Possible to stream from PC to new G4 box?

Subject says it all really .....I've just bought a G4 BT youview box & would like to know how (if it can even be done), how I can stream video content to the BT youview box from my PC?

If you are just wanting to stream video to your tv from your pc, it is quite easy, provided that both the pc and the tv have HDMI ports.   You just need a wifi adaptor to your pc (or I suppose you could use the ethernet cable, but mine is reserved for my YouView box.)
By using the HDMI cable, you can use the tv speakers for sound - just make the necessary adjustments on your pc settings.
Beware however that older titles when streamed don't fill a modern widescreen tv screen fully - either they are in 4:3 format or letterbox to preserve the original aspect ratio.
I'm not technically minded and I managed it from scratch as an experiment, so others should find it all easy too.

  • Still possible to stream from rhapsody?

    so I pulled out my DMP100 + DMRW1000 which I haven't used in a couple years.  I got everything setup and working except Rhapsody.  Is it still possible to stream from Rhapsody?  Cisco Media Player connects to rhapsody and I can browse everything, however when I try and play I get error "Could not download from the Rhapsody server. Please check your network settings and try again. Press OK to continue.".  Then I go to Cisco Account Management (https://services.linksys.com/home-central/account/login.html?lcid=1033), login, click services and get this error "Error 500: Method invocation failed during rendering of Velocity view with name 'services/index': Invocation of method 'getSubscriptionStateMessage' in class com.cisco.account.commons.Utility threw exception org.springframework.context.NoSuchMessageException: No message found under code 'Unknown Subscription Status' for locale 'en_US'. at services/index.vm[line 161, column 42]; reference [accountUtility], method 'getSubscriptionStateMessage'; nested exception is org.springframework.context.NoSuchMessageException: No message found under code 'Unknown Subscription Status' for locale 'en_US'.
    I'm hesitant to sign up for account at Rhapsody because I'm not sure it will sync with Cisco account.

    Still no luck.  I even signed up for rhapsody account with identical email address and password as Cisco account.  When I try and play from Cisco Media Center I get "Rhapsody service download error".  When I login to Cisco account to configure services there are no services to choose from and webpage reports error.

  • Possible to stream from FMLE to another (desktop)computer?

    This is some kind of a challenge: I'm trying to find a
    sollution for streaming a video signal from one computer
    (preferably with FMLE) and pick up the video stream on another
    computer and show the video fullscreen.
    So far it seem to me that FMLE is only able to deliver the
    video stream to a Flash Media Server. Is this correct?
    I'm hoping it is possible to stream the video from FMLE and
    "pick up" that single stream from another computer with maybe a
    program like VLC (or another application? - I just read that VLC
    supports RTMP streams), and show the video fullscreen.
    In theory, maybe I can use Flash Media Server for this, if it
    is able to show the video it's picking up fullscreen.
    Any suggestions or thoughts would be apreciated!
    regards

    Windows Media Encoder and Player as a combination can do this "direct pull" from an encoder to a player without a server in the middle.  But in all the years of commercial live streaming I have done in 10 years, Flash Media Encoder can not be operated in the same way.  A Flash Server has to be in the middle.

  • Is it possible to stream from my iphone to other devices?

    There is strong evidence to suggest the AppleTV will be updated in the near future to support 1080p video.
    If you believe the rumour sites (iPhone 5 anyone?) there is evidence to suggest the AppleTV will be updated to support 1080p video. However, no evidence of a timescale for the update has been found, so not necessarily "in the near future".

  • I can stream from ios to new airport express but not from windows 7 or powermac G5

    I have new airport express and older apple tv on my network.  Both are connected and found by all devices - Windows 7 laptop, Powermac G5 and all ios devices.  I can stream music via airplay to both airport express and apple tv from ios devices (one at a time of course).  I can stream from itunes to Apple TV but cannot connect to the airport express!  It shows up and I get the dredded error: An error occured while trying to connect...
    I tried some of the many ipv6 suggestions that I've seen here but nothing is working. 
    Anyone have the setup?  Is this an airport express setup issue?  Please help!!!

    OK, I'm tipping my hat to Apple's (new) online experts. Great job.

    Since all iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer, why not play the music with iTunes on your computer? You can stream from your iTunes library on your computer via wi-fi, but not from your iPhone, and you can use your iPhone as a remote for your iTunes on your computer.

  • No sound from optical on NEW SkyHD+ box

    Hi all, I've read a few posts already about this issue and I like many others cannot get surround sound from the Sky box via OPTICAL cable to my Pioneer surround sound amp system. The SkyHD+ box is brand new so was forced to buy an optical cable to link to my Pioneer AXD 7305 system. The Pioneer plays the  5.1 sound via blu ray no problem using Coaxal but as try as I may I cannot get the Sky box to deliver surround sound using optical.  My set up is: Panasonic TXP42G20B TV linked to SkyHD box via HDMI cableSky box Sound Settings set to "Dolby D" for both Digital Audio AND Digital HDMISky Box connected to Pioneer AXD 7305 via NEW optical cable from OPTICAL OUT on Sky boxPioneer AXD 7305 set to "Video 1 OPTICAL input" I rang Sky Support & they just suggested the sound settings set to "Dolby D" which I have done. Please help if you can.

    You may have tried it but have you set the sound settings to NORMAL. Mine is connected by optical to a soundbar and works with both settings.

  • Streaming From A Desktop

    I've been searching for an answer online, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
    I have Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 installed and running, using a USB web cam as a source. 
    Simply put, is it possible to stream from a local desktop machine? Every tutorial refers to downloading an XML config file, allowing you to stream to a service such as justin.tv.  But that's now what I want to do! 
    In the past I used a Microsoft utility to stream video and audio from my desktop.  Does Flash Media Live Encoder allow you to do this?  Do I need to run a web server like IIS?  And why can't I find a version of Flash Media Server to download? 
    I can create an HTML page with the code to display the video stream, using this utility:
    http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/#
    But I'm still missing how to setup and configure a server, of some sort.
    Thank you.

  • Can I stream from my apple tv to another apple device?

    My TV speakers are bad...really bad.  I use a Bose Sound Dock to listen to music with my ipod and iphone but I would love to use it as sound from my tv.  Due the the Sound Dock only having aux in v. sereo in, I think my only option is to stream to the device.  Is it possible to stream from the apple tv to the ipod/iphone through a wireless connection?
    Thanks for any tips or advice in advance.
    Cheers,
    JW

    It can output to wireless speakers that work with airplay.

  • Streaming from CD player

    if there's an application for that DJ system running on your machine, you may be able to use Airfoil.

  • Photo stream from 2 iPhones to 1 Mac

    My wife and I each have an iPhone using our own Apple IDs.  However, we only have 1 iPhoto library which is on our shared Mac under my Apple ID.  I don't want to create another iPhoto library and I wondered, is it possible to stream from our two phones to one iPhoto account using the Cloud?

    No, at least not yet. Maybe it'll be something to come along in an update.
    It's a little weird, on Windows you can sinc Photostream to a folder, but on the Mac you can only sinc to iPhoto or Aperture. If on a Mac you could sinc to a folder, then you could do that with one of the phones and have a simple Automator application automatically import those into your 1 iPhoto Library.

  • Is it possible to use an AirPort Time Capsule as both a Time Machine and an external hard drive from which to stream from?

    I recently purchased a new 2TB Time Capsule. I purchased it in hopes that I can set it up in 2 ways.
    1. Empty my almost completely full MacBook harddrive onto it (mostly movies, music, and photos) that I can stream directly from via iTunes and my Apple TV (this will allow me to free up much needed space on my MacBook)
    2. Use it as a wireless Time Capsule to back up what is left on my harddrive
    I currently use another external harddrive as a time machine but it is a cumbersome process. I know that Time Capsule's weren't built to be partined for needs such as this, but I've been told by Apple that it is possible. Does anyone know how? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    1. Empty my almost completely full MacBook harddrive onto it (mostly movies, music, and photos) that I can stream directly from via iTunes and my Apple TV
    Yes, you can use the Time Capsule to provide both a wired and wireless network AND media storage to stream from an iTunes host device to an Apple TV. As an example, you can place your iTunes Library on either the TC's internal HDD or an external USB HDD attached to the TC. You can then access this library from iTunes located on a Mac or PC, and then, stream it to the Apple TV.
    2. Use it as a wireless Time Capsule to back up what is left on my harddrive
    Yes, you can use the TC as a backup destination for either Time Machine or any other network-ready backup program. Again you can either use its internal HDD or an attached USB HDD for this purpose.

  • New Airport Express: Stream from iOS5 devices to multiple AEs?

    Hi all,
    is it possible to stream music from iOS5 devices (iPhone4/iPad3/Apple TV 3) to multiple (new) Airport Express devices?
    Thanks.

    Streaming music to Airplay simultaneously on/with iTunes is 100% clear.
    But as mentioned, at the German Apple website it's a bit vaguely described for the new Airports.
    Since iOS5 I can stream music to my existing Airport Express (pre the new release) from my iPhone/iPad only to one Airport at the same time. Of course I can choose a single Airport one by one, but music plays only on one at the same time.
    Apple increased the Airport selling prices by some 10$/€, so I hope it's the "fee" for the functionality to stream music to all new Airports simultaneously from the iOS devices :-D
