Hi all,
I am interested in running linux on my Himalaya. At the moment I have a media server running using Mythtv (knoppmyth) and debian on my xbox (myth frontend), and I would love to play with the posiblity of using my PDA as a remote for the system, plus a portable media center.
However I am still relativly new to linux, so could some one point me towards a how-to, for serial/usb terminal connecting, as mentiond on the HimalayaLinuxBooting section of the wiki. I will be doing this on my main machine that is running Suse 10
Thanks everyone
Worked it out my self, thanks anyway

First off, I'm sorry if this isn't the right section, I didn't know of any other places to post it.
Guys, I'm really loving boxee. I recently ordered the equipment for connecting my PC to my TV, only thing I need now is a Boxee remote (Should have thought of that before I orderd the stuff, right?)
Well, windows mobile is about one of the only major operating systems without a app for windows mobile.
If I'm seeing correctly, and hearing from some of the developers that work with boxee (Not staff, but community) it doesn't seem very hard.
BTW, Boxee is a media center, based off of XMBC. It's really cool, I suggest you guys check it out.
http://www.boxee.tv/
This is the boxee remote api; http://developer.boxee.tv/Remote_Control_Interface
and I found this cool boxee remote gui that you guys can use if you don't want to design one yourselves. http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=13329
There are some web versions of the application, but they aren't that smooth, I think a dedicated application will be great.
I don't know much that I can explain, but if you guys have any questions, you can ask (PM) me.
The betatest is closed. Thank you!
Hi,
I'm the developer of Media Center Control. With this remote control for your Windows Mobile device you can control your Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center. It's designed for Windows 7, but it works for Windows Vista Media Player also. On Windows Vista there is no Media Center support. To use it with your Media Center, Windows 7 is a must have.
Media Center Control isn't only a normal remote control. It's more a port of the Media Center UI to your smartphone. You are able to browse the media content on your phone and then start playback/recording on your PC. It's possible to control music, movies, photos and tv broadcast on your phone. Media Center Control establishes a connection to your PC via Bluetooth - which is very power saving - or via TCP/IP (Wifi for example). It's also possible to browse your EPG over the internet and then schedule records. Watch the screenshot to get a quick overview of what it is.
Now I'm searching beta tester for the closed beta test. What you will need to help me testing:
- Windows 7 (Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center)
- Windows 7 Media Center for TV/EPG features
- Windows Mobile 6.x device with bluetooth and/or WiFi
- It's highly recommed to use bluetooth because it's much more power saving than WiFi. You will need a bluetooth enabled PC and WM device to use this connection type.
If you are interested to help testing and your device configuration met the requierments, please post a comment here or leave a private message. I then will give you more instructions for registering as a beta tester.
Thanks in advance!
Hey n1 2 see someone takes care of this prob!
Many iPhone apps on market but no useful and touchfriendly win prog.
I see in HD2/Leo area many threads about this question. I think many members will be happy. I make some links
MaTT
sounds nice. I am a heavy user of WM7 media center
*push*
Betatester around the world wanted!
I'd like to try this app.
I'm a Media Center User since 2004 version (now on windows 7) and own an Hd2.
Bye
I've got a window 7 media center machine with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard (and a bluetooth dongle which I can pair with my phone)
And a touch pro 2 running energyrom so I'd be glad to test this.
Hi,
I am also interested, I am running a windows 7 Media Center (accessible through WiFi) and a Windows 7 standard-installation accessible through bluetooth (MC might be upgraded with bluetooth, but dongle is currently making some problems). My mobile has both bluetooth and Wifi
Sincerely

Hey,
I am also interested in beta testing. My "server" is running Windows Media Center 7 (64bit) and is streaming live-TV to an xbox and Linksys Extender. It would be great to easliy access all the media with my phone and the most appreciate function would the EPG one. Really looking into that.
I have a HTC HD2 running CleanEX HyperROM Ultimate v11.5.
I hope you will let me test the app for you ^^.
Me 2 whant to help you, us
Hi,

tester
i would like to give you my help by testing this app.
i have different pc's with windows 7 32bit and own a hd2.
good luck anyway! hope the gui is smooth!
Any news about this app?
Any release date 4 all?
Sounds really cool. I'm a long time Media Center user since the early days of XP MCE. Currently running Win 7 Media Center X64 on a dedicated HTPC in my living room. If you still need beta testers (I own a HD2) you can count me in.
I, if you need i'm here to help
Hd2 owner with w7 media center (3 Computer with w7) and also HTC Diamond and Vista if needed.
do you plan epg integration?
I'm willing to help beta test. WM7x64 with a TP2 running my own rom. I have a bluetooth dongle somewhere around here, but Wifi would be my preffered choice (meaning I can test both).
Edit: I love the way the UI looks.
Thank you very much, but in the moment no more tester are requiered.
I have 3 W7 media centers in my house would LOVE to help test this ..
Would want to try too.
Multiple W7 Ultimate machines and my Sony X1
Hi,
how is the development going ?
I would really apprechiate to test this app, sadly I missed your post in Time.
(I have Win 7 Home Premium/Ultimate as well as various wm-devices).
Do you already have any idea when the app will be released to public ?
Greetings
Hello, maybe you can help because nobody else could. How to use remote desktop, I mean how can I connect hd2 to my laptop with win7. And other question, is there any posibility to use my hd2 to operate for example power point in my computer ?
refresh...
Remote desktop will work only with windows xp, windows vista business, vista ultimate, vista enterprise, windows 7 pro and windows 7 ultimate. If you have any other version (and i'm guessing your laptop is running windows 7 home) you can forget about using remote desktop but you can use VNC. There are many VNC clients that will work with windows mobile and even more that will work with windows xp/vista/7.
As for your second question, i'm not sure i understand. Surely if you want to remote control powerpoint you would be using RDP or VNC
Movable elements that can control midi over wifi to pc. Would probably need pc side stuff. Sat here looking at Reason and my Streak.
Hi there- i'm the co-creator of DSMI, a cross platform open source project for MIDI over wifi.
http://code.google.com/p/dsmi/
You'll see that we already have MIDI servers for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The device side library has been ported to Nintendo DS and iPhone so far. Should be fairly trivial to port/reimpliment on Android.

Collin
Cheers colin will check it out!

Hi!
This question has mostly to do with laziness
I have my PC downloading all sorts of media during the day, music, videos, etc...
as far as this discussion goes, all of them are completely legal and DRM-free.
My PC is a Dell laptop (i7-2670QM) running legit Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
I have a Samsung i9000 running ICS, and a B&N Nook Color Running CM7,
I tried reading about RTSP and UPnP and other stuff, but couldn't get my head around it, I'm usually good with computers, except for this case.
What I want to do is to setup a media streaming from my PC to any of my devices.
I don't even want my computer to re-encode the media, just stream it as-is, given that
you can play almost any format on android these days.
Is it possible?
If so, what do I need? can I use VLC, or do I have to setup something more serious?
Thanks,
Eugene
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A
have you tried Remote Media Center?
links over 3g, 4g, or wifi. works with windows 7 media center and allows you to stream content from that media center to your phone.
I would suggest xbmc . It works both on windows and linux. It works as server as well as client. On phone side use "Home Dia" which also works as server as well as client.
minidlna is a very good , smal and handy dlna server for linux.
All these are free.
Is this what u need?

Ok So what you need to stream your music and all sound from your pc or laptop to your phone right? well if so just download the SoundWire on your Android phone, you can get free version and full version in my case i can get all paid apps for free and i can tell u how, but now download that app and then go to download the soundwire server at georgielabs.cjb.net/[/url] install it once installed open the Soundwire server then app the app and enter the server ip showed on ur Soundwire server on ur pc. Im using it with my wifi. so i hope is what u need! take care
Use vlc direct

You can simply go on play download free app called "mediahouse upnp" and it will find dlna servers or just use es file explorer which will find any device on your wifi network.

Use es file explorer. It detects network devices and let Yoy browse them (if You set everything properly). After that just open Your file

I have tried streaming 720p movies and it is impossible.
Is DLNa/UPnP limited from WiFi/Internet bandwidth?
I calculated that with a speed of 7mpbs it would be easy to stream 720p content. Supposedly the android tv box I have with the router could easily reach more than 7mbps but.. it doesn't! Why??
try ArkMc app use, by DLNA supporting and connect PC as a server and stream to other devices what do you want, video, photos..

HomeDJ is best alternative to any Android streaming apps
Try it.
No firewalls, dynamic playlists, nice GUI, easy to setup.
HomeDJ forum is here:
http://www.homedj.net/forum
or summary here:
http://www.homedj.net
Kinda late to the party here.
But after several moths on trying out various services mentioned here on the thread i found them to be complicated or just to much work to it.
After searching here in XDA i FINALLY found it. It called Tonido. It can stream any file from your PC (also Linux, and Mac) with a secure connection. Trust me try it out your self and you wont be disappointed.
Hope my post can help some out who is looking for such solution...
