{REQ} ORB Networks APP

Does anyone use Orb Networks (http://www.orb.com/) to stream Windows Media Center?? It would be great if some developers could create a WM App for this. Currently the app is available for the iPhone and through any internet browser.

I agree this would be nice. For the time being we have Kinoma Play. Have you tried that?

I'm just reviewing that option now. Does it work okay on the Diamond's VGA display?? I see that it doesn't support live tv. Any other pros/ cons you can offer??

It's free to try. Load it up. It is fine on VGA.

I recently just noticed that Justin.tv came out with an app for the iphone. I was wondering if anyone know whether a similar app for the site is available for winmo? Any help would be appreciated thanks

I know i saw that too on justin tv. i hope someone can came up with a justin tv app. ! the only app that works on justin tv is skyfire i use that ! i have a htc touch pro 2 !

I would love to see this too! It be cool to have live tv (closest thing to) without me setting up a media server at home!

buuuuuump?

[APP] myPlayer - BBC iPlayer / Hulu / 5OD / MSN / SBS for WM [v1.280 02-Apr-2010]
and.....
download the MobiTV.2.2.0.109484.CAB from the T-Mobile HD2 apps thread. It has a 30 day subsciption. Although though people are claiming it works after the 30 day trial

Unfortunately, as great as myPlayer is, it does not allow any type of live streaming as justin.tv
I am checking out mobitv again, but in the past it was way buggy and way too expensive to keep as a viable app.

it would be very cool to watch the world cup while working

for live streaming,
the best i tried so far are SpbTV backed up by WebTV.

Those programs never have any good channels to watch when I've tried them...Justin.TV is great cuz it's always streaming something live like the NBA Playoffs/Finals! I'd really love to have that this season lol.

playoffs would be nice to have as well.

i classified these apps in terms of reliability not in terms of channel's number (SPB is much more reliable than anything else i've tried).
you should try TVUplayer channel's list, there is an win32 version if you want to quickly check for your channels on your PC.
i am just stating that these are the best i have tried on the winmo platform.

No App Conversions yet ?
So will justin TV work at all on the TILT 2 ?

Skype VIDEO calling using FRING

Here is a Youtube video posted using SKYPE VIDEO calling on the EVO 4G
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YHrK5gg1Pk

I've tested the Skype chat, and it does work! So awesome!

That is what I have been waiting for. Thanks for posting that. I think that will seal the deal for me.

Test of EVO to EVO video call? PM me.

Gamebreaker!! I knew this would be done out the box. I can't wait

Awesome!!! Can an EVO user duplicate the Skype video chat with this app? I just want to make sure we aren't being duped by that YT video.

Tried it. Works.

Did you skype video call another EVO user, or a PC? Any lag issues?

Evo to PC. Waiting to try with another EVO user. Tiny bit of lag, but no more so than PC to PC video.

No doubt you will have plenty to choose from next Friday.
How does the video/audio feed from the EVO look/sound on the PC? If you can compare the EVO skype experience vs PC skype.
I use Skype all the time on an embedded 3g radio on my laptop, so i know network latency shouldn't be an issue. I guess I wonder if the EVO's hardware presents an issue.

No idea what the video on the PC looks like. The remote was 1000 miles away.
Latency was about 1-2 seconds over 4G and about the same over WiFi.

Tried it with someone with an incredible over 3g, worked great. Amazing!

tried it with someone with a nexus one. works great. but i can't see him cuz his camera faces the other way

Uhhh, tell your buddy to turn his N1 around

then he can't see me! aha! evo <3

just tested it with my desire. it's incredible. such a grand EVOlution...
one side-note: did you get it running with people using your gtalk account? it only seems to be working with skype.

What software needs to be downloaded to use on the Evo? I went to the Skype site and it only lists Verizon Wireless! TIA.

Evo to PC works... and works well.

use fring from the market, it lets you log into your skype account

Awesome, good to hear that I can continue to skype for free on my EVO, soon as it is in my hands.
I have no doubt the 4-gen iphone will have this feature integrated seamlessly, in the usual smooth apple UI. Hopefully android 2.3 will integrate this feature natively.
Again, Android FTW.

Has anyone got the Fring video calling to work?

I got it to work with the ported android on my hd2...but there is no front facing camera so its a little pointless but still cool...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I can make a call now but I cant get the camera to work for the video part. I'm running Energy Sense.

How can video calling work on the HD2??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Utilizing the camera. You would just have to turn your phone around. I have done it with the Vibrant and its just neat to have and to play around with.

Or hold the camera towards ur face, then the LCD is looking at a mirrow.
Too bad no one makes a USB camera for the HD2, like some I have seen. Then
the problem is solved.
BTW what phone model did you select to download the Fring.?

It was a cab file that I found and downloaded it. It didnt ask for the type of device. It looks like its for the android base though. I havent been able to get the camera fixed. I woukd like to get this working. If you know the correct file can you steer me in the right direction?

[Q] Slingplayer

Does anyone know if the Slingplayer app works on the Xoom?

I would love for it to work but I have a feeling the Sling AP would not work with the new AU.
But... you could go to slingbox.com and sign into your sling player that way and watch with no problem I would assume. I will find out tomorrow.

thanks, I have the same feeling. Slingbox.com will probably work, but not until Xoom gets Flash support.

I doubt slingbox.com would work...you need to install a browser plugin, its not just flash only.
Wouldn't the app work in "stretched" mode?
I'm sure theyll come out with one eventually, im just hoping its a scaleable update to the current one.
I have to hope they don't really expect me to shell out another $30 for a tablet version of the mobile one I already have.

Oh yea, you are correct about the plugin... I completely forgot about that. ha!
Well, hopefully they come out with an ap for Honeycomb, I can't imagine they wouldn't. Hopefully sooner than later.

Slingplayer works but the video quality is not great (not optimized for the large display), but it does work.

Yea I completely forgot about the plugin. Slingplayer would be the app I used most on a tablet. The Droid Streamer Pro app is a good alternative, but i doubt the current version of that will work on honeycomb either.

Thank you. Good to know that at least it works somewhat. I can live with it not being as sharp as it is on a phone as long as its watchable until they update the app for Honeycomb
