Great Job Ed & Leon!!! That's how I did it and it works great for both audio and video. It's really nice to walk around your house streaming some type of media to your pocketpc. The best part is that microsoft provides some nice FREE software to do it. I have many ideas that I am in the process of working out. ALSO if you have a DSS reciever there is some nice software http://www2.msstate.edu/~plb1/snapstream that will allow you to change the channels from a remote computer. I e-mailed the author about a pocket c version but haven't heard back yet. Since there is only a windows version of this software, one could download vnc and install it on the machine that's controlling the DSS. Now you can use vnc on your handheld to change the channels and if you're like me you can add an additional reciever so you don't have to worry about someone changing the channels in the middle of "The Wire". What's also nice is that you can put change to one of the many music channels and stream till you drop. If you have a fast internet connection you can enjoy nice music/video anywhere you can get the bandwidth. Have fun streaming[/url]

Thank you very much for this!!!!

For streaming MP3s I found it best to uncheck the video option, and then use the profile for 128Kbs for the best sound.

Great work!

I have some problem setting it up though. I configure the WME to use default audio device. But because I have to start TV app, WME kept saying that audio device is in use and refuse to start encoding.

Can you help?

Nice tutor. However i dont have a wireless connection, so im wondering - can u connect to and stream media via the cradle?
Would b nice with a mini TV on the desk while im using the puter for other tasks.
Or will this b useless if i minimize the tv-card app and mute the volume on the main computer? :roll:

You should be able to stream from the cradle as well. If you want to mute the tv app on your main pc, you might want to go into the media encoder settings and select the line-in to your sound card(assuming this is where the sound from your capture card comes in) that way you can mute the main sound on the computer and still have the audio stream into the encoder.

I haven't tested the cradle option yet but I'm sure minimizing your TV app will remove the display from the Pocket PC too. In fact, if you drag another window in front of your TV app, you will see that window appear in Windows Media Player as well. Perhaps that that won't happen if you select the TV card driver instead of Screen Capture (second WME screen dump), but like I wrote in the article, I was not able to do that.
Muting sound on your PC will also silence your Pocket PC, unless you just switch off your speakers, of course.

Ok... one quick question. Does this work on PPC2000 devices? I've been trying to set it up on my E-125 with WMP7.1, but it starts to load then nothing at all (no "buffering" displayed). I thought i remembered seeing a thread once on how to set this up on PPC2k, but I havn't been able to find it. Any ideas?

Thanx for your replys guys.
I really want to get this working (so i can "annoy" one of my Palm friends :twisted:

I try to get this working by streaming to cradle, mediaplayer on my PPC seems to time out during the attempt to connect (after 5-6 sec). I asume this is because im not using the right adress. I have tried both "LAN adress", "Internet adress" and what VX util tells me default gateway is (on the PPC). There is no firewall blocking the access and it works perfectly over my LAN to another computer.

Have you successfully connected and streamed to the PPC in cradle? And what adress did you use to connect to the PC :?:

TIA

Kindest regards
