Is there anyway to get Playon working on the dell streak?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
been trying to get this to work for a while. m.playon.tv works from the browser when connecting to my lan via wifi but the vids don't play. They only work on iCrap. I even tried dolphin browser with iPhone user agent and no luck. hopefully soon. I want that and/or netflix and I will be happy. give me both without being restricted to my lan and i'll be ecstatic!
I'd be surprised if we don't see support for android on both fronts by the end of the year. I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees the potential for this setup.

The Xoom has built in DLNA support, but where the heck is it?
edit: mainly looking to watch my videos from my Media Server.
Does it? I've been using airtwist-

Specs say it does. Pretty much all new devices support DLNA. My Samsung Fascinate has it... Inspire has it.. the Moto Atrix does.
The Fascinate and Inspire have it hidden up in the Gallery app, but not here on the Xoom.
Twonky Client works good as a DLNA client and server, but its not showing up in the Market for the Xoom.
Man, maybe it doesn't....???!?!!
Phonearena says it does -

However, Motorola doesn't mention that it does (the Atrix spec says it tho)
http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...d-Services/Tablets/ci.MOTOROLA-XOOM-US-EN.alt
I hope this doesn't mean we cant use DLNA apps....
It doesn't have to come native for the device to support it. There are a few apps in the market that handle DLNA stuff. What I would love to see would be something to the level of Airplay from the iOS devices. Gotta admit its kinda cool how simple it looks. I would think Google would be all over this trying to push Google TV as well as tablets.
I wonder why Twonky Client doesn't show up. Its installed on my Inspire 4G and I can run the movies from my desktop server perfectly fine.
I then tried PlayON...but guess what, I need Flash.
Im not sure what you guys are trying to accomplish. I have had success with TVersity. Set up a server and navigate to http://IP.OF.THE.SERVER:41952/medialib/browse and watch videos. I use RockPlayer. To play over 3G/4G requires a buffer RockPlayer doesn't have, so I am waiting for an update to VPlayer. With Vplayer on 2.2 I can stream the exact same way as on the EVO, but over 3G/4G when I enable the buffer. It allows the video to pause when data is dropping, and then continue when the connection catches up. To stream with TVersity on a XOOM/RockPlayer requires a steady wifi/4g signal.
Was just curious if anyone else had any luck with this. I have a COX HBO subscription and received a flyer in the mail informing me that I could watch HBO movies for free via the internet thru HBOGO.com because I have an HBO subscription.
I thought well hell maybe I can watch HBO movies on my Xoom. Sure enough HBO and COX are not blocking it or anything but the damn Xoom browser gets all buggy and either freezes or crashes somewhere during the movie.
It also works if you have an HBO subscription with Verizon, Comcast and DirectTV, etc..
Was curious to see others experiences with this and their Xoom...I watched a few minutes of Vertigo, Terminator Salvation and Avatar before the Xoom browser crashes.
I tried in the stock browser, Firefox and Dolphin HD. The flash just doesn't seem to be able to handle it.

Yeah I tried skyfire and dolphin as well with no luck. Stock worked best but eventually crashes.
I did a Google search and apparently HBO is coming out with an HBOGO app for iOS and Android, so hopefully that comes out sooner rather than later...or at least we get a working stable flash player/browser at some point.
Im with directv.
I was able to get the stock browser to play but not without using unconventional methods. The video plays great once you actually get it to work.
I was able to get it to work with the stock browser. I only watched a few minutes of a show so I don't know how stable it was.
We all know Dolphin Hd isnt honeycomb friendly yet...So why not try Dolphin Mini..It works 20 times better than Dolphin Hd
Try dolphin mini works perfect once you get it to play. Kinda gotta tap it a few times to get it cuz it disapears but awesome. Just watched a movie on it. Dolphin mini is not like dolphin HD at all. Set it up though through settings as desktop user agent and flash always on

Thanks for the tips guys!!
I just tried HDMini and it worked for awhile and then the movie started skipping and freezing with the movie Vertigo. I DID get thru avatar so HD MINI sure beats stock.
Thanks again man!!!
Ha, check this out!! If you are an HBO subscriber this is HUGE news!!!

Looks like the app is coming on May 2!!!
I may need to get HBO again...
Was really excited about this until I read my cable provider (cablevision) will not be carrying this... ridiculous.

I am able to use HBO to go with the stock browser in my xoom. I found that searching for movies in the portriat oriantation helps to see all the choices. I watch them full screen in landscape over wifi. The video is a little blockie looking but its a good start!
I'm disappointed watching HBOGO on my XOOM. My wife has an iPad2 and it streams and look beautiful everytime. However, on the XOOM it will invariable get blocking and even freeze at times. There must be more overhead to display it in safari as we are both using the same high speed internet connection.
sorry if this has been hashed out somewhere else but i could not find it. does anyone know if you will be able to watch hulu on the transformer. my guess is no but alas i still have to ask thanks a lot
Hulu doesn't allow any mobile device to play their video, except for devices supported by Hulu+ (which I think is only iOS devices at this point).
I've been using PlayOn TV for both Netflix and Hulu on my Xoom, and it works well enough. Needs a Windows PC to stream the video, and it costs a bit of money, but actually still works out less than Hulu+ so it's a bit of a wash at this point.
Use the included My Desktop feature to watch Hulu.
that's what i thought. its pretty lame for those of us who want to use them as a laptop replacement

I agree, but be thankful that you can take your Android device out of a box and start using it - with iOs, you are forced to use a computer to "activate" the device. What a PITA!
agreed i had a iphone 4 it was jailbroken. well anyways i tryed to do a master reset so i could sell it and low and behold it forced me to update to the latest software and firmware. it sure was a pain to sell it after that, now i have HTC inspire and much more happy
Actually, there is a flash player mod that hex edits the lib file to trick hulu into thinking your a windows PC. It works great on the incredible aand the xoom (I'm told) :,but whether that will work with transformer is another story.
Also, to the best of my knowledge, it requires root.

dont mean to bring up an old thread but in case anyone is wondering .. using the hacked flash apk, i was able to stream through hulu.com .. works good and although its not in HD, the quality is very good!

Just got my A500 via Staples mail order. Using the stock browser, I tried to catch up on my Falling Skies via XfinityTV with no success. Instead of a show, I got a message to install Microsoft Silverlight plug-in.
One of the reasons I got a tab is to be able to watch shows online when I'm stuck waiting for family at rehearsals, etc. I already have an e-reader and a video player, so this is the gap I need to cover.
Is this possible? Do I need a different browser? Or am I outta luck?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: In case anybody else is interested in this, Comcast "thinks" that the Xfinity android app will be updated to allow actual tv episode watching in a couple of months. Apple took precedence and they will eventually finish working on it for Android. Meanwhile, their app is good for controlling your DVR remotely, which is useless for me, which is why I tried to watch through the browser. Which is why I ended up posting here.
As far as I know there isn't any silverlight support for android yet. There was a project called moonlight that was supposedly going to bring silverlight to android but I did not hear anything new about it for the past 6 months, so I assume it is dead.
time to start calling and complaining.

To whom? It's hardly Acers or Google's fault that these sites decided to use a Windows only technology for their media streaming.
HBOGo on A500 works.
And given that HBOGo app streams video in H.264, the stream from the website is higher quality.
I am using Dolphin Browser
Did you install the app (from where, I don't see it in market) or do you just navigate to hbo dot com via browser? Thanks.

Just use the stock browser (or others), go to hbogo.com and sign in. It works that easy.

Almost. If you're on honeycomb 3.1, you need to go into your browser's settings and set the viewing mode to "desktop." If you're still on 3.0, you will need to set your browser to debug mode to enable desktop UA string.
Though really, you will want to watch on 3.1 because supposedly it gets better video performance with Flash.
And if some of the online shows require real player how do you watch that since
the extension is .smil and android real player can't open that to play.
Trying to run hbogo on stock browser along with dolphin opera and Firefox all a nogo has laggy video audio is great but picture very slow running 3.2 stock rom but these sites only run when in desktop mode tablet mode not an option any have a working apk version to install and see if we can get it working or some good setting for the browser

Greetings everyone, this is my first post. I found this comment and recalled seeing this on a blog of Jeffrey Steadfast who was developing that:
Jeffrey Stedfast said... Liam,
Unfortunately there's no update. We've been so focused on fixing bugs and implementing new features for MonoTouch and Mono for Android we just haven't had time to look at Moonlight anymore.

I would think that more or less confirms your thought that it might be dead.

Sorry - it's not good news here. There's nothing you can do until LF get their act together and release an Android streaming app. I had an account with them for 18 months and was used to using the app on my old HP Touchpad, when they pulled the plug on Flash support I presumed that a dedicated app would be released immediately....but no. 8 months later and not even a message of intent from LF.
I cancelled my account with them a few months ago and went with NetFlix instead. If the come out with a streaming app at the same value as netflix (£5.99 100% access) then I might re-join them.
Thank you
So does netflix streaming work on the nexus 7 then?
Yes, Netflix works great on N7

Netflix on the Nexus 7 is awesome! I use it to stream and sometimes browse what they have as the UI is quicker and allows you to do ,ore I'm depth searches than the Xbox 360 app.
As for love film, the only reason I still have it is I was given 12 months free by Talktalk for being a plus customer.
