-I've got Flash installed (Froyo comes with it inside... but I've also installed last update from market)
- Is 5.1.0 public? I've got patche 5.0.1 running now...

EDIT: OK! I've seen now that 5.1.0 is out...

Ok! Yesterday I installed 5.1.0 and... wow!!! All it's working perfectly! Some glitches here and there regarding streaming control (stop), but nothing really important.

Amazing!

I have the plugin WebServices in my Mediaportal and I can use my experia x10 to browse the interface page, so far so good.

I am trying to set things up to be able to klick and watch, but my experince so far seams its not possible.

I think i have to find right player in android that can open m3u video stream?
Prohabs i also have to edit some transcodeing in WebServices?

Anyone with suggestion ??
Thx

using HTC Wildfire with Android 2.2

The remote is cut off on the right , it is not possible to scroll to the right side.
The icons are cut off around 50-75%. This is probably caused by the smaller display.


Flash Player starts loading, but never starts playing a stream. Perhaps the FlashLite Player
in combination with the weak hardware causes too much load.

Streaming to laptop works flawless.

AW: Android: What is your experience?

I have HTC Desire with Android 2.1.
A use case that would really help is:

- I am not at home
- HTPC is on standby
- I wake up my HTPC via my phone
- either
. I program a TV serie/movie for recording or
. watch my pictures on my HTPC
- send HTPC back to standby

is this possible?

cheezey: There seems to be an sdk for Http Live Streaming for Android. Is this useful for you?

I have an Htc Wildfire on Froyo (v2.2) but live streaming via flash does not work

Btw, I am running MP 1.2.0 beta with iPimp 5.2.0.821.

Hi.
You need to upgrade to Gingerbread to get Live Streaming properly to work. This is due the lack of streaming capabilities in Android 2.2 and below. I'm using aMPdroid so I can't say much about iPiMP but with upcoming aMPdroid V0.8 and Android 2.3 on your phone you will be able to even watch Live TV on your Android Phone with internal Player. But aMPdroid is a native Android App so no way to use this with IPhone, Windows Mobile,...

I looked at aMPdroid but it seems like a bear to configure Plus iPimp is already set up for our iphones. I also thought that aMPdroid required vplayer for live tv streaming. Do you mean vplayer when you mention "... internal player"?

Hi.
If you are in a "mixed environment" aMPdroid seems not to be the first choice, of course. But the configuration isn't too difficult, also you need to install some things on all clients you want to control (GMAWebservices, WiFi Plugin, Bonjour) and TV4Home on your server. The configuration of aMPdrid itself was done to a QR Barcode build in WiFi Plugin on a single click... You need a BarcodeScanner APP on your phone to do so, but this should be no problem at all...

With V0.8 there's no need for VPlayer any more. You then have access to TV (and Video-, Audio-) Streams exactly as you know it from MePo itself... No need to download media to phone just to play...

Thanks for the info. I will keep an eye on aMPdroid for v0.8.

Now only if live tv streaming would work on the htc wildfire either through flash or through some magical implementation of http live streaming for android
