Free streaming video to pocket pc software for linux

StreamTuned plays and records audio and video streams using mplayer as backend. It also reads stream urls and related information from playlists, webpages or XML/RSS feeds.
Streamtuned can act as Podcast client and allows for local and remote (webservice) access to the repositories containing your stream urls.
Enhancements:
- compiles with mythtv v0.18
- podcast support
- playlist cache (to be nice to xml feeds)
- file download support (used by podcast)
- item detail information screen, launches viewer for html/text data in xml feeds
- custom colors in settingsrc (streamtuned only), icon usage
- "copy and paste" stream items between repositories
- parsing of (icecast) xml and other playlists though external (custimizable) scripts
- workaround for mplayer hanging on .pls files without -playlist option
- improved parsing of mplayer (error) messages
- bug removal: tempfile blocking multiuser play, recovery from mplayer lockups, etc.
- support for static html stream storages (on webservers refusing POST requests)
- separate dump window showing mplayer stdout, allows for manual stream url start.
- multiple customizable CustomStreamEvents (mplayer output events) in player.xml

PicoStreamer is a complete server for live audio/video streaming. It can stream MP3, AAC, and video live using Flash FLV. PicoStreamer does not require any Flash server. It only needs a Web server with Perl and PHP. It requires neither expensive dedicated servers nor compilation on the target machine.
A source client (for Win32) is included. A management/playing framework written in PHP makes PicoStreamer simple to use. The PicoIcy component acts as a local shoutcast server emulator, so you can use your preferred shoutcast source client to stream or stream Flash format directly from the Web.
Enhancements:
- Added live flash audio/video streaming support.
- Added Flash encoder.
- Added Flash player also for mp3.
- Added Brasilian (PT) language.
- Added dynamic playlist chooser.
- Added content-length managing.
- PicoIcy now in tray-bar.
- Fixed list blocking on weird chars.
- Removed php ctype_digits dependence.
- Removed perl html::entitites dependence.
- Fixed many minor bugs.

RtspProxy is a proxy server for multimedia streaming services based on the RTSP protocol.
The current version is a complete rewrite from scratch in Java of previous versions based on C++. The goal is to build a robust and scalable system usable in production environment.
The proxy is based on an asynchronous network framework, Apache MINA , which is built on Java NIO. This framework does permit to RtspProxy to handle high loads and concurrent users.
RTSP Caching Proxy is a proxy server that works with the RTSP protocol in multimedia streaming reproduction. RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is an emerging protocol for "session initiation" scopes, its purpose is to establish the conditions of an audio-video streaming session. The streaming data is then sent over other channels using other protocol such as RTP (Real Time Protocol).
Using a RTSP proxy does permits to access multimedia content without the need of being directly connected to the internet, for example being behind a corporate firewall.
Enhancements:
- A preliminary implementation of the IP address and host name filter was added.
- The Windows startup script was fixed.
- Session data is properly cleared when a session is closed.
- Only a UDP port pair is used for all RTP/RTCP packet handling and sending for all the connected clients.

Mediastreamer is library written in C that allows you to create and run audio and video streams. It is designed for any kind of voice over IP applications.

It features RTP connectivity, audio codecs (Speex, iLBC, G711, GSM), video codecs (MPEG4, H263, Theora), I/O from soundcards, wav files, webcams, echo-cancelation, conferencing, and various other utilities.

Mediastreamer has a modular design that makes it extensible through plugins. This is the media-streaming component of linphone, a GPL SIP video phone.

Video::Xine is a Perl interface to libxine.

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Xine;

# Create and initialize the Xine object
my $xine = Video::Xine->new(
config_file => "$ENV{HOME}/.xine/config",
);

# Load a video driver
my $video_driver = Video::Xine::Driver::Video->new($xine,"auto",1,$x11_visual);

# Create a new stream (put your video driver under $DRIVER)
my $stream = $xine->stream_new(undef,$DRIVER);

# Open a file on the stream
$stream->open(file://my/movie/file.avi)
or die "Couldnt open stream: ", $stream->get_error();

# Get the current position (0 .. 65535), position in time, and length
# of stream in milliseconds
my ($pos, $pos_time, $length_time) = $stream->get_pos_length();

# Start the stream playing
$stream->play()
or die "Couldnt play stream: ", $xine->get_error();

# Play the stream to the end
while ( $stream->get_status() == XINE_STATUS_PLAY ) {
sleep(1);
}

A perl interface to Xine, the Linux movie player. More properly, an interface to libxine, the development library. Requires installation of libxine.

Xine by itself does not provide a user interface, and neither does this interface. Instead, you must set up the window using your own windowing code, and pass the window information to Xine.

Pocket Linux is an almost minimal, one floppy linux system designed to quickly convert PC workstation into secure linux-based workstation using ssh to connect to remote host (other networking clients are also supported).
It supports bootp for determining host IP and other network parameters (theres also manual configuration possible, but bootp is recommended).
In addition to workstations equipped with a network card (ethernet or arcnet), you can also use Pocket Linux on a PC equipped with a modem. Modem is automatically detected and then PPP connection is made.
The idea came up some time in 1996 or so. The distribution then was not perfect, but still it shown it was a great idea. It wasnt maintained for about year or so, until I took it up again in the early January 1998. After a complete rebuild Pocket Linux 2.00 was released. It soon gained a huge number of happy users, whose ideas helped its development.
The aim is to provide a small and efficient workstation that autoconfigures as much as possible and lets securely use the network from almost everywhere.
Current version is a nice attempt and future ones will enhance the automation and support for various network equipment and protocols, becoming a total solution. Future plans also include side projects like one floppy router.
In order to understand some of the config options its useful to know something about operations that are done during bootup (in order to automatically configure the network). These are, in order (the later attempts are made if the earlier ones dont set-up the network):
- attempt to setup the network using BOOTP
- attempt to reuse previous manual configuration
- modem detection
- attempt to setup modem conection
Most of the config options switches these operations on and off.
Main menu
You can choose the following network configuration commands from the main menu (only the ones that make sense in the present context are displayed):
- Options - allows setting few binary parameters controlling automatic network configuration and modem handling.
- BOOTP query - attempts to configure network (ethernet or arcnet) using BOOTP. Normally its automatically done during bootup, but this can be switched off.
- Manual configuration - allows manual setting of network configuration parameters (ethernet or arcnet).
- Detect modem - detects serial port the modem is on and its parameters (transfer rate, initialization commands).
- Dial PPP using predefined configuration - creates modem connection (PPP) using one of (up to ten) remembered configurations. By default only TPSA (0202122) configuration is remembered.
- Dial PPP using new configuration - creates new PPP configuration and sets up a modem connection using the newly created config.
- Disconnect PPP - disconnects modem connection.
- Mount /usr via NFS - mounts remote /usr filesystem via NFS. It will be automatically mounted during each Pocket Linux bootup if its turned on in configuration options.
- Exit - Do not config the network - exits the program without configuring the network.
Configuration options
There are following options available:
- Probe network with BOOTP - switches automatic BOOTP probing during bootup on and off. On by default.
- Reuse manual network configs - if on, an attempt is made to restore network configuration during bootup. Netconf remembers 10 most recent manual configurations along with network cards MAC addresses. If cards MAC address matches one of the remembered ones, assigned configuration is used. On by default.
- Automatically setup PPP - switches automatic attempt to create modem connection during bootup on and off. Its made with the first config on PPP configs list. On by default.
- Reuse modem configuration - if on, modem detection is not performed during bootup - instead most recently used modem configuration is used. Off by default.
- Pulse dialing - switches dialing mode used for modem connections between tone dialing (DTMF) and pulse dialing. Default is off (that is tone dialing).
- Automount disk partitions - switches on and off automatical disk partitions mounting (ext2 and vfat filesystems) and swap partition activation during bootup. On by default.
- Add swap file if low memory - switches on and off automatical swap file creation during bootup. Swap file is created if, and only if, theres less than 16 MB memory available (including potentially activated swap partitions) and theres a disk partition on which it could be created available. On by default.
- Automount NFS /usr - switches on and off /usr filestem mounting via NFS during bootup. NFS path to the filestem must be set using "Mount /usr filesystem via NFS" command in main menu. Off by default.
Manual network card configuration
You can enter network configuration parameters in this window:
- This machines IP - enter IP number for this computer here
- Network mask - enter netmask here. If omitted, mask will be calculated based on IP (which will not necessarily be right).
- Broadcast address - enter network broadcast address here. If omitted broadcast address will be calculated based on IP (not mask! - which will not necessarily be right).
- Default gateway - enter IP address of default network gateway (router) here.
- Nameserver IP(s) - enter one or more (separated by spaces) name servers IP addresses here. Can be omitted, but then domain names couldnt be used.
- Default domain(s) - you can enter one or more (separated by spaces) domain names to search host if incomplete domain names will be used. Its optional.
PPP configuration
You can enter modem connection configuration parameters in this window:
- Config name - config name (used in existing configuration selection menu).
- Phone number - phone number to dial (eg. 0w202122 for TPSA access modems).
- Username - username to send to remote server
- Password - password to send to remote server
- Nameserver IP(s) - enter one or more (separated by spaces) name servers IP addresses here. Can be omitted, but then domain names couldnt be used.
- Default domain(s) - you can enter one or more (separated by spaces) domain names to search host if incomplete domain names will be used. Its optional.
Because of permanent configuration that is kept on the floppy you should remember to:
- dont write protect the floppy
- dont remove the floppy from the drive (at least during network configuration)
Enhancements:
- bugfixes in netconf reuse code
- disk partitions automounting, swap partitions autoactivating
- automatic swap file creation
- extended support for NFS mountable /usr
- PS/2 mouse support
- new startup logo
