XBMC is not Microsoft certified device [Solution] - Raspberry Pi General

I'm creating this thread just to share the solution of my problem.
The problem was:
I installed Windows 8.1 today and I was happy to find that there is a new Metro application for playing audio files. I was even more happy when I saw the ability to stream from that application ("Play") to a local DLNA Renderer.
Unfortunataly even that "Play" was able to find XBMC on my network, I couldn't sent music to it. It said something like "XBMC is not Microsoft certified device".
SO I started searching the net and found a simple way to get around this problem. It is needed to add one registry key in windows and that's all. The solution is available for all kinds of UPNP renderers which are not certified by Microsoft.
Enjoy!

does real player really works?

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-...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.

Streaming WMC to WM6??

I'm trying to find solutions to streaming my Windows Media Center content to my Windows Mobile 6.1 Diamond via wireless web. There seems to be ways to do it, but am having troubles getting it setup. Currently I'm trying WebGuide 4, but it doesn't want to load on Opera Mini or IE.
Anyone have any luck with this platform or any other ideas on how to do this?? Specifically I'd like to stream recorded video from my home desktop.
Thanks

[Help] Another Streaming app for Android :p

Hi,
I'm trying to developper my first app for Android. As I already have a database which contains all my media, and a web site to list them (with a search utility and even a kind of remote to control VLC from another computer), I tried to port that web site to my android app. (Yes I know, i could just rewrite the site to fit with my android screen... But that's a pretext to create my first app).
So far, i can list my medias in a SQLite database, which is synchronised with my server. I download the media arts...etc. The remote also works good. That's fine.
But i wonder if i could stream my media to my phone too? Not just remotly launch them on my TV? Now, I'd like to launch them on my android. So here we are, i configured VLC well and i can stream my medias in the LAN, on my phone... But not outsire the lan.
That's a common question. I found it several times in google, but no answers. So i asked on videolan forum why I could'nt stream out the LAN? They said that it's the client that choose the ports where VLC streams the media. That's the point : I don't know how to configure the stream ports in android!
Any one know that?
Many thanks.
P.S. I'm french, and I don't speak very well I think . Please forguive me and ask if you want more informations!
P.S.2 the videolan forum where I asked my question :
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=82192
i use orb for all my media streaming to m evo.try it.you can stream anything with it and more...its free. google it make sure check orb classic ...
Tanks for your answer.
But my problem is not to find another solution, I'd like be able to say "i have it working" and you must know that my server, which contains my media, is under ubuntu. And orb doesn't work under Linux so far. I'm trying jinzora but I really would like to have my solution with vlc to work. As it work on LAN, I think I'm close to the solution. I only need to Know how to change default streaming port under Android client...
Thanks again.

[Q] Want a DLNA servers for windows to play stuff from my desire hd

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a DLNA server for windows that runs in the background (pref as a service) - and requires NO interface on the computer ... until i play something to it... then have it open fullscreen on my machiene?
Just it annoys me that i have to have windows media player up and running for my device to see the computer. And when i open WMP i need to make the player fullscreen (and i cannot even do this w/o playing a file 1st).
Anyone know of software that would be suited?
Thanks
Kris
I think you might have your terminology a bit mixed up. It sounds like what you're after is a DLNA 'client' rather than a server.
The way I see it, the server is what serves the videos, i.e. the host of the files you want to play. The client is what plays them remotely.
Unfortunately I don't know of anything that will do it in the way you want - but maybe looking for a client might help your quest.
XbMC will probably do what you want it to HOWEVER! if you are wanting to stream to the DHD you might have to set up a server that transcodes the file on the fly to your required file type i think nero home will do this ....use google

[Q] Xbox Video Can't Play Purchased Content

I recently started using Xbox Video for purchasing my content. It was working perfectly up until a few days ago, when I started getting this error:
"Can't Play.
Can't Play. Check with the maker of your computer's video card to see if there's a new driver available.
more info
Tell Microsoft about this problem
0xc00d1053 (0xc0262500)"
It makes no sense, the videos work fine in Zune (although audio's a little out of sync), and perfectly on my Xbox 360. I've tested this on two different computers, I get the same error message. I tried it on another Microsoft account, same thing. I'm using the most updated drivers, and I've tried reinstalling them. I've tried reinstalling the app, deleting all downloaded video files, using Microsoft's tool to try to detect issues with Metro apps, and nothing's worked.
This leads me to believe that it's either an issue with my home network or with the Xbox Video service itself. I can't think of any other explanation why it would happen on two different machines and two different, unassociated accounts.
I have a thread on Microsoft Answers, but of course no one's answered. What I'd really appreciate is for someone else to try to test this out.
Thanks.
UPDATE: Just tried it on a separate network, so I don't think its a local network issue any more. I'm using an AMD Radeon HD 5770, with the latest 64-bit Windows 8 Catalyst Control Center from http://www.amd.com.
Still seeing this issue after several days. Hasn't anyone else seen this?

I have always had this issue but I have only purchased one movie through Xbox. I can tell you for certain that Microsoft is using a new DRM scheme for movies and subscription music that is not backwards compatible. i.e. if I download music in Zune with my Pass it works in Xbox Music but not the other way around.
Sad because the Music and Video apps suck. I would have preferred to see a touch-friendly Zune-style app instead.
