Hey!

Does anyone out there know how i can stream an regular avi(Compressed with divx/xvid or mpeg2ts (transport stream)) to my axim x50v, need to reencode it so it wohnt take too much bandwidth too.

I'm need to sream from a linux machine too my axim x50v with wm2003 a02.

Any help is appreciated!

Have a nice weekend folks!

I'm sadly guessing the linux knowledge in this forum is limited - 36 views no posts.
Keep up viewing - maybe somday someone will answer me

Have a nice weekend fellow axim users!

I don't use linux myself, but wouldn't an apache web server hosting the files serve them for streaming?

Well trying to transcode to xvid or divx on the fly will basically be impossible given any decent quality source file (and assuming decent output). I'm assuming you would be connecting w/ wifi to your network, in which case you should be able to just stream your larger original files as they are. (Unless you really can't use that much bandwidth?) Players like Betaplayer can do amazingly well with high quality video. I've viewed a bunch movies in xvid format from linux Samba shares just fine. However, wifi is a battery eater so there is a real tradeoff there, nothing beats having them on an SD, CF, or microdrive.

I've never used VLC except as a player on the machine itself, but I thought VLC was written as a streaming tool.

I don't know what client you'd use on the Axim side.

BetaPlayer can be used with VLC as server using http protocol with asx/ogg file format and preferable mpeg4 video and mp3 audio codec.

Gotta look more into vlc then - thanks for the replies ppl!

Keep up the good work!

Even if its not detailed, how about giving us a how-to if/when you get it working.

Cheers,
