Make sure that uSirius is running on your PC. When I have gotten this message previously it is because I don't have uSirius running. Once I go in and turn it on I get my stream.

Hopefully this is helpful.

does anyone have a consistant stream...mine keeps cutting out, even when i am at full signal stregth.

[smiley3303]

Ok I got the stream to work. It must be a setting on the network though because I have a work Pearl and a personal Pearl but it will only work on my personal Pearl and I did not change any settings on Orb or uSirius. On the work Pearl it gives me the unsupported file error and on my personal one I can stream with no issues. I do have a little lag though just to let you know ONE. The choppiness is probably just the way it has to be though even though I too have EVDO, and 1x full bars.

MINE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH !!! its great when it works. someone needs to tweak this to work better on the blackberries..works great on my ipod touch and pocket pc.

OK, so I don't have Sirius or XM radio. I got signed onto ORB and it pulls up all the music folders and things from my computer and plays them fine from their website and plays it on my computer, but when I try to do it on my 8100 from TMO it goes through the speed test and stuff but the comes up with an error of "The protocol specified is not supported by the handheld. Please try a different URL" Any ideas? Do you guys have an URL from an online station that I can try? I tried getting one from my favorite local station, but they said theirs changes randomly, so you have to manually go to the website and sign on. Let me know what you think. Thanks guys.

Everything is installed, but the BB8800 gives the message "Unsupported media type: application/sdp"

The instructions only say to make a change in the stream settings for the voyager. People on this thread say they got it to work for their BB, but nobody mentions what changes were made to the stream settings.

Can someone please post this information?

[Evil Sports]

Yeah a step by step how to whould be great. I would love to take advantage of my unlimited data plan, it would be great to use it for music while snowboarding

[Coach Lon]

Will this work on the 8100?

im the original poster..i have not been able to get sirius to work for weeks...dont know what changed on my pearl...i need someone with some know how..to help us.

[sdgeiger]

The problem, is that this solution does not work. BB's cannot stream.

[Redflea]

Someone has posted using Orb to stream on their BB...others have posted that they've streamed video from Blueapple or m.vtap.com successfully....

I upgraded my verizon pearl 8130 with the new Alltel 4.3.0.81 software...and i got sirius to work again..i upgraded my pearl..then deleted the custom internet radio (sirius) stations and then put them back into orb. now i have it working, but we will see for how long...for those having problems with the verizon pearl, upgrade using the new alltel software and delete and then re add the sirius channels in orb. here is a link on how to upgade to the alltel software..

HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community & Resource - Alltel 4.3.0.81 is now available

here is another video showing live tv streaming and live sirius radio after the update..

[Coach Lon]

That is a very cool post with the video to show that it works-thanks! I guess this system would only work on the new Pearl only, not the 8100?

[buzzmaker]

Tested, works great on Sprint Blackberry Pearl 8130. Orb is a great program!!! Trying to configure the TV now.

[Redflea]

I've been playing with Orb since last week, streaming TV (among other things) from my media center PC. TV is fun, but bummer that it won't stream full-screen on the Pearl. The small video window is a bit of a disappointment. I tried several of the stream types and they wouldn't work...seems we're limited to the small video window on the Pearl...

Hi,

I see that some Pearl 8310 users have had success streaming internet Radio and TV through Orb to this handset.

I have had no luck at all.

Everytime I try it, the phone restarts (Red Light, reboot).

It does not seem to hurt the phone at all. Everything works fine after the reboot. Just can't stream Internet Radio or TV.

So far, streaming Video off of files on my PC work great.

Oh, can't stream TV from my TV tuner card either. Same reboot problem.

Anyone else seen this before?

[skamania]

what settings are needed to stream via orb to verizon pearl 8130. im so frustrated and going on day 3 of my quest. i need help. thanks

Sorry, but I don't think I've changed any of the default settings in Orb, and am streaming TV from my HP Media Center PC, as well as other media. You have to use 3gp streams for TV/Vid, other than that it "just works" for me on my Pearl. I'm in the middle of a cpu/disk intensive operation right now, but I'll check my settings in a bit and post back if I see anything...

[FINALEFFORT]

Ok I Have Been Trying This For Hours Cant Get It To Work?? Do I Download Orb? Or Can I Use Something Else? And Do I Just Go To Sirius After Downloading And Be Able To Listen To It?
