packet video player streaming over BT with DSL connection

Thats nice! But,what about streaming movies from your own PC,without using an internet connection,just BT?

hmmm...pvplayer seems just to have the option to open a url...anyone know if its possible to access your PC using a 'local ip address'...? Bit out of my depth here!

BTW, the address of some sample movies:

http://www.earthcam.com/p800-live/index2.html

If you click on any link on this page, then save as....and then send this file to your phone, then open the sms it will automatically start pvplayer and open the respective movie....

Ghost Dog ... did you ever get any joy with this. I am keen to stream from a PC using BT

Many thanks BB

hmm

http//192.168.0.1 ?

or set up a web server on your pc...the web server will listen on your external and internal IP

much like my ftp server does

There is one problem,when the phone is connected to the PC,with BT,i can't ping the IP(192.168.0.1) or most of the other i tried using IpView,so i'm not going trough the trouble of seting up a WebServer that might be of no use at all.

I think what he did, was to set a new Connection using the bluetooth/GPRS trick and just connecting to the URL of the video via the DSL line, not using an IP back through the pc

@DeepBlue,we know that works.I was trying to to make it work locally,without using any kind of internet connection.

Try this:

Win9x do start->run->winipcfg and try any ip addresses there.
Win2000/XP open a command line and type ipconfig /all and try the ip addresses there.

Alternatively you could try http://YOURCOMPUTERNAME:80 or :8080 if your web server is setup for that port.

YOURCOMPUTERNAME can be found in amongst your networking settings.

I don't want to setup a webserver if i'm not sure it will work.I tried pinging the Ip of my computer while the phone and PC are connected through BT.No response.

Don't know if this is going to help but I just tried running bulletproof FTP server on my pc and connecting with my 7650 using pvplayer. Well, the good news is that bulletproof responded and recognised the 7650 trying to establish a connection, but the bad news is that it would not let it log in and access the movie file. (i set it up so no password was required). Maybe a step forward...?

here is what bulletproof shows (my ip is XXXXX'd out) (movie is y.mp4):

How did you connect to the ftp server?Just through bluetooth?No internet connection of any kind?

yup just bluetooth in the usual way.

Hey Ghostdog. I'm surprised that u are surprised at being able to connect to ftp on Bluetooth locally without internet. It infact is pretty simple.

Andy... i think just being able to connect to ftp server..and even upload and download files Phone <-> PC is onething. But being able to stream out is something else. It would require something like streaming server on the pc. FTP would'nt be able to do it.

I understand there're some free streaming proggies available. I have'nt tried them though.

Regards

this is very simple to do, all u need is a webserver lets say u use apache installing it and config it setup a dir where ur server will be and then putur files there

ur url shud be http://*.*.*.*/filename
put ur real ip in place of *.*.*.*
which u can get by doing Start run ipconfig on windows 2000/xp
or start run winipcfg on windows 98/me
😊 i hope this helps
thx bye! 😛

Guys,the OS's on my PC are not a problem,i'm preety familiar wit ip and newtwork configuration.The thing that bothers me is that i can't ping my PC's ip from the phone(Using IpView).That is why i don't want to go through all the trouble of seting up local web server.

sanjay2402,if file exchange through the ftp protocol is possible then streaming shouldn't be a problem,at least not on the phone side.

u say trouble as if its hard

i have set up webserver on my pc, takes a few seconds

I have also connected to my pc (192.168.0.1) using phone and bluetooth and quite happily seen the files there
i did this for real player

unfortunately, u need streaming software, as http protocol doesnt suport this type of streaming....need an rtsp// server

PS - you will need to set up your network card in your pc to 192.168.0.1 I did this so my xbox has a static internal IP - 192.168.0.8 and not a randomly assigned one by DHCP
