Any Chance of a Placeshifting with WinCE/PocketPC/SmartPhone

[edbmdave]

I would love to placeshift with my IPAQ or Smartphone.. Both support 320x240 resolution...

Any chance it can be made to work, or a client might be made?

[dranockcir]

I second this! I have a Dell Axim X50v and using it as a wireless Placeshifting client would be awesome!

[kerryp24]

Yeah.

I third it.

Since the placeshifting code looks like it uses JAVA...
Couldn't it be modified to work with smartphones (Nokia, Treo 650, ...) also?
I'd be happy to beta any versions (I have one of each ).

I copied over the timeshifting client files to my jasjar which has java runtime installed but the exe file wouldn't run because it wasn't compiled for windows mobile. Perhaps that can be added to the beta, I would love to get the place shifting client working on my devices.

Wouldn't it be sweet to see the SageTV UI on your PDA or Smartphone? And of course not just see it but have it work. Check out this link http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=6034 Nero is making a Media Center for phones and PDAs. I guess there is only 4 of us that want a SageTV client for our mobile devices. I'd buy another license to have it!

I'd love to have it on my Treo 650 as well!

Have you tried the MiniClient???

May not be exactly what you are asking for, but it maybe REAL close.

I would be real intertested in learning if anybody does get this to run on Mini-hardware.

I have a Treo 700w and would love to see this!!!!

I'll throw in another enthusiastic vote for it. I have the Cingular 8125 on windows mobile 2005 and the Treo 650 running palm OS and would love to be able to use it on either.

EDIT for spelling.

Tried it on my Treo 650... Get the following error:

The application descriptor was missing the required MIDlet-Name field.

I wonder what it would take to make it compliant with the version of Java on the Treo...

The treo 700 with verizon runs windows Ce... will sage client 4.10 /place shifter run on CE? Anyone? anyone?

I am planning on buying this phone if it does work!

[steingra]

I would like to have it also for my Dell Axim X50v

I currently use Orb.com to stream Sage files to my Audiovox XV6600 with Windows Mobile 2003, but its far less than reliable. I'd love to get rid of orb and use a Sage client instead! Is this even on the radar Narflex? Opus?

If there's anybody seriously interested in writing a port, send me a PM.

My feelings exactly...

Granted if the version/flavor of JVM on these portable devices match what is provided on a full blown PC. If it is pure Java, what is there to port?

[Narflex]

Any of you that have Java-enabled phones/PDAs, what version of Java do you have on your phone/PDA?

Hi Narflex,

Thanks for showing interest in this! I went to this site http://www.vikdavid.com/mobile/ looking for Java for my Dell Axim x50v and downloaded this free version of Java http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~dat/java.../index_en.html and installed it. When I run the MiniClient.jar file I get this:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: \MiniClient.jar not found in java.lang.ClassLoader$1{urls=[file:////,file:/My Documents/], parent=null}
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass (URLClassLoader.java:902)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass (ClassLoader.java:342)
at java.lang.ClassLoader$1.loadClass (ClassLoader.java:1110)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass (ClassLoader.java:294)
at java.lang.VMMainThread$1.run (VMMainThread.java)
at java.lang.VMThread.run (VMThread.java:120)
JVM exit.

Of cousrse, not knowing crap about any of this, I'm hoping you know what it means.

I have also downloaded IBM's Java for Mobiile Devices but haven't tried it yet.

Again, thanks for showing an interest. It would be SO COOL to have a Placeshifter client running on my PDA.

Ummm... Well, my T-mo SDA has a Java MIDlet Manager to run Java apps. In there, it shows "Runtime MIDP 2.0 v10.1.7.542" if that helps.

I actually have tried to run the miniclient on the SDA. I found a program that says it can create a jad file from a jar so that it can be installed with MIDP. It didn't work obviously.

Coul you give us some more idea on what it would take to port it? Like how much familiarity with java in general and creating midlets in particular? I'm pretty sure most phones use some form of midlet manager.

[FZ1]

Well, just went from knowing absolutely nothing about Java on a mobile device to knowing a hair more than that. I learned that my Audiovox XV6600 (Verizon Wireless) came with no Java or MIDlet client. Verizon tech support (for whatever that's worth) said that none of their devices come with a Java client, not even the new Windows Mobile 5 ones. After some more research it looks to me like users of devices with windows mobile 2003 have the most success with a java client from IBM. Its the "WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment 5.7.2 - MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition", "Download for Windows host". It can be found here http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp...id=DVDE-634P22 but the link may require IBM registration. This link http://www6.software.ibm.com/sdfdl/v...50304-1743.exe may work for a direct download, or I can upload it if someone gives me a site.
After installation I'm now able to use "MIDlet HQ" to install/run .jar files, and the games work great. Running the Sage MiniClient gives me the "The application descriptor was missing the required MIDlet-Name field." error.
I'm happy to do any more testing if it would help, but I won't be the one to write any ports.
