This application may be one of the best applications ever for the iPhone. It allows you access to your pictures and music from your computer streamed over wifi to your iPhone. But, there’s more! Video… not just video, recorded video from Windows Media Center. Not just recorded video, LIVE video streaming from your Windows Media Center PC. There’s more! Live webcams! YouTube! You’ve gotta watch this video to see all the features! OrbLive is available through the Ste Packaging Source under the Multimedia section.

I’m still waiting for an iTunes-like sync over wifi.
Music, iCal, Videos, iPhoto, Mail and AddressBook.

There another orb-like program called “Weezo”. I think that it’s quicker and easier to use, but there not yet a native application for it.

Do you need to have cable tv plugged into your computer for this to work?
[Reply]
Multinova reply on May 8, 2008:
Yes you need a tv card installed and your cable plugged in.
It can however also stream DVB broadcasts to your iPhone.
Douglas reply on May 8, 2008:
I am just using an antenna for local broadcast.

Now imagine a huge interconnected wifi network (city, state, nationwide - however) that streams media anywhere you go. I, for one, welcome this new distraction!

Does your PC have to be on all the time for this to work???
[Reply]
May 8th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Not to sound dumb but i dont get what this app is for… wouldnt you have to be within that wifi access point to do this? if so why not just do that stuff from the computer?
[Reply]
fern reply on May 8, 2008:
no you just need to have wifi and orb installed on your pc and it has to be logged in then you simply log onto orb anywhere u can get a connection and there you have it…

Very nice features. Webcam was detected without installation, custom Internet Radio is possible (premiere!!!) and photo-viewer without syncing iPod with PC.
BUT: It can´t play iTunes-DRM-Songs
[Reply]
Thailar reply on May 9, 2008:
burn a cd full of drm songs and reimport them to iTunes. unless you have a lot of songs, then it would be a waste of cd’s.
May 8th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Can this work with DirectTV? If so, how will i be able to set that up?
[Reply]
May 8th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Yea, it really would be nice for a program like this on a mac…Man what a concept the iPhone interfacing with a Mac…

Come on people??.. I dont see the hype in this app at all????….
totally useless, why not just play it off your computer???
I dont get it??…
[Reply]
Sandman reply on May 8, 2008:
How are you going to play it off of your computer if you are at work or at an airport? Or you might be at a friends and you want to show them some pictures or a video. And if you have wireless at work, you can strea all your songs to your iphone, so you have access to over 100 GBs of music instead of the 8GB or 16GB limit of your iphone.

and this link:
http://www.touchrepo.com/Tweaks/NewPreferences.zip
Is this the one you also used, or did you get it through installer? If so, which source did you use and is this 1.1.4 compatible?
Thanks in advance for the info!

I wrote a server (for personal use) that you can use to transfer or stream any video to your iPhone… It’s much simplier but works for me…

theatman reply on May 12, 2008:
Great! Especially because it works over LAN, should be a lot quicker then. Do you have the download link for me because I couldn’t find it on the google code page. And a brief explanation on how it works maybe?
EssL reply on May 12, 2008:
It’s a Ruby on Rails server, so you should have RoR installed…
Also you need svn…
just run
`svn checkout http://iphone-streamer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ iphone-streamer`
`cd iphone-streamer`
Then you should edit the app/model/video.rb, and change the paths to your video path (and others if you want to download videos too)
`./script/server`
It’s still in development, so there’s no easier way, sorry…
Enjoy.

this app works awesome! i have a tv tuner in my pc, and now i can watch live tv anywhere over wifi. it took some 3rd party drivers to get my tuner to work with it though, but at least it works!

Any Mac users totally pissed at being treated like second class citizen by companys like ORB, by not providing a native app to work with iPhone (HELLO!!! primarily a companion Apple product), I suggest you tell the leader of development at ORB.
