With some help from some kind souls who helped me do some testing, I was able to get http streaming to work! :approve: Unfortunately, as the thread poster described, it does not work with WMP. Are there any other media players (besides VLC and Betaplayer) that would be capable of receiving an http stream?

Now start a stream and on your PDA browse to http://your_pc's_ip_address:8080/admin/browse.html?dir=c:/ if all is well you should be able to add files to your playlist by remote control, simply replace the drive letter after ?dir= to see other drives on your system but bear in mind you need to use regular slashes as VLC was designed for Linux.

I was able to add an mp3 file onto the playlist but cannot actually play it on Betaplayer. Whenever I tap on to play, nothing happens. Thanks. :)
