I haven't found anything on here for Orb. Doesn't anyone use it? It is so useful on winmo (specially the diamond with only 4 gb of internal storage) and it would be even better on the G1.
Supposedly orb says it works, can anyone here get it to work on 3G? It works if you are connected to your own personal wifi, but when you connect to someone elses (or 3G) you get an error.
Are you using the orb website?
And is your computer open on the right ports?
I am going through orb.com on my g1. I never changed anything on my computer. It was working fine with my sprint diamond, and even worked somewhat OK with my sprint instinct, but not with this g1 I can't get anything to stream via 3G.
Have no idea about ports and stuff. I know that orb gave a link to some sort of complicated thread about changing stuff, I didn't want to get all technical until I find out that is the only method.
I tried changing formats and speeds but nuttin.
It may be the new t-mobile settings they are now redirecting images on the data connections to compress them... maybe for audio too?
I am able to browse my orb page, but when I try to stream video I am unable to open the feed with anything. It worked great with my tilt even t-mobile's edge. If somebody is watching tv using orb on their g1, give everyone some idea as to how you are using it. What type of feed are you using there are a few, I figure it has to be one of the 3 .3gp streams. Will play with it again when I get home.
Thanks,
Manny
It's probably a problem with not forwarding ports. I'll look into it.
I have it working on my setup... I am using Video Player and that is what picked up the movie...
Also audio plays as well going through the music player.
I am not seeing any issues I suspect they are with your computer or internet connection. I have my computer set up in a way that allows all ports to be forwarded in and out... This is part of my speciality so of course I know exactly what I am doing so I can do it but I don't suggest everyone to do it.
The other thing is if your connections up speed (smaller of two numbers normally) is low you will have issues. Because of the 3G being faster than edge it may have issues. I would suggest checking issues with your network speed while on the orb page.
What is the stream type? Flash? WMV...what? The video player launches on mine but it states the format is not supported. Can someone look into their Settings and post results? Thanks.
Its great over wifi. Doesn't stream videos well over 3G. Audio is fine though.

Your speciality? I didn't know that 30 seconds in a router took that much skill...
I have it set up a little differently LOL not just your normal NAT or DMZ style, I actually have a business line to my house for my job and I keep my work computer and my personal computer on seperate networks and the server has a seperate IP as well that is connected to both networks. Like I said I know what I am doing been in the business for quite some time and this is what I do for a living. I don't have any firewalls on the server it is completely open... but I don't think you will be getting in any time soon HEHE.
On the codec side... I have to check other videos to see if they work because the video I streamed was meant to play on the G1... but the codec is 3gp-aac/rtsp format
All videos work at that codec... makes it easier to watch videos now LOL
Mine works pretty well over wifi and network. I think what had happened to me was when I first tried testing it there wasn't a video app yet and I didn't bother to try it again until now. Back when I first got the phone. 3gp-aac/rtsp stream works for me, every once in a while it does tell me it can't play a video, but if I restart the stream it work.
I can connect and get my picture and music files but I can't get video or TV...I'm thinking it has to be something with the stream settings because I have a video that plays off my SD card but wont play when I try connecting through orb to same video file on my computer. What speed do you recommend? Can we stream TV at this point or is that out because of limited file formats?
Orb working for me
Orb is working just fine for me. Audio, video, everything. The only issue I have is when my phone switches from 3g to edge at work, it comes up and says that I can't play the video. I then restart from the same point, and it works fine. I just had to forward my ports.
port forwarding huh? Mind posting a link to for a step by step?

How exactly would you stop 0day exploits without a firewall? Or do you just pretend those don't exist... ?
My server acts not only as a server but a router as well... it doesn't have a conventional firewall. I worked for a security company that looks at all incoming traffic and can route and block traffic that looks malicious. It is not a firewall it is a routing program in itself. This runs on my main server that can route to Network A, B, or C. As I said I do this for a living my garage is a "server farm" or as good as it can be for residential.
I have not had any attacks in over 3 years... I think I am doing pretty good.
I have used orb with my G1 and 3G and it streamed sirius just fine. that was with usirius as well, also it was with original rc now I am at 30 it may not work havent tried it yet
ok yesterday my g2 stopped playing videos while on wifi, like you tube the app or from chrome videos from facebook, anywhere online there is a video it wont play it unless i turn off wifi. my wifes started doing the same later in the day. today i went through with time warner going over ever thing we could and could not find a problem, everything else in the house streams video just fine. finally broke down did a reset on my wifes and boom videos play fine now on wifi. mine after reset still doesnt, things i tried..clearing all caches, clearing all data, returning router to stock, tried the static google fix for router i found online, master reset, verizon put new sim card, went as far as flashing older stock image and letting it update and still cant stream videos....i am at wits end cause at verzion the wifi would stream videos but of course there using there 4g wireless which is the same as me turning off wifi..... does anyone have any ideas at all?????? oh but i get great 30mps speeds and rest of internet works great on wifi just wont stream videos...
Hello there all around.
Maybe already someone mentioned earlier...
Can't Downloading some games ( I presume big files) from store, it gives error - waiting for network, or not shown at all progres, or king of pending procedure. I'm feeding shield with Hotspot from phone, but I know definitely my provide have no restrictions, coz downloading constantly torrent, movies, big files etc on pc and phone it self on same network. I tried all kind of tests clear Google play store cash/ data, reset factory device all this things and non of them helps. Should I go and rooted and edit host file or any kind suggestions? Any other suggestions very appreciated.

I had the EXACT same problem. I was using my phone as a hotspot, and certain apps would download just fine, but one in particular, Minecraft Story Mode, just kept showing "waiting for network". The only way I got through it was to take my Shield to work. I plugged it into my ethernet at the office and it downloaded just fine.
I agree with you that the hotspot shouldn't have anything to do with it, but it seems it does. I tried clearing data in google play, clearing it in google play services, uninstalling updates, etc. In my research I found that when Sprint first rolled out the first 4G network in the U.S., people were having the same problem with the play store. It has to be something about the traffic. The only thing I would suggest is try a VPN with your hotspot if you absolutely can't get to a place with WiFi or ethernet.

For what it's worth, I found some other people having a similar problem. But unlike us, they weren't tethered. https://forums.geforce.com/default/...few-apps-not-installing-waiting-for-network-/
May be a problem with the shield after all...

Not sure if it's connected but the same thing happens on my Sony 2015 Android TV (permanently connected via cable to a perfectly working NAT router). The Play app received a major redesign recently but still seems to have its quirks.
The thread /r/AndroidTV/comments/3r572z mentions it as a bug in the latest play store build.
I had this problem since the start its only app over 50mb, then it was 60mb after an update, now with the new revamped play store for ATV the problem is fixed, for me at least
this update http://www.googlewatchblog.de/wp-content/uploads/android-tv-neu.jpg
I wasn't sure where to put this, but the issue started with the nexus player, so I figured I'd try here.
My girlfriend and I were watching a TV series on netflix, on my nexus player, when it started having a connection problem. I've had my nexus for about 6 months and have never had an issue with it before.
I can get onto netflix on the nexus player, and browse the titles, but as soon as I try to play something, it tells me my device may not be connected to the internet. If I do the network test, it shows a good test for all 3 netflix servers, and the internet connection. I can watch netflix on my laptop just fine over wifi, but of course, if I try to stream the tab.... it opens the netflix app which says it can't connect. (I tried uninstalling the netflix app and streaming the tab, but it just tells me I need to install the netflix app)
Finally I tried installing netflix on my galaxy S5, and it also wouldn't stream anything, until I turned off wifi.... then it worked fine. I have tried everything I can think of and have read to try to fix this. I've changed my router to send default ISP DNS servers to devices, I've tried setting google DNS servers, I've checked time zone settings, I've cleared netflix app data, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've done a factory reset.... nothing will work.
If it's an issue with router settings, I don't understand why it works fine on my laptop. I had made no changes to my network or any of my devices' configuration when it stopped working.
Does anyone have any idea why this would only affect android devices, and only over my wifi? I have no idea what else to try.

You cleared app data, what about the app cache? Also do you happen to be using a vpn service like unblock-us, I had a similar issue one time when my region had been changed from usa to uk on the website and then it was telling me I couldn't connect. Good luck.

Yeah when you clear data, it also clears the cache. I also uninstalled and reinstalled, and even did factory reset. I'd never had it on my phone until today and no go there... .and like I said, only on WiFi. Yet it works fine on my laptop over WiFi. On my Galaxy S5 it works on cellular fine. This is the weirdest issue I've ever run into.
I've worked as a computer/network tech since 2005, and while I may not be the most knowledgeable guy around, I can usually figure out any network related issue... but I don't know what the difference would be between the android apps and the browser app. I figure if it's not the app it would have to be something with my router/firewall... but I have no idea what.
UPDATE
It's definitely something to do with my router config. I have the same router/access point set up at home as we have at work, and we also have the same internet plan aside from this being a business account. But it's the same ISP, and same Up/Down speed. I just tried it at work over wifi on my phone and it works fine.
It could also be your ISP. Business account traffic is treated differently than residential account.
Ok I got it fixed. I still have no idea what the hell the problem was. I couldn't find any firewall rules that could have caused the issue. Nothing had changed in my set up and it just suddenly stopped working in the middle of watching one day. I considered the ISP being an issue, but my girlfriend also has COX internet, and she had no issues at her house on her blue ray player or phone on her wifi, and like I said before... it still worked on my laptop at home.
I think some kind of bug just popped up in pfsense. I did a factory reset on it and now everything's working fine. Still the weirdest issue I've ever encountered. It still worked fine on my laptop, but not on any android (on wifi), or maybe mobile and not android was the factor? I don't own apple products so I couldn't test that.
Hi guys,
I have recently bought a Shield TV Pro and as much as the excitement was at the beginning, as much disappointed I am now. And that's because I have a few issues that from my research was fixed long time ago. But alas, it seems like I still have them and I was wondering if is this a case of returning the problem or waiting a little bit more for some fixes.
On short: Netflix cannot play anything. I can browse and do whatever I want but it cannot play. I get the message that the show cannot be played at the moment and to try a different one. But is the same for all. The message has a tiny code: AIP-703. On a little bit of google-ling I found that it might be a connection problem, or a vpn problem, but I don't have any vpn on my router, the internet connection is ok (also from the app internal testing) , and I also tried on another network, plus my phone as a Hot Spot for the shield. Same result. Netflix on my Chromecast works just fine, so somehow I exclude the network, although I keep hoping that it is a router problem, another reason to replace that and keep the Shield
And another big problem is that I cannot cast to the device. I can see the device on my phone (Samsung Galaxy s5 mini), but I cannot connect to cast from any of the apps that I have (including youtube and netflix). Casting to my Chromecast 2 works just fine.
What I did:
- Full factory reset (yeah, I know, waited for more that 2 hours for this one)
- tried to play with the device and apps not updated and with them updated
- sign out, clear app cache sign back in, sign out of all devices in Netflix account settings
- I even created another Netflix account to see if that was the problem
- router rebut
- tried again and again to see if the issues are gone for more than a week now. 2 days ago I also saw a netflix update and I thought that this is it, the fix, but still, the problem is still there.
So, any other ideas that I should try? Or should I give it back? If yes, should I try another one or I will get on the same results?
Thank you.
