TVersity allows you to stream media from your PC to your device (PS3, PSP, xbox, iPhone, laptop) via your local network or the internet by transcoding it first – helpful if you can’t decide which video’s to take with you, or if you don’t always have time to sync your media.

Unfortunately it can be difficult to get TVersity to stream files that need to be transcoded before being sent to your iPhone, and, you might have them in the right format for iTunes to use them anyway. If you are in the same situation, then you might have to turn off transcoding – but this means TVersity will not talk to your PS3 or xbox if you don’t have the right file type.

I have edited my TVersity profile to skip transcoding for iphone for recognised formats, but to still do the usual encoding with other devices.

You can find a copy of it here.

I recomend you backup your original profiles.xml file (found in the folder: program files > TVersity > Media Server) first and of course I accept no responsibility in the event that things go tits-up.

Well, to code for an iPhone, so that the video will stream to the device, do this:

<embed src=”your_preview_file.jpg”
href=”test.m4v”
target=”myself”
width=”176″ height=”132″
controller=”false”
autoplay=”false”
scale=”1″
cache=”true”
type=”video/quicktime”
pluginspage=”http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/”>

But to make it work across all browsers.. I’m still working on that bit!

Update:

Found this page that shows how to detect the iphone device and offer the relevant video for it whilst allowing standard browsers to still render the file. Take a peek at the code – it’s quite elegant.

If your iPhone or touch will not sync photo’s, (mine kept seizing and burning up the cpu) then try deleting the ‘ipod photo cache’ folder from your my pictures folder.

To fix:
Go to (iPhone) Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth Off then go back to settings and turn Airplane Mode On. Wait a few seconds and turn Airplane Mode back to Off. Go back to General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth back on. Works Like a charm and I have had no probs since I switched from my Nokia N95 a couple of weeks ago.

Let me know if it works for you…
