Any Chance of a Placeshifting with WinCE/PocketPC/SmartPhone

[mkanet]

I am hoping there's at least one sageTV developer attending this Developer Conference right now:

I'm using Orb on my iphone. Works ok enough, but I would prefer either a sageclient or placeshifter on it though.

The problem with ORB is that it's garbage. It's backend on the server side is extremely clunky. I used it for about a year.

I agree. Orb's price is nice, but I was really unhappy with it's performance. I'd pay for a mobile version of Sage Placeshifter... Better yet, I'd give beer money to the developer who tackles this project...

It seems like overkill for me to run Orb for one feature, but I do it as well.

Honestly I only use it for the wow factor so far. I've never had a situation where I needed to use it for anything more then showing people my pr0n at home.

You could get a sling box and connect it to an extender..

I didnt know that a slingbox supported SageTV's extender. Does it really?

I've read of it being done on this forum with an HD extender, but not with an MVP.

[bcjenkins]

I sent Sling an MVP and HD Extender remote. They are making a profile for the HD Extender but haven't been successful, yet, with the MVP remote. I'll post more when I get it.

Thanks Ben! Keep us updated.

I made a profile that works with my slingbox and mvp. It's based off a dvd player profile but it gets the job done.

I don't own a Sling Box, so I am at a disadvantage there It's on my list of things for 2K9 though. P.P.P.P.P.P.P. (The 7 Ps)

Bump!!!1!

I reckon that this could be the next unbelievably cool thing for Sage. The green button crowd are still hanging for vaporsled :P. How cool would (dual release) Sage Placeshifter for WM6 and jesusphone3G be?

Here's a teaser terminal services pic that I posted ages ago here.



Have there been any advances post java opensourcing which would make this easier now?

Mick.

PS: The poor old JasJam is going to be pensioned off once this becomes available in Australia. OOOoooooh!!!

Here it is 2009 and this thread was started YEARS ago, why is there no placeshifter for my WM 6.1 (xv6800)?

Are the request of the user base that unimportant? I have watched Sagetv add animations (which I don't recall ANYONE requesting) but I have not seen them working on this, that HAS been request MANY MANY times. What gives???

I have paid my hard earned money to sageTV (Don't get me wrong, I love SageTV) so I think my request should carry some weight, yet I've seen sagetv add many features that I could not find a request for, That seems like a Microsoft trick.

Could we please get a placeshifter client for Windows Mobile???

[bcjenkins]

Your requests don't matter as much in the forums as they do in email. Have you sent one in there?

For those curious: Sling Media is still working on creating remote profiles. It has not been an urgent thing for me, but about every month I send along an email asking where it is and occasionally escalating. I think it should be soon though based on my last email exchange. This will allow you to connect an MVP or HD extender to a sling box and take advantage of their mobile clients for WM, Symbian, Palm, and soon Blackberry. (they also have PC and Mac support which could remove that burden from your SageTV server as well)

In my opinion there is not enough demand for a WMO mobile client from SageTV's user base for them to justify the development resources required to create a PS client for WM or any mobile platform.

Excuse me??? You're posting on page 7 of a thread specifically asking for this functionality! If there wasn't much demand for it, I don't think this thread would have reached page 7. If you don't want it, fine, but that doesn't mean that there aren't a whole lot of other people who do.
