Watching live TV from your pc at home! (?)

[0kk0]

:mad: I almost completed my post...and then i pressed my backspace key...so i can start over again :mad:

Hello,

I was wondering if there are people who are interested in watching live tv on there windows mobile phone from your pc at home...(?)

Last week i was searching for tools/progs like snapstream(stream live tv/record/schedule etc...) but it wasn't working good enough for me...

I just wanted a simple program to scan for tv channels...name them...and watch them on my kaiser...
So after a few hours programming... it worked :D
A moment ago i was driving my car and watching tv(350kb(its)s) on my kaiser over hsdpa / umts using my tv card in my pc at home...

The only thing i need to do is make a simple GUI that you can access on your kaiser using pocket ie/opera etc... In this webpage there will be very big buttons (for ex. CNN) so when you press this verry big button (you can't miss :p) it will start CNN in TCMPM or windows media player...
(These buttons will be created dynamicly using a xml with your tv channels/freq/descriptions) so you can customize it or auto scan for channels...
Also you will be able to customize output quality...

Are there people who are interested in this? If so i'll will post some beta versions here
Let me know!
God bless!

Ok well...
I made an installer you can download it at: ShareTV (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=130869&stc=1&d=1227016668)
It is an early version of it, but for me it works great!

Before you install ShareTV.msi
- install Microsoft .NET framework v3.5 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en)
- install windows media encoder v9 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5691ba02-e496-465a-bba9-b2f1182cdf24&displaylang=en)

ShareTV will automaticly startup a little http/wwwebserver on port 80... but if you need to change this port number (firewall/dmz or what else) it's possible! Just take a look at ShareTV.exe.config!

In wwwroot folder you will find index.htm and template.htm. template.htm is needed to export your channels...
So first Autoscan channels in ShareTV after this you can (if you like) customize this index.htm the way you want!

Enoy! And if you have quetions or suggestion don't hesitate and please let me know!

Her are some screenshots...

VERY interested
WiFi as well as Hspda?

i use a nice piece of freeware called orb.. streams all your media from your pc across your network or across internet.. web interface is pretty cool can be set for different devices and depending on the pc you can stream to multi devices at once (xbox, ps3, wii, pc, phone etc). and if you have a tv card it will stream that as well as any webcams etc u have attached. also allows download access to shared folders so you can have all your data on the go...
anyway... it's free so maybe it'll work for ya.

Thnx for your tip! But i didn't really like orb... its a nice app but not for me ;)

I'd be very interested in such a thing as i've been trying to find a way to stream ESPN and several other channels with no luck. Where would the streaming source come from however?

The source come's from your pc at 'home'...
The only thing is that this pc must have a tv capture card :)

Orb works OK if you have the TV tunercard and dont wanna spend any money, but if your willing to spend a little cash go for a cheap slingbox off ebay and you will have your entire cable line-up at your disposal.

I've found a app called Mytinytv where you can stream tv but the only problem is (for me) he find only one channel so if you can make something that works with my hercules smarttv i would love it

[jankees62]

Very interested. That would be sweet. :D Trying out orb now it is ok. I would love to try your app out.

Thanks!

Hi!
Wel'll first i have to buy a dvb-s card... because i don't have one..
But when i have it will also support dvb-s cards yes :)

[Deba$er]

ah, okay.
i thought most of nowadays tv-cards run by bda-drivers and so they're all compatible to every program that supports bda.
hm
but
hm
no, i won't donate you a dvbs card! i can wait! :D

[sompie2]

very nice app but my video card is not supported can you fix this. It would be nice

It does seem that Orb has already crossed this birdge... I like the interface and functionality of it. It is worth a look! :D
