Last night I noticed that Media Streamer is now available for the N8x0's with OS2008 from the standard OS 2008 Repositories. (Media Streamer version 1.2-22)

Not had chance to test it, but wanted users interested in local network UPnP media playback on their devices to be aware of availability.

I found it by simply updating my packages in the application manager and checking what programs were available to install.

The UI Graphically looks and behaves the same as previous versions all be it modified to look nice with default OS2008 theme, testing will find out what's new/fixed over and above general availability for "Chinook" OS 2008

A quick couple of screen grabs, to confirm I am running Media streamer on my N800. (Using OS 2008 Beta, whilst the rush is on to download official release today, pleased I installed this yesterday before today's rush on repositories





Seems to run fine Audio streaming on my network, but then that is the point :-)

Streaming Video and Pictures seems OK too, where I am using TVersity as my UPnP server for initial testing. I feel that the Media Streamer application is running stable, on my N800.

Thanks for the screenshots. It looks VERY nice.

hi,

how can I connect media streamer to my PC? n800 can not find it in connection list. Do I have to set up something on PC first?

Thanks!

I have just started using this software and love it. I use TVersity media server software on my Vista box. So far, so good.

Using it as well to watch Heroes episodes. Works a treat

It does a great job of downsizing the videos as well. I find that I can't view the originals on the N810 (recognises it, but toooo slow). But the Media Streamer does a great job.

A couple of questions though if anyone has any ideas...

Is there any way to get the seek to work (jump forward/rewind). I just get Seek failed whenever I try ?

Anyone tried Webot as well. What's the differentce, how do they compare ?

Thanks,

Zuber

Is anybody able to use the seek function in Media Streamer? I get "seek failed" whenever I try, on both video and audio. I've tried every Upnp server that is out there, and can't get seek to work. I know the servers support it, because when I stream to Windows media player, I can seek.
Is this broken in media streamer, or is it something else?

Bummmmmmmmp. Same issue here with the "Seek failed" error message.
