espn video - Eee Pad Transformer General

Is anybody able to watch ESPN videos on their TF???
When I first bought it, open day, it appeared to work fine, but with in a day or so, it stopped working all together. I am not sure if something changed on ESPN, Flash was updated or I installed another program that is conflicting.
I am pretty frustrated and I would LOVE to be able to watch ESPN videos, currenlty this is my largest complaint\issue.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

craziest thing! I tried to sideload the hulu flash from the panasonic thread, and it did not work.

I then reinstalled flash again, and set my browser type from tablet to desktop and now it works!!

A slingplayer or Orb Android equivalent?

Just wondering if there is any third party streaming software out there in the Android market similar to Slingplayer and Orb that can stream television and or live tv from home...
Slingplayer for symbian s60 v3 worked flawlessly and orb too, just wish to find a solution to put on the Nexus,
thanks
can i take your comment to mean that the nexus one won't stream from mycast.orb.com?
Orb just released 3 android apps to the market. Get out your wallet...
That is correct.... I've been trying to get it work for 2 days now and no workie.
Just to make sure Orb has the testing site, http://test.orb.com to test to see which formats are playable. None work
Yeah that does suck. I wonder if it's a codec thing. Does orb transcode?
on winmo, i've never had a problem. ever. it should transcode, and puts it into an asx stream file. opened with several different mobile players, and static players. this bites :/ i was excited about streaming my media to my new phone, and now that's not gonna work either? skype broken, orb broken, wtf? why all the hate?
Found this on orb.. it works!!! So till the app comes and makes it easier to view media use this.
It took a while to figure out and hopefully I can save some people time. It took some time and frustration but got everything working. This is my very first posting. I have a Moto Droid I purchased a couple days ago. I have not downloaded any additional browsers or media players. I am watching high quality live TV from my Orb account. There are a couple key steps in the process.
1) Sign up for an Orb account from your home computer (if you haven't)
2) Sign into your account from your home computer
3) Click Settings in the top right and select 3GP Format (.sdp)
4) Launch browser on Droid. Clear Cache and Cookies
5) Log into your your Orb account from your browser on your Moto Droid
6) IMPORTANT: Select Settings on bottom middle of page
7) IMPORTANT: Select Stream on top right of page
8) IMPORTANT: Select 3GP Format (.sdp). NOT AAC or AMR versions
9) Select Save
That should do it. Works great for me with Default browser and media player. Hope this helps....

pimpalicious. that's awesome news. i tested that android does work through orb, because my sister's stock g1 is streaming from my computer right now. just wanted to insure that the nexus one isn't 'crippled' for any reason.
not all file formats will stream out though. one of the videos i have must be encoded with a wonky format, because while i can watch it on pc, it won't stream to ps3 or through orb
the quality compared to my pro2 is night and day for some reason which makes me happy!
That does work well and works with my webcam, useless, but still kinda cool.
i've had orb on my pc for a spell, so i could stream music/movies to my work pc. default browser on N1 had no problem streaming from mycast.orb.com on several movies of mine, through wifi. not everything works, but i suspect that's codec conflicts
For those of you interested, at CES, Sling confirmed that they have an Android app in development for Android. I don't have the link handy at the moment, but it was in an Engadget article. No time frame was mentioned, unfortunately.
Can confirm with previous posts that Orb is working brilliantly on the N1
Thanks

[Q] PlayOn for Android

Has anyone tried the new PlayOn app available for Android? I was disappointed to learn of Netflix's presence on Android will only encompass future Qualcomm powered phones. (Still hoping someone will be able to modify it). But PlayOn seems like the next best thing for Netflix streaming to our Android powered HD2's.
Just looking for any review or feedback. I will download the server app to my computer tonight and give an update for those that are interested.
Update: No one interested? Oh well. I said I'd update so... Confirmed. Netflix does indeed work with this app. Although, I had problems with the actual app. Was able to log into my Netflix account through the app; browse and view my instant queues but it wouldn't play for some reason. (Might be due to my slow internet from within my house though). But using stock browser and going to the playon mobile site I was able to stream my movies. Hulu did not work for some reason though. I have a modified flash to use with my hulu app and i thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it and installed flash from market but hulu still asks me to install flash even going through playon. So not sure what to make of it. All in all: use hulu app if you want hulu. use playon if you want netflix. =]
What rom and version of flash player are you using. Not working on core droid rom for me.
NexusHD2 Gingerbread by tytung. And I use a modified apk of flash I found somewhere on xda. Lets me play Hulu. I think it was in the Nexus One threads somewhere. I don't remember.
i tried it. its slow. it works

I have had this software for quite some time and I must say it is great, best app I have. Not only for Netflix access on my GTab but all the other content I can watch on my phone as well as my tablet. More than worth the price, I can't imagine not having this software and app. I am able to stream videos from my home computer ,using my HD2 as a wifi router, to my GTab. The video quality over 3G is more than acceptable and the stream is usually steady enough to watch a movie or a live sporting event using ESPN 3 (yes it gives you access to that plus Hulu and about 15 othe chanels) I know I sound like a commercial but I have no stake in the company. Its a great piece of software that I feel everyone who watches online content would love and appreciate.
I know this topic is from while ago, but since it discusses PlayOn, I didnt want to open new one.
I installed PlayON as well. Server runs Ok on my PC, I am able to watch Hulu with my FAT+ and TV.
Recently got HTC Sensation 4G. Installed the PlayOn app, in the Server on my PC I enabled MObile access, router configured automatically, Mobile access test is green - passed.
Here is the problem - on my phone I can see the server, I can browse channels, but when i go to a show, I just see cover art and few lines of info in a table below the cover art.
Nothing is clickable and cant make it start anything.
I am using LAN access if that matters.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Playon issue with Rooted Gingerbread Bionic
I am having similar issues with my new rooted Bionic. My rooted Droid2 worked fine yesterday - but, my Bionic does not stream Playon on wifi or on 4g/3g. I don't know if it is an issue with being rooted - since I rooted the Bionic as soon as got it. I am able to find the server and browse channels, however, it will not play videos. It displays the first frame and then just goes black and eventually displays "Stream not found null". Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Live TV Rooted Incredible

First post..Long time reader. My apologies if this needs to be somewhere else. Have a rooted Incredible with 2.2. Have read other threads, but am still trying to find a decent app or website for LIVE TV. I am NOT interested in video clips, old TV shows, movies or the like. Only LIVE TV like Espn, etc. ADTHE is somewhat helpful, but half the channels do not work. Some channels request that you download Veetle or Vshare. Please correct me, but I do not believe Veetle works on a mobile browser, and while I downloaded Vshare, it doesn't seem to do anything to help. Am I doing something wrong? I can in fact get some channels to work on ADTHE, but as I said, some just don't load; i.e Nickleodeon, SyFy, etc. Do any of you pros here know of any other app I need, or if there is a Veetle app for Android, or if I need to do something different. I have not only the stock browser, but also have Skyfire and Dolphin, but I get the same results with all of the browsers. This is a great forum, and I appreciate your help. thanks.
Orb.com
I put a tuner card in my pc and use orb.com website not the paid app to watch everything my tuner can tune. Also gives me access to all my music, recorded tv, folders, and can steam the webcam. Cheaper than a Slingbox and legal.
Thanks for your reply. Are you watching live TV on your PC or your Incredible? I know how to watch on my PC, but am trying to find a decent, reliable way to watch on my phone. I have checked the Market, and can't seem to find a TV tuner for mobile, or any other TV apps. Believe me, I have tried them all. If ADTHE would actually show all of the channels in their content list, that would be fine. But too many are always offline, or the like. Thanks again for your response. Anybody else know how to make all of those ADTHE channels actually work, especially Nickleodeon and SyFy? Please, live only.
I watch from my phone, anything my pc has on it or that the tuner can get, including webcams..
Orb will stream to most smart phones, you can set the output to flash, windows media .asx, or winamp .pls...
If you have Apple gadgets and the webpage wont work, try the free OrbLive app. Reviews say the paid version is kinda buggy.. I just got an touch 4th gen and it is not wanting to play... I have used Treo's, Blackberries, WinMo 6.5, and Android and have had it work great.. not sure what's up with this crapple right now...
Never knew you could do this, thanks for the info.

[Q] can anyone get nbc.com streaming shows to work?

Just got my a500 and love it. I like being able to view flash sites and my wife watches streaming videos a lot. She is able to watch ABC.com but not nbc.com videos. Her coworker got the transformer and was able to play nbc.com videos on his stock browser. Wondering why it doesn't work on iconia. I've tried all other browsers, ie dolphine, skyfire, opera, but no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
No luck here either.
Alright, thanks. Hope someone figures it out. I wouldn't mind it so much if Asus Transformer weren't able to view it as well.
cant get it to work either but I use an app called "TV shows stream" and it lets me watch all the TV shows/series I want. Works well on iconia.
Yes it does, I watch TV shows with this app all the time.

I'm streaming the office right now... try after updating to flash 10.3
Are you talking about the paid version? Cuz the lite version doesn't have the shows. Also it would be nice to figure out how to get the nbc.com to work.
soon as I received my Acer iconia A500 I rooted it and went on the browser and tried the old trick. you know about:debug then it gave me the debug option once inside there I change the uaString to desktop just in case to avoid being redirected to a mobile site.
I went to nbc and I was able to play the office but it was kinda choppy and when I tried to long press full screen the screen just turn black.
I have the same problem!
I am on the phone with acer, do not by an acer the support makes dells look like the best ever. These people suck, and want to charge me to show me how to get the iconia to work on nbc.com/the office and yahoo news videos. I am taking it back!

Voice search doesn't show results for Hulu

I've had the Nvidia Shield TV 16GB with only the game pad remote for 2 hours now. I did unlock bootloader and root.
Amazing device so far.
But I had installed hulu and activated my account.
The first time I tried to voice search for a show in hulu, one show that my kid watches "watch regular show" and I get a choice of google play movies and hulu which seamed fine.
few minutes later I tried the same thing but only get google play movies option. I tried several times with different words. even tried "watch regular show on hulu".
I then try other shows I subscribe to on hulu with same result.
Can't get hulu as a choice anymore.
I tried a reboot as well.
Just wonder if this is common issue or maybe it will sort itself out eventually.
Edit: I am on latest update and controller updated as well.
