How do I stream video and audio?

[brucewilsonpa]

I have the TyTN and would like to stream video and audio but suspect I need a program designed to do that (?) I have pocketv and tcpmp -- can someone tell me what I need to do?

Thanks!

I am using a slingbox and their wm5 player. This will allow you to watch live TV or any other video source connected to the slingbox.

the cost is about 150 for the box and 30 for the software, but it is awesome!

I can watch live tv (and able to change the channel) on the train ride home.

Hi

Also you can give ORB a try. ORB is free and it works fine for me.

The the free version at http://www.umediaserver.net/.

It's very good and with a fixed IP you can watch and change TV channels anywhere.

You register at www.orb.com and configure your computer with the program/webpage. Then point Pocket IE to www.orb.com and use it. It's very basic and easy, and doesn't harm your TyTN. :)


I tried to set up a stream on my LAN using VLC. Other computers may view and hear the stream using WMP, but Pocket WMP refuses to play it because "The parameter was not set correctly" (or something like that). Anyone know what's wrong?

With Unreal Media Server server you need a tv card in your pc.

I have an old Pinnacle RAVE TV card in my PC. I've installed Umedia server on my PC and set this up to capture and stream the tv card. I can watch decent quality TV from anywhere in the house using the free Umedia player. I also have a fixed IP address from my ISP. Having unblocked the relevant firewall port, I can also watch TV via 3G connection, albiet at reduced quality because of the lower bandwidth available.

There is a PC and Pocket PC client player available from http://www.umediaserver.net/download.html. The Pocket PC client is all that is needed on your TyTN.
