Streming to mobilphone

[HiSpeed]

Hi;

I have a Qtek 8310 and wonder if it’s possible to stream radio/music direct to my Mobil phone (wap-version)? My cell phone doesn’t support frames. If not, can you include this function in upcoming versions?

Hi,

As you probably are aware of, there is already a wap interface (http://yourhost/subsonic/wap). However, there is no way to start streaming from that interface - only playlist management.

If you have a streaming-capable player on the phone, you might try typing the URL directly in the player (http://yourhost/subsonic/stream) and see what happens.

I am, however, planning on implementing one or both of the following:
1. Adding an option to start the stream in the wap interface.
2. Implementing a new lean html interface suitable for presentation on phones and pda's.

When i open http://yourhost/subsonic/stream. What does it strem and from where?

It will resolve the player by IP address, and play the corresponding playlist.

Hi, the info posted below are quite helpful, but for my case, my player only support rstp:// and i tried replacing with http://hostname/subsonic/stream, it will still add the rstp://http://hostname/subsonic/stream.

Is there anyway to resolve this issue ?

I assume you mean RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). There is currently no support for RTSP in Subsonic.

What player are you using?

I'm using my Sony Ericsson P900 Built-in Media Player, It is recognised SonyEricssonP900/R102 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 Rev/MR4 on Subsonic Player Type.

I am currently working a way to work this with Orb. It won't be the same quality, but it will let you stream. I am going to set up a static player that orb will connect to to stream the audio.

OKay, this isn't the best way to handle it, but it is a quick and dirty fix to get it to work. You will need to get and install Orb on a PC. You will then create a static player such as player10 or something. I would suggest titling it to mobile or something similar so you can remember what it is.

Once you have Orb setup, you will go into orb and tell it a customer internet channel. You will then give it the static player address such as: http://yourhost/subsonic/stream?player=10&suffix=.mp3

Once you have done that, Orb will check it and create a link for it. Then from your mobile phone you can go in and listen to that stream. Now you will still need to create a playlist on a PC or possible from the WAP interface. This will get you up and running on phones that don't have a stand along player like WM5 or Palms.

Alright... i guess using URL and hardcoding the predefined player would definately help..

The problem i will be facing then is when i key in 'http://yourhost/subsonic/stream?player=10&suffix=.mp3' on my mobile, it'll prompt me an error 'access denied'.

And when checked on the details, it automatically replaces the 'http://' with 'rtsp://'. And it'll never be able to allow me to access the link.

I assume the only way to resolve this portion is unless i figure out a way to make my place accept 'http://'.

No, if you do as I explained above, you will be able to stream to your phone. I can access my subsonic with my SPH-a920 no problem going through Orb. As it stands right now, there is no way to do it directly into Subsonic.

I've been able to get music to stream directly from Subsonic using GSPlayer. I'm using a Windows Mobile 5 Samsung I730 phone, and I have a separate login created for the mobile device with the bitrate limited to 128kbps. I have GSPlayer set up to handle .m3u extensions, and I use the web browser to connect to the main http://yourdomain.com/subsonic site and load a playlist from there, opening the stream. I had some trouble with it before I limited the bitrate to 128kbps, but other than that it's working like a dream.

Thanks for an amazing media server!!

[sindre_mehus]

Neat! Thanks for sharing.

I haven't tried it myself, but maybe it's more convenient to use http://yourdomain.com/subsonic/playlist.view instead. That way you don't get all the heavy frame stuff in your phone's browser.

I guess it will work as long as the browser supports cookies, and you've selected "Remember me" in the login page.
