PiMPStreamer v0.5 - Full Speed! |
Listed in: Homebrew Applications, Wi-Fi Tags: psp homebrews
Ó

DickyDick1969 has done it again and has given us a new version of PiMPStreamer! DickyDick1969 seems to be very happy about this release, and it is no secret why! This version is a major improvement from the previous versions because it now streams your "PiMP" videos from your PC to your PSP at original frame rate, making it full speed! This has been the most demanded request for this streaming program, and it is now reality! If you have any questions on how to run PiMPStreamer, check out DickyDick's website. DickyDick1969 would also like to thank those that gave him donations, and he greatly appreciated them. For those wondering, he still needs more money for his 2.x PSP (that's a hint!).

Just a thought. Good work again. Oh one more question when you push square to fill the buffers whats the maximum buffer available? Assuming a 54g connection with optimal bandwidth would pausing a video for 10 seconds completely fill the video buffer?
Thanks,

the bottom line is that this app is based off of PMPmod which runs Kernal Mode
so until kernal mode can be accesed in 2.xx, your s.hit out of luck of running this on anything higher than 1.5

#44 You can use this app to stream videos online. In the .ini file on your PSP>GAME>PiMPSTREAMER folder, put your WAN IP instead of a LAN IP.
Then go to your router, set up the virtual server/firewall to route traffic on port 3333 to the IP of the computer you're running PiMPstreamer on.
What should happen is your PSP will attempt to connect to the WAN IP listed and your firewall'll route traffic from it to the IP of the PC running pimpstreamer.
Note: to control the bitrate on the go, download Pocket VNC viewer for PSP. You can remote desktop to your comp and change the bitrate on PiMPstreamer's main window.
BTW, the dl.qj.net version of this is corrupted, every time i download it it never opens. Eboot.pbp's corrupted. The one on D1ckyd1ck's homepage works tho.

Bottom line - no such thing as secure wireless so just forget about trying to secure it.
Good suggestion about Pocket VNC though, gotta love that program.

As it wasn't working for me origionally, I took NxJ NightHawk's advice to disable wep and use MAC address filtering.
The only issue I have is the error handeling. Usually when something goes wrong, the whole thing freezes and a manual 10 second restart is required.
The challenging part now will be finding decent wifi on the go.

And btw it's still awsome!

I'm on fw1.5+ my configurations are the same as 0.4, yet it freezes everytime i try to access a folder from the root directory.
Basicly it connects -> I press 'X' or even 'triangle' -> Freeze.
I'll stick with 0.4 for now...sigh...

I set up my PC running Pimpstreamer on DMZ
listed my external ip and port 3333 on the PSP pimpstreamer
went to my local Futureshop store which has lots of open WIFI around it and when I load pimpstreamer on psp, it just get stuck looking for connection forcing me to remove the battery from the psp to restart it.

PimpStreamer (for version v2 pmp) by *****y*****1969
Current stream directory: ""Error connection to host 192.168.0.100:3333 "ms0/PSP/Video/" not found or empty, or host not connected
can someone help me figure this out.

The method i suggested should keep 40-50% of freeloaders out but you're right. A dedicated hacker or even script kiddie will be able to crack WEP.
#53 & #55 I run PiMPstreamer thru iRshell 1.5 (http://ahman.co.nr)
That way if the app crashes on me, i just L+select back to iRshell and L+R to reboot the app. Saves a bit of loading time and you don't need to pull the battery or anything.
#57 To be honest, i haven't tested it from an open AP yet. My college has a wifi network so i'll go down and test it today. Using this method at home connects to the PiMPstreamer server though so i see no reason why it wouldn't work outdoors.
#60 Make sure you've got port 3333 mapped to the IP of the PC you're running PiMPstreamer on (See my post at #49)
Also, if you've got a hardware router, disable the Windows Firewall for your internet connection. You don't really need it anyway. If you wanna leave it on though allow connections on port 3333 from your computer to the net and vice versa. That should solve your problem.

The only thing I miss is direct PMP support, so I could play my allready converted videos (no real use but would be nice).
Thanks a lot! I will go and donate now ;)

Anyone know if the author lurks on any forums?

Taemo, maybe the reason it doesn't work is because you need port 3333 open on the firewall of the connection at your workplace? I seem to recall needing to open port 3389 for me to Remote Desktop home from my workplace a while back.
Has anyone tried running PiMPstreamer on a port that's usually open (8080, 21, 80) and seeing if they can connect to the PiMPstreamer server running on their home PC from a public wireless hotspot or unsecured wifi network?

Needs to be done on your router.
To check your external ip
Check out my pimpstream on http://lionel007.mine.nu:3333
Only 1 connection @ the time

2: Error - PiMPstreamer server doesn't reset if PSP crashes while playing movie.
Details - Unless PiMPstreamer app is restarted on PC, PSP will freeze every time the user tries to connect to the server. PSP needs to be manually reset.
3: Error - PSP battery drains even if USB charger is plugged in.
Details - PSP charges when running iRshell but the second PiMPstreamer is running, the PSP stops charging. Tested running PiMPstreamer directly from memstick as well. Same result.
@ #69, how big is your memory stick? After i just finished watching my ep of Scrubs, the area around my memstick was pretty hot. Maybe the app can't cache enough of the file to play it? Just a guess. I'm using a 1GB chip here but i did have the same prob you're having when i was using PiMPstreamer v0.4.
Feature request - If the author's reading this, could you possibly add these features to the next version of PiMPstreamer? Before i get flamed about how i'm a n00b for requesting stuff and i should do it myself. I'm not a coder but i reckon these features'd make the app even better than it already is!
> add an option to kill the app by pressing the "Home" Button.
> option to select when to connect (be it instantly or once the user chooses to). If there isn't a valid connection, the app freezes up.
> option to customise the .ini file from inside the app using the virtual keyboard or something and add shortcuts that can be selected in-app to allow connection to different streamers (comp at work, comp at home-etc).
Can't think of anything else at the moment.
Awesome app and i'll be sure to donate once 0.6 comes out if the errors for browsing get solved.

Run iRshell, overclock the CPU then run PMP mod inside of iRshell and see what happens.

Want to have all your media in one folder accessable to the pimpstreamer even when scattered across your PC?
Just wanted to remember that those with XP (2K) can use the computer management (mmc.exe) with the Disk Management to map you HDD and DVD drives into your pimpshared folder.
Example: map your DVD drive into your "pimped" folder
1 - create an empty folder in your shared folder you use for the pimpserver, we need this emtpy folder later
2 - map your DVD drive
Open mmc.exe
Select the Disk Management (expand "Storage" if you can't find it)
Just select your drive, rightclick, select "Change Drive Letter and Paths", now use Add (DO NOT select remove or change) and browse to the empty folder we've created above, now klick OK to finish addign the drive. Check the folder in windows explorer, drive icon should appear.
3 - pop in your media DVD and open it from pimpstreamer on the psp
This works also with other drives , only network shares won't work this way.
have fun!

I'll have to remember this for the 0.6 release though. Nice job!

just double-clicking PimpStreamer.exe will do right??
and after that, we just start the PimpStreamer on the PSP and it should connect automatically???
i think that i did miss something to do on the windows side
i've change the IP and folder and create VIDEO folder and still nothing
someone have screenshots of how this homebrew programs work properly can share them???
Reply
[stream] setting! Where is the Net setting?? Am I missing something?
Reply
Also the Net setting is con= in the pmp.ini file for the PSP, and u set it to whatever connection number that u want to use, so if u use con1 for home, con2 for ur mates house 3 for work etc. so you set con=3 if ur at work etc. you get the picture.......
Reply
for the first time I can watch movies flawlessly, unbelievable...... even with WEP !!!!!
Unfortunately ...
- Why do I have to read these comments here to get the infos I need to get this working ?? (con=1, dummy.pmp) Please add this to the readme...
- We need MPG2, PMP and WMV support !!!!
- The aspect ratio value does not work anyhow, it´s useless and all videos look stretched wrong.... Please add some aspect ratio change option in the player itself..
But if he goes on like that, this player will beat location free very very soon... just little step....

Drag a few MP3's into your movies folder and you can stream them too, great work, donation on the way.

And for those having problems, make damn sure the Windows firewall is off, and that your router maps port 3333 on TCP only. Not UDP, and not both as I couldn't get it working like that.

Not hard to get get a MAC address, they are sent with every packet/frame, sniff it in seconds if the NIC is active.
Simple stuff.
Look into packet sniffing to get you started then move onto something more interesting such as ARP poisoning and raw packet injection. You will be surprised what is transmitted in plain text over your wifi connection.
