hi all
i was just looking around YouTube for IM apps, and came across this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3iLSTg2TC0
It was only posted yesterday, the videos in Portuguese, but i translated the video description:
"Video presentation of the Windows Live application for the Android platform using the Samsung Galaxy S.
In this video we demonstrate the use of the Messenger service.
Application developed by CRE8 Brazil.

what do you guys think? i think the application looks really nice, useful and smooth, hope it's released soon
That's great news!!!

Hi,
I was looking on youtube (on the website) and noticed they have added "TV" to the home page, meaning you can watch tv on youtube now from channel 4 and 5...
Does anyone know if an upgrade to the youtube app thats built into the phone...
The current one I have is Youtube for Pocket PC.. V2.6 (build 1920.2631)
Hope someone knows if there is a youtube update
Thanks
I just tried the winmob app directly from youtube (google).
Better do not switch ! Looks pretty ****ty ! Current app is much better
and more fingerfriendly!
tell you what would be nice as well is if an update was bought out to allow my subscriptions to sync with my online account and any favourites i add it is a pain in the backside
One thing that I seem to be missing in the marketplace is apps that does live-streaming of video, the latest to be added to the list is the MLB app that has audio-streaming, but no video streaming of live games, so is it WP that doesn't support this, or is it the developers that doesn't want to?
Live streaming from or to the device? Otherwise there doesn't seem to be an issue with live streaming to the device. Considering a number of RDC's use similar features. No clue about streaming from the device though.
Stream to the device, take my MLB example: At Bat 12 for Android and IOS can show live gamestreams , but WP7 can not. (And the WP one is even more expensive, but that's another case). An then there is sites such as Ustream, justin.tv etc that doesn't seem to be available on the platform.
If I remember there was a 3rd part Ustream app, but watching livestreams didn't work.

What is the "live gamestreams"? If you mean "live sport game events": WP7 can perfectly stream live video; but seems like a content providers don't care much about WP7 support.
Yeah, livestreaming of games, thanks I guess we just have to put some preassure on the developers then.
I've been looking for an app that does this for me as well, mainly for gaming content. There are quite a few out there that seem to be able to stream live video content, like the RedBullTV app and I believe there's a Youtube Live app as well, so with my limited developing-knowledge, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
FlashVideo For WP7 has recently added support for several "Live Video" sites, mostly sports at the moment though. Not sure if this specific update has hit marketplace yet, but the changelog are up on his site. Can't link a source due to low post-count, but it can be found if you look up the app in the marketplace.
I've been briefly corresponding with the developer as well, asking if he would add support for justin/twitch.tv and own3d.tv, and I believe he would seriously look into it, but it seemed to something that would be added in the future because the sites "have many protections", in his own words.
Guys, as I've said before: technically it's very possible, not a big problem, live streaming are perfectly supported by WP7 (via MS Smooth Streaming technology etc.). The big problem is CONTENT. Nobody will develop app to play stolen content - for ethical reason or because app will be banned from the mp shortly. So direct your questions to your sports channel providers...

What of sites like Justin.tv who seem to encourage people to make use of their tech for own applications?
We believe that the future of video is live. Our API enables you to use Justin.tv's infrastructure, for free, to easily power live video in your own applications.

I can't link to the source directly but it can be found if you go to justin.tv and click on API at the very bottom.
justin.tv/p/api
Again, my knowledge of development in general is very limited, so I have no real idea what the significance of this is... Would be grateful if someone could enlighten me and if it could mean the possibility of a third-party app?
Thanks.
This topic is about professional sport events live video streaming. I don't understand why did you mention justin.tv...

From what I gathered, OP was asking about live-streaming apps for WP7 in general and he also brought up both Ustream and Justin.tv in another post so I figured it was relevant to the discussion.
Is there any significant difference between "professional sport event live video streaming" and services like Ustream and Justin.tv? The latter have provided streams for sport and competitive events in the past as well, and continues to do so.
Nope, you are wrong. He wants to have "livestreaming of games". I don't watch games but I'm pretty sure there are no free live broadcasting of the Red Sox or Bruins games on Ustream and Justin.tv, for example.
P.S. 2 OP: you should mark your question as answered 'cause WP can handle live streams. Your second question "why I can't find app/service for that" is a different question
Fair enough! I guess this is what confused me...
An then there is sites such as Ustream, justin.tv etc that doesn't seem to be available on the platform.
If I remember there was a 3rd part Ustream app, but watching livestreams didn't work.

Regardless, I guess it's a discussion for another thread. Thanks for your clarification regarding live streaming and WP7, it's something I've been wondering about as well!
And again, to OP, the developer for FlashVideo for WP7 has stated that he will add support for several "live sports streaming sites", I don't know if there is anything of interest to be found there but still worth a mention I feel.
By the way, as for temporary solution you may use Skype and broadcast live event yourself from the home PC equipped with video capturing board and connected to your cable box
I like flipbook on my Android phone, because in collects and mixes popular news coming from different sources like twitter, facebook, news feeds, ..
It's also very fast and has a decent layout.
But its not available for Android tablets ;-(
I tried Currents, Pulse and Tapto, but all lack the possibility to mix social feeds and news feeds.
Any alternatives?
feedly is a very nice app for on the tablet.
However I don't know if you can mix social and news feeds. I just use it for RSS.
It is called Flipboard not Flipbook.
That may explain why you can't find it.
Because as you can see in this video it works for the tablet:

All social networks and unfree Google proprietary software is a gigantic data mining botnet.

indeed, wrong naming, I'll update the post.
I had a look at the video: it's not available in the play store, but I found and installed the apk: it works but is not usefull as explained in the video: only optimized for phones, not tabets.
tnx anyway!
Yeah there is no landscape mode implemented.
But maybe you are lucky contacting them and asking for one.
I barely got my infinity yesterday and was too disappointed flip board wouldn't download from the play store... So I did a search on this fine Site... "flipboard for android" and found the apk... So now I'm using that just something to think about

Hey all,
I've been working at Pluto.TV (http://pluto.tv) for a few months now as the lead mobile developer. We just launched today on the web, Android, and iOS.
It has been awhile since I've published an app, and I'm pretty proud of how the Android app turned out. 8/10 #HOLO?
The app is available on Android 4.1+ on all types of configurations. Chromecast support is coming soon!
Let me know what you all think.

This application works great and such a beautiful ui. Hands down one of the best TV applications on the market

Really great job. I can't wait for Chromecast support. I've only been watching for a couple hours (on desktop) and already, I can see it changing the way I use YouTube at home. Keep it up!
Any ETA on proper Chromecast support?
The PR surrounding Chromecast is all over the place right now. Your social media reps are claiming Pluto.TV does support Chromecast, but there's a difference between casting a browser tab and built-in Cast buttons (Chrome API and APIs for mobile apps). Right now, you can't cast from Android, and the only way to watch on TV is to cast a tab (which is laggy).
I'm also interested when true chromecast support will come for the mobile apps. Thanks

@jondwillis I think you should upload the app here too for those who don't have access to the playstore. Not everyone wants or uses a google account.
Nice app btw
Sadly it says unavailable in my country as well! (Brazil)
I'm getting an 'incompatible' error.
Running 4.4.2 (CM11) on a legacy device (satsuma).
Is it possible

Is it possible to get it without commercials? About a minute and a half of what I want to see, followed by three minutes worth of commercials.
It is very interesting to have a great TV at home. I really like it.
Recently I was scrolling on Instagram I found Pluto TV is such a great which supports Chromecast as well.
Hello guys , so I made a video about what I think are two of the best looking apps on android.
