skigb

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

Hi
I would like to do this aswell.

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
Regards
The Pilgrim

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
skigb

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

Has anyone actually found a use for 'Streaming Media' app?

So, does anyone use it? i haven't been able to find any rtsp:// feeds...

You can stream media from your PC to your pda using VLC media player.

but what does the app called 'Streaming Media' do?

if u dont mind.. can u pls... tell us how to stream video from pc (vlc ) to the PDA???
steps will be gr8...

A typical use of HTC Streaming Media Player would be: e.g. you're browsing through www.youtube.com (or redirected to m.youtube.com) with PIE. When you click on any video image icon there, PIE will automatically start SMP, and you will be able to watch the selected video file on its window, without the need to download it to your mobile device. You could watch it fullscreen too.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!

I'm using the Internet Explorer on my WM5 Artemis, and when i go to www.m.youtube.com and click on a video, it just opens in Streaming Media app works well!

is the "m" in the web address important? Cause I have never heard of this type of address.

Streaming
It also works very good on my exec using 3G connection, Youtube I mean, but in full screen mode picture is agly enough of cause. After Stop it comes back slowly.

rtsp://link
I don't now if this tread is dead, but I will post anyway.
I use the rtsp:// for connecting to live streaming cameras.
I have one at my house that will email me if someone rings the door bell or the alarm goes off.
I can then connect to the camera thru a web browser if i'm at my computer, and talk to them thru the camera. If i'm out and about i can stream to the camera with my htc. I can even here what they are saying if there talking. THe camera i'm using is a VIVOTEK IP7151, http://www.vivotek.com/products/cameras/network_camera_ip7151.html
THere is a link for a live demo. If you connect with your phone the link would be rtsp://60.248.39.146/live.sdp or
rtsp://60.248.39.151/live.sdp or
rtsp://60.248.38.147/live.sdp
Sometimes there on, you might have to connect 2 or 3 times.

I've never managed to get anything from Youtube to work on it. Maybe it's a O2 thing.

TCPMP Streaming issues!!!

Hey guys im having a problem that makes absolutely no sense. I am trying to use tcpmp to stream video over edge/lan and NOTHING WORKS. All i get is MMS Protocol no supported when i have it checked along with http and everything else. I tried restarting my phone, NOTHING. Tried reinstalling on the sd or phone, NOTHING. I havent even heard audio without video, windows media player works but doesnt show video on edge. I dont understand this, nothing streams correctly or at all. I even overclocked and it didnt make a difference. Can someone please enlighten me because this just doesnt make any sense at all, thanks!

Ok! Go to http://mobile.ardcorp.tv using your mobile web browser. When you get to Staurn Liberty"s web site scroll down to first radiation circle sign, (it should say Saturn Liberty Device Definition TV) in the first rectangle box, click on it there and it should open your TCPMP/Player and play a up to date movie. You can do the same in the next rectangle box below that say (COSMOVISION Digital TV) it to will open also a up to date movie when you click on the rectangle box. If you are still having problem get back with me. Oh! Another thing on your TCPMP/Player make sure you have installed the two DLL codecs and that you have gone in the File Association area and check mark all the blocks. Please do not try to make a connection while your device is still connected to your PC via active sync........!

Touch Hd streaming BBC iPlayer

EDIT: Have discovered the problem is my bebox router, read post #10 for more details if you're having the same problem I did......
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Hi guys, i've been looking around for the past 2 days including searching through these forums for ages and I can't quite find the answer i'm looking for. A few threads have come close but don't really help because they're not
specifically about this problem.
I've got the Touch HD it came installed with pvplayer,
when I go to the BBC iPlayer mobile site the videos hang on the connecting screen.
I've seen a video of the htc Touch HD running Iplayer but the media player the browser links to isn't the one I have.
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=1902#comment-10175
That's the page I saw the video on.
I tried installing the Htc Streaming Media app, if i'm running that i get it
to buffer and I get audio but no video.
The toolbar also looks really small and it's garbled on the bottom right hand side of the screen. so i'm thinking I might have an old version or something.
So the question is.....
Does anyone know what player the guy in the video is using?
and if it's a different version of the Htc Streaming Media app
where can I get it.
Any help appreciated, oh and sorry if it's covered elsewhere, i've been going through these forums for ages trying to find it but all the answers seem to be relating to old hacks before the BBC started supporting the phone or people
going "runs great now" without saying what they're using to do it.
(originally posted in the general discussion by accident, no flaming please)
EDIT: I've been told by someone at wmpoweruser that it's the default player that comes with the phone, strangely I've never seen it, now i'm wondering
if there's a specific build from orange without the player. I don't want to do a hard reset to check just yet (i've spent the last week getting everything on there
that I need and I don't feel like starting from scratch)
if anyone knows of a .cab file with the "default" htc streaming app for the touch HD i'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Ive got mine from orange and it is included, and iplayer works.
I think it only works over wifi though, i could get it to work over 3g or when plugged into my PC.
Mike.

I got mine from orange too, but it hangs on the loading screen.

what player is it using to stream?
mine automatically goes to pvplayer, I can't find the htc default software anywhere.
pvplayer just stops at connecting.

Having the same problem.
iPlayer launched PVPlayer and then it just hangs on "Connecting...."
Phone from Orange also.

im on orange and it seems to work fine, still in 'Beta' tho.

Catinthehat: Does yours load up in PVPlayer or a different video player?

I get the same stuck on connecting when using m.youtube.com
(coreplayer can do it but I wanted to check the player was working)
are you using a bebox router? i've seen someone else on wmpoweruser had
the same problem, switched routers and it worked.
i'm on bebox too but don't have a spare router to check.... maybe thats
the problem.

I am using a bebox router which may be the issue.
I did manage to get audio using an old version of the HTC Streaming Media Player but no video and the menu's were all corrupt.
I'll try from different wifi

ok cool let me know how you get on.
i don't want to go buying a router just to check
EDIT:
Discovered it's almost definately the router.
i've gone back to the standard pvplayer and I think it should work without tweaks with a different router.
to explain why i think that's the case i'll explain
i had to do a few things.....
while stuck on connecting using wifi I copied the stream file from the opera tempdownload folder
to my storage card
because pvplayer will delete a temp stream from iplayer after you stop it (confused me for a bit
because i couldn't figure out where iplayer sent em and the other streams from different sites hadn't deleted themselves)
I zipped the file in a temp folder then extracted
it again so i'd keep a copy.
I turned off wifi and turned on my data connection.
I then ran the stream file with pvplayer... it got past connecting!!
buffered and started to run.... ok it stopped every 2 seconds to rebuffer for about 10 seconds so it was unwatchable
because it's meant to be a wifi quality stream and i was running on 3g but it actually got past connecting!
so it must be my bebox router not letting me connect....
interesting side note that i discovered
you can probably run iplayer without using wifi if you grab the stream file at a wifi spot
then copy the file to a different place ... probably work ok on hsdpa connection
haven't had chance to check yet. :>

You can try this.

Awesome app - still in 0.4 and a bit buggy but works in WVGA!! Best picture possible.
To stream use with tcpmp http://rghost.ru/40265 or coreplayer. Just ensure in those apps in permissions you add .mov files as assosicated otherwsie it will just download them.

thanks for the heads up just edited my last post to explain that it's almost definately my router, i've been keeping track of that iplayer app and posting back to craftyb the bugs for the touch hd
also edited my first post to explain that i've discovered the problem (probably usefull for someone, i wish more people would do the same )

ive worked out why it hangs....
its to do with ports and blocking them, at my girlfriends i connect to iplayer via wifi, (also with the pvplayer app on orange branded handset)
i need to find out which ports need to be open so i can add the app to the router, that or try get the silly router app to not be so strict!!

Hi Zooby, I can confirm that its definitely the bebox. I have the 700 series speedtouch. I disconnected it and used a friends netgear modem and could stream iplayer beautifully to my HD and Polaris. The solution apparently is to forward ports on the bebox for the hd and apply the chosen port settings to htc streaming player. I couldnt get it to work so i bought a netgear dg834gt. The dg834n works well too. If you figure out how to port forward the bebox for the Touch HD, please let us know.

i've tried a few different port ranges already, i saw someone on another thread talking about a specific range working but it didn't work for me
(the guy tried 4105 - 4125)
i've searched through forums and iplayer tech support pages for the ports iplayer mobile uses, can't seem to find them.
google is not my ally on this one.
will login to Be forums at some point see if anyone there has had the same problem.
I hope I don't have to buy a new router, I only just finished messing around with it to open up the last ethernet port to use on xbox live (for some reason the last port was reserved for other uses as standard).

I think that last port is used by Be techies when you authorise them to remote access your Bebox if you need help with a fault etc. I did search the Be forums a while back but nothing useful. I bet it's something really simple though. The problem is getting information from someone who's got it working. Someone on Be in the Uk, using a Bebox, has a pda phone and accesses iplayer(from within the UK). A bit of a tall order, i think.

yeh i know but i had an extra non wifi device i needed to put on.....
i've checked bebox forums, nobody seems to have a clue.
pretty much everyone on there is buying a different router.
i've tried a few options with the router, i just can't seem to open it up.
(changed firmware 3 times, telnet to change nat, specific ports related to the iplayer download manager... trust me... loads of things.)
i'm not gonna go buying a new router just to watch iplayer while in my house since i can do that from my pc anyway, for anyone that desperate to watch it from home on a bebox router.... buy a new router.

IS iPLAYER WORKING ANYMORE?

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!

Same problem here. I get an error about the server or file not being found...
Maybe because I don't live in the UK. When trying to acces a stream on my laptop (same wifi connection) I get:
Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only, but all BBC iPlayer Radio programmes are available to you. Why?
If you are in the UK and see this message please read this advice.
Go to Radio channels home page

BBC iplayer mobile seems to have been down for 36 hours. Main site is still working but you can't access it via mobile opera. Skyfire works though its not ideal.

YO JONNY! how the hell did u manage to get iplayer woring on skyfire. when i go the mobile site it says that the phone is not compatible. and when i go to the main iplayer site using skyfire i only get this green and black rectangular box. so how did u manage to get it working?
edit: i got it working via google. but when i click on a tv programme it says "these programmes are only available in the uk" but i am in the uk. i guess its coz the skyfire servers are overseas and some how iplayer detects that the server ip isnt in the uk. although saying that, the radio stations om iplayer work perfectly shame about the tv programmes. guys any tips on making these tv programmes work. i giess its coz skyfire is still in beta

Skyfire works fine for me on iplayer (quality is terrible though)
but it's the proper iplayer website not the mobile version.
i've also got the same problem with mobile iplayer being down....
sucks too because I just managed to find a Touch HD version of the streaming media app and wanted to see if it works.
(my orange branded phone came with a different default app)
EDIT: probably an OS or Browser specific problem, I got my mate to check iplayer on his n96 from my wifi and it works fine.

how did u get it to work on skyfire zooby? wot r ur settings and wot skyfire version r u using? and by the way iplayer mobile site is up and running

If you go to the bbc home page and follow the links to a specific programme it works. If you go directly to the /iplayer home page I get the same odd boxes.
For some reason I get the "not available in your region" on my home wifi, although my laptop works fine at the same time, but using vodafone 3G to connect I have never had any problems.
