Sidereel.com - Hulu alternative - Nexus One General

hey guys..
Happened to come across this awesome site. it has great flash links to most of the TV shows i watch ( Family guy.. gigity )
works flawlessly with froyo
Hulu can keep their friggin ipad/iphone paid apps..

this is no different then many other online sites that use megavideo and other sources. But if it works for you and you dont mind the max view time (megavideo) then all's good.

DLNA Media Server

I just stumbled across this and thought it was worth a post.
http://mobileosgi.blogspot.com/2009/08/dlna-media-server-for-smart-phones.html
I used to do this with my Nokia N95 (it was standard on that, not 3rd party), and it was great for looking at pics and watching video captures. You just need a compatible client such as a PS3 or Xbox 360 (for example).
No news when it will be released yet, but he's looking to offer beta slots, and I'm sure he'd like the extra attention
Looks like a great project, and I hope he keeps it up and brings it to us one day soon!
Edit:
Could a Mod move this thread please? I was in "Leo mode" but should have put this in somewhere more generic. Thanks Mod

TVCatchup...

My mates iphone can go to this site and stream tv in good quality. In case you havnt seen/heard of it yet...its proper uk tv not those ****ty internet streams that have...lets be honest nothing on ever!
Any ideas?
http://www.tvcatchup.com/
(TVCatchup has channels like bbc, bb2, bb3, itv, c4, e4 etc)
seems like skyfire is the only solution just now (just read some some hd2 users saying it works well with wifi)

I am playing it on my HD2 using Skyfire over 3G and even though is is straight from the website, the picture is not that bad ;-D
just seen your post man, Im still struggling to get this working. It "does play" in skyfire...but wow it is buggy as hell. Even over wifi (on my new hd2 )
It plays 100% on my mates gheyphone...which winds me up a little haha
I have nrgs rom installed which uses opera 10...but i read that you can use opera 9.7 with a flash fix...I wonder if that will make tvcatchup work with with opera rather than skyfire?
AAARRRGGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGH
btw, sign up to the forum and show intrested in a windows mobile support/app
the more the better!
SPB TV, bro.
i seen that and another mobitv...but they seem to have the worst selection of tv channels
the weather
news
the wether
more news
some weather
are they any good? have you checked out tvcatchup...got it working on skyfire via wifi...3g is no use (at least in my area). it seems they made a specific app/page for iphone users...the stream is prob tailored to their device/resolution...half the size of the hd2 (?) so it will look/stream a lot better over 3g (or at least this is what i think?)
Tv catchup
May i suggest to all of you to forgrt Tvcatchup
try
www.yamgo.com
is best
tv catchup people dont like windows mobile thats why they have made it for iphone
Thankyou! Yamgo is brilliant! Far far better than TVcatchup

As one of the Admin of TVCatchup let's face the facts:
http://m.tvcatchup.com/ has 28 freeview channels, for most phones including Windows Mobile 6.0 + Yamgo has 4.
Yamgo's quality is like watching something from the 60's, that is allowing for bandwidth problems as well. TVC has it's own optimised page offering low and high quality options.
Yamgo spam everything and make false twitter and facebook accounts and generally pee off everyone. We never spam and have built our membership by word of mouth and reputation.
We have open and free help forums that deal with issues right away, I once sent a support email to Yamgo and got a response four days later.
Sounds petty I know but we are trying to provide a service par excellence and of course I am biased, but it peeves you off with shafters like this.
Rant over !

Movie and music downloads?!?!

Ok, seriously. I have just spent about 2 hours searching (googleing, and binging) the world wide webernet looking for a legal way to download movies to my wm6.5 phone. I must be retarded, i can find about a million file converters and then the special software that you have to install on your phone, and even a few places to download converted movies from other users, but GOOD GRAVY!!!!! I have been a windows mobile user since my first htc "star trek" flip phone, then the 8520 then the tilt , the tilt 2 and the pure, and for the life of my i couldnot figure out why so many people bought into the whole iphone thing. I mean, as back assward as that company is run there is one thing that they can do right, give people the big things that they want! We've been gloating about our copy and paste for the last three years, why the apple people have been downloading music and movies and surfing the net with out having to do a soft reset every 4 hours. I am really frustrated tonight, and that has been made worse by my fruitless search for somewhere to download a movie that i can watch while on the road tomorrow.
Does anyone out there have any solutions, ideas, or and iphone i can borrow??? I dont mind to download to the computer and then sync to the phone, i just cant find anything?!?!?
If u use Coreplayer u can download .avi files to play on the phone without any converting
Rock player or yxplayer is also good.
YxPlayer can play any video format including .mkv without converting.

Thats the point, i dont want to have to download another player, I mean thats not the end of the world i guess, but where do the movies come from???? Why dont we have an "itunes" or some sort of website where we can go to rent or buy movies that will play on our devices? Windows mobile has been around for a long time now and maybe im the only one who is willing to pay for a service like that, its just occuring to me why the ipod/iphone is so popular inspite of the way apple does business. Thanks for the replys though.
You can download the movies via Usenet or Torrents
or stream Hulu and the likes through Opera or PIE.
I would prefer to legally own the movies, and Hulu was a great solution, but they shut down all mobile units a year ago. Although i heard that there is, or is soon to be an iphone app to watch hulu movies for a 10$ monthly fee. Which wouldnt be to bad, but again, im gonna need the damn iphone!
you can use hulu if you use skyfire web browser, plus skyfire is the best browser for flash.

Facebook games with Folio

Hello,
I want to buy the Toshoba Folio (in these days the price is going a little bit down) as a gift for my wife.
I have one doubt. My wife likes to play a lot with Facebook games, like Farmville, Frontierville and so on.
Is the Folio powerfull enough to use for that ?
Reading the specs for me is ok, but any comment will be very appreciate, if someone has a direct experience.
Thank you
boscam
I don't play this facebook games as I think they don't worth it. Still I guess for some people and manly casual gamers this could be a nice to have feature on a tablet. They could even be used at work, as they run from everywhere and at anytime.
As they are web based they should run with a normal web browser and you could get a handfull of browsers in Google Market. I don't know if they use flash or even java but both are available for Folio ( Flash support is still beta though). I had played some flash kids games and it worked fine.
I hope that someone that use to play in facebook could help you and give you details on it.
Nope, Farmville doesn't work on FolioMod 1.3d. I tried with Dolphin Mini browser, which seems to run most of flash website, except the Farmville game. Probably I need to update the flash player, because I'm still using the default flash player preloaded in FolioMod 1.3d

I tried some games: mafia wars works ok, kingdoms of kamelot also, but....no way to play farmville. You can accept gifts but not work with the farm screen.

For now...
No Farmville
No Restaurant City
Yes Treasure Isle
I think things will be better when official flash will be available for Tegra 2
We have the official update from Toshiba now, does it work now?

AllCast App

Saw this at Engadget, bought the premium version for my N5. Download the free trial version and verify it works with your devices, and then buy the premium license for $4.99 (there are time limits for streaming with the trial version). It streams movies and pics from your phone / tablet to your TV using one of the following devices:
* Roku
* Apple TV
* Xbox 360, Xbox One
* Samsung Smart TVs
* Panasonic Smart TVs
* Google TV (Logitech Revue, etc)
* DLNA Renderers
Reportedly it will support music soon, and Chromecast support is also reportedly coming.
I used it over my Roku and it works well, streamed Dredd with no problems. Cool little app.

Not trying to complain, but this is a bit pricey for a beta app. Can't get it to stream movies on the free version. Who knows how long it will be supported also.
Like I said, try the free version on your devices before buying. It worked on mine. I think you're limited to like 60 seconds of video with the free version (just enough to see if it works, I guess).
I have Rokus all over the house, so this works great for me.
Oops, doubletap...
Huh didn't know about this, great find too bad no support for ps3 =[

Yeah, it came out of beta today: https://plus.google.com/110558071969009568835/posts/XDZLpU8uYt4
Although, I saw the point of the app when you "Shared to..." from other apps when it was in beta but now it's just all one inclusive app. It makes me confused considering I don't really keep movies or tv shows on my phone and if I ever share pictures/video it's not typically in a living room setting.
i use Twonky Beam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pv.twonkybeam to stream music and videos from my device to my so's LG tv since 'on device' media cannot be streamed natively. Works great so far
lot of updates recently?
I received 3 alone yesterday, one today also dated back for yesterday. (also several over the last week)
Changing version numbers, but no changelog or other version history in the PlayStore.
I am pretty sure I could watch a video longer than 60 seconds on my Xbox when I last tried and PS3 didn't work. Has that changed? Can't try it out because I'm at my mother's house for the holidays.
PS
merry xmas!
When (if) it gets chromecast support I'll get it. Then I can actually use the thing.
Sent from the jaws of my Hammerhead!
Hmm... It doesn't seem to work with the Apple TV (3rd gen) for me. It just keeps spinning away.
Beta worked ok for me but I couldn't stream online services like Youtube, If your gonna drop some dollars on such an app I would also consider Streambels The 7 day free demo worked very good for me. Only downside opposed to AllCast is that you need to start the app first.
updated today to work with the chromecast
Cant get AllCast to work the last 6 months
No movie passes 5-15min with LG g3 d855. And I have the exakt the same problem with with Moto G4 plus, it disconnects my Hitachi 50hzt66 tv, I've payed for this app and if you cant get it to work, I want a reufund! Love your others apps so its just this one I cant get to work. All others apps and nougats 6.01 own cast works flawless.
Please solve this, because Ihave two more friends with the same problem. Best reegards Pierre Hellner Gothenburg Sweden
