But in short, yes you have to have mediaportal running in PC, and then you can add this piiptv plugin to Tv-server, to be able to stream TV to phone. Once you have checked those docements & videos, i am glad to help you if you have some more questions Pay attention specially to firewall & network configuration.

Hi! This looks like a great plugin.. But how is it to use with a windows mobile device? :s I have bought a new HTC touch HD now.. Would be grat to use it with that phone

Dingo,
I don't have Windows mobile with me, but some users has confirmed that it's working with that. To get it working you only need player that supports RTSP streaming. From web UI you can see your RTSP -streaming URL, just type that to your phone's player and it should start play it. Propably you can create some RAM links to phone for eatch channel or maybe you can create your own small html page where to collect all those streaming url's so that you don't need to type it all the time...

PiipTV is mainly planned / customized for Nokia S60 phone's video center application, since it can show xml EPG in phone UI and you can change channels directly from phone etc. Recording can be get in XML feed etc.

But basic streaming should work also for you

Now Im really pissed for giving away the n95.. :s But I just bought coreplayer so I'll test it out..
I'll probably get stuck since I have no experience with streaming anything other tahn from mp server to the clients
Anyhow thanks for the plugin and all the hours I'll play with it

Ayn ideas where i could find the videocenter software for e51? It doesn't show up through the phone's download menu and the instructions in this thread and in the guide don't work (the link is dead)

Hi, did you have any luck finding the app for the E51? I can't find any installer for it....

Hi blobo, gohan, all;

It seems that Nokia has removed Video center from Downloads! I think we all should call to Nokia customer care and ask good reason WHY!?!?

if anyone gets any reasonable answer, please post it here!

If any has saved those sis files to PC, or can somehow get those out of phone, please inform

Thanks!

could it be that video center has been embedded in the new firmware releases of the N series? It could explain why it has been removed from the download.

gohan,

N-series phones that i have seen has had build in video center since N95 times, but mainly for e-series phones we need that downloadable version. I have E90 and is not having build in Video center in latest firmware, i have downloaded it that time once it was available

You are the man
It got installed on my italian E51 and shows in italian language. Lets see if I'll be able to install install and configure it with this plugin.

PS Could anybody please put the link on the first post for everybody looking for the software?

PPS Last night I have been successfull in getting the phone connected, but I found the wholse system a little unstabel as the server crashed a couple of time and the streaming to the phone is not very smooth as quite often it freezes (I even used the suggested VLC stable version ) and it consumes quite some CPU... maybe it needs some tweaking...
