Went a slightly different route but got reliable video streaming to finally work on my phone from my movie server at home:
Obtain Market App: VLC Stream & Convert 
Start up VLC on host computer (On port 8091):
vlc -I http –http-host :8091
Start app VLC Stream & Convert
- Select Menu / Connect
- Enter your IP <hostname> and 8091 port
To fix audio lag go to: Menu->Settings->Stream rtsp->Synchronize on audio
Needed to import a certificate to use OpenVPN on Android.
Using Openssl:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in private-cert.crt -inkey private-key.key -certfile ca.crt -name “[friendly name]” -out new-cert.p12
Trying to figure out a way to view live TV / Movies / Video from my A/V devices at home on my Android HTC EVO Phone.
To play a movie:
Start VLC client on Ubuntu:
# vlc -v video.avi -I dummy --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{no-cabac,level=12,vbv-maxrate=384,vbv-bufsize=1000,keyint=75,ref=3,bframes=0},width=320, height=180,acodec=mp4a,ab=64,vb=384}:rtp{dst=,port=4555,sdp=rtsp://server:4555/stream.sdp,mp4a-latm}"
Start Movie Client Stream on Android:
- Open browser
- Browse to “rtsp://server:4555/stream.sdp”
- Watch stream!
To Watch live TV:
vlc -v vlc -v v4l2:///dev/video0 :v4l2-standard=3:v4l2-standard=45056 :v4l2-chroma= :v4l2-input=1 :v4l2-audio-input=0 :v4l2-io=1 :v4l2-width=640 :v4l2-height=480 -I dummy --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{no-cabac,level=12,vbv-maxrate=384,vbv-bufsize=1000,keyint=75,ref=3,bframes=0},width=320, height=180,acodec=mp4a,ab=64,vb=384}:rtp{dst=,port=4555,sdp=rtsp://192.168.13.5:4555/stream.sdp,mp4a-latm}"
Start Movie Client Stream on Android:
- Open browser
- Browse to “rtsp://server:4555/stream.sdp”
- Watch stream!
I am seeing about a 1/2 sec lag on audio and am looking into that. Any help would be appreciated!
vlc -v v4l2:///dev/video0 :v4l2-standard=3:v4l2-standard=45056 :v4l2-chroma= :v4l2-input=0 :v4l2-audio-input=0 :v4l2-io=1 :v4l2-width=640 :v4l2-height=480 :v4l2-tuner=0 :v4l2-tuner-frequency=673250

Once I get a working solution, ill update this post.
Started to work on developing some Android applications on my Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) machine and ran into a few complications during installation of the Eclipse plugin. Started getting a dependency for “org.eclipse.gef” when trying to follow Google’s instructions.
Here is how I did it:
- Ensure Eclipse is installed (sudo apt-get install eclipse)
- Run Eclipse
- Select “Help” -> “Install New Software…”
>>>Repeat the following for the list of repositories<<
- Select "Add"
- Enter the Name and Location of the following
Name: Android Plugin
Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
>>
Name: Data Tools
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/datatools/updates
>>
Name: Web Tools
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/
>>
Name: EMF
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/releases/
>>
Name: GEF
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/
>>>
(You should now be in the “Install” Dialog after adding the above)
- Select “Android Plugin” from the “Work With:”
- Check “Developer Tools”
- Select “Next” button and follow to the end

Mysteriously Apple has rejected the Google Voice apps from their App Store. Apple’s newfound control over content and platform reminds me of a certain add campaign started by Apple in 1984.
