Streaming Live TV

Hey guys,
I've been trying to consolidate links for streaming live tv for a while now and I decided to scrap together a simple web page with all the links. These will work "out of the box" on wm6 devices but 4 of them seem to have problems on 2003 and some wm5 devices without some sort of additional player. Let me know what you think.

Wow, very nice. Thanks for contributing some intelligent content - a refreshing change from all "WOW - Stream YouTube" posts. I've added this to my list of frequently accessed Favorites.

excellent tv site contribution....have definately added to my favs!!!

Good job with that site....I wish I knew more about these streaming tv sites....I would love to be able to see more local news on my device - I wonder how long before all news sites have streaming video for handhelds.
Is there a way to search for more sites?? What should I be searching for besides "internet tv"? I see a few of your sites you are directing us to start with a url of "MMS" is this what I need to be searching for??

well searching for feeds is kinda tough. If you come across an in page windows media player type feed then that will work. Send me the link and I can put it on the site. As for file types to search, you can try .asx or look for links that start with mms://. I try to set aside some time on my Sundays to search out new links on top of that.

Wow, this is nice. Also adding to my favorites. Thanks man!

Hey guys, I have upgraded my server and I'm try to drive up traffic to the site. If you have enjoyed my work and have a digg account then please click the digg it link at the bottom of my site or click here to help spread the word. Thanks for you help and your feedback guys!

hey man love the idea im having trouble though i cant stream any of the sites over my 3g on at and t i can on wifi coudl this be that proxy on at and t? i dono much about it.

No it should work. Try it in another area, it might just be your signal strength.

on nickolodian i got unspecified error on cnn it just buffered at 0 forever on fox just buffered at 0 for awhile and then the server is busy or is not responding try again later same on comedy chanel...
any way im sure its a phone side problem not your site but help would be apreciated what im noticing is the 3g icon is switching to hspda for a second then goes back to 3g so it looks like its not even trying to use data
sorry i forgot to add that i was trying your sugestion to try it in a diffrent area

Great site...I really am glad that I can keep up to date. hopefully son we can localize some channels. Just out of curiousity, how do I make me default video player the tcpmp? And if it really matters. Thanks

Flyguy, You can change the settings in TCPMP to open mms at the very bottom of the file associations but it seems like a lot of people are have problems viewing these feeds in TCPMP. Give it a shot and let me know if you have better luck.

thanks
thanks for putting this together for us. I've added it to my favorites as well.

I'm using AT&T with an 8525 (Hermes). What are your connection settings? Try setting both connections to MEdiaNet and then disable the proxy. If you have the proxy enabled you will not be able to stream TV through that connection. About the only thing the AT&T proxy will pass is HTTP traffic.
I'm also using TCPMP v0.81 as my streaming player. Works fine for me over an Edge connection. A little slow, but tolerable in most cases. Just had to set the file association in the settings.

Google News & Weather Widget Problems?

Wondering if any developer folks have noticed a problem with the Google News & Weather widget yesterday and today? I installed this on my EVO (GenieWidget.apk) because I love its simplicity and elegance, but it has been telling me "Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later" with a "Retry now" button.
I've discovered it's not just me, but other Android phone users too, so it could be an issue with the Google servers, but the thing that I'm trying to work out is who to contact about the problem. Is this a Google-developed widget or is there someone else who can be asked? Has this happened before and is there a fix?
I'm guessing there isn't much that can be done, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I have the same problem. Can't find any info on who to go to on this.

Same problem here, it's got to be at Google's end (it's part of 2.x). I expect they're aware of it by now though.

same (UK), it's just not giving new content at all, last one is around 23-24h ago

Interesting. On another forum, I saw mention of a company called PalmarySoft who are apparently the provider of the backend of the widget (though I can't confirm that). They have had some kind of DDoS attack. Not sure if that'd be enough to kill the widget entirely, but who knows. Miss it already, one of my favorites, let's hope it gets fixed soon.

same thing here in tampa
it worked once this morning around 8:00 am for a few minutes, then couldnt connect again
and just when i got shawn1224's transparent version (no background)
http://www.4shared.com/file/IrjCMniv/GenieWidget.html

The server that supplies the News and weather is under a Ddos attack. Google Places is down too.

This is who provides the back end that the widget uses.

There was an update for Google Places in the Android Market this morning coincidentally.

BBC iPlayer App

Just testing this on the Tab on WiFi.
The quality is superb. Works perfectly so far
Top Job BBC !!

Will have to try it here on the USA, i am running JME European rom. Lets see if i get denied access sin i am not in the UK.

Hopefully it will work for you.
Def gonna be one of my most used apps

Well what do you know, i can't find it on the market. Can you share the .apk with us?
EDIT: i have tried using market enabler but still can't find it on the market, i need a UK provider or the .apk

I have to disagree - it's a massive fail in the scheme of things!
The iPad streams are better quality than the Flash streams we have to put up with, and the BBC could easily make them compatible with all Android devices.
In addition, not being able to use the app over 3G is poor when you consider that you can from the "web" client.

Dave

i agree with you in regards to only having it on wifi, they should update it to be able to use it via 3g but then again if you are trying to view videos they would work better on wifi than 3g but but its early on Android so we will have to wait and see..

I have watched 2 programmes and they have worked flawlessly.
I am well happy.
The apk is attached

Yes, but I'd rather have the option of watching a slightly lower quality stream over 3G, than no stream at all when you're not near a WiFi hotspot.
The irony is that there were 2 perfectly good 3rd party iPlayer solutions (BeebPlayer and myPlayer) that did (and still do!) work over both 3G and WiFi using the 3GP streams intended for Nokia phones, but the BBC had them removed from the Market.
What they have replaced them with is a Flash based solution which only works on ARM7 class devices thus shutting off a good percentage of Android users.

Dave

Well as i imagined it did not work, it installs and all but the i get the dreaded message "BBC iPlayer is only available within the United Kingdom". Oh well it was worth a try.

Just tested it with a MiFi and it plays fine. I can only get 3G where i live but there didnt seem to be any problems.

Anyone else having formatting problems?
The video thumbnails overlay the text on some pages.

Yep It all goes wrong when you change video quality and rotate when not in full screen

outside uk
is there anyway to get this working outside the uk?
we can trick the market app with marketenabler, can we do the same with this?
can anyone send me there uk service provider id number, the thing that gets changed in the market enabler, so i can try it out?

There is a way, it's called VPN, but it's hard to find a free UK VPN. Most of them are paid VPNs.

and do these vpns work over 3g?

Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I agree that the ipad version stream is higher quality than the Android. Bit pissed off with the beeb for that... also as mentioned there are some oddities with presentation when using it on the tab. Hopefully these things will be addressed soon. Not a bad first effort though, and useful for the live tv feed if nothing else.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

can anyone help with keeping the iplayer app running?
On my 10.1, it opens a web browser. When i play something like a radio program, you need to keep on that page. If you navigate away from the page or even lock the tablet, the iplayer stops. This means you have to just leave the tablet displaying the page your listening too. This will obviously run down the powqer quicker. Surely you can multitask on the 10.1?

[Q] Espn Goals

Espn goals was recently released on Northern hemisphere on 8/14 I think and for once we [soccer fans] on the Western hemisphere get no love. Well, Is there any vpn app out there (free or trial) to fool zune into thinking I'm in UK? Tried hotspot but it defaulted to U.S. Hidemyip doesn't work since I'm already here (U.S).
Anyone care to help. I'm sure someone out there will eventually upload it but I'm not sure if the app will work here if it isn't block by region.
Premier league started and I'd like to keep up to date with this app.
TIA

I managed to install it since my live account is set to UK. But any video that I try to start I get "unable to play the video". So we need someone from UK to confirm that this app actually work.

Certainly works here in the UK. Have you tried using a UK proxy on your WiFi network?

I didn't, but if it works than they are obviously filtering those who are not in the UK. Proxy is not a very nice solution so I'm just going to give up on this.

This was one of my concerns as I predicted. I figured even if I had jumped all the hoops to get it installed, it may actually not work at the end. Well, I guess, I'll just resort to streaming highlights via the web as usual.
Thanks Espn for your lovely tease.

[Request] Canadian requesting the Garmin Pilot apk

Hello all,
I apologize if I'm in the wrong section.
I'm trying to get a hold of the Garmin Pilot app, but it's not available in Canada and thus it won't let me download it. I'm not actually sure if it would work in Canada, since they might not have the data for Canadian airports built in, but I still think it's worth a try, since there are no other good pilot apps on Android.
The app is a 30 day trial (free install) before having to subscribe to their service, so I imagine that all someone in the US would need to do is download the app, find the apk, and copy it. But I don't know too much on that subject.
Here's the Play Store link.
I would super appreciate if someone could help me out.
Thanks in advance

So, I am not sure if that is against the XDA rules or not - seems like a gray area and all. I am not taking the chance, but I will give you a way to do it yourself.
http://www.phnworld.com/android/download-apks-from-googleandroid-play-store-apps-using-computer/611/
This link shows you how to use Chrome to download apps from the market. I have used it quite a bit to have backups without having to use the phone. Kind of neat if you want to theme an app as well.
Hopefully this will solve your issue without having to ask others to possibly break a XDA rule.
Good luck!

That will actually would work perfectly. Thank you for showing that to me. I didn't mean to bend any rules here, I figured it would be alright since it's a free app (isn't the same thing being done with the Google Play Music app?)
Anyway, the only problem with that is that apparently chrome no longer allows you to install extensions outside of the web store -_-
Do you work around that somehow?

Good Morning,
I have tried multiple ways to access this app from the market but continue to receive the "not available in yoir country" error (I am also in Canada).
Any help in obtaining the apk is greatly appreciated. The current version is 2.4.1.
Thank you kindly,
- Audi.

Canadian Solution Garmin Pilot
Audi!
Took me few tries but i finally got it working. The IPad was much easier to set up as you only needed a ITunes account with a USA address. That was pretty easy to do, setup the account and ensure your ITunes on your apple product is setup using that account. From there it was no issue to download the program.
Now the harder one was to set up the Android. I just got an Asus Nexus 7 yesterday. First, the service from these guys was pretty minimal to say the least. The problem with the Nexus is that it automatically picked up my location through my IP address. I called Asus to remove the regional setting and they were no help. They basically were unable to change this setting. I have tried many different options including removing the GPS and locations access but it did not worked.
The trick was to drive over to a friend which has a setup with a US IP address to get US Netflix content. The moment i logged into his network, I had the ability to download the Garmin Pilot. I will travel next week to Montana and Idaho and will be able to see how the system works. The only way I was able to add different airports in Alberta and Saskatchewan was to add them one at a time under user waypoints.
Hope this help.
