Is this a stoopid question?
Is it possible to stream music/vids/pics from my pc to my htc excalibur?
If so could someone please inform me how this is achievable (step by step if possible as I am a bit of a spaz!)
thanks in advance dudes

The only way I'm aware of is using the SlingPlayer from www.slingmedia.com. There's a product called the Slingbox that can be hooked to your television or PC and will transmit streaming media to your mobile device. It's not free though.
thanks. was hoping for some sort of app such as vlc for the pc.

you can do it free with orb
There is a free addon to all versions of xp called media connect. It is also installed automatically with WM player 11 as well as vista. It will add UPnP support to your HOME network therefore you can stream software to things like your xbox 360, my nokia n800 tablet, or your dash with pocket player. UPnP is amazing on my n800 it should be just as good on the for pay pocket player. Media connect is totally free, and pocket player has a demo out.
I didn't like Orb very much, with my large collection it was kinda hard to find things. But it certainly works and also of course you can access it over the internet.
thanks to everyone. i got it sorted now thanks

Guys anyone know of a good UPNP/DNLA client for windows mobile?
Would be fantastic
bump bump, please someone reply if you know it.
Bump indeed
Somebody must have a upnp server in home and using a winmo device to access
The i900 (Omnia) looks like it's the only WM device that has DLNA certification and it's as a media server. I'm not sure if it can also be used as a controller/renderer.
My old S60 N95 had DLNA certification as a media server but could also act as a controller and worked as a renderer for some formats.
The only working one I know of and use is the Network plugin for the Pocket Player media player. The plugin is not included in the standard edition, but a free download. It enables you to access your media server over Wifi. I use TwonkyMedia as media servers on my Vista desktop PC and on my Linux NAS (network harddisk).
The Coreplayer people for a long time now promise UPnP support in Coreplayer, but have not delivered yet.
Pocket Player works great for audio, but is there anything out there for video as well?
hey, try this and see if you can make it works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629247
It seems that Videolan is searching for developpers, but i'm not able to, so i allow myself to join another thread in another forum, maybe someone could make something ??

Hi guys,
No one is interrested or I have posted in the wrong section ?
Thanks

VLC has been trying for some time to get on Windows Mobile. It needs to happen. An open source video player would be one of the best additions to WM software.
he really miss a player for windows mobile.
TCPMP no longer fit for our machine can not handle hardware acceleration.
I find it really unfortunate that it was not 1 player worthy of Windows Mobile. same core player does not pay can handle certain codecs.
i fully agree with mancukya
the hardware is getting more advance but the software is playing catch-up
vlc is my fav on all platforms, i use it on my pc and my mac
to get it on my winmo phone would be a blessing (i dont want to pay for something like coreplayer which doesnt support that many types of codecs)
So there is no one who can help the Videolan's Team to port VLC on Windows Mobile ?
There is a VLC media player for winmo for a while now, but it is very bad and not really working. whats your problem with coreplayer?!
it's just that my provider offer us a service, that permit us to show the TV via videolan and it's doesn't work with coreplayer....
Hi guys
I have recently come from the Windows mobile systems to Android (because WP7 is kack), I used to log into my Windows Home Server and stream movies from it to my phone using WebGuide.
This method doesn't seem to work on Android, does anyone know of any applications for Android or Windows Home Server which will allow me to do this again?
Most movies are home made and have been converted to .mp4 or .wmv formats but I do have a couple of .avi movies too.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Terry
I have had luck with the mp4 streaming server from the tools4movies website. Streams well over wifi and will do 3G if the quality is reduced enough. It might suit most of your needs
Never found an Android app and was considering a Windows 7 phone since it is supposed to work well with WHS V2, I have decided to stick with Android.

If you can install VLC player on your server, you can watch your movies with VLC S&C Free app for your DHD. You can play anything with that - mp4, avi, wmv, mkv... you name it.
This is probably old news now but for anyone who wants to know, I finally found an app that works.
It's called Subsonic, it works on port 4040 on your media center/WHS box and streams perfectly for music and video - it doesn't say that it supports video as it was originally designed just for music but it works impressively none the less.
Subsonic also has a trick up its sleeve which allows you to watch live tv directly from your tv tuner, from what I can tell this only works from Media Centre machines itself with a HD Homerun box which allows TV over IP.
I hope this helps anyone who comes across this article.

What media server is subsonic connecting to? I can't get it to see twonky
None, it just sits on my Windows Home Server and streams my personal music and movies directly.

I wanted to use MX player/BS player with PS3 Media server but the damn media server won't transcode for me for some reason. I'm looking for any other suggestions for programs that don't have some small file limit and that i could use that will transcode all the file formats for me on my PC and stream it to my android. Any suggestions. I've tried so many Air Play it etc that I'm almost out.
Try RemotePotato
Try using Remote Potato on your PC with Windows Media Center (or even if you don't have it). It supports on the fly transcoding and has clients for Android and IOS platforms. I regularly watch MKV's (mostly soccer, sometimes movies) on both platforms and it's pretty solid. All the links and "how-to's" is on remotepotato dot com .
I too searched forever for something - God bless the developer, he really is onto something.

Im confused...how does remote potato allow me to take blu ray/hd movies I have ripped to my hard drive and transcode them into a less network streams over the network? I'm looking at Remote Potato now and there are no specific transcode options
save yourselves a long night by
1. turning off igmp proxy on your fios routers
2. turn off firewall during all of this
3. for the android: some combniation of mediahouse remote media serviigo es file explorer mx player, vplayer (8mb buffer)
4. for pc transcoding some combination of ps3media server (beautiful and ideal if it works, but buggy with no support), remote potato, servioo
For devs I tried to test the stream and connection with planet earth...the intro is high in bitrate
tomorrow im gonna decide what to keep and what to toss based on what works with my ps3

what are you using on your android to watch? i like remote media except for the fact it won't let me 'favorite' certain directories...kind of a pain to get to my desktop by browsing through c->users.....planet earth.

If you have Tk's walkman app, you can use dlna to stream music from phone to windows media player. Have a look here http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&s...xYHACw&usg=AFQjCNFH62C5C2o2rLmqxnHcqEzQbPz_IA
