Microsoft Portrait now supports Smartphone

[Guest coolcatshaft]

just got the video working, but get a message saying audio format not supported! anyone else had this? Video is delayed, but smooth!

the app has real potential! for those who cant get it working make sure you disable the firewall for your internet connection on the pc before you try to connect!

Nice!!!

Select the 13kbps (edited cos i got it wrong)codec on pc side .... it's in his notes that our phones dont support the mobile codecs..

check this out!

under the video section of Microsoft Portrait PC version, i can choose the source as my Hauppage WinTV card instead of my webcam.

so as long as my pc is switched on and connected to the internet and set to the tv channel i want, i can watch tv on my spv on the go!!!

how cool is that? i know the quality leaves something to be desired, but its a great way to show off to your mates!!!

its simple to use :) just download smartphone version and pc version, install them both and rite in ur computer ip in the portrait on the phone and connect :( you should get an alert on your computer then.

And i got a tv card :D quality is cood but then again i am connecting over active sync :lol:

When I try to connect from the phone it sticks on "connecting" and when I try to connect from the pc it says "... is unable to accept calls".

I can sign into .NET alright and send invites to contacts. This happens when I use a pass through connection and GPRS.

I use IE to start a connection.

:cry:

I got MS Portrait to work on my SPV! I was able to make a voice conversation to my PC via the Activesync cable and over GPRS.

But the phone cannot use it's camera for video conferencing. But I guess it could receive a video stream.

Both voice over activesync and GPRS was choppy... I couldnt really get anywords in. The only thing that worked properly was the text chat.

It's a shame about sending video from the phone... It would have been a great show off!

Maybe if you work for orange and have an unlimited GPRS cap...

like me ...

now if only i hadn't lost that bloody snap on cam !

edit : read the whole thread now ... cam wouldn't have been any use (yet) anyway .... i'll wait for a newer version of the software as it does sound like something kewl to show yar mates
