the easiest thing to do is use resco file explorer. i'm only using the demo version now but it expires in two days and i am thinking of buying it just for this purpose.

You apparently don't understand what STREAMING is!

Yes, you can stream MP3's and videos that are on your computer and using your file explorer to access and play these files will meet your needs, but this is NOT STREAMING.

STREAMING is being able to access a 'real time' (actually delayed) video/audio source such as a camera or television tuner and view the data as it comes in. This is NOT THE SAME as playing an existing audio/video file although it can also be used for this purpose.

FYI I have found variable bit rates to work better on the PPC than constant bit rates. I have streamed entire movies over bluetooth in decent quality and with no pauses.

Cheers.

Indeed. Anything I encode for use on my Pocket PC is VBR. Although that isn't as much of a necessity with Windows Media 9 on Pocket PCs.

Is there a tv tuner cf card for Pocket PC???

Thanks for your help, I got it working!!!

Now, if only there was a way to change channels I could actually have real streaming anywhere(within WiFi range) TV.

I thought maybe I could use gotomypc.com to actually run my computer over the connection, I will try this and see.

Thanks again.

VNC worked good for me with audio streaming; no impact on sound. I have not tried it with video streaming, but it should work; wouldn't be watching while switching, anyway.

Actualy i think i have a pretty good idea of what streaming is, and your wrong.

streaming is sending the file over the connection in little pieces, as it is needed. another way of saying this is "in real time" but it doesn't mean the source has to be created as it is sent.

However, if each piece is to big to be sent over whatever connection you are using, for example a phone line, then a program can re-encode the file so that it can be sent.

but just because i don't need to re-encode the file to send it over my connection doesn't mean i'm not streaming the file. i'm still getting it in little pieces. the whole file isn't transfered over to my device before it plays.

now, you know this, but i didn't want someone to read your post and get misinformed. i just wanted people to know that if they wanted to listen to music then there is an easier way. if you want to watch live tv then follow the article.

I was looking into a streaming video software for quite sometime now. Snapstream was able to do the same, but it cost $50. While Windows Media Encoder 9, is free and simple. I manage to stream my live tv at home to show off at work.

I use snapstream program to play all of my wmv and mpeg videos to play over the internet as well, but I was able to pause, rewind and fast forward, which is not a real streaming media.

I always thought streaming media would mean a live media streaming over a data network without able to pause, rewind or fast forward? What is the real word to use for streaming a live media? Without TiVo, TV Broadcast would be streaming since you can't pause or rewind, or is it still called Streaming without the capable of pausing, and rewind? Wow, very confusing. I really could careless, but since we're on this subject, it made me curious.

After you start the encoder click on the "mixing" button, lower left hand side, if audio is viewable. Then edit the settings for pc sound and place a check mark in the option you want. try aux or what u hear.
