skigb
I am using realplayer to stream bbc radio over my wifi network to MDAIII with no problems.
Hi
I would like to do this aswell.
xda-rocks could you tell us how you achived this please?
Regards

You are? I get an error message after install reminding that the Realplayer version installed may not work with current version of 2003?
Which version Realplayer you using 1.0 / 1.1 ? And also what network settings do you have 802.11B?
If I enter the URL of the Live broadcast (.ram) into Realplayer Open Location - error 'Incorrect or malformed protocol' pops up.
Please do tell how you have it working
thanks
hi all
ok i think ive sussed it.
make sure you have the latest version of realplayer.
goto the bbc.co.uk site as normal click on 'radio 1' (or whatever)
then click on 'listen' when the page loads you cant hear anything right?
go down the page a little and click on 'listen using stand alone realplayer'
you will be asked to download **.ram to my documents click ok and it will connect you and start realplayer.
some bbc stations use windows media player as well just click on 'listen using stand alone media player'
hope this helps
Regards
The Pilgrim
yes, that's it
Hi
Thanks it works a treet, i save the *.ram to my storage card, and put a short cut on my start menu now all i do is tap the link on the start menu to listen to the radio......
hey, thanks guys, got it.
I thought I may make a contribution if you are interested. I have a nice collection of free themes which look great on the MDA3.
go here, http://www.skigb.talktalk.net/forum/page00.htm browse and let me know your comments. I will post this as a new thread in Blue Angel forum.

Is there even a version of realplayer for windows mobile?? I have just been hunting on real.com and cant even find a player!
Nigel
this one works for me:
http://www.real.com/realmobile/download.html
-check out posts above to get it working
skigb
Hmm
OK, got the player, could not see it before! Have downloaded r1live.ram from the beeb, tapping that starts real1player, which seems to connect to the site (displays connecting) then it says 'loading' for ages, before timing out with an error: 'Response or data from server timed out'.
I am using it on WiFi, no ports are blocked, and it works fine from a PC (also connected via wifi).
Any idea's?
Nigel
your player seems setup ok. i would suggest it is your connection. can you load the beeb site ok in a browser? are you far from your wifi transmitter?
Works on a laptop from the same location, so I dont think its the network. I have tried it while next to the AP
Nigel
i would start a new thread with the problem
So, does anyone use it? i haven't been able to find any rtsp:// feeds...
You can stream media from your PC to your pda using VLC media player.
but what does the app called 'Streaming Media' do?

if u dont mind.. can u pls... tell us how to stream video from pc (vlc ) to the PDA???
steps will be gr8...
A typical use of HTC Streaming Media Player would be: e.g. you're browsing through www.youtube.com (or redirected to m.youtube.com) with PIE. When you click on any video image icon there, PIE will automatically start SMP, and you will be able to watch the selected video file on its window, without the need to download it to your mobile device. You could watch it fullscreen too.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!

I'm using the Internet Explorer on my WM5 Artemis, and when i go to www.m.youtube.com and click on a video, it just opens in Streaming Media app works well!
is the "m" in the web address important? Cause I have never heard of this type of address.
Streaming
It also works very good on my exec using 3G connection, Youtube I mean, but in full screen mode picture is agly enough of cause. After Stop it comes back slowly.

rtsp://link
I don't now if this tread is dead, but I will post anyway.
I use the rtsp:// for connecting to live streaming cameras.
I have one at my house that will email me if someone rings the door bell or the alarm goes off.
I can then connect to the camera thru a web browser if i'm at my computer, and talk to them thru the camera. If i'm out and about i can stream to the camera with my htc. I can even here what they are saying if there talking. THe camera i'm using is a VIVOTEK IP7151, http://www.vivotek.com/products/cameras/network_camera_ip7151.html
THere is a link for a live demo. If you connect with your phone the link would be rtsp://60.248.39.146/live.sdp or
rtsp://60.248.39.151/live.sdp or
rtsp://60.248.38.147/live.sdp
Sometimes there on, you might have to connect 2 or 3 times.
I've never managed to get anything from Youtube to work on it. Maybe it's a O2 thing.

I don't know about anybody else.... but I already knew this! I've been using Iplayer on my Touch HD since Christmas (when I got my Touch HD).
The problem, still, is that you need wifi... you can't use your Data Connection!
I'm still having trouble. From the other threads I think a few people still do.
I've tried several times. No luck. It opens in the video player but then just hangs on "connecting".
Now that the blackstone is supported there shouldnt be any need to change the user agent... but still?

Same thing happens with mine anyone out there got any ideas?
sorry i only just found this out have been watching ot through skyfire lol. i was impressed with both
My understanding is iPlayer works only on 3 and vodafone over their network at the moment. I've used it with 3 no problems.
^ True, but it should work over wifi no matter what network you use.
In my case and others, the Touch HD can't deal with Iplayer via wifi out the box.
Those of you having problems over wifi might find the problem is nothing to do with the BBC or the Touch, but your router/firewall. I have two wifi networks in my house - one is within my network behind the gateway/firewall PC and another is right at my broadband modem (in the DMZ).
Connecting directly through the broadband modem means I can watch the iPlayer no problem, but if I'm behind the gateway then the HD's streaming app can't connect. I haven't bothered to investigate which ports I need to open in the gateway to make it work within the network but I assume it must be possible.
Hope this helps suggest a pointer for investigation.
are you sure its the main site and not this one: www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer

it doesn't matter if you type in bbc.co.uk/iplayer, it redirects you automatically to the mobile version.
I get: "Please switch to Wifi to play this programme.".
I'm from the Netherlands and use the Vodafone network, how can i resolve this problem?
i am on T-mobile uk, and i also get pls switch to wifi, thing is.... if you was near wifi, your probably at home, use the pc to watch iplayer lol. Guess theres always the usefulness for the toilet lol
I have the same problem where it hangs on connecting,
i've seen a video of it running but the media player the guys using isn't
the standard pvplayer that comes with the touch hd out of the box.

anyone know what media player that is?

everyone keeps saying this but it's not on mine. is it somewhere on my system? i've looked through every executable and it's like my touch hd
didn't come with the standard software.
That media player is not the default one that opens when I try to use Iplayer either. Mine has less and smaller icons. They're circles too. Not Square.
If the problem is with the router/firewall, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
The youtube player works perfectly over both wifi and 3g. I also have Gremote working fine... both of which require connections to the PC..?
Not working no more
I NEED HELP. i had bbc iplayer working for couple of months now. and suddenly when i want to watch something i get an error. i can go on the site, that loads up perfectley www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer yeah that loads up fine. but when i go down and click on drama or comedy, i get an error saying check server snd url. it worked b4 and its not working now. im obviously using it through wifi.
HELP PLEASE!
EDIT: Have discovered the problem is my bebox router, read post #10 for more details if you're having the same problem I did......
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Hi guys, i've been looking around for the past 2 days including searching through these forums for ages and I can't quite find the answer i'm looking for. A few threads have come close but don't really help because they're not
specifically about this problem.
I've got the Touch HD it came installed with pvplayer,
when I go to the BBC iPlayer mobile site the videos hang on the connecting screen.
I've seen a video of the htc Touch HD running Iplayer but the media player the browser links to isn't the one I have.
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=1902#comment-10175
That's the page I saw the video on.
I tried installing the Htc Streaming Media app, if i'm running that i get it
to buffer and I get audio but no video.
The toolbar also looks really small and it's garbled on the bottom right hand side of the screen. so i'm thinking I might have an old version or something.
So the question is.....
Does anyone know what player the guy in the video is using?
and if it's a different version of the Htc Streaming Media app
where can I get it.
Any help appreciated, oh and sorry if it's covered elsewhere, i've been going through these forums for ages trying to find it but all the answers seem to be relating to old hacks before the BBC started supporting the phone or people
going "runs great now" without saying what they're using to do it.
(originally posted in the general discussion by accident, no flaming please)
EDIT: I've been told by someone at wmpoweruser that it's the default player that comes with the phone, strangely I've never seen it, now i'm wondering
if there's a specific build from orange without the player. I don't want to do a hard reset to check just yet (i've spent the last week getting everything on there
that I need and I don't feel like starting from scratch)
if anyone knows of a .cab file with the "default" htc streaming app for the touch HD i'd really appreciate it. Thanks
Ive got mine from orange and it is included, and iplayer works.
I think it only works over wifi though, i could get it to work over 3g or when plugged into my PC.
Mike.
I got mine from orange too, but it hangs on the loading screen.

what player is it using to stream?
mine automatically goes to pvplayer, I can't find the htc default software anywhere.
pvplayer just stops at connecting.
Having the same problem.
iPlayer launched PVPlayer and then it just hangs on "Connecting...."
Phone from Orange also.
im on orange and it seems to work fine, still in 'Beta' tho.

I get the same stuck on connecting when using m.youtube.com
(coreplayer can do it but I wanted to check the player was working)
are you using a bebox router? i've seen someone else on wmpoweruser had
the same problem, switched routers and it worked.
i'm on bebox too but don't have a spare router to check.... maybe thats
the problem.
I am using a bebox router which may be the issue.
I did manage to get audio using an old version of the HTC Streaming Media Player but no video and the menu's were all corrupt.
I'll try from different wifi

ok cool let me know how you get on.
i don't want to go buying a router just to check
EDIT:
Discovered it's almost definately the router.
i've gone back to the standard pvplayer and I think it should work without tweaks with a different router.
to explain why i think that's the case i'll explain
i had to do a few things.....
while stuck on connecting using wifi I copied the stream file from the opera tempdownload folder
to my storage card
because pvplayer will delete a temp stream from iplayer after you stop it (confused me for a bit
because i couldn't figure out where iplayer sent em and the other streams from different sites hadn't deleted themselves)
I zipped the file in a temp folder then extracted
it again so i'd keep a copy.
I turned off wifi and turned on my data connection.
I then ran the stream file with pvplayer... it got past connecting!!
buffered and started to run.... ok it stopped every 2 seconds to rebuffer for about 10 seconds so it was unwatchable
because it's meant to be a wifi quality stream and i was running on 3g but it actually got past connecting!
so it must be my bebox router not letting me connect....
interesting side note that i discovered
you can probably run iplayer without using wifi if you grab the stream file at a wifi spot
then copy the file to a different place ... probably work ok on hsdpa connection
haven't had chance to check yet. :>
You can try this.

Awesome app - still in 0.4 and a bit buggy but works in WVGA!! Best picture possible.
To stream use with tcpmp http://rghost.ru/40265 or coreplayer. Just ensure in those apps in permissions you add .mov files as assosicated otherwsie it will just download them.

thanks for the heads up just edited my last post to explain that it's almost definately my router, i've been keeping track of that iplayer app and posting back to craftyb the bugs for the touch hd
also edited my first post to explain that i've discovered the problem (probably usefull for someone, i wish more people would do the same )
ive worked out why it hangs....
its to do with ports and blocking them, at my girlfriends i connect to iplayer via wifi, (also with the pvplayer app on orange branded handset)
i need to find out which ports need to be open so i can add the app to the router, that or try get the silly router app to not be so strict!!

Hi Zooby, I can confirm that its definitely the bebox. I have the 700 series speedtouch. I disconnected it and used a friends netgear modem and could stream iplayer beautifully to my HD and Polaris. The solution apparently is to forward ports on the bebox for the hd and apply the chosen port settings to htc streaming player. I couldnt get it to work so i bought a netgear dg834gt. The dg834n works well too. If you figure out how to port forward the bebox for the Touch HD, please let us know.

i've tried a few different port ranges already, i saw someone on another thread talking about a specific range working but it didn't work for me
(the guy tried 4105 - 4125)
i've searched through forums and iplayer tech support pages for the ports iplayer mobile uses, can't seem to find them.
google is not my ally on this one.
will login to Be forums at some point see if anyone there has had the same problem.
I hope I don't have to buy a new router, I only just finished messing around with it to open up the last ethernet port to use on xbox live (for some reason the last port was reserved for other uses as standard).
I think that last port is used by Be techies when you authorise them to remote access your Bebox if you need help with a fault etc. I did search the Be forums a while back but nothing useful. I bet it's something really simple though. The problem is getting information from someone who's got it working. Someone on Be in the Uk, using a Bebox, has a pda phone and accesses iplayer(from within the UK). A bit of a tall order, i think.

yeh i know but i had an extra non wifi device i needed to put on.....
i've checked bebox forums, nobody seems to have a clue.
pretty much everyone on there is buying a different router.
i've tried a few options with the router, i just can't seem to open it up.
(changed firmware 3 times, telnet to change nat, specific ports related to the iplayer download manager... trust me... loads of things.)
i'm not gonna go buying a new router just to watch iplayer while in my house since i can do that from my pc anyway, for anyone that desperate to watch it from home on a bebox router.... buy a new router.

Yeah this app works great, goes over wfi and simple enough to set up. Works wonderfully with msn! Since i dont have a webcam, my i9000m can be used instead! No streaming audio atm but soon the devs say
Downloaded. Works great as a webcam replacement. No hassle installation even on Windows 7 x64.
I cant have more than 320x240

Can this app be enhanced to use the usb cable rather than wifi?
Can it be enhanced to work with other front facing camera phones?
working @ HTC Desire
can confirm that this app works on an x10 and w7 ultimate x64
skype recognized it as a webcam, still need to check the config tho
next tests
gtalk

Where do I get the app for the phone ?
The title states this can be used as an HD Webcam... I tried the standard HD resolution (From Wikipedia: 720p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes having a resolution of 1280×720) but with this resolution the app FC's which it states it does if not setup correctly. The highest resolution I can goto is 480x480, going any higher on either height or width causes distortion in the picture. Anyone have any other suggestions for getting this to be HD?

AFAIK it is only wifi, what I meant is could it be the pc isn't "seeing" the phone over the network? Or vice-versa.

Well the phone connected, the PC says "Connected". I could only get the phone to connect once though. Once I've connected and disconnected by a force close, the program no longer connected even when I can telnet into the computer on that port. This happened to all 3 computers I tried.

Hmm, that is rather weird, even after the FC's for me it still works, I just lowered the resolution. All I can think of is telling the dev about it and see if they can help or if someone else here can help. I don't know that much about the way this works really.

Oddly enough, I think I could try it via EasyTether and see since that /is/ an Ethernet connection meaning it will work to connect by IP.

I confirmed it worked. Thanks for the idea . Well; you didn't quite give me the idea but you helped me come up with it .
Although, the same issue is happening with the transport something.
Im having an issue. After using for over 10minutes straight I get a time limit error message on my pc screen and it drops the connection and im forced to restart both apps on phone and pc. Help?
Also I cant go above recommended settings. Would this be updated in the future? especially since my phone is capable of recording 720p?
