So on my cavalier, this is weird...
When I am on a data connection, (GPRS, HSDPA, etc) I am able to stream videos just fine from youtube or any other video site, works great...
but when I am on wifi, I always get the error message "Failed to find network" and can't stream any videos, any ideas how I can fix that?
Thanks guys!
Found the answer in another section. Mods please feel free to delete this post if you like.

I am using realplayer to stream bbc radio over my wifi network to MDAIII with no problems.

You are? I get an error message after install reminding that the Realplayer version installed may not work with current version of 2003?
Which version Realplayer you using 1.0 / 1.1 ? And also what network settings do you have 802.11B?
If I enter the URL of the Live broadcast (.ram) into Realplayer Open Location - error 'Incorrect or malformed protocol' pops up.
Please do tell how you have it working
thanks
hi all
ok i think ive sussed it.
make sure you have the latest version of realplayer.
goto the bbc.co.uk site as normal click on 'radio 1' (or whatever)
then click on 'listen' when the page loads you cant hear anything right?
go down the page a little and click on 'listen using stand alone realplayer'
you will be asked to download **.ram to my documents click ok and it will connect you and start realplayer.
some bbc stations use windows media player as well just click on 'listen using stand alone media player'
hope this helps

yes, that's it
Hi
Thanks it works a treet, i save the *.ram to my storage card, and put a short cut on my start menu now all i do is tap the link on the start menu to listen to the radio......
hey, thanks guys, got it.
I thought I may make a contribution if you are interested. I have a nice collection of free themes which look great on the MDA3.
go here, http://www.skigb.talktalk.net/forum/page00.htm browse and let me know your comments. I will post this as a new thread in Blue Angel forum.

Is there even a version of realplayer for windows mobile?? I have just been hunting on real.com and cant even find a player!
Nigel
this one works for me:
http://www.real.com/realmobile/download.html
-check out posts above to get it working

Hmm
OK, got the player, could not see it before! Have downloaded r1live.ram from the beeb, tapping that starts real1player, which seems to connect to the site (displays connecting) then it says 'loading' for ages, before timing out with an error: 'Response or data from server timed out'.
I am using it on WiFi, no ports are blocked, and it works fine from a PC (also connected via wifi).
Any idea's?
Nigel
your player seems setup ok. i would suggest it is your connection. can you load the beeb site ok in a browser? are you far from your wifi transmitter?
Works on a laptop from the same location, so I dont think its the network. I have tried it while next to the AP
Nigel
i would start a new thread with the problem
hi all,
I have bepe´s rom installed and when i try to connect to mobile youtube (wifi connection) the htc streaming player opens, tryies to connect to the server and after a short while i get an error message: time out. this happens to all videos on youtube. all other internet connections work fine.
Does anybody else have the same problem? or a solution for this problem (if the problem is not youtube it self)?
Cheers
Jarvis
I have the same problem but also had it on an other ROM....sorry...don't remember which of the 3 other.
On www.treocentral.com also has a thread about this problem...a lot of treo users can't view the videos. Could youtube be the problem?
Found that if you go on opera and go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer it works!!!
as quoted here.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/where_to_get_iplayer/
you dont need flash it uses the video player app on Touch HD, says it works for Xperia users too and Omnia!!!
have fun, ohh you can do the following
CATCHUP
WATC LIVE TV
LISTEN TO LIVE RADIO
I don't know about anybody else.... but I already knew this! I've been using Iplayer on my Touch HD since Christmas (when I got my Touch HD).
The problem, still, is that you need wifi... you can't use your Data Connection!
I'm still having trouble. From the other threads I think a few people still do.
I've tried several times. No luck. It opens in the video player but then just hangs on "connecting".
Now that the blackstone is supported there shouldnt be any need to change the user agent... but still?

Same thing happens with mine anyone out there got any ideas?
sorry i only just found this out have been watching ot through skyfire lol. i was impressed with both
My understanding is iPlayer works only on 3 and vodafone over their network at the moment. I've used it with 3 no problems.
^ True, but it should work over wifi no matter what network you use.
In my case and others, the Touch HD can't deal with Iplayer via wifi out the box.
Those of you having problems over wifi might find the problem is nothing to do with the BBC or the Touch, but your router/firewall. I have two wifi networks in my house - one is within my network behind the gateway/firewall PC and another is right at my broadband modem (in the DMZ).
Connecting directly through the broadband modem means I can watch the iPlayer no problem, but if I'm behind the gateway then the HD's streaming app can't connect. I haven't bothered to investigate which ports I need to open in the gateway to make it work within the network but I assume it must be possible.
Hope this helps suggest a pointer for investigation.
are you sure its the main site and not this one: www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer

it doesn't matter if you type in bbc.co.uk/iplayer, it redirects you automatically to the mobile version.
I get: "Please switch to Wifi to play this programme.".
I'm from the Netherlands and use the Vodafone network, how can i resolve this problem?
i am on T-mobile uk, and i also get pls switch to wifi, thing is.... if you was near wifi, your probably at home, use the pc to watch iplayer lol. Guess theres always the usefulness for the toilet lol
I have the same problem where it hangs on connecting,
i've seen a video of it running but the media player the guys using isn't
the standard pvplayer that comes with the touch hd out of the box.

everyone keeps saying this but it's not on mine. is it somewhere on my system? i've looked through every executable and it's like my touch hd
didn't come with the standard software.
That media player is not the default one that opens when I try to use Iplayer either. Mine has less and smaller icons. They're circles too. Not Square.
If the problem is with the router/firewall, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
The youtube player works perfectly over both wifi and 3g. I also have Gremote working fine... both of which require connections to the PC..?
Not working no more
I NEED HELP. i had bbc iplayer working for couple of months now. and suddenly when i want to watch something i get an error. i can go on the site, that loads up perfectley www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer yeah that loads up fine. but when i go down and click on drama or comedy, i get an error saying check server snd url. it worked b4 and its not working now. im obviously using it through wifi.
HELP PLEASE!
Hi all,
Just thought I'd fill people in with my experiences with the lovely Touch HD and the BBC. I guess you all already know about the Opera settings edit "sgh-i900" (to get BBC to stream). Ok that’s good, but when I leave the house and try to stream I need Wifi! What a pain in the proverbial!
Anyway, turns out whilst at home and streaming BBC stuff I noticed a file which is held in \windows\opera9\tmpdownload\. Whist the streaming app is running copy the sdp file to your card, then zip it up, turn off wifi and the streaming app. Use winrar on HD to access the zip file (I use winrar as it executes the file immediately). Hey presto! Your chosen BBC content while you're on the move.
BTW, each time you run a sdp file and then close the streaming app the file disappears, hence the zip file to have a backup of your content. This
works with all BBC streaming media. I even use it for the radio as I don’t always get FM signal. Just played a random programme which is the better quality stream (not live) with HSDPA and 2 bars, streamed perfectly.
Attached a few sdp's for you to save a bit of hassle. The n95 one is a watch again so it won't work forever I don't think. They are txt files but when downloaded just change the txt to sdp.
BTW, WMP on HD streams BBC radio too, here are some example url's
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/wm_asx/aod/radio1_hi.asx
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/tx/nb/live/www17.asx
I searched the forum about this stuff (HD only) and didn't find anything, I hope I haven't repeated something from before!
Cheers,
Flook
Good work! I started a thread a while ago requesting something like this.
See "[REQ] Work Around for BBCi Player - Wifi Only Issue"
Got some interest from people but not from any developers
I am not to bothered now as I have invested in a slingbox but there will be others that be wanting this solution
Thanks Richardirv! Love the sling box solution, my mate went to work in Sweden for a while and he watched sky out there. Brilliant.
It is very good I love it, will be perfect when the mobile phone networks get better HSDPA coverage!!
I hope your solution works well for everyone too.
Hi, i use VM Net Browser to see files into my PC, and i'd like to play musics or movies from PC into my HD. But when i start the playing music, so the music is very often stopping .
musis 128KBPS

Do someOne know how to play music or movie without stopping effect??

If you want to stream MP3/Video/Pictures/TV from a PC to Mobile then Orb is great. Works over the internet (and HSPDA if your network supports it) while automatically transcoding your files to an appropriate bitrate depending on your connection speed.

You have the same problem like anyone else with the Touch HD.
Most people just dont realize it. I started a topic about this, but got no help with that.
