How i streamed my TV, and 1TB Media collection to my iPod Touch

May 25th, 2008

So i have about 1.25TB of storage space on my PC, which equates to a hell of a lot of music, videos, and whatnot. So Naturally i’d like to access this from anywhere, well, just my iPod Touch in particular.

Heres the steps i took to accomplish this:

NOTE: I did this on windows(simplifymedia.com for os x)

1. Go to orb.com click download

2. click ‘run’

3. go through installation and fill out information as needed

4. click desktop icon5. create a new account

6. when finished with that, right click on the orb icon on the bottom right of the screen and go to configuration

7. Here you will be able to set up your tv connection and what folders will be available for streaming8. Adjust configuration to whatever you want

9. Click ok

10. Right click on the orb icon again (bottom right) click go to orb

11. Sign in

12. go to your iPod Touch/iPhone (Must be jailbroken!)

13. open installer app

14. go to multimedia>orblive

15. install

16. start it, put in your info

17. NOTE: if you get an error installing, just go to orb.com on your iphone… works pretty much the same.

18. Navigate the menus and enjoy your streamed massive library!

If you have any questions (other than jailbreaking your iPhone/iPod Touch) feel free to contact me by clicking the about page on the right or leave a comment.
