Its working, its working!

I tried harder :wink:

In case others got the same problems as me, try changing the port number. I had to use the "LAN adress" to get it working. Somehow IP didnt work (remember colon and port number ie: http://Puter1:1790)

Got a really interesting stream here now showing my calculator :lol:
Ill try the TV when i come home from work.

Seems to be quite a delay tho between when things actually happend on my monitor to when it actually show up in the stream on the PPC.

Thanks for the update. I got a few people PM'ing me that they coudn't get it working. Maybe this will help them too.

How about this...

Windows XP Media Edition, and use encoder to capture the full screen and send it to your pocket pc...than you can either terminal server in to change the channel or (...better yet) create a .Net CF app that interfaces with your computer as a webservice to change the channel via a PPC GUI.

If only I could program

Now since Verizon has a high speed data option (almost 144kb burst...40k normally) for only $99 for unlimited use...I can stream it to my PPC that I use as a GPS in my car, and can now stream movies, music, and TV.

OK, maybe 40kb won't get me much, but hey :lol:

Ok got this set up and working... sort of. When I stream using the exact setup that you suggest, even when I look at the 'preview' from Windows Media Encoder on my desktop I see whatever the app is that I am trying to stream from (e.g. if I am trying to stream from Media Player, I can see the Media Player screen, but only in the preview mode there is not any video on the Media Player screen). Now, if I move my mouse around, or move a window in front of the app that I am trying to stream, I can see that in the preview pane just fine. In fact, I can see everything going on on my desktop perfectly. I can also see this on my pocket PC. If I look at the app that is doing the streaming itself (e.g. look at windows media player or DIVX player or whatever -- it is displaying the video just fine). However, when I look at either the preview (output) pane in Windows Media encoder, or look through my PPC client itself, all I see is the actual application doing the streaming, but it is just streaming a blank, black screen. I get audio perfectly though.

This is kind of strange, it's almost like it's trying to stream the video but can't do it -- it just streams audio, and anything else going on with my desktop, just not the live video stream itself.

Can anyone help? Maybe this is a video driver issue? I'm using DX 8 with an Nvidia GeForce ti 4600 with the Windows XP WHQL 2.9.4.2 drivers.

Bizzare.

Maybe someone can help me. I can not get this to work. Using Windows XP. If using screen capture, I just never get a picture in the preiew window. It streams, but only audio. In the configure dropdown for screen capture I see 4 choices called "TV" none that actually have the name of the device. I've tried all four, but still I just get the blue window with the words "not supported" inside of it. If I try choosing the TV tuner device instead of screen capture, I get an error saying that the right codecs could not be found. Any advice?

[sparky472]

I've discovered that using the screen capture setting I can stream audio as well as what is on my screen, except for video. IN other words, I can see everything on my screeen except what is inside a video window, whether it is my TV window or Windows MEdia Player, etc.

Hi, I;ve followed the instructions but it does not work. My PPC WMP keeps saying file cannot be found. I have set up WME to broadcast on http://.....:8080. I am running WME 9 beta (using the Pocket PC profile) and my PPC WMP is 8.0. Is there a compatibility problem?

[alanjrobertson]

doctorc & sparky472 - just a thought (haven't been able to try things out yet), but perhaps it's something to do with how the video is being displayed onscreen? I know that the video in app with my ATi card can either write to the screen like any other app, or it can write directly (using DirectDraw, I think) - perhaps screen capture isn't able to intercept this. Can you change the method that your TV app uses to write to the screen? (I think most of my previous cards have offered this sort of thing).

Hope that makes some vague sense!! :?

right now i'm using Dscaler to watch my sat tv on my computer. i have a ATI wonder VE card and dscaler is soo much better than ati's.. but i'm gettin the black box of death and nothing on my encoding output... so i'm going to look for other programs to use your tuner card and report back if one works. installing the ati driver with xp is going to take a few hours considering there are 8 of them and its such a hassle

This is awsome. I've got mine down to a seven second delay between the accual TV broadcast and the stream I get on my PPC.
