Media :: Stream Music From Your Home Computer
Jan 12, 2010
I used Mecanto on Nokia, and it's very impressive. It's like ORB, except it has a very good app (instead of using a browser). Mecanto now has an Android app in beta; I just got the email:Installation:
1. Go to Settings > Applications and then check the box called Unknown sources.
2. Use the phone�s browser and go to http://www.mecanto.com/ms and select "Android beta version".
3. After software is downloaded, press on the downloaded application and MeCanto will be installed.
4. Start MeCanto and enter your user name & password
You install a small server on your computer (get it from Mecanto site), then direct it to your media folders. It indexes your files (taking a long time if you have .5TB of music, like me). It then starts uploading your files to their server, where only you can access them (read their FAQ for privacy concerns). Before they are uploaded, though, you can stream directly from your computer. It's kind-of a weird system; I wish it would just stream.For me, playback stutters and skips a lot, but I'm wondering if it's just because I have the $10 internet plan (not the $25 smartphone plan, which may be faster). I do always have 3G (indicated as such anyway).

I'm assuming there's no way to stream media from my computer using wifi or 3g?

I have terrabytes of movies on my always on server that I would like to have access to over the internet. I have TV shows, home movies, and ripped movies that I want to be able to view when not at home. Free would be nice, but easy would be best. I don't want to have to setup dynamicDNS or anything complex if possible. I am shocked that this is not something easily possible today. Or maybe it is but I am not searching for it the right way.

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.

I've seen threads on remote desktop but I want to be able to stream music from my laptop at home to my droid on the go. However, I want to be able to play all my music through winamp (because of it's preset EQ).
Is there a way I can remote desktop into my laptop through my droid so I can see the actual windows background of my home laptop (I have W7 Ultimate) and stream music to the phone by playing it through winamp?
I want to be able to listen to flac (which is the something droid can't do) which is one of the reasons I want to go through all this.

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.

This would be my first post here now. Anyway, here's my situation: I have a NAS where I store my MP3s and I can access it anywhere through its FTP server capability. I have already been able to access the FTP using And FTP and download files from it to play, so I'm good there. But what I would really like to do is be able to open and play the files remotely and basically just stream that song from the NAS/FTP server instead. Anybody know of a way to pull this off? Or am I going to have to bug some dev to program an app for me that does that?

We're currently launching a site with live (TV) and non-live streaming of video material.
The RTSP live feeds play fine on Android (.sdp extension) however other videos published on the side in MP4 format - don't. Neither the browser nor the Meridian player recognise the files and play them.
Any ideas where we went wrong?
PS. I'm not the guy in charge of the video encoding etc. but I'm looking for some tips and information for our team.

I am interested in developing an adroid application that would let the users listen to internet radios.Correct me if I am wrong but most internet radios have a uri mms:// which is a windows media stream and i want to know if it is possible to get a stream from that source and how, because in the developer site I didn't find anythink in the supported formats.

I know there is already a thread with exactly the same title, but not exactly the content i need.
What i would like to do with my android phone is to stream everything which is displayed on my phone to my pc. either via wlan or usb, i dont care (whatever works). I am NOT searching for an app which lets me control my android from my pc. I would only like to see on my computer screen whatever is shown on my android phone. I'd say my android should behave like an expansive webcam .
The only 'app' I found so far which is capable of this is 'androidscreencast' androidscreencast - Project Hosting on Google Code. It's a nice application and it basically does what I described above, but with 3-4 fps it just performs way too bad.

I want to subscribe to tennistv.com so I can watch tennis and would love to watch it on my Samsung Galaxy S phone too.
It uses a WMP DRM'd stream for live matches, is there any media players on android that I can use or maybe a 3rd party service which can transcode the stream in a format the phone can understand?

For some time I have been trying to find an application that allows me to stream recordings from my mythtv 0.24 onto an android X10 2.1. I have tried going through mythweb and stream the recording via the built in flash file (flowplayer), but despite using a number different browsers have not managed to get it working.
Is anybody aware of an app being developed that allows you to watch these flash recording? or a just a better (and easier) way of watching my mythtv recordings.

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.

How To: Properly Sync Music To Android With MediaMonkey | RickyCadden.com from the site: Mount your phone in USB Mode to your computer, and note the drive letter that it is associated Open this drive in Windows Explorer and create the appropriate folders where you want your music stored. I have one called Music and one called Playlists, but you can do this however you want. Now launch MediaMonkey, and make sure it shows your phones memory card in the left sidebar (separately from the MyComputer option) In MediaMonkey, click on Tools up top, then choose Options and go down to Portable/Audio Devices Uncheck *all* of the plug-ins except d_USBMass1.dll Highlight d_USBMass1.dll and click on the Configure button to the right Choose the Device Configuration tab in the dialog box that popped up In the middle of this tab, youll see a box called Device Name, which is where youll type the name of your phone (mine is NexusOne)Below this, choose the appropriate drive letter from the drop-down Below this, enter a Drive Label (again, mine is NexusOne)Leave the USB Device ID box empty and dont click the Find Device button While you have this dialog box open, you can tinker with the other tabs, if you want. This is where you can specify a folder hierarchy and adjust your sync settings. I would recommend creating a small playlist (~15-20 tracks from various artists/genres/albums) to test with you dont want to do a full sync only to realize you dont like your sync settings. This guide is better because it allows for the use of smart playlists and has much fewer steps than if you use winamp.

Has anyone been able to stream XM Radio directly from their PC to their phone using XM Tuner or SiriusXMStreamer? I have gotten it to work with Orb, but would prefer to take Orb out of the equation and stream directly from the XM program or use TVersity. Orb streams in a format that uses the camera player, which I do not like. I would prefer an mp3 stream from TVersity, but have not seen where anyone has gotten it to work.
