The built in browser/music player can STREAM AUDIO

Holy crap guys.
Found this works from trying a site on another thread.
I went to http://bol.cnet.com on the browser
then i clicked on "download today's podcast" just after the little paragraph, a box popped up saying it's "opening podcast.cnet.com...." then bam it starts playing RIGHT AWAY in the built in music player!
And no, it doesn't download and play it, it streams it, you can fast forward to the end right away.
I tried it with the other episodes, works just awesome!
EDIT:
I been messing around.
Looks like ANY URL that points to a .mp3 when you click it, it will automatically play in the built in Music Player

Hold up - lemme test this as it is pertinent to my interests.
1) Went to mynorthwest.com to hear this TBTL show from Seattle I dig when the local talk radio is driving me mad and need a break
(show not live atm, so went to archives) Play now option doesnt work - I blame the pop up window they used.
The download it option - SUCCESS, streamed immediately.
2) Went to thestreamcenter.com/PDA/?state=MO (which is bookmarked on the Wing so I can play local radio on demand). Tried 4 different stations - webkit downloaded the asf file and when clicked to play was given a "Cannot Play Video" error. FAILURE.
3) Clicked a random radio station link from the above site, only showed the giftwrapped ? for where flash is needed. I blame the webdesigner for not being mobile compatible raather than android on that one.
So since your d/l of a podcast worked, and my d/l of a saved program worked: I see podcast capability. I have to yet been able to get live streaming audio, someone figure this out and post their results.

I tried to listen to a shoutcast stream and it said size couldn't be determined... I don't think we will see it integrated into the browser... I think it is gonna be a standalone streamer for shoutcast style streams.

I cant stream with Jinzora and it uses lots of different methods like m3u, pls, ask, ram, and xspf. Does anyone know how to get these filetypes to stream to the g1?

I just tried this also and it works perfect. Now only if there was a way to save some songs

I'm not happy that radioio.com/io2go doesnt stream, even though they have mp3 format option.

probably G1 only can "stream" archives, not live
tried .ram, .asx, .m3u, .pls, no luck at all

could someone try this site for me please? this will play a big part in me buying a g1 if it can stream from thus radio station although it uses a pop up amd is live so doubt it will work :/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/
link is on top right to listen to station

Nope doesnt work, bbc radio requires real player.

grrrrr and am i right in thinking it does not have fm radio???

WTF
I've had my g1 for 2 days, figured out last night that it wont stream. uh why ?
my crappy old htc s620 was a stream machine , live streams podcasts anything. So is there any update on this ?

don't diss the dash lol, I'm gonna keep my eye out for streaming web sites, a thread with compatible links would be great. there are plenty of apps like "sreamfurious" and "a online radio" that can stream anything you want.

try pressing the stream links with a trackball, dont ask why cos i have no idea why it works, but it does

Online Movie Streaming.

Ive used search and aint find anything that had to do with this topic. If this topic has been created already please guide me to the right place. Im fully aware that flash player beta is coming out next month. And im also aware that there's an app called LukLuk in the market that does this. Now here is my question. LukLuk dont seem to work for me it keeps force closing everytime i try and load up the movie list. Im wondering if there are any sites out there to where you can stream movies from? Converting movies into mp4 format and then loading it up to our SD card takes to long. And even when we do get flash player, what sites will we be using to stream movies from? so what sites do you guys use? i have a rooted phone and also aware that the HERO ROM already comes with a flash player, but im not using hero because its very laggy. so brings me back to the same question... what sites can i go to, to stream movies from online? Thank you to anyone who will help me.

I dont know of any movie sites that'll work on the g1...believe me, i've searched...but there is an app called jetflicks that streams tv shows...only it's kinda expensive and it'll be a subscription service by October...there's also a program called doubletwist that'll easily convert any movies you might have on your pc to a format that's viewable on the g1...the good thing about this program other than it's free, is that it automatically detects whatever mobile device you have, no messing around with settings or whatever...hope i helped a little bit...but hey, if you do find a movie website compatible with the g1, hook me up, will you?

I dont think their are any that are worthwhile now.

What's included in this build?
I'm pleased to announce that this newer build is much, much better than the old beta I had made before (and that had been understandably ignored by pretty much everyone) here's what works:
-Flash Player. Yay!!!!. A build under 87 MB (original build, 89 MB with rev1) with full flash support, both in the browser and as streaming video. It's a resoruce hog, though, so use with care (you can disable plugins in the browser settings to deal with this)

Are you sure. from what im reading i was led to believe browser video works

Good luck finding a site, as soon as one gets popular it's host will shut it down or they'll recieve a C&D. If you do find one don't expect it to stick around for longer than a month. Just use Handbrake or Media Coder to convert your videos.

I wouldn't get cocky if you don't know what you're talking about ;-) ...I've seen videos of Hero's playing youtube videos, and surely Hero's would use the same version of flash as those in our builds...

I Will be sure to hook you up when i come across one. I Downloaded JetFlicks, Its a pretty cool app. 14 bucks aint really that expensive. But its pretty cool a good time killer while im at work. i remember when i had the T-Mobile Dash, there was so many sites that streamed movies. now i own a G1 and there's no sites at all. lol im really thinking about buying the Touch Pro 2. its a beautiful phone. I tested it out for a full 24hr's and returned it the next day because i realized how much i hated WinMO lol. but im really thinking about going back to it. lol

Just like others said don't get to cocky. Not all videos are in flash 10.

I know back before we even had cupcake I was able to go to nbc.com and watch tv shows.

some people have had success with orb but most can't get it to stream over 3g/edge.
I'm going to try tonight to see what I can get. If I can get it streaming video I'm buying a tv turner for the computer. It would be nice if I could just stream the videos I already have on my pc though.

Maybe someone can correct me, but I have heard gmote can do that... I have been meaning to try... Just havent had the time (when I remember to try)..

I've also read that gmote could do it as well, I just wanted to try orb first because I already had it installed on my computer at home. I didn't have a lot of time to play with it so I had the same results as most people. Could stream via wifi with no issues, but wouldn't work over 3G. Hopefully this weekend I can play with forwarding some ports on my router or try gmote and get one of them to work.

Ya this app works very well. Its an off market app. I think it use to be in the market but got taken down. Just a simple google search will get you the .APK file.
And it is Free

I don't know about the OP, but i'm looking for an app that will allow me to stream video from my computer.
That being said I tried LukLuk out and it looks like it could be a great time waster but it keeps force closing on me as soon as I try to login. I can use Trial, but that only gets you trailers.

dont bother with orb you have to be in front of your computer to set up a stream and when it stops you have to start it from your pc again

Tried out gmote last night... and it can stream from your computer, but only jpeg, mp3, mp4, and some others... Can't do divx, or avi.. so not what I am looking for...

This was my experience as well - although Orb worked very well, it would occasionally stop on the PC end. I used LogMeIn to remote desktop into my pc from my HTC Mogul to restart it, but I got sick of doing this and decided not to use Orb when I switched to my HTC Touch Pro.

Can you really stream flash to Core player?

HI!
I read a comment by a user that he was able to use Opera to stream flash directly to Core player...he does not remember how he set that up if even had to....anyone has any ideas of this?

while coreplayer does infact support flash i dont think there is a program to do this... There use to be something called FlashVideoBundle that worked with PIE and TCPMP with certain sites. Which was one of my favorite programs. You could also download the videos. This was about 3-4 years ago. While the idea is great idk why nobody has tried this again.

Hm, good question... I stream avi's off my media center to tcpmp all the time, havent tried flv yet... will test and report

Thanks, waiting for your results!

Yes. TCPMP successfully streamed a .flv to my phone via wifi from my NAS media center. you just need the correct address of the serve and loc. of the .flv you want to stream, should work fine

Do you think it would be possible to stream South Park Episodes from South Park Studios for example or maybe from VEOH.com?
Sorry I am kinda of noobish when it comes to this.

umm, it MIGHT be possible if you know the exact location of the .flv you want to stream. Its usually difficult seeing as how you dont exactly know the web developers method for cataloging content.
for example last nite I tried to stream a flash video from ebaumsworld and while the addy I plugged into tcpmp was correct, it only showed me the folder tree and didnt allow access to subfolders. try it, its neat

I will give it a shot thanks!

[Q] how to watch netflix movies on htc evo

Hi guys i have been trying to see movies in netflix and i can't. Is there anything out there that can make it possible for me to watch the movies on my evo.

Not yet. Netflix is worKing on an app. There was a dev forum about it but that was pretty much abandoned I think. Right now we just have to wait for a ruu to leak or until the official app its released.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Download swarm, get movies in avi format...works for me.

thank you. do you know any good app to watch full movies.

to open the avi format do i need another program or it will open once i download something.

I just use the stock playernow but I don't watch too many movies anymore on my phone. I did use the v player when it was free, the dev is charging now.

sorry to ask too much, but can you tell me how it works, because i just download it and it just say click on the add tab and i dont know what to do. thank you

Not sure what your talking about, what app are you using? What are you doing? Oh go to a torrent site, find what you want to download then click "download torrent" then you'll download a small file, drop down the notification click the link and swarm should pop up, hit that and the app will work its magic.

the one that you told me swarm but when i opened it says "no active torrents, click the add buttom above to add a torrent".

bro i went to 4share.com i put .avi just to download anything, and i download a video i did what you told me, i drop the notification click on the video and nothing happens it says cannot open the file. **** i guess movies it impossible for me on the cell. thank you.

You can also play multiple video formats with rock player. Search the market for it.

[Q] Mobo player

I just downloaded mobo player and the codec file for it. I wanted to play video's directly on the internet on my xoom. I thought downloading this would help me but video's are still not playing?
I do not understand the media directory thing is there anything I am missing.
I picked media directory to be my downloads in my Astro file. This is right out of the box. I have done nothing to unlock or root this device.
Can anyone please explain to me what I need to do to play video's from a web page on the net. For example I went to a site for Las Vegas wanted to play video of Terry Feder show would not play?
I'm pretty good at following directions. I understand PC very well just learning about cell phones and tablets.
I only downloaded the codec file because the video still wasn't playing.
I do not want to do anything that will mess up my xoom?
Sorry I think I should have posted this in questions forum.

Did you try tapping and holding the video you want to play then selecting soft decoding? You have to do that to a large majority of videos for the xoom.

Yes I did. When the video appears on the screen there is a small blue dice in the center with a ? on it. There seems to be lots of videos that won't play. Is there anything in the codec file that I need to change. I saw the soft decoding for one of the video extensions?

Just found something that says default using soft decoding in settings I checked it. Still no luck. You tube videos play fine

When I tap the video the screen turns light blue but nothing comes up and their are no options available to select.

you said your trying to play videos from a site. What site and what video format? Link?

Go to metacafe.com any video it does not work. That is just one of the sites. I cannot tell what the video format is? How can i see that. On the right hand bottom of my screen it says autoplay ON. I do not know if that is from Mobo app or something else.

took a spin around the world wide web and seems the videos on your site metacafe are FLV files.
go to the market.. install one of these in the list and see if any will work.
not sure which ones are compatible with the xoom so just go in and check on the tech details. better yet go there with your xoom so it will filter out which ones will work.
you can also just search "flv player" w/o quotes in the market and see what you come up with.
https://market.android.com/search?q=flv+player&so=1&c=apps

That site seems to use a bunch of different kinds of video. Hulu videos wont work, but the flash videos will if you install flash, obviously. Moboplayer is for mp4, avi, mpeg, and other types of video commonly not found streaming on websites.

Just called Motorola and figured out that Flash Player needed to be downloaded. Do I feel stupid. I thought it came with it and was on it when I got it. I then went back to the site and the video played.
Do you think MoboPlayer will interfere with anything on my tablet. Should I remove it?
Or should I leave it. Don't even know if it works on the xoom. It did not work to get the FLV file working that is supports. Any input would be appreciated.

keep it. it can play other movie formats.

amazing that an XDA member of a xoom tablet has not heard about moboplayer. thats wild.. rockplayer is made by the same dev that made moboplayer. mobo player is a really great video app! a must have..
