I think they are talking about HFS , the HTTP File Server.

bah, windows-only =\

Indeed NFS. Sorry for mixing it up. Never use, never remember. ;)

Hello everybody

I'm planning to buy the Nokia 770 but I need to know if it is possible to watch a Linux VLC streamed video from the nokia?

I don't want to reencode the video and use NFS to access the videos.

Thank you for any information

So there's no way to stream a video from a desktop PC to watch on 770? too bad, must find another device to do so :(

as for me I've been waiting for a way to do that since the day I bought 770 (almost a year ago). I expect Nokia is going to release a new firmware by the end of this year, with, hopefully capability of streaming video. 770 already has Media Streamer for audio and images and promises of video have been hinted. So wait until end of the year

idomcfy: yes, it's possible either as RealVideo or a 770-compatible AVI.

If your VideoLan server is transcoding to a 770-compatible format and streaming that, it should work over HTTP.

HTH,

Andrew

thanks !!! But just seen the rumour about the 770 successor so I'll wait a bit :p

Has someone actually had success with that. I've tried several times with no luck

Succesfully streamed a dvd with this line on the server and mplayer on the 770 without any sync problems (worked with ordinary files too):

vlc -vvv --color dvdsimple:/dev/hdb@2 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=WMV1,vb=384,width=320,height=20 8,acodec=mpga,ab=96,channels=1}:standard{access=ht tp,mux=asf,dst=192.168.2.100:1236}'

Adjust "dst" according to the server ip and port where you want to serve. To width and height chosen by me is for 16:9 aspect ratio. According to garage 240x144 for 16:9 source and 352x288 or 176x144 for 4:3 source are good choices too.
To play a file substitute "dvdsimple:/dev/hdb@2" with its path.
On the 770 open xterm and type:
mplayer -cache 8192 http://<server-ip-and-port>/
and enjoy. Codecs were chosen by me only by trial and error. :p I am sure this can be improved further.

Bye, tira.
