Hi,
I am thinking of creating an online game on WP7 where the state of the player is saved online and can be loaded at anytime with internet connection
The problem is that I dont know where to start and I want it to be reliable as the number of players becomes really big.
Any ideas?
Thank you

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.
First of all thank you guys for such a great apps environment you created for our lazy WM platform.
Second of all I hope I am posting my request in the right place. Could someone start developing an application similar in functions with AirVideo for iphone. Its a basic app with a server(PC) - client(device) side that allows you to play on the phone any video stored on the PC (and any other storage media connected to the PC) without having to actually transfer the video on the device itself.
For more info please check : http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
It would be amazing if someone could achieve this. I would gladlly pay for such an app as I oftenly like to review my video courses I have stored on my PC from the convenience of my phone.
PS: I gave up the iphone platform 6 months ago and I am so much happier with my HD2.

Try orb. i use it on my HD2 and it works great. There's no need for a client app either! Just a browser (built in IE will do).
10x for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of this software.
Does it provide access to my content through my wireless router (under a local connection - PC and phone using the same WIFI) or do I have to stream everything through my broadband and their online servers?
All you need for airvideo is that the phone and the pc are connected to the same WIFI. All the streaming is done using the local connection which is good for privacy and there is also the option to convert a video file on the fly.
This sort of functionality I would like on the windows mobile platform if a developer would like to give it a go.

Orb basically turns your PC into a media server. You just use whatever means you want to connect to your PC. I have a use one of those services that gives your PC a name, and I just connect to it via that, so I can do it via my internet connection if I want to, or connect via wifi and use the local IP address (192.168.x.x) to connect that way, but I don't tend to do that much, as I'm obviously in range of my PC if I'm in range of the router
Orb gives you access to specified folders on your PC, and all the media within them. It does images, video and music, so it really is a great addition to any device.
Just set this up again after trying it out about a year ago. It's AWESOME!
Requires a donation for the server after a month trial, but it's well worth it.
I can stream my ENTIRE multimedia library (which is stored on my home Windows 7 machine) to my phone. Flawlessly.
Music AND video files!
All the work is done server side, so it'll transcode (on the fly) files into whatever bitrate mp3 you specify.
For video, I have it set up to transcode into flash video, which works FLAWLESSLY on the Epic Touch!
The Android app can be set to cache ahead so if you lose a data signal your music is still there.
This combined with WoL magic packets means I can remotely turn on my home PC and have instant access to gigabytes - nay, terabytes - of media.
Take THAT iCrap! (Actually, there's iOS clients too, though they'd have trouble with the flash video....)
one of my favorite apps.
love the app, but why? dd-wrt router, vpn setup, network shares... my phone sees it as if i got 1TB sdcard

cool, i bet you'd rather me have access to your subsonic server than your network shares.
there's 25 or so of my friends that have access to my Subsonic with bitrate settings etc, its incomparable.
i have an apple & an orange if you want to debate their similarities.
Yeah, a network share is cool and has it's advantages, but this is something completely different.
On the fly transcoding and cache ahead are huge - especially for drives through the mountains where data is slow / non-existent.
I really like being able to give anyone access too.
Drdrewdon, do you know if it's possible to set up user-level access control? Ex. User a can see all folders but user b can only see one folder?
There arn't user rights yet, but its a common request from what I see.
You can also get gap-less playback on your droid by creating a new transcoder for ogg with a single step 'oggenc --quiet --quality=9 -o - %s'. Then set the player for your doid to use only that transcoder. Now you are streaming ogg instead of mp3.
Cant get this app to connect for some reason. Anyone have any setup instructions?

can't connect to your own subsonic server? explain what you've done so far
I Figured it out, I had to change some of the settings on my router. The app is great but Im liking Audio galaxy a little bit better, besides the fact there is no options to add users.
I know I'm asking for a lot here, but do you know of any android apps that could do the following...
At home I have a server that is always on, that connects to the router and hold all sorts of media files, including 24,000 MP3 files. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, with 16GB of internal space and 64GB on a MicroSD card. I would like to have an app on the phone that, at a certain time every day (or week), connects via Wi-fi to the network share on the server, and syncs my MP3s. I have a few other file types mixed in with them too, such as AVI, VOB, TXT, that I don't want to be synced. I want it to compare the two locations and only copy what's new. Also, since the last sync, if I've modified any folder on the network share (i.e. changed file name or ID3 tag), then I want these changes to be reflected on the phone.
Now, the above is quite complicated, but I'm going to throw another spanner in the works now. The MP3s on the network share are mostly 256Kbps or 320Kbps. I don't really need this on the phone, and it woulkd mean I couldn't get all the music on there. But if it was 128Kbps I might. So I would like a program that would check the bitrate of the file and convert it if it is bigger than 128.
I realise it would take probably weeks to go through copying and converting 24,000 MP3, but if it does it all automatically I don't mind.
Is there anything out there that comes close to fulfilling these requirements?
Thanks.

well,you really ask for alot but try using kies air for samsung.
Hi, thanks for your reply, but a problem that instantly springs to mind is that with Kies Air one doesn't connect to the router, but directly to the PC. The PC in question doesn't have wifi (connects to the router via ethernet). Also, because of this direct wifi connection i would need to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the server, which i'd rather avoid.
Any other suggesions.

FolderSync works nice for me. Check this.
If you mean like a media server then use imediashare or if you want to send files through wifi search wondershare mobilego there the best things
