(Couldn't resist) This app works GREAT!!! I have had reminders comming in every night this week, I have only had it since earlier this week, so I can't say anything on the 'reminder for every episode' part, but the reminders do come in via texting reliably enough. The only 'bug' I have noticed at this point is that the texts come in doubled, so I think this will only affect people that pay for texting. I would suggest unlimited texting and data for this app.

OK, I'm downloading this and will see if I miss American idol.... Just kidding! My wife makes me watch it! Wait, I guess I watch it anyway. I'm a Sap!

clear channel radio station player?

i'm looking for an application that can play streams of radio stations that clear channel runs. currently, they have the iheart radio app for iphone and blackberry, but nothing for windows mobile. i'm hoping that somebody can change this, or find a workaround to enable streaming on applications such as spb radio.

Kinoma Play has Clear Channel stations. Just go to Guide/Radio/Clear Channel.
However, as someone who worked for Clear Channel for many years, I strongly urge you not to support them.

I take it you also know from experience. It's like studying to become a chef and working for McDonald's.

screw clear channel and their FCC bulls**t. Long live satellite radio! Long live Howard Stern! How you doin terrestrial radio? Oh right, almost non-existent, expect for a billion top 40 stations. Too bad, so sad... go choke on u're own commercials

Police Scanner for Win Mo?

Ive seen it for both the droid and the (stupid POS) iphone, theres gotta be a scanner for windows mobile, anyone seen anything?

you mean something like trapster? http://www.trapster.com/

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:
1. Coreplayer
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

great, got it working now. thanks

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.

Slingplayer officially in market!!!

Slinglplayer for Android is in the market people!! Just downloaded it!!!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

ok finally got this loaded up. i have to say i am extremely disappointed with this software. compared to the ipod/iphone and even windows mobile this software ****ing blows. how the hell can you not have a favorites option anymore? that is probably the most important option to have in my opinion and its gone. no more channel logos to click on and go immediately to that channel who in their right mind would get rid of this feature. if its there, i can't find it anywhere and i've read the entire help file. the software is just so much worse i can't believe they call this an improvement. soooooo disappointed and yes i had to pay these ****suckers another $30 license.
anyone find out if the HDMI output works with this? it better...

from JAPAN
I can not find in market,
anyway I can search it from JAPAN?

You can just get a refund in the marketplace for it

I set up my main slingplayer from my laptop. From there I set up my favorites. Once you log into your account and select your Slingbox,all your favorites transfer over. Mine did when I went from WinMo to iPhone, and now iPhone to Android.

Just ordered me a Slingbox from Amazon, this is gonna be awesome! Goodbye Sprint TV LOL

The video quality on this thing beats the iPhone version by FAR.

This must be my problem i dont have any favorites setup on the desktop version. They didnt transfer over from winmo or my ipod.
Do you actually have favorites on android cause this makes no sense.

From what I'm reading everywhere is u have to set up your favs on your laptop or pc and they will transfer over to the android app. I'm at work so I haven't even hooked up my slingplayer yet. How does that work? I already bought the app, I know in Windows u had to put in a key but how does it work with android will it automatically connect to my slingbox since I already have an acct set up?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Thats what i mean they transferred over from winmo to my ipod. But i got nothing in android. Minimally you should see a favorites button or something and nothing is there and its not mentioned in the help file.
furthermore, i just setup and saved favorites on my laptop for the PC slingplayer. saved the favorites to my account, logged out....still have nothing in android.
does anyone actually have FAVORITES in android slingplayer?

Just read the description in the Market. Very disappointed this app wont work with my Sling Classic.

It probably will, they just don't officially support it. I bought a Slingbox AV on Woot for around $50-$60 many years ago and it just keeps finding new ways to be useful.
My Slingbox AV works perfectly with this app, huzzah for cable on the go!

Does anyone have the Pro-HD model? Are you able to get HD to your evo over just the 3g network? Theres no 4g in AZ right now so I'm contemplating on which slingbox to get.

When I loaded this up for the first time, I signed into my account and picked my Slingbox. Soon as the video loaded up, I tapped the screen, which brought up a huge grid view with various buttons, one is labeled Favorites. Upon clicked said button, it changes my channels to the favorites I have picked out and have had picked out back on my iPhone.
It will not bring up a seperate window listing them. If I want to add more favorites, I have to load up my desktop version, and choose them there. My desktop version (2.0.4.521) had a dropdown box with the guide. Its got a catagory labeled Mobile Favorites. The ones I chose there, are the channels that my Slingplayer for Android changes channels to when I press the favorites button on my phone..
I dont know how else to explain it lol

Any way around the $ 30 charge? I have 3 winmo licenses and would irritate me to purchase this again. Anyone have the apk?

Anyone knows whats the best Slingbox to purchase? I'm looking at the prices and I don't think 150 for Slingbox Solo + 30 for the App is a good deal for watching tv in my phone. :/

I don't see it in the market. I'm rooted and i'm running the stock rooted rom. I can download signed apps like google goggles and everything else but slingplayer is not showing. Also i just found out you have to have sling box so i may pass on this.

please if you can take a screenshot showing favorites cause this is insane. minimally i should see an empty button.

I had a long chat with reps at Sling today regarding just this. I wanted to transfer my winmo licenses in lieu of having to purchase the software for Android.
According to the terms here..
If you purchased SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Phone from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile, you can only transfer the registration to other Windows Phone devices via the Windows Marketplace for Mobile (via your PC or directly to your phone).

Let's discuss Addons

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.

Pretty sure, you need a USB mouse for that very first checkbox.. because if you dont check it off no way to get the other APPS on there like droidmote

as in everything else xbmc stream related, the live tv aspect is only as good as your connection. I've watched live HBO and other premium channels and it works great on my ATT Uverse. Lotsa info here:

So I've installed FTV on the xbmc and not sure what the hype is but nothing seems to really work.
I've added FilmOn also, but does not appear to be compatible...

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
