ive recently got a bit of software called channer which allows me to watch tv live on my hd which is cool and its FREE but other than sky news the other channels kinda suck, does anybody know if i can add channels to this particular software or if theres another tv app with better channels! it would be cool if somebody could help im not sure how to post the cab file so i'll put the link here so anyone can have a play enjoy!
Download theChanner
There is WebTV and myPlayer is also good. You'll need Core Player to view TV although you may find some success with Media Player and the built in HTC Streaming Media application.
thanks alot for the feeback mate i'll try those out!
Hi guys
I have recently come from the Windows mobile systems to Android (because WP7 is kack), I used to log into my Windows Home Server and stream movies from it to my phone using WebGuide.
This method doesn't seem to work on Android, does anyone know of any applications for Android or Windows Home Server which will allow me to do this again?
Most movies are home made and have been converted to .mp4 or .wmv formats but I do have a couple of .avi movies too.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Terry
I have had luck with the mp4 streaming server from the tools4movies website. Streams well over wifi and will do 3G if the quality is reduced enough. It might suit most of your needs
Never found an Android app and was considering a Windows 7 phone since it is supposed to work well with WHS V2, I have decided to stick with Android.

If you can install VLC player on your server, you can watch your movies with VLC S&C Free app for your DHD. You can play anything with that - mp4, avi, wmv, mkv... you name it.
This is probably old news now but for anyone who wants to know, I finally found an app that works.
It's called Subsonic, it works on port 4040 on your media center/WHS box and streams perfectly for music and video - it doesn't say that it supports video as it was originally designed just for music but it works impressively none the less.
Subsonic also has a trick up its sleeve which allows you to watch live tv directly from your tv tuner, from what I can tell this only works from Media Centre machines itself with a HD Homerun box which allows TV over IP.
I hope this helps anyone who comes across this article.

What media server is subsonic connecting to? I can't get it to see twonky
None, it just sits on my Windows Home Server and streams my personal music and movies directly.

With this app you can stream your favorite show..
The app can you download in the android market
https://market.android.com/details?id=tvshows.kiio.es
Yea well already kinda happy with the smooth flash playing and all already!
Yesterday i watched the latest episodes of the Simpson in my garden trough my own mobile dataplan, no problem, hell even watched some movies from my phone already. (gotta love the tv-auto, it's pretty doable when streaming)
On the moment I'm watching Jersey Shore.
Here in Holland they are on Season 3 Episode 6 or something!
But with this I have see Season 3 all!
Also with Supernatural and Big Bang!
This week in promotion
TV Shows Stream and Movie Stream are in promotion ( 50% Off ) until the end of the week. Remember that you can try the free lite version called "TV Shows Stream lite"
TIP: Now is also possible to download the tv episodes and movies if you have installed "real player beta" and you select this player as "External player" method inside the tv shows and movie apps.
Hi,
Can you tell us what miui rom are you using? ^^
And i see the in the youtube video that you use the native android player with the "external players" option, it can be choppy ocasionnally with some video formats. I whould recomment using "Rock Player". It has given us very good result for playing streams.

Hi,
Im using MIUI 1.7.4
But im now back on the origininal 2.3 gingerbread.
And Rockplayer is also the best!:_)
So I just downloaded an app called crackel and it worked on my inc2. I wanted to share it. For those who don't know it is a free movie and tv streaming app.
I am not responsible in anyway for this app. It is just something I came across. Mods if I'm in the wrong please delete. The link I'm posting is to download the apk.

If you are having trouble getting it to play I had to try it twice. (watched all of Bad Boys) also I am rooted and running Ginger Sense r1.

Cool thanks!
there's another one similiar to it called Movie Stream
Movie Stream 1.3
it has 2 search options, one where it pretty much just searches megavideo.com and steams them through the htc streaming media player, and another one that scans different websites for movie streams.

That looks very smooth, I want to use it along with PS3 controller to play ShodowGun.
From the video, it looks like the Media Link can only handle mirroring but not streaming. Consider this cost almost the same as the Apple TV which does have both mirroring and streaming capability, I don't think I'll buy it at the current retail price.
P.S. Mirroring means both screen shows the same content. Streaming means you can play video from your device to the TV while do something else on your phone like web browsing.

I don't think so, unless a developer from XDA implements it because it uses HTCs Sense 4.0 software
im hoping that someone comes out with emulators that stream to tv , so the phone just shows controls

I agree, I remember seeing a video where the guy was streaming movie
Of his one X while browsing through the sense menu.

@Bigmille
Yeah you can use streaming. You can also launch a film on the One and send it to the TV and continue to use your phone to call someone, send sms, go to network... EVERYTHING
I will add a new video tomorrow or after tomorrow about Media Link with video player
Some HTC Staff person have played to ShadowGun and they said me it's amazing! It's looks like a PS3!!!
+
I have asked to know if I can use it with my DHD and they are not sure because of compatibility with Sense ;(
Was thinking about getting one of these but this video confirms what i thought the experience would be like, i think for the most part it's going to be useless, the guy in the video spent 90% of it looking at the screen on the phone to see where he is poking the touch screen
streaming works, i seen it work at a demo. Here
@shan The guy, it's me
It's true for games it's not a miracle but when you are lot of people to see a movie or other things (documents, pictures...) it could be so greatful
PS: I have added a new video :

thst's why you need a controller via bluetooth
Hey, ive got one question. This HTC Media thing, ist it connected via Ad Hoc Wifi or is it (or MUST it) be built in into your home wifi?
Why this question?
Because my Wifi Signal is very weak at home and therefore the Signals are weak as well. But with an Ad Hoc Connection only between the HTC Phone and the HTC Media thing (that connects to the TV..) you can get a good connection. BUT when your connect to the ad hoc WiFi (to your HTC Media Thing) are you able to surf via Wlan? Or do you have to use 3G?

Thank you for posting that video
Just to inform everyone so you don't make the same mistake that I did. The HTC Media LINK and the HTC Media Link HD are very different. The mirroring will NOT work on the HTC Media Link....is works ONLY on the HTC Media Link HD.
It's very ambiguous in all posting and documentation but again I am speaking from experience. The standard HTC Media Link will not mirror the One X. it can only act as a DNLA device.
