I was able to watch online tv with my old phone (wm5) without any problems but with my touch hd streaming seems slow now and there are delays. Is there a way to improve this by changing the settings under network tab of wmp? All the boxes for UDP, TCP and HHTP are ticked and UDP Port is set to 0. The only thing I changed was set to connection speed to WiFi and the 'Detect connection speed' box underneath is also checked.
I also tried Streaming Media program, coreplayer and pocketplayer but none of them work with this drm protected stream I want to watch so if anyone knows any other way to watch it besides wmp, I'd like to give that a try also...

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.
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.

I have been wrestling with this all day and I hope someone who has this setup can shed some light on it for me. I wanted to run Darwin Streaming Server on my dedicated box and stream video files to my phone. I got Darwin up and running no problem and can successfully stream with the rtsp protocol to quicktime on my home desktop.
The issue is no matter what file I try to get the Evo to play it just says "Media Type not supported" I have done my research and made sure the files were compatible (allegedley) using h264 and aac lc as the codecs as well as hinting them. I tried with Super/Quicktime/linux ffmpeg all to the same end. The files play fine from the sd card. Even the default array of samples included with DSS didn't stream (even after hinting them). I have tried .mov,.mp4, and .3gp just for good measure with no success.
I am running Fresh's latest (0.3) and having no issues with it if it makes a difference.
This is driving me crazy as it should be playing the files....any advice or insight would be appreociated.
I just tried my EVO with my copy of Darwin and everything I threw at it worked flawlessly.
A few points to note
1) Be sure you "hint" all your movie tracks
2) Ensure that you have the proper out bound ports opened in any firewalls, etc.
But I tried, MP4 containers with the following codecs (H264, H263, MP4V (Divx)). I tried 3GP containers and I tried a MOV container with H264 codecs.
Let me know if you are still struggling on your EVO.

Just out of curiosity, have either of you gotten this working over 3G/4G (not Wifi)?
And if so are you on Android 2.2 yet?
I'm having issues with other RTSP streamers (Haven't tried Darwin just yet) over 3G (no 4G here yet), and wondered if this app might work instead.
listen i have been at this forever and finally found the best solution to watch streaming movies from my home computer....the software is in the market its called.......ready.....androstream there is a free version to test. pm me if you need (MORE) information...i can help
Need a media player app, that i can remote control from a laptop. Ie, my phone is hooked up to a sound system, and i wanna be able to change tracks etc from a laptop on the same wifi network, and even better via the net if they are on different networks.
Any ideas?
maybe playon media server will work , it works for movies and music
