Android :: App To Stream Music / Video From PC To Phone?
Mar 9, 2010
I've searched several forums but it's been hard to find a clear-cut answer for the app I'm looking for. There is an app for iphone called "here file file" that from what I understand allows a user to access and play pretty much any file such as audio and video on their iphone that is on their Mac. You don't have to be at home using your own wifi connection or any wifi connection for that matter. So basically you can access your Mac files from anywhere and play them on your iphone. I've seen remote desktop apps but I'm not sure they do the same thing and I've seen mention of things like orb and vlc but does anyone know if they do what I'm looking for? I have a new Samsung Moment and would love to be able to do this.

I have a Samsung Moment with Android 2.1 on it and lately I cannot stream music or video in any app that I try. The YouTube app says "Sorry, this video cannot be played." for every single video, and if I try to use something like DroidLive (for shoutcast and such) it has a connection error every time. Grooveshark has an "Unknown MediaPlayer error." I tried a few other random apps off of the market to try to rule things out and none of them would play. Music that is stored on my SD card plays just fine.
It doesn't only not work sometimes, it doesn't work 100% of the time now. Happens when I have 3G and even if I'm connected to Wifi. I did a factory reset last night thinking that maybe an app had messed with a setting somewhere and it still doesn't work. I have no clue what else I could possibly try.
EDIT: As requested by the stickied thread:
1.) Model Number - SPH-M900
2.) Firmware Version - 2.1-update1
3.) Baseband Version - S:M900.8.0S.DD03
4.) Kernel Version - 2.6.29
5.) Build Number - ECLAIRDD03
And the hardware version is M900.8.0

Audiogalaxy has finally open the floodgates and is allowing sign ups to their cloud streaming service. It's free and for android. You download their app to your phone, as well as the client for your computer, which scans your music collection in the designated folder and allows you to stream it to your phone.So far, it works great! It has some mis-tagging issues (it'll auto-tag on the website, which won't affect your actual files), and playlists are limited to 500 at the moment (which only bugs me because my favorites playlist on my now-dying Zune is well over 500 tracks) but the developers are taking all the feedback and are hard at work. This is the best service of its kind so far, I dare say.

What I'm looking to do is stream music via the Google Music app from my phone to my PC (Windows 7). I tried an app called Music Remote which lets you stream music that you're playing via the Google Music app to any other Android device that has Music Remote installed on it. You set up one device as a server, one as a client. I used Bluestacks to run the Music Remote app on my PC, set it up as a server, but I can't see it on my phone. Or vice versa.
I could just use something like Gmote but the problem is that all my music is in the cloud (I have almost none on my PC or phone), so I need something that will basically take the audio that's playing on my phone and stream it to my PC.
The only other option I can think of is to get a cheap used Android phone, hook it up to my stereo, and stream to that phone. But I'd rather not do that.
Or I could buy a Nexus Q, but that's stupid. My PC should work as a sever - same as the Nexus Q.
Basically, I want to be able to lay in bed and control my stereo via my phone (my PC is my stereo). Also, I don't want to use Bluetooth because of the sound quality issues.
I'm on a Gnex with 4.1 btw.

Is there a way to stream music that is playing on your phone into Winamp? For instance, if using Pandora or Slacker radio and I have my computer headset on, I would like to listen to the music that is playing on my phone, on my computer. My media player of choice is Winamp.

Everytime my phone connects with my car stereo (Clarion FB275btb) it starts to stream music. It even tries to stream if the music player is closed. After I stop the music and and put the stereo into another mode it works fine. If I later get a call it acts normally, but after I end the call it starts to stream music again! Any ideas on what the problem might be? My stereo worked fine with my behold I and nokia 5310.

There is an online stream that is 512Kb MPEG4 and total size of 312mb online and if I'm correct after looking over docs in order to play the movie I just simply put:
CODE:..................
It is triggered to play after a button press which after a few seconds after pressing the button it plays the audio BUT doesn't show the video, why not? Do I have to use a surface view or something for visual playback of the stream.

I want to stream a video to Android, preferably over RTP. Session setup would be done with SIP. Any ideas where to start? I looked at sipdroid, but there is only audio.

I'm using allshare atm to show pictures, mp3's and movies on my ps 3. But, I would like to beable to stream music from pandora or...radiotime. That way I can use my reciever and suround speakers to listen to the music. I was looking for an app...I found imediashare, but it looks to share files just like allshare. I'd rather not go out and buy bluetooth speakers in multiple rooms in the house..does anyone know of an app that will do this ?

I want to get the stream and send it to server directly by using MediaRecorder.
Actually, I am able to record the video,and able to store it into sdcard. Now I want to it to stream (live stream) to server rather than storing it.

Currently I am developing an application that will stream video using RTP and SIP. I have this mostly working with audio working fine both ways using Java (and native) codecs. I can stream out video also from the camera to a windows client.
The problem comes from when I want to receive and decode the video on the android platform. I understand at this stage that Mediaplayer only supports RTSP streams. Ironically it does what I need (by getting the SDP information from using RTSP SETUP call and using that RTP/UDP information to receive the stream). But I can't seem to access this functionality, all it takes as input is a RTSP url. If you are unfamiliar the difference between RTSP using RTP and SIP using RTP. You can read about the differences here<http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/rtsp/faq.html#rtsp_sip> .
What I need to do is take an RTP stream encoded with h.263-1998 and somehow pass it to the mediaplayer (or even a lower level api if somebody can provide an example).
The only way I can think around this is to write another service to receive the RTP stream and provide an RTSP interface... but this is a really ugly solution.

I bought a cable, manufactured by HTC, which is supposed to give you the ability to stream video out via the device's usb connector. It has a usb connector on one end and splits out to three rca plugs on the other (the usual red, white, and yellow for audio and video). HTC claims that the cable is compatible with my phone (the HTC Eris). When I connected the cable and it didn't work, I wrote to HTC support, which replied that I need software to enable the phone to do this. I searched the anroid market and the web and could not find any such software. I wrote back to HTC asking for them to suggest software to me and they never responded. Does anyone know of such software? Would HTC manufacture a cable in anticipation of somebody developing the proper software?

Has anyone gotten vuze to stream video to their phone? If so what on the phone needs to be done, some app or setting? PS3 works great, although that I can actually see the vuze device fine. In vuze it see's my phone in the devices but I'm not sure what to do other than copy over the movie to the phone in vuze. Plus it looks like the phone is grayed out in vuze.

I would like to be able to capture the video from an android phone camera, and then process this video. Processing involves adding a layer of AR to the live stream. Is this possible on android? Pretty sure it should be. I have looked at the android site [http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html] but this seems to be concerned with video capture and storage. I would like to be able to play with the video pre-storage.

I am wondering if there any music apps (besides Pandora, Last.fm, imeem, Slacker, etc.) that will play the song that I want it to? For example, say I want to listen to Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z, what app can I go to and type in "Empire State of Mind" and listen to that song, instead of "similar songs"?All of these Pandora, Slacker, etc apps are exactly the same. Why can't I listen to the song I want instead of similar songs? I just don't get it.

I'm developing an application that makes video stream to an internal network, so I need to broadcast to listeners devices (connected to this network), found an application called VPLAYER receiving video stream, but it performs HTTP, which makes the broadcast. So, I wonder if there is any player that receives video stream and run under the UDP or whether it is possible to develop an application that receives the video stream and pass to the player's native android.

I am sending a MPEG4 video stream in RTP format over RTSP to my android emulator using ffmpeg and ffserver. I use the Android VideoView to play the RTSP stream. I do not see the video. The error in LogCat is pasted below. Is there some specific that I need to do? If I use the Android 2.2 to run the same code, the video plays fine.

I used to have the iphone 3gs, but now i have a Samsung Galaxy with Android 2.1.
I had a great program called Air Video, it was so great, i almost chose not to upgrade to android cause it wasnt on the Andriod platform.
You installed a client on the phone, and a transcode server software on your pc, and then the magic began, you could stream any kind of video format straight from your PC to your phone in realtime. It supported mkv, divx and a whole lot of other formats. I could even stream video from my satelite tuner straight to my phone with this software. It was totaly mindblowing, and it worked both on 3g and over wifi, you just adjusted the quality of the stream in the client program on the phone. I could lay in bed, and watch my whole video archive straight from my pc on my phone, i could watch it from work and anywhere with 3g coverage.
The great thing about this program, was that everything was on the fly, and went automaticly, you didnt have to convert EVERY video file to mp4 (or simular) before you started streaming.

I recently found airplay (and hairplay) for my mums mac air and are running hairplay on a raspberry PI for her. I do really miss this feature on my android, I want to get home from work and immediately be able to stream my Spotify music to my miniMAC HTPC connected to all speakers at home.
How can I stream my music from my handset to my home speakers through the wifi network? I got a rooted ZTE Blade now with CM7.Im waiting for my Nexus 4 and will flash CyanogenMod on it really soon so Root access is possible if it involves that.

Does anyone knows some convinient method to capture video to file or stream from OpenGL app on Android device? For example, can we capture video from a view, opengl view?
I just found out the following:
1) We can get frames using glReadPixels. (No video on this step?)
2) MediaRecorder can encode video, but how can we provide it our raw source, if possible?
3) Any working ports of ffmpeg(for example) or other encoding libraries? There are some tutorials of portng ffmpeg to use withing NDK. So, having raw frames and working port of ffmeg we can create video? Any issues on this step? Anyone managed to port any encoding library successfully? What components do I need from ffpmeg?
