Hi,
I use the bbc iplayer service to stream radio broadcasts via Opera Mobile and the HTC streaming media application. This works great unless I want to turn off the screen or flip to another application whilst listening to the stream - as soon as I do this the stream pauses. I can't seem to find any options to allow the streaming media player to run in the background while I get on with something else.
Is this possible ?
Thanks
David

After flashing Dutty's Extreme Rom the streaming application crashes when streaming from orange mobile TV.
Is there another streaming application I can use - and is there a way to get opera to use it instead of the HTC streaming application?
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
Just a heads up guys that Plex is in the market place now for download allowing streaming of all your movies, music and pictures from your home PC. Best part is it will convert recordings from Windows Media Centre on the fly, so for me during my train rides home I can now watch TV.
Hi, I have a Home Server setup that feeds all my media (.avi .mkv .mp3 etc) to all my enabled devices around my home. Now I have a shiny new HoX I am looking for an App that will allow me to remotely connect (while I am away from home) to my server and play what ever media I want. Is there an app that will do this, or a combination of apps ? Thanks in advance
For music subsonic is by far the best solution that I have found. I have heard people have had success with plex as well, so you might want to look into that as well because it supports both music AND videos. Subsonic claims to support movies but I as of yet have not been able to figure out how to get a video to play on the Android client.

Plex. It's the greatest app in the world. Not only can you stream via your home network it allows you to stream over a 2-3MB HSPA connection remotely. To get the most out of it you'll probably have to do some file renaming on the server but it's worth it once you see how your media displays with cover art and descriptions. I use it on my phone, tablet, and all my Google TV's. PlayOn also allows you to access your own media but it's not as sleek as Plex.
Thanks, Ill look into it. If i remember right, my old samsung bluray player had plex in it .....
Ok, so how many of you managed to get a working stream over the internet using the available apps (AndroidDreamer, Dreamdroid) or connecting directly to the stream using VLC or MX Player or something?
I can't seem to get the box to stream outside....
Ideally without having to transcode on PC using VLC server or something....direct stream Enigma2 over internet to OneX.
Thx!
