TVersity 0.9.10 Media Server for Windows PC's is now out, where video streaming to - Playstation 3, Wii* and Nokia N800 are now supported, in addition to Xbox 360, UPnP Media Players etc.

Very nice, save wasting any time encoding video files for transfer to your Nokia 800 as TVersity will transcode both local & Network AV files on the fly to a format the Nokia N800 supports as long as the correct codecs and decoders are installed on your PC www.TVersity.com

Now works very well with Media Streamer & Canola streaming Video transcoded to divx where quality is good. I am streaming the DL.TV wmv files via the following RSS feed added to Tversity feeds as a test. http://rssnewsapps.ziffdavis.com/aud...s/DLTV.wmv.xml

What I really like about TVersity is it can be our World Wide Web media to Home Network Media Server for so many different Networked devices. There is a lot more to TVersity than at first glance and I really do suggest giving it a try out if you have a windows PC in your home.

Is there any way to use TVersity and Canola to stream media "on the go" ie while I'm traveling or do you have to use Orb for that. BTW, I tried Orb last night and couldn't figure out how to make it work.

While we are talking about Canola + TVersity to stream audio (to my 770), I have to report a weird problem I've encountered. Every song I have streamed to my 770 stops playing with 23 seconds left to go on the song regardless of how long the entire song is. 17 minute jam - stops with 23 seconds to go. 2 minute Beatles song - stops with 23 seconds left to play. This only happens when streaming with TVersity. Canola plays songs on the MMC card just fine.

any idea what's up ?

How can install it? I've find just .exe.

You install TVersity on a Windows PC and then you access this server using either Media Streamer or Canola which can see AV items shared to them from the TVersity Media Server.

TVersity is able to be provide, Internet AV URL's, RSS Feeds and/or localised Playlists that you enter into it's library as directories/items that can be searched and subsequently played back via appliactions running on the N800

TVersity ensures that when and where the Wi-Fi Network throughput is not powerful enough or the orginating AV file is not supported by the underlying standard media player on the N800, that the format is automatically transcoded to a format that the N800 supports.

You must read the various set-up threads at the TVersity web page to ensure your PC is set up correctly to get the most from TVersity.

This may be a bug of TVersity with the Nokia 770 & N800 suggest you check in TVersity forum and record your issue there. I will also try to check my own mp3's on my N800 using Tversity 0.9.10 and Twonky this evening to see if I experience a similar problem. I assume we are talking about mp3's or perhaps wma's?

It is possible but means a port has to be opened through your PC & Router firewalls to access TVersity on port 41952 for example. I was trying to use Hamachi as this creates a Secure VPN which means no ports need to be left open between the PC and my Nokia 770 and it should work, but had problems with it There is a command line version of Hamachi that runs on the Internet Tablets and I have used it sucessfully to VNC into my XP PC from outside my network securely.

The following is a short extract from the current TVersity release notes for the Nokia N800 :-
Full release notes where for latest release 0.9.10 are currently a work in progress http://tversity.com/support/releasenotes/

I have tried to use the latest flash player GUI on the Nokia N800 and as I suspected it does not appear to work causing memory availability issues. Reading the release notes implies that Flash Player testing for the Wii was only done on a desktop PC using Opera with Flash 7 to simulate a Wii environment. (Wii & PS3 seem to be main Target for this TVersity capability)

Canola or Media Streamer are therefore the current recommended streaming playback applications on the Nokia N800. Note TVersity is apparently transcoding to DivX for the Nokia N800 as this allows streaming whilst files is being transcoded by Tversity from original AV format where/when applicable

Local network works like a charm thru Canola and my 770. Seems to stream video better than previous version but that may be my imagination. Just wish I could figure out how to access it from the road. Can anyone verify that's doable?

It's doable, but it comes at a cost: you'll have to open some ports on your firewall.

Or use a Secure Virtual Private Network (SVPN) software such as Hamachi, so that you do not need to open ports through firewalls and you also are able to maintain a common WWW Hamachi IP address to access your PC & TVersity, rather than an ever changing ISP Providers "provided" external IP for each user of the ISP.

Hamachi needs to be installed on PC & Nokia 770 or N800

There is a command line version of Hamachi available for the Nokia Internet Tablets which is installed at command line and needs root access to install etc.

Please note whilst this method should be fully doable, I have not managed to get it working reliably yet, I had problems getting Hamachi and Tversity talking together when using UPnP players such as Media Streamer

TVersity Library HTML Web browser worked, along with VNC to control PC from the Nokia ;-)

for some reason streaming videos don't work with me, although audio streaming is fine
