You should use ORB. Install it on your pc and you can stream any file or video from your pc to your phone. Works like a charm overhere, so you may give it a try! Via and easy to use webinterface you can select the file you want to use. It even recodes video files on the fly to a lower bitrate so the Vario can handle the stream without a glitch.

thanks for the reply, but doesnt orb go though my internet bandwidth? i'll give it a goes though.
thank you

Viewing Podcasts on the Nike?

Hello,
I have tried searching but have not found anything within this forum, probably 'cos I am a SFU. ;¬)
Anyhow, is there a way that I can get iTunes Podcast subscription and download functionality on my HTC Nike?
I am hoping to find (or be told of) an application that I can view a catalogue of podcasts, subscribe to them, have them auto downloaded to my PC and then the next time I sync my Nike the podcasts are uploaded to my phone so that I can watch them off line (when on the train)
I use my iPod for music (easily done on the Nike) and for video podcasts and I would like to do it all via the Nike.
Any thoughts?
TIA
Cuch

also intrested of podcast.... anybody?

I have been digging around and it looks like searching under PoadCAST is not the correct thing to do. Search under PodCATCHER and you will find a few apps.
Have also discovered that I can simply copy the vid/podcasts onto my memory card and all is well.
I belive that you could go someway in doing this via Windows Media Player on your PC, but have not had enough time to dig further.

Mobile mp3 downloader

Does anyone know where I can find an Mp3 downloader for my HD? I want to be able to download songs just like you do on a regular computer. I know it can be done. My laptop for work is locked up really tight, so you can't do anything that's not work related. Thanks in advance.

Problem: Music player loses audiotracks after connecting to pc.

Anyone has this problem? Kinda annoying to have to softboot everytime after even just charging the phone...
Audiofiles show up fine in file explorer & play in media player, but HTC music player just informs "no music found".
ROM: latest MIRI.

Are you sync-ing with media player?
pls chek this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647136

no, just dropping the files to SD card. Don't want to sync my music files with any computer (almost main reason that I sold iphone.. itunes....aaarrrrgghh..)
thanks for the link, but no help..
another question; Is there a way to disable the albumart fetcher? (i always make albumarts myself..) it countlessly tries to update the arts, but does nothing (..but takes resources..)

First post, and an attempt to help after lurking here for weeks. LOL.
I had the same problem with my audio files. I'd disconnect from the PC and it would say "no files found" or some such thing. However, if I went into the library and mucked about (not sure what I did the first time. Just sorta clicked around until I saw a list of music), I would see songs on my SD card, press one of them, and, voila, my Sense Player would, once again, find all of the songs I'd downloaded to the device.
I've not used Sync, however, as I hate Itunes style appz like that (they frighten and confuse me...). I have been dragging my folders over manually. I doubt that'd make a difference, though.

I do the DIY covers myself, as a lot of my "albums" are actually compilations of tunes I like best from a particular artist rather than actual albums (ergo, no covers actually exist)! I've not had an issue with the albumart fetcher trying to connect, though. I've didn't even know it was there until I hit it by mistake while flailing about on the touchpad (coming from a G1...this thing is SENSITIVE).

This isn't just the fact that your plugging in your phone to the pc and using it as a disk drive is it?? when you do that you cant access the files on the phone..
I guess its not though as you say you can view the files in explorer...

He didnt mean it like that. He was talking about that his music disappears AFTER he had connected the device to the pc. Afterwards the tracks dont appear in the player.
I didnt have this problem with the HD2 but with the HD...never seen it since i own the HD2.

thanks Hakim but......
have that player and can't download those games straight from my phone.
I want the HTC MEDIA STREAMING app that is blue and has a volume control and quality settings.
As I have said in nearly every post ''I cant download from a computer, I can only use my phone so rabidshare n sites like that are no good to me.
The crap MEDIA STREAMER I have works with IE but I dont get the options to use it with Opera mini5.
I have a seperate post on this and nobody has bothered to answer me, all the experts either dont know or cant be ****ed to help me.
-TO EVERYBODY-
PLEASE CAN I HAVE THE CAB FOR THE HTC MEDIA STREAMER, the games would be nice but using the media streamer from opera is important to me.
Thanks for the reply Hakim, I wish the other 'experts' would try to help as you do.....
