Guest richjames11 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Is it possible to stream music or video files off my pc to my C500 via bluetooth? I was thinking that I could make an internal website that wold have m3u files attached that would then play in windows media player. Also since as I have the full retail version of Nero Reloaded, including Nero MediaHome, which will stream to any UPnP enabled device on a network, and Nero Showtime Mobile which supports UPnP connections. Does anyone think this is possible? and if my method is pants is anyone able to suggest an alternative method? ps i have seen and used the SmartVNC program for smartphone where you can remotely control your pc through your phone via bluetooth. This may work but ill give it a try when my dongle arrives tomorrow Edited June 7, 2005 by richjames11
Guest SilentlyScreaming Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Before going too far down the road of software possibilities, I'd check the actual performance of your BT connection. Goto the furthest place you will wish to stream your data to, and transfer a large file to your s/phone. Check the average bits/second xferred (please don't forget 8 bits to a byte ;> ), and you will find the ceiling for streaming. Obviously high bit rate videos aren't likely to be viewable, but assuming you've re-encoded the vid already for smartphone viewing, as opposed to your PC, then the bit rate sholdn't be sky high anyway... In terms of streaming, maybe checkout ShoutCast (just a google away...) for your audio needs, assuming TCMCP/Windows Media Player can use them? If you decide to go down the remote control path instead, I'm pretty sure the downloads section here @ Modaco has a Media Player remote control thingy.... hmmm can't find it right now, i'll check app of the week threads & maybe SPV Developers had a link? Anyway here? is the page with remote control theme, in case you've not experimented yet. [edit] Author's page is here, Modaco thread started on release of v3 is here Hope it helps.. [edit2] Meant to ask, which VNC client do you use on your s/phone? I've tried SmartVNC's client in the past, but with no joy. Edited October 7, 2005 by SilentlyScreaming
Guest Tech Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 there was a topic about this and it is currently not possible but i will be deving an app to do this :o
Guest MiG:uK Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 bluetooth barly scrapes 25kb/s, which = a 250kbit stream, which is kinda decent for video, and would stream audio fine... its just finding a program to do it. :o
