Live Internet Video Streams. Really?? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

not possible on Android? .asf, .asx ? .mms protocol
coming from WinMo I was able to play these streams flawlessly. In internet explorer on the phone I would just click the link and it would open in my video player (being that Media Player ot TCPMP)
when I click a live video link on my EVO all I get is a pop-up to send a text message with that link.
I also tried few media players and I would open the url from within the player but I get and error that the file cannot be played.
anyone have any input regarding this?
I refuse to think it's impossible to do this on Android. it would be a major set back for me
please tell me I'm an idiot and there is an easy fix to my problem. appreciated

the problem is likely the codec used to encode the file. there is currently only one player (yxflash) that even purports to open up divx/xvid encoded files, and it sucks at it.
what you may try is the skyfire browser. it may be able to decode some of the things you want to watch server-side, then send you a viewable file on the fly.

Playing Videos over Network with Media Player

Hi All.
Just a quick one.
I am tying to play some Video files over my network on my Jasjam with Media Player. The files are on my pc.
It keeps comming up with the error message "system cannot find the file specified file". I can't use tcmp player because it is a windows media codec encoded video.
My network is fine, resco file explorer sees the network no worries but when i click on the file I get the same error message.
Tcmp will play files over the network so i know it works.
I have been looking everywhere but just keep running into brick walls.
Is there a reg edit to fix this problem.
Thanks for your help.
If however i have somehow missed this please please please, no FLAMING

i dont flame aussies .... you need to move back to the JasJam ROM from IMATE... the new one has the built in player....
Hi.
LOL thanks for that.
I just can't go back to the original Imate Rom i love the lvsw one to much.
Is Imates a different version of media player to the one used in LVSW's rom.
Is there a way to get this built in player.
If not surely, there must be another way. I can't be the first person who wants this.
Cheers.
Travis
P.S. Just incase i change my mind is the rom you speek of just the one that can be downloaded from Imates Website.
Hey.
So sorry to be a pain but has anyone got any idea how to fix this little problem.
I really need to be able to run these videos.
Or has someone figured out a way to run windows media content through TCMP.
Thanks again
tried orb? Streams any video fine over wmp.

you speak about playing movies over the network. Did you try to copy a movie to your pda and play it locally. What happens then?

The problem is that files are like over 100meg each and take too long to transfer to the Phone.
That being said I did transfer one and it worked ok. So the problem must lie somewhere else.
MMMMM very frustrating.

Orb with TCPMP, WMP and the 8525

Hey everyone,
I've tried searching for this in all the forums, but couldn't find a solution, so if it's already been discussed, I apologize, please just direct me to its location.
I'm trying to access my orb media from my AT&T 8525, but have been having some issues. Currently, the only way I am able to stream a playlist or a shuffle of songs is by using the real media player format within the settings in orb from the IE browser. The problem with this is, it doesn't allow for me to jump to the next track, if I didn't want to listen to the current one. So I have tried to use the Windows Media Player format in the settings, and I have ran the test.orb.com, and it plays the test file correctly. But when I try to use that format to stream to my phone, I get the error message "Could not open URL" (if I try to use TCPMP media player), or "Cannot play any items in the playlist." (if I try to use Windows Media Player as the default player). Again, when I run the tests (with either Media Player) using the Windows Media streaming format, the files play perfectly, but they just don't work when I try to listen to a list of music from my media. I've also tried adding the codecs (wma and wmv encoders) as mentioned in another forum, but that didn't help any.
Any and all help is always greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try this version of TCPMP and the attached files need to be copied in the program folder after installation. Lastly go in and click all applicable file associations inside TCPMP (only one i leave unchecked is MP3)after the installation and do a soft reset. Try ORB again and it should work! Works great for me and this was a real problem for awhile. but, just found the solution and can't remember where.
Yessssssssssssssssssssss!
OMG you people are a freakin GODSEND. I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! (In a manly sorta way ) But no seriously, I've spent over 4 hours trying to get this to work and it finally did (by doing what was mentioned above)!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank all of you so much for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm donating as soon as I get some money... lol. Thanks again everyone.
Ok so I've moved to the Kaiser (instead of the Hermes), and TCPMP was working fine in the beginning. And now, all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried a soft reset, reassigning the file associations, changing orb's settings to a different media type, and reinstalling TCPMP and the .dll's included above, but I keep getting that same "Could not open URL!" message. This has become extremely frustrating. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please help. If not, is there any other comparable media player that would work with Orb that I could try? Any and all help again is greatly appreciated. Thanks again everyone.
thanks for the props above. but, i dont own a kaiser, so i really couldn't tell you. but, i would of course suggest looking in the kaiser forums and someone there has to have it figured out.

I always use browse internet explorer to do this then select the youtube link on the site..
If theres any way of changing the program that gets opened could you please tell me!
Im using the standard Kavana’s 6.1 ROM.

Streaming Video problems

I upgraded to the T-Mobile 6.5 version, but can't seem to stream videos anymore. I get an error message saying:
"There is no application associated with "rtsp://stream.zoovision.com/.../***.3gp" Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
I haven't had this problem in the past, only when I had upgraded. I also wasn't able to find anything else on XDA. Is there a different player I need to download? I know I can play 3gp videos, but not streaming ones I gues.
Thanks for any help.
Bump..
Any help at all?
You need to install a streaming media player.

Any suggestion on a free one? And why doesn't the upgrade come with one?
Thanks.
Use this: It's free, and it's the best

Pay no attention to the poster saying not to use it for streaming sources - it works better than good for anything you throw at it.
Cheers!
Must be a TMobile thing - both VZW ROMs have a streaming media app that works with 3gp.
RTSP protocol not supported
I installed TCMP. It doesn't seem to do the trick. I click on the link in Opera and get the same message from my first post. I copy the rtsp link and write it into TCMP and I get the error that "RTSP protocol not supported."
So, it looks like the only way to do this is to download the videos. Is this the only way? I really am confused, since I could do it before on 6.1 version T-Mobile.
Ok, so I found the HTC streaming media player, I believe it is an older version, but not sure. It plays videos (awesome), but no sound (DANG!). So close. Anyone have expertise with this program or know why I am not getting sound?
I am so close!
Any ideas? Am I the only one with this problem?
Try this one.
Thanks! That did the trick. I am still puzzled why this wasn't included int the T-Mobile upgrade.
Thanks again!
