tv card in my pc at home...
The only thing i need to do is make a simple GUI that you can access on your kaiser using pocket ie/opera etc... In this webpage there will be very big buttons (for ex. CNN) so when you press this verry big button (you can't miss ) it will start CNN in TCMPM or windows media player...
(These buttons will be created dynamicly using a xml with your tv channels/freq/descriptions) so you can customize it or auto scan for channels...
Also you will be able to customize output quality...
Are there people who are interested in this? If so i'll will post some beta versions here
Let me know!
God bless!
Her are some screenshots...
You can already do this with Orb and a TV tuner on your PC:

Possibly an interesting free replacement for Sling Box.
Orb (already mentioned) is very good, and my personal favorite for watching TV is WebGuide http://www.asciiexpress.com/webguide/
Does this only support curtain tv-tuner cards? I would really love an app that works with dvb-s cards. Satillite on my phone would be 2 sweet Orb is good too but no dvb-s support
Microsoft has a free software called Windows Media Encoder that will allow you take in video streams from any source and output as a video stream or record it. It is actually very good. It does not have features to change channels though.
Hey everybody. I just got my Galaxy two days back. It's amazingly fast
However, I've been having problems with the DLNA software. I cannot get a single file to play either on the galaxy or on a pc.
I've tried three different software solutions on my server (PS3 Media Server, Tversity and FUPPES) and non of them worked and neither does streaming from the galaxy to WMP. It just says "Unable to play"
Any ideas?
Darkstriker, you are not alone, as a number of people have been having problems with DLNA. I have streaming working from one machine and not the other and yet they appear to be pretty much identitcal on the same network.
The second machine had been working, but then stopped. The only difference was an Office installation, and I cant see why that has any bearing on it.

This is not really a workable answer.... especially when you are trying to use DLNA with a TV.
I have had and continue to have problems connecting to any DLNA devices.
Basically the Galaxy S doesn't show any Media Devices in the list to choose from.
TravUK above has tried many times to help me sort this out but despite checking this, that and the other the GS just does not want to show any devices.
I managed to view video's and photo's from my iMac through DLNA, using MediaLink (PS3 UPnP server)
It didn't work with all video's, but the Samsung Galaxy S sample video's linked in another thread streamed fine.
Hi,
I've managed to get wmv's and divx avi's to play on the PS3 through allshare but can't get it to connect to the xbox 360 whatsoever. It won't play the vids captured with the phones camera and also it seems picky about exactly which version of wmv the clip has been encoded with.
Cheers,
Mike

Do you mean that you can't stream to x360 at all? or you mean the file formats, codecs?
Streaming to the x360 requires running it on extender mode.. you need to have Windows Media Center on your pc and use the code the x360 gives you to complete the set up with it.
X360 has an optional media update that will allow it to run more formats. you can find it under the videogames marketplace>Game addons.
Hiya,
I can stream\browse the phone from the PS3 directly but it's quite picky about the formats.
Can't see the phone at all on the xbox360 and couldn't see any way of locating the phone from the xbox interface although the phone can see the xbox when you try to share a clip. I was surprised that the xbox was supposed to support the phone sharing but it's been mentioned in several reviews of the galaxy s so thought I must be doing something wrong.
Cheers,
Mike

I don't know if you can push media from the x360 to SGS. The problem however doesn't seem from the SGS.. its probably the X360.
Agreed, although i'm trying to stream from the SGS to the xbox I think it's still most likely the 360 having the issues..
I'm having a similar problem. My Galaxy can see the xbox 360 but the 360 can't see it. Plsk1n, could you give a bit more detail on the steps you used to get it working?
Failing that, I may just buy the TV out cable for the phone

The Xbox doesn't come as DLNA ready device out of the box. You need to setup a Windows Media Center Environment on it and on your PC and then use the xbox360 as an extender device to the PC environment.
Note: you don't need to keep windows media center running if you want to push media to your xbox360.
Here are the steps
1- Install Windows Media Center on your PC.
2- Run the Media Center setup on your xbox 360, when you start it it will tell you to write down a code for installation with your PC... write the code down.
3- Run your Windows Media Center on your PC and go down to tasks>add extender... you will use the code you wrote from the xbox in the process.
4- Complete setting up the xbox360 as the extender then check the options/preferences to allow the x360 to accept pushed media from other devices.
On my side, the PS3 ca see my phone but I didn't manage to play anything on teh PS
I tried divx, mp3, jpeg photo and it can't play them
I can stream from my QNAP nas to the GS almost everything, except 720p HD videos (tv shows). Sometimes however the GS simply can't see the nas, even with a strong wifi signal.
I can see my MacBook Pro and my DirecTV DVR through All Share but haven't been able to get antying to download, play or stream. I'd really like to be able to download media from the DirecTV DVR and take it on the road to go.
I can see my laptop, but can't actually see any files. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? It's annoying, as I know it's probably something stupid that I am doing (like not setting up sharing properly on my lappy). I haven't even tried it the other way around (laptop streaming from phone).

Whats not being made clear is the fact that you have to BE in windows media center mode on the XBOX360 when you use allshare. What will happen is that "xbox360 media center" will show up as a device in allshare AND THEN you can push media FROM your phone TO your xbox360.

It's not working that way for me. The Xbox360 option disappears from AllShare when I'm in Media Center Extender mode on the Xbox (connected to the Media Center PC). Where are the options he's talking about? On the Xbox, or on the PC?
DNLA works fine here! not with PS3 media server but with the stock "streaming" option in windows media player! i can even control the player from my phone!
And i can see the DLNA server from my laptop!
Hi there,
I was wondering if it is possible to display movie streaming on TV via HDMI cable. I tried with Multimedia dock but it seems limited to display photo and video only from Atrix. I haven't tried music yet.
Thanks!
It may be makeshift, but if you do the webtop mod you can just expand the window of the emulated phone. Not sure how well it works tho
Stretching the mirror app in webtop mode works, sorta. The resolution and framerate suffer badly since it's not a true mirror, the phone's display is being rendered within the webtop session. Lotta extra overhead involved with that.
There's some HDMI mirroring threads in the dev section, but last I read it was only portrait mode, which isn't so hot for video playback.

Apply Webtop hack on HDMI , then once is running webtop, flip the actual view of your phone inside webtop a click enlarge. I hope it work, actual using for RDC and working

i just watched Rio last night on my TV using the HDMI included. no need to aple webtop hack or anything as it launches the entertainment center. I got options for Movies Music and Video.
at first it said unplayable then i went back to the menu and choose it again and it worked. unless im getting your question wrong it should play right.
I can also say the same for my phone - the media hub thing pops up when I plug my phone into any HDMI device (TV, monitor) and I select movie or photo or music. it was like that even before I hacked my phone, its suppose to work that way.
Or am I misunderstanding your question?

Oh, i might have misunderstood him. I thought he was trying to stream content from his atrix web browser onto the tv.
Thank you for replies folks. What I am trying to do is to display content from a movie streamer app or web browser on tv via HDMI.
I wanted to play streaming audio via HDMI. I applied the HDMI mirroring hack, but unfortunately it only seems to mirror the video, not the audio. :-(
is there any android to pc remote controller ? like next pause play for media player ?
Gmote 2.0 is good one. Works over WiFi.
there is one literally called "pc remote controller" lol it lets you see what your doing, which is good
theres also "unified remote" which is good for if your away from your computer but can still see the display. has media features, filemanager...etc, and you hav a multitouch mouse for rightclicking too.
these two, along with gmote, ive used, all through wifi. ive noticed all three tend to drop connection / difficulty connecting in the first place, thats why i had three of them, but this may have been a laptop/network/firewall issue.
(btw, all require you to install the server-side version on the pc, and be running when you want to use it.
I use itap mobile touchpad. Works great and offers gestures for two fingers for scrolling and stuff.
It also has a menu thing for volume and player control with pause play mute and stuff. I'm happy with it
Unified remote is pretty good especially because it has a whole range of remotes for various programs

I would recommend you XBMC!!!
It's a media center that can be controlled with any android device and play almost every kind of media that I know (mp4, mkv, avi, divx... It even plays img, iso and many more)
Give it a try!!
I use phone my pc. My computer on my phone and I control everything like I'm sitting at my desk. If anyone wants it I will up the apk. Let me know.

Off topic i know but thanks for the tip on XMBC, looks like a good replacement for Media Center and has phone remote control built in; off to install after work. Thanks
I was wondering is there any aplication/concept for aplication that makes PC work as a "cloud" or stream video feed to my mobile phone via WLAN ?
I googled and did quick forun search and could only find aplications that allow you to control your PC, not see video feed.
This could be realy cool App, especialy since Onlive doesnt support some of the older (and free) games and isnt even available in every country.
CrazyRemote is able to control the PC at a very high framerate, which allows watching videos and even playing games remotely. If that's not what you're looking for, look for an app to stream from VLC

Wow, thats what i was looking for
Now i need to figure out is there a way to use Xplay controls (touch pads too)
If not, well thats too bad then.
Not exactly sure what you're trying to do but apart from the aforementioned crazyremote, check out teamviewer and vlc direct. maybe what you're looking for.
OnLive basically can do the functionality if you just want to play games. There is also an upcoming service from them called OnLive Desktop which is a whole Windows 7 desktop environment which allows for high framerate video streaming, flash, browsing, actual MS Office document edition in MS Office, etc.
Also, Nvidia was touting a new tech that would work with Tegra3 devices (not ours, I know, but on topic none-the-less) that would use the GPU to compress and decompress the input and audio/video stream to and from the computer to allow remote game playing or any other function.
Beyond that, framerates and others would depend on the technology, overhead, and speed of connection. You could use RDP (SplashViewer, etc) or whatnot. Most of this is not fully feasible for twitch games or suchnot, but okay for turn-based or some RPGs or whatever.
If all you want is just Video (like you have tons of .MPG, .MP4, etc) and audio streaming over the air (I assume by WLAN you mean cellular data and not WiFi) from your machine, you can try ORB. It takes a little setting up on the server end, but works nicely. There are a dozen little services that can be set up on your computer (especially if it is Linux). You just need to open that particular machine and the app's port to the DMZ (or internet directly) and then use a local app or your browser on your phone/tablet to reach it and view your stuff. If I remember correctly, ORB can even auto-downsize videos on the fly to match closer to your phone's viewing specs, and/or bandwidth.
If you mean WiFi, any DLNA source can work. You can even make your computer a DLNA source if you have Windows Media Center or one of a dozen other apps that can do it. Then you just have to get an app that can pull DLNA sources (I think Mobo can, as well as a number of others). Certain routers can also have a USB stick or USB hard drive plugged into them and use that as storage to present across the network as a DLNA source.
