Hello!
I have today updated my playlist, http://koti.mbnet.fi/~syd/lists/index.mvp .
Added couple of new video files and as of today I'm also trying out putting news streams. This means that once per day I'll add Finnish news for streaming. The text file on the playlist will indicate the exact time the news have aired, so you won't end up watching yesterday's news. 😉
On a sidenote, I would use English news video if they were available for me. See my previous post for that request. 😊
Cheers,
** Magic **
In the UK our ISP connections are limited to 9.6k only which is too slow for streaming, thou I beleive Orange offers faster.
But I think the software only supports GPRS anyway as when it looks for a connection it only lists my GPRS connections as selectable.

Hmm... that isn't good at all. In due time there should be phones with more memory, but until then streaming is the only feasible solution. From what I've heard the GPRS fees around Europe are still way too high for mass markets.
Perhaps I should drop down the quality on my videos from 40kbps to ~25 so that ppl with slower transfer rate won't have to buffer constantly. :/

Oplayer supports ISP connections too, if you have Orange then your in buisness, sign up for High Speed Data with them 28.8k 😃
I'm changing to Orange next week, Vodafone are doing the free MMS thing but i'll still have one contract with them.
Magic, out of interest GPRS is supposed to be a 42k connection, T-Mobile appear to throttle this to 21k !!
Cheeky!

Thanks again Magic, great job! I downloaded The Ring clip, seems like a nice scary-movie 😃
Btw, would it be possible to see a Simpsons clip....?
Thanks.

Hi
Have installed successfully and trying to use this and it says "selected internet access point is invalid please select another". I am trying to connect via T-Mobile GPRS - what access settings should I use?
Thanks

Hi
I don't know 'bout T-mobile, but for me atleast I have to use regular GPRS internet settings instead of WAP settings. The same settings I use when I wanna use my phone as a modem to connect to the internet through my laptop. Have you tried those settings? Hope it helps.
Cheers

Hmm... I don't have any Simpsons right now, can get one during the weekend.
I'll have to see about that anyway, one episode is about 21 minutes which is kinda long for a mobile videoclip. Keep those ideas coming! 😊

I can�t get this to work either. I also get "File not found or network error" when I should look at "More videos". I�ve tried the connection I use for webviewer and also the connection I have for wap. Should IP-gateway be 0.0.0.0 as with webviewer? Should it be secure or normal connection? Should I enter any advanced settings? Thanks
[quote="Raveot"]Should IP-gateway be 0.0.0.0 as with webviewer?Thanks[/quote]
Yep, I just use the same connection as with WebViewer and it works like a charm! 😃
Ok, thanks! But at the time it weren�t working correctly, did you find out what was wrong then?
[quote="Raven"]Thanks for the reply, Magic. I've downloaded the "die another day" clip and one more which I deleted. And now suddenly when I try to download or play some more files I just get the "File not found or network error message". This is really frustrating. I'm using the same settings as before, and I've tried wapping over GPRS so I know there's nothing wrong with my network.... Anybody know what the problem might be??
Thanks[/quote]
Do you mean this post? - Nope, sorry, don't know what happend there... :roll: It just started working again...
It works fine on T-Mobile GPRS now - just a problem with getting a GPRS connection. Thanks for your help.

ok guys cause i have nothing better to do i encoded menace II society to .mvq last night. it's at
http://clients.net-performance.co.uk/veh_sec/threesixty/m2s_26.mvq
just did as a test, so if any of you want a look there for the weekend (so i can try and avoid being rumbled for using all the bandwidth), please not too many people.
I didn't maintain aspect ratio cause it was widescreen - the audio's only 6 kbps which explains why its quiet. overall though considering the files only 18meg not bad. need to play around with settings to try and improve the audio.
any suggestions on optimum settings magic marker?
btw, copyright and all that, the file will be gone after the weekend never to reappear and i own it etc and it was meant for personal use until i accidentally posted the url here blah blah blah. if you download delete after 2secs if you don't own the original etc etc.

Well, you can't do anything about the audio since that's the only thing you can have. Video quality I think shouldn't be lower than the 20kbps (20 + 6kbps audio = 26). You can try and filter the original movie audio to remove frequencies that the phone cannot repeat. (<-- complicated & needs special tools)
I've heard through different channels that the next version of Oplayer will be using a different audiocodec, with selectable audio bandwidth so you won't be stuck with the 6kbps in case you want to increase audio quality over the video.
You can get the avi volume higher before encoding with Virtual dub, which is a freeware program and very, very useful tool for recompressing, fixing audio sync and cutting unwanted parts of video clips.

I can�t understand why I get an error message. Both webviewer and wapping runs really fine.
Hey guys.
Theres a new playlist on http://194.164.20.15/frankie.mvp
there is 2 folders now - funnies - porno
Funnies is the best - loads of good stuff constantly changing and adding.
Porno will probably be removed soon - unless you want it!
Have fun 😊

T-Mobile are updating their GPRS system as of Nov 1st.
GPRS will be up and down all day.
Perhaps thats why you are getting errors.
It's working fine on my t-mobile settings. I'm just using their 'picturemessaging' settings.

We are so lucky, here in israel 100MB of data in GPRS only cost 10$, so we can effort ouselves streaming videos.
You lucky bastards! :P Here we get about 5 Megs for $10.... :cry:
I have unlimited megs for about 18 euros. 😃
today is only the 4th day and i already used up my 4Meg which comes with the S$10 monthly fees. After that every kb will be charged S$0.005
here in the philippines, gprs is still free!!! but i seems cant connect to the link that you are giving, can you help me???
[quote="mjsee"]here in the philippines, gprs is still free!!! but i seems cant connect to the link that you are giving, can you help me???[/quote]
If you can connect to it using a regular web browser (example: IE), it should be reachable.
Common mistake is to have a typo in the URL, so you should doublecheck that it's entered in Oplayer open location exactly the same way.
** Magic **
wait, i need a browser to be able to see the list on my 7650??? what browser do i need??? i though i will only use oplayer??? could somebody help me ty
No, no. You should test the URL with your PC. If you type the address on the web browser address bar, then hit enter, you should get either the playlist source or a message that XML page cannot be viewed.
If either of those 2 messages appear, it means that the playlist is online and can be reached with Oplayer as well. You do not need a specific browser for your phone.
** Magic **
oic... oki i done that, it said that "XML page cannot be viewed" now when i go to oplayer to that page, it said that "file not found or network error"
pls help me... does anyone in the philippines tried using oplayer??? im a globe subscriber, i can go surf with my gprs
Well, it took me a while but finally I was able to cough up some real cartoon material.
At http://koti.mbnet.fi/~syd/lists/index.mvp you'll find a link to playlist called "Cartoon" and from there... South Park episode, divided into 3 sections.
I'd like to hear comments on file sizes (are they too big/small) and quality of the clips (eg would you want to drop down on quality for smaller file size, or want better quality but larger files).
Personally I think that the quality is good but the files are bit too large, so maybe in future I'll split them into 4 or 5 parts. See the readme file in playlist for exact file sizes and lengths.
** Magic **
Very nice work as usual, Magic!! 😃
Personally I would prefer a smaller file size since I couldn't download any of them(not enough memory).
Keep up the good work! 😛opcorn:
