Live TV channels on PocketPC Media are now embedded in pocket internet explorer.
When you select a tv channel, it will no longer open in windows media player; instead, the selected channel starts playing directly in pie.
This only works on wm6 devices.
(If you click the link on a wm5 device or a desktop pc you will still be redirected to the "wm 5 version" page, where the tv channel still opens in windows media player.)

If this works well, we will also update the other content categories for embedded streaming.
Getting: "Cannot play any items in the playlist. For additional info on the Now Playing screen select an item and then press Menu >Error Details...
where do you get this error message...in wmp or pie?
If you have a wm6 device the channel start streaming in pie....wmp will not open.
It happened a few times, but generally I have it working. Weird that I got that error.
I have the same error sometimes when I switch from wlan to gprs/umts connection.
Usually a soft reset helps.
works for me on my 8525 with CUSTEL Ultimate. kind of choppy. animal planet works so far
This works for me on vp3G 2.0 RTM. Very neat site.
Second that. Very nice site. Simple and very good content selection. Video is very choppy on Edge on ATT but on a better connection it is fine.
Very nice, this is how I like to see TV content presented on a mobile device..

After many players and playing around I finally got MobileTv working I installed wm6 from
midget_1990_v0_1_vanilla_wm6.rar to see what it's like and it has streaming player v2.0 build in and it works straight out of the box.
Just go to the three.net.au page navigate to MobileTV and then BBC IE then passes the stream onto streaming player.
I know there is few other people on three with Jasjar's trying to get this to work.
That's fantastic news! I assume you have to connect to 3services prior to clicking on the Links?
Does all content work? I'm particularly interested in the cricket
Do you have to activate a content subscription to demo the services?
Thanks for your advice.
Hi,
Unfortunately not all live tv works I have found all streams that are in the following format and end with .sdp work fine.
rtsp://10.188.32.243:554/broadcast/mobiletv3BBC1.sdp
But the streams that are in the following format time out.
rtsp://st.three.net.au/req1.0?SrcType=archive&SrcName=3e/mtv/co/vid/CNAWF_6618sec_20070119_vidiator_cartoonnetwork1.3gp&CustID=FRkaeo4&Offset=2633S
They get the following error:
"Server or data time out; tap to Play to reconnect"
But of course tapping does not work I have found BBC and SBS to work quite well. I guess it's a little step further then what I was before.
Do you have to activate a content subscription to demo the services?
No you can pay 50c per 2mins to test it or you can sign up for a monthy pass.
anyone know of any free TV streaming program for us to watch the cricket on PDA??
That would be great..
Right now I just get the highlights listening to BBC Five Live on my way to and from work..
If you have a TV card in your PC and can connect to your pc remotely over the web, you can use:
http://www.umediaserver.net
Works well, and you can change channels remotely using the TVChannelChanger asp page.
slingbox or orb

I came across this page a while back... it has a load of TV and Radio stations listed... some of the channels work... and some don't!

PocketPC Media
try http://www.pocketpcmedia.com
They seem to have a lot of live tv channels, movie previews and other streaming videos.
check out orb.com and this thread which has a bunch of streaming links. live TV on HSDPA
I tried to search for it so I'm sorry if this is a repeat...
Has anyone else tried Orb streaming service. I think it's the best thing I've found since my WM6 Rom and of course it's free and requires no new install on the phone.
Once you download an app to your computer to allow it to stream media out, you can access media on your computer over the web. This isn't a new concept, but the thing that stands out for me is the fact that it works great with the hermes - streaming stored videos, pictures, and music from the PC (among other things)
If you have a TV tuner on your computer it's even better. It will let you watch live TV or previously recorded TV. It will even let you schedule a recording from the phone if you forgot while you were at home (albeit - not through WMC rather their own, but they usually play nice).
My only recomendation is to lower the expected stream speed to 40 or 80 kbps at the bottom of mobile website to eliminate chopiness. Also, if you have a media player other than WMP on the phone - make sure the stream goes to WMP (it works well in there)
i have been using it for a couple years, and its great for live tv and i have a few hundred divx movies on my harddrive that i can stream and its free!
Yes, it is a very nice program. I've been using it for a while, too. It even supports webcams. Probably one of the best programs I've ever used.
I just wish it was able to skip commercials on a recorded tv program or skip to a point in a recorded TV show...
yeah it is a great service! i've been using it even before i got into winmo (which was in '03!!)
GreyGabe, edit the comercials out on your pc with a vid editing software...
same here, using it for years. first started to stream with it on my MPX220 (non-edge) and i was blown away then. About to stream one of my shows in an hour or so at work....
Just for live TV, have a decent computer. after i did an upgrade to a better processor and ram, the streams coppyness/buffering almost dissappeared. Also, having something better than DSL helped a lot too...
Hi all,
Sorry if this seems lazy, I've done a bit of searching and could really use a couple of tips on which direction to go:
Touch HD, using streaming media app or coreplayer, looking to stream music and video to my mobile, NOT on home wifi.
On home PC i've got videolan / vlan and winamp, which runs Orb through Winamp Remote (I'm having problems getting winamp remote working, but that's for another forum). Looking at vlan stream setup, it wants me to tell it the IP for the PC i'm going to stream to, and the port.
The streaming media app on the phone wants the URL of the rtsp srteam it's connected to. If I put my mobile's IP into vlan at home and tell it to stream, nothing seems to happen (port left at 1234). If I open streaming media on the mobile and point it to my home PC & port 1234, it says invalid URL.
Basically, I don't have a clue what I'm doing and I'm hoping someone has a link to a guide, or can suggest the way to go about it, or even explain/link to the principles - do I aim the stream at the phone or at an intermediary where I can then also aim the phone to pick it up?
All help much appreciated!!
Cheers

OK, done some more research, read around some more, and went with Orb. If anyone else is in the same place I was in the post above:
1. goto orb.com and download the software, install it, set it up.
2. open IE on your mob & goto http://mycast.orb.com
3. save the resultant page as a favorite
4. put your login deets in and away you go. When you select stuff by browsing through the menus it'll load any played files in windows media player by default.
OK Peeps,
Someone in Coolexe’s rom thread asked me what DLNA was and how to use it. As I couldn’t point them straight to a guide I thought I’d better write one. Plus I’m sure some of you don’t even know what it is!
From Wikipedia:
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard used by manufacturers of consumer electronics to allow entertainment devices within the home to share their content with each other across a home network.
So what can I use my Desire for in the world of DLNA?
1. Stream movies you have stored on your phone wirelessly to a DLNA compatible TV/device
2. Stream music you have stored on your phone wirelessly to a DLNA compatible TV/device
3. Show pictures you’ve taken on your phone wirelessly to a DLNA compatible TV/device
4. Stream movies/music/pictures wirelessly from a DLNA compatible device to you phone
Before I go into details about using DLNA I’ll give you a quick overview of what kit I’ve got that makes it all possible. Firstly, I’ve got a Synology NAS which is DLNA compatible (other brands exist!) and stores all my media files. Secondly I’ve got a Windows Media Centre 7 PC hooked up to my main TV. And thirdly a HTC Desire, this must be running a Gingerbread rom with Sense. I mostly use Robo’s roms which have been working a treat but have been trying out some others recently but with mixed results, hopefully we can get these issues ironed out though.
So to be able to send media to my TV the first thing I need to do is turn on media streaming in Media Player. Hit the Stream button and choose Turn On Media Streaming. The default settings are fine so you can keep them. Next hit the Stream button again and choose Allow Remote Control Of My Player. Now you need to grab you Desire, make sure it’s connected to you WLAN and from the Apps menu click on Connected Media and choose the type of media you want to send. You should then be prompted to select the player, choose the player you’ve just setup in Windows. If you’re not prompted there’s a little button in the bottom right, just above the full volume icon, click it. Bingo, your chosen media will then be streamed to the computer and in my case the TV that’s connected to it.
Next up the more exciting bit, and the bit I use the most, streaming from my NAS to my Desire. Different NAS boxes will have different ways to enable DLNA but on my Synology it was just a matter of clicking on the box that turns that feature on and storing media in the shares it created. On your phone in the Apps menu choose the Video app. Click the button in the bottom left, the one with 3 parallel lines, you should end up at the Albums menu. Scroll along the strip at the bottom to Connected Media where it should search you network a DLAN devices. Select the device you want to stream from and you’ll be present with the DLNA folders on you NAS. Drill in through the folders to the movie or music you want played on your Desire, kick back and enjoy!
Over the weekend I’ll try and get some screen shots added, pictures say a millions words, and see if I can reword the guide to make it simpler to follow. Just wanted to get something up quick to help a fellow member out.

nicely explaned, thanks for the tuto,
i've just checked my tv, i think i might need an RS lead or something to connect it to my laptop, problem is tv is too far from where the lapy is, but i got another solution , my satellite box (spiderbox) can be setup as a home stream server,did it from this guide http://cccam-exchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=509 it has got that feature cos i've set it up and connected already to an external server to watch the europeen leagues footie it's plugged to BT Hub, i think all i need is a wifi bridge to the sat box to save me putting the laptop by the tv, as i'm using it,don't want a long lead,gets in the way , i'll do bit of reading on that, to set it up and see when get time.
however i did plug the phone to sat box via usb (mounted), (satbox is PVR ready) , accesed the whole sd card content.using the satbox remote ,never knew that before till when this DLNA subject popped up, opened up a new feature for me.
cheers.

Robos latest test rom. Its got to be running gingerbread and sense.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Video resolution is low. And i guess VLC stream & convert is more suited to me. So i'll mainly use this for audio. Thanks for the solution. Easiest method that I found to stream music from my computer to my phone.
