Yeah, that's a very popular program for a lot of people here.
Been about a week now since I've discovered Orb. Pretty kick ass indeed. But then again, couldn't iPhone users use Orb as well?

Hehe.... nice. I think for that to ring true, he'd have to be 70+ years old and drive a Cadillac with a clothes bar hanging in the back seat.
And to ThaiM; iPhone users could use it, but they wouldn't. (hint: It doesn't have any flippy, dazzly GUI to poke at)

Yes sorry, but ORB is almost legendary (in a good way) I dont use it though I LOVE my SLINGBOX!!!
Orb is great, I just don't like tha, as far as i know, my pc has to do all the work.
I have a dedicated orb server running im my closet, 24/7/365.25. Its an old little thing, but it handles music well, but not videos.
Fortunatley my connections, upload atleast, is good. Almost 1/mbit second.
It (orb) does lack a few things though.
Internet Radio shouldn't need a pc to be used, and it lacks SuperAdmin settins IMHO.
But you are right. It's a great program. EASY to use.
I have tried to use it as XM Radio in my car, sorta kinda works.

^^ +1 I must agree. Slingbox is awesome. Too bad the iPHONERS cant use it, awww....
i have been using orb and it works great... but do have an issue with it.. i went and created several playlists.. when i play them it will go through the first song, and maybe the 2nd, but then it flips out and starts playing random tracks and wont play them for any longer than a minute... if i play the tracks individually then there isnt a problem.. has anyone experienced this??

That function is built into ORB.
In preferences go to the setting for "play tunes with a minus rating" and tick the box.
You'll find that your Box Car Willie and Jim Reeves, Albums to Die For collection, will now play in sequence.
Please note that this change will not stick after reset unless you carry out a warranty voiding ROM downgrade.
This was was a Health and Safety requirement insisted on by HTC who wished to protect their staff who might accidentally use ORB when devices were sent for repair.

What device / media player are you talking about?
If it's Windows Mobile 5 media player there is a known bug that prevents it from skipping correctly to the next song. Use TCPMP instead (You'll find other posts about it on the forums).
Apart from that I don't know of any problem playing a folder, just browse to that folder and click "play all" on a phone or on pc click the play button without selecting any song.

Even if the cab was released, I'm pretty sure it checks your phone number anyway, considering the way the browser works is completely server side.
Here is your cab and all I did was use the search function... You should try it!!!! 10th tab from the left and 3rd from the right!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378549
As mentioned above, you need to be registered for the beta and they are the ones that allow you to use it.
i'm near fed up with the skyfire beta.
i signed up January 28 (day ONE!) at about 3pm, and still have not receieved an invitation to the beta. They claim to be going first-come, first-serve, but if that's the case, a hell-of-a-lot of people signed up within hours of hearing about it.
They just sent me an update email, saying they'll try to get everyone in Beta 1 by the end of April.
Also, I see no reason to be fed up, considering they're providing you this service. They don't actually owe you anything, let's remember.

ummmm...... yea what he say
he really does have a point tho
Ive had the software for a little over 2 weeks now and unfortunetely im extremely unimpressed. The software is incredibly slow on my mogul. The only plus side I have to using this software is to watch you tube videos which Core Player already does in a much easier to usse interface. I'll get back to it once Beta 2 rolls around.
i also signed up on the first day and just got invited to use it a few days ago. i wouldn't worry too much, as mentioned before its really not that good. picture this... remote desktop on someone elses server, with sound, thats it. Its no opera mini, but its coming along slowly. Honestly its really not worth waiting for until version 1.0, and their on .5 still.
I got my invite about a week ago. And btw, i am from Finland. So they now allow non-us people too.
I love it. It's slow to browse but:
- Internet map-services work! A local one has sharper satellite pictures
- I can wach CNETTV.com! Picture isnt that good but audio comes always clear. (it also saves the zoom location on bookmarks. So i just click the bookmark and watch)
- Internet radio stations work! The ones that are flash. (like http://www.finetune.com/wii/ )
- I noticed that it also has atleast .wmv plugin installed on the server-side. So you can play direct-video links too.
I've had it for about 2 weeks, and I think it definitely will be the best browser when all the bugs are worked out. It can render basically any page on the internet perfectly. If you go to Youtube, for instance, it looks as if you went there in IE or Firefox on your regular computer. All of the flash stuff works. Google maps? Yes, you can use street view mode, and it's pretty snappy too.
It has two modes for touch input, which I will call cursor mode and hand mode (that's what the icons look like). This way, you can decide if you want to pan the entire webpage with hand mode or if you want to interact directly with a zoomed in flash applet with the cursor mode.
I signed up for the beta a few months back.

Jeyo Wunder Radio aggregates scanner feeds from ScanAmerica.us., RadioTime and others.
I myself bypassed the third party applications and copied the asx files to the respective internet streams I wished to listen in on. . .and execute them with the appropriate media player.
Whenever I want to listen to the police feed for example, I simply click on a shortcut in my start menu and within seconds - I'm tuned in.
I had to do this since my towns radio system switched over to digital and apco25 scanners are a bit on the expensive side right now. . .hope it helps.
Scan America is great. That's what I use. Do what surroundedbydrones said and just save the asx files to your device.
How do you save the asx files? When I go to scan america it's an MP3 file that will not download because it's being streamed live. Therefore, I cannot listen to the feeds...
Maybe they changed something. You need to do it from your phone fyi. MP3 isn't a streaming format though so...
Police App for hd2
im STILL looking 4 an app for police scanning in Tucson, Arizona as well ......
NICE

I have been trying this out. It is great. Really good site. Let's you have several methods to streaming the audio live.
I recommend this for anyone looking for a scanner concept. Until there is an app for this out there for your phone's model in particular, this seems to be the best way to go. If you are having trouble accessing streams with your browser on your phone, just try using Skyfire browser. It is the best to view tricky sites.
If you can get a .pls or .m3u for your local PD/FD/EMS, you can stream it in coreplayer. If you got coreplayer, try this file Ive attached. Its for the Massachusetts State Police. I listen to this when I drive to work so I know where they at lol.

Requirements for my method:

2. Internet Connection/Data Plan
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?stid=8
click on your city/town/county or whatever. go to live feed listening section, select itunes for your player selection, right click and save the ".m3u" on the listen link, rename it as whatever feed it is, copy the file to your phone and select it within coreplayer and BAM live feed on your phone.
yes coreplayer does it!!!!
Awesome now i have to remember to use these powers for good not evil

What would be really cool is if the wm phone can use the gps built in to access where it is and pull up the appropriate scanner( just like the gpsweather app).
Police Scanning on TP2/WinMo
Great thread with cool tips- I have been listening to Seattle Police on my TP2 for months just using IE. To find the feed, I just did a search on Seattle Police Scanner and came up with a link to a local TV/Radio station that streams live emergency frequencies. My suggestion, if you are unable to find the feed on the site listed in the previous posts, is to do a google search for "city/state police scanner" or similar search terms.

XITruthiX, use Seattle Rat's method and grab the mms://, rtsp:// or http:// address from your cities website and plug it into either core player or the streaming media app. For instance, mms://video.whdh.com/live is for my local news in Boston,MA. I stream it in Streaming Media.
Nevermind.. already answered.
I saved the .m3u shortcuts as above, installed GSPlayer, associated the m3u files with GSPlayer, created a shortcut and it works great as a single click option without using an Internet Browser.

You can also Google shadow.net and get the whole list of channels that are free and work with flash. I recommend that you download tv listings from the market and put in a east coast area code because almost all the American channels are on eastern time. I use 10001 and get the listings for time warner in southern Manhattan uncheck all then select the channels you want. this is the real deal HBO so you can watch boxing and NFL programs (documentaries).
thanx man. I was a bit suprised because I clicked the link and first thing I see is porn and I'm like wtf so I go to HBO on my tv and see it was "Real Sex" lol but other than that it works thanx good find
is there one for showtime? NEED DEXTER!
http://www.shadownet.ro/channels.php
This all the channels available free. All flash channels work on Nexus. Fx, TNT, USA, SPIKE, ABC, NBC, MTV, CNN and more. You can't beat free. Especially HBO.
Any way to get it to not open the channels in a small floating window? Full screen would rule.
Double tap my friend while in landscape or hit the fullscreen icon in player while in landscape. Once again you can't beat free.
What I did was create a bookmark for each channel and put them in a folder with each individual channel named. I go straight to the channel I want from my homescreen.
http://www.channelsurfing.net/
There's another link someone posted awhile back. Any additional links that work with live tv for flash please post here. Maybe the moderator can fix this thread to be more advantageous to all.
Good find. ESPN would make it ultimate.

They added Showtime. It's down now, but it will be back up soon I'm sure. They switched HBO to windows media player. I wish there was a way we could import a windows media plugin in our browser. Skyfire does for Windows not so for Android.
So with the FireTV becoming quite popular and everyone modding & customizing them left and right.
Curious to see what some of you guys have done in regards to Addons for Videos etc.. I've had a Apple TV before but kept the XBMC install quite basic and basically just used 1channel and sometimes IceFilms if I was encountering errors.
Over the last couple of weeks I've setup 2 FireTVs and gone a bit further into customizing it. I've loaded on the usual IceFilms,1channel, SportsDevil, NaviX, XBMC Addon Installer. Also, loaded up XBMC Tweaks for FTV that gives me keyMap3, sleep mode on XBMC, installed time changer to reflect the right time on XBMC as FTV is not officially out yet where I am. Also, using Xposed and rbox module to auto launch XBMC.
So, what are some other addons you guys recommend? Just looking for some unique ideas!
In addition to the ones you mentioned I use mashup, xbmctorrent and p2pstreams.
Droidmote is my favorite thing that I've installed recently. For the rare times that I need a mouse to tick a checkbox or click a button, I can just use my phone as a touchpad.

I have to check that out. I found an old wireless mouse I plugged into my Fire TV for now. I want to get something similar to the Flymote I use for the MX2 android box.
So I loaded on FTV Guide and I'm quite impressed with this addons it actually has tons of channels and most of them work.. however.
I am seeing that some channels I click on I can only choose the 'Remind' option and it doesn't actually load the channel.
Whats up with this? Can anyone let me know? Anything like SkyMoviesHD, Sky Sports, TBS etc.. just don't seem to actually do anything
I had the incompatible problem with almost EVERY addon when I recently did a fresh install of xbmc. I fixed it by doing a force refresh of the repository (use context menu on the enabled addon page and click refresh/update) . I waited about 10 mins, played some Quell and came back and then about 90% of the skins/addons are compatible now.
I tried mashup but most of the channels that loaded were SD and didn't work well. 1channel is great for movies/shows. Had almost everything I looked for it.
Anyone try Pluto.TV on the regular fire launcher? It is pretty awesome. It has about 50 channels of its own content. The guide looks very similar to something a cable company would put out and they have a good range of different genres

Pluto tv is on the actual amazon app store that works on the fireTV without root or anything else. Its a APP meant for it.
The App itself is alright, wish I could make the F.T.V Guide work with all channels I'd rather have that
