I am trying to find a way to use a TV tuner card to get TV to my PC and then stream the TV to my Droid. I am basically trying to set up a poor man's Slingbox but I also want to avoid of taking control of a TV when I want to change channels.

I am trying to stream mp3 stream from my local http server indeed hosted on my phone to android media player.When local server gets the new socket , it starts writing some http headers followed by mp3 stream. but mediaplayer socket is throwing "Broken pipe" exception.Wat may be the issue causing this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are running into some odd issues with streaming certain files in our app. After lots and lots of testing we've narrowed it down to what seems like some sort of issue between lighttpd and Droid, and it's not just our app but the built in player as well.
If you point the Droid browser to http://stream29l.grooveshark.com/collinSong.mp3 it does not work. The same file hosted on Apache at http://staging.api.grooveshark.com/collinSong.mp3 streams perfectly. The files are identical. Both URLs work on other phones running 1.5 and 1.6, and on the emulator running 2.0.1.
The lighttpd URL fails whether playing over wifi or over 3G.
My guess is that there's something funky going on at the network level that Droid is not tolerant of, but I'm at the end of what I can debug. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I installed lighttpd on my laptop running CentOS and set it up to serve those same files (sorry, not accessible to the outside world) and the Droid can serve them fine. It's got to be a specific configuration issue with our server, or a difference in lighttpd versions. Right now my laptop is running 1.4.22 and our production server is running 1.5.0. Our production server also has the following configs set that gave me problems setting on my laptop (note: I may be missing modules, etc):
CODE:..............
the server also has these additional modules installed:
CODE:...............
I'm going to try getting modules and configs to match 100% and see if that reproduces the problem tomorrow. If not, I'll try upgrading my laptop to 1.5.0 and see if that does it.
In the meantime, does anyone know of issues related to the above configs?
UPDATE 2:
I upgraded to 1.5.0 on my laptop, streaming collinSong.mp3 still worked.
Adding: server.network-backend = "gthread-aio" did not break streaming.
However this line did: server.stat-cache-engine = "fam"
Commenting out the above line makes streaming work from my laptop, and having it enabled makes it not work. I actually got our admin to remove that line from the config and restart lighty (he said we didn't need that setting anyway), but the problem persists.
So next I tried leaving stat-cache-engine commented out on my laptop and adding these lines:
CODE:...........
Once again streaming on my laptop broke after enabling these, and works when I turn them off. Unfortunately, these are apparently needed for the threading model we are using on the server, so I can't experiment with turning them off in production. I don't know if this gives any sort of clues to anyone else, but it's all I have.
I find plenty of examples of downstreaming a video from a server to an android, but I actually want to stream live images from my droid to a server.

How does Helix Server work with android application? In android developers site i found that we can assign the url to MediaPlayer to stream the audio/video.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes Android MediaPlayer can only work with file sources? I would like play media (video) from a network stream, but the stream comes in a non-standard protocol, so I have to somehow feed Android MediaPlayer with the data only. Is there anyway to do that? I found a few web pages suggesting using a temporary file for the buffered media data etc. but I would like to minimize the I/O usage as much as I can, so I'm looking for a API only solution if there is any? how about JNI? but looks like the permissions going to be an issue with that also.

View 2 Replies View Relatedlooked for an answer on quite a few threads and forums on this one.on my moto droid, there are a couple mobile sites that will not stream video, but work on my old omnia, and my brothers htc hero. ie break mobile, the onion, and a few random other ones. sometimes it will play one video, then every other video from that server gives a "video not eligable for streaming on this device" or similar error message. it seems odd to me that some mobile vids will work on a hero but not the droid? or is it just my phone? anyone else fed up with this?

I was never able to on my X and thought it was because it did not have Froyo. I just updated my software to 2.3 or what ever Verizon's version is and the first thing I did was check out the site and try to stream a movie. It still says "This video can not be streamed to this device" am I missing something? I would love for this to work. Everything else is great after 2.2/2.3.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have over 100GBs of audio and video files on my PC that I would like to access at anytime. Whether it's around the house or on the go. 9 out of 10 places I'm usually at have highspeed wifi connections so I'm not too concerned about streaming over the 3G network; although it would be nice.
Basically, I want to set my PC up as a private media/file server that I can access from my rooted Droid X 2.2.....cheaply, free if possible.
I'm actually surprised that this device doesn't have streaming capabilities over local wifi networks. I can transfer files over from my home network and then play them but that requires a lot of wait time and uses a lot of space on the phone.
How to configure ftp and http servers with DNS if that helps. http would take a long time to code and can't be updated quickly so I'm hoping it can be done with an ftp server.
I was wondering if anyone has successfully streamed AVI's to their droid?
My history with streaming:
- Used Orblive on PC to stream media (Media Skin)
- Streamed to my omnia i910, played media with Coreplayer
Worked pretty good with that setup, streamed AVI's very well (which is practically 99% of my media library)
Now i have a moto droid(1) but im having trouble trying to find an easy setup to stream video media.
Have tried:
- VLC. The setup to stream media isnt very user friendly such as a web menu that you log into your PC and browse through your library (or atleast i havent found a good tutorial yet)
- GMOTE. Its easy. Install GMOTE (w/java) on the PC (if linux have VLC on the PC too) but on the droid... you cant stream AVI. I have tried installing VLC on my droid, opens the program but wont play video. I also have Rock Player but you cant make it the default media player, so thus it wont play the stream either (or atleast i havent found/read a way to do so)
- Orblive. Great web interface. Problems though is that orb only streams in WMV/.SDP/.3GP/.PLS/Flash. The droid can only do Flash (recently, as in... 2 days ago or so) or 3GP. Flash looks... well... to give it some credit... "decent" but isnt the best FPS IMO. The 3GP format looks like watching horrible pixelling crap, to say the least. Other formats wont even stream due to the media player.
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Looking for stream software (either Win7 or Linux (ubuntu)) that will stream video files (AVI's) w/o having to convert them before streaming to the android phone. If possible... A Decent setup such as web interface thats easy to point/click navigate through the stream library (like GMOTE or Orblive)
Is this possible? I would like to just keep using Orblive but i cant change the default media player... and the only other media player i have found is Rock Player (and recently VLC on android)
