Has anyone been able to use the new WatchESPN app successfully? It worked great at first when I was on their 4 hour trial period. Then I successfully added my cable company (FIOS) and when I click on any video, it does nothing. It doesn't even try to load the video.
Working here.
Did you complete your registration via the email sent to you.
do i need subscription or access via cable/satellite to espn3.com to be able to use this app to watch vbideo?
Video quality is still crappy. Unless they come up with an honeycomb version or someone could hack it to work with larger screens it is not that great
I tried, but the viewing size was too small. When I expand it, the picture was half off the screen. I switched to watching on Dolphin browser to watch my football game.
Revisiting this...trying to watch with VeganTab Ginger Edition.
Any video I try to watch that's not on ESPN3 (as listed on the schedule page) just gives me a generic ESPN logo with "error".
Going back to the schedule page gives me a "cannot load user data" message.
When I view the videos marked a ESPN3, I get audio, but the video is a still frame of the first frame loaded.
Anyone have any work arounds?

I tried this a few days ago on my Tornado with WM6. I could search for videos and found everything, but when i tried to play any of them, it said "Network connectivity is very low!!! Please try again after sometime"
I was connected to WiFi and EDGE while trying
Any ideas?

You need to install the app in the storage area and not on the storage card.. Even i had the same problem when i installed it on the storage card.
Turns out i had the old version. Installed the newest version (tried on both storage card and internal memory, wasn't any difference) and most videos were unwatchable due to the laggy sound. The picture was ok but the sound was horrible. Only one video I tried worked for me.
This app would be awesome if it worked!

I have this app installed to the main memory(recommended) on my 8125. I've only tapped on 1 video that was Sports that came up in channels. The video played after a 5min. wait. Problem: I tried getting a video using the search box option. The videos that matched by search came up on the screen. Every video I wanted to watch from my search took me back to the Today screen after tapping on that video. Does not work using search.
8125
2.25.11.1
I tested this application and it's great! Now I can seriously watch youtube videos on my PPCs and smartphones!
It has issues though..
I experienced low speed navigation.
I'd like 2700g support for my Dell Axim X51v.
I'd like a save video feature..
A full screen switcher would be great!
Finally, it could be good if you add a timeline bar.
I am having trouble using it. While I watch a video I have to keep clicking a hardware button to make the video move. The audio streams fine. It also doesn't take over full screen. Any solutions?
wrong post sorry
Not working on New Att Tilt 6.1
window pop up say:
Network connectivity is
very low!!! Please try after
sometime.
But i can play youtube on my phone
A new startup company has come up with a great way to search and play online videos.
Download PPC version onto my Tytn and it works a treat!!
Try it from... http://www.vtap.com/
Cool, thanks.
Okay. This is cool.
- Has one of them "as you type" searchbars for video and wikipedia. Type in "kitten" and it shows in nanoseconds all the relative stuff about kittens.
- Really fast, as from software point and in downloading videos.
- Seems to have gazillion video sites.
- Plays videos really smooth. Has different quality settings and an audio only mode. (Tested with Wizard)
- Background and playlist mode for video downloading. Good if you're using cellular networks.
It does have few bugs and it doesn't really have a way to list videos like "top 10 from youtube", instead it shows a list of some news, sports and political stuff on the search page by default.
They also seem to be planning a java version for the functionally challenged phones
I recorded a quick overview of the software
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWm5YkNsB6A
Btw, sorry for the quality. I didnt know that the youtube-online recorder does that.
aside from just playing "unrestricted" video, this is pretty brilliant
Brilliant piece of software.
Just one thing I noted immediately after its installation.
1) I tried to install this on the storage card. But it actually installed in the programs folder of the main memory.
2) After I installed this software I keep getting the sound I have associated with the event "Connection Established" ever few seconds though actual connection does not take place. As a fix I have disabled any sound for the event "Connection Established". Anyone else noticed this. My device is the HTC Touch.

I agree, would really like to filter the results by site (i.e YouTube only).
Since it downloads the videos in order to play them - I nice feature would be to beable to save the videos for later repeat views.
Pretty good app so far.
One way to filter clips in vTap
search youtube and select youtube group and then do search...pretty cool... they are doing search with in the group....

I had the same problem... Is there any workaround to get it installed to storage card instead?
Wow, very nice, love how it shows all videos, organizes some into videos, shows all video sites, etc and is VERY fast in both displaying videos and information as well as buffering and showing the actual video.
Storage Card problem.

I have contacted the support for vTap, and they have indicated that a fix should be available shortly.
Great news aalvino!, thanks
Works Great on my Touch!
Btw... there's a new version now that supports installation to storage card
great app to make youtube and other video sites work on a Prophet. But, I might just be dumb, I can´t find a seekbar or a similar tool that would allow me to jump to a specific part of the video I´m watching.
Is there something of the sort in vTap?
is there a way to fast forward or rewind the video in vtap? the arrows arent highlighted...
Very cool app but not at all new. I had a version of this installed almost a year ago..never did understand why people were having so much trouble with youtube videos when vtap played them just fine from the beginning. Good application
This is nothing new at all.
Vtap has been around for quite some time, i don't know why you have a new thread started for it and calling it a startup complany? I have had this installed since last year!
The post actually started last year...
Just a note, since I see there is a lot of interest in streaming video content on the G Tablet, with a bunch of people excited that we had the TV.com app working now that we have full market access.
Though we still have no Netflix, and you can hack your way into making Hulu sort-of work, Amazon Video On Demand works as is - it's all Flash video, and plays just fine on my G Tablet.
I just watched the first quarter of Hellboy and then watched a full episode of Lie to Me Season 2, which I already had in my Amazon Video Library from purchasing for my Roku.
Make sure you are on the full desktop Amazon site, not the mobile site (may need to change your User Agent depending on your browser configuration). Just click on Full Screen once the video player loads, and you'll get the movie you want in full screen glory.
Also, as with everything video-related, after sleeping and waking up, the G Tablet is a bit stuttery unless you use OverclockWidget to force the min clock speed higher. If that happens to you and you don't feel like using OCWidget, a quick reboot should solve the problem.

Are you saying that Amazon Video On Demand can be streamed on the G Tab?

I can't imagine any other way to interpret the original post.
Occasionally I like to watch some very long video podcasts, but I usually only listen until it sounds like something important is happening, then I go back to the video. This is easy enough to do on a pc, but I would like to do the same thing on my droid. Does anyone know if such an app exists or if it would even be possible? From what I have read, older versions of android require a video "surface". Not sure if this holds for 2.2/2.3. Even just being able to shut of the screen would help. Thanks ahead of time to those who provide insight!
maybe
Have you tried Act 1 Video Player? I can't post a link because I am new here. I saw a review for this app, and it says it has a "play in background" option. The review said it cost $2.49, but there is a free trial version.
I currently use an iPhone. I had a Motorola Atrix for a few days, but returned it, because I could not get it to play video podcast in the background. That was before I found the review for the above mentioned app.
just wanted to let everyone knows that Plex is now fully working on the asus transformer.
I cant get it to install, just sits downloading with no info at all :'(
Left it downloading over night, was installed by morning, must of been some weird issue on google's side
Plex is awesome, especially on this Transformer
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
How do you get it to buffer the video? Mine just sits a 0% and then kicks me back to the media selection screen. Do you have to set port forwarding on the router?
Does it lag when playing 720p MKV files? I don't have my Transformer yet, but I've tested PLEX on my HTC Desire HD and it's lags pretty much when playing the 720p MKV's in 5 Mbps in the settings, changing the settings to 1,5 Mbps works fine but the quality is like crap.
Maybe it's just because of my Desire HD, or my broken graphics card
I couldn't get plex working, installalled the server side app on my Windows 7 x64 pc, installed the Android app.
Set it all up, port forwarded on my router, transformer sees all my movies but each time I select a movie it just shows a black screen for a few seconds and then bombs me back to the selection part again.
MP3's on the other hand all work fine, its just movie streaming that I couldn't get sorted out, all divx/xvid movies.
If anyone has any suggestions or pointers i would be greatful
thanks..just updated it from the market and it works great.. streaming 720p High profile files without any lag
this app is amazing.
just got it from the market....works perfect!
Does this work over internet or just over the LAN.

Have you tried enabling 'direct play' in the options, in the tablet app, not the server?
What's the difference between direct play and direct stream ?.

you either downloaded from Amazon or pirated it. Neither versions are the correct one for Honeycomb.

I don't know.. but I doubt it. It seems that all the work for show titles, cover art, and synopsis are created by the server app.. not the client app on the tablet.
Getting really bad quality on apple movie trailers and so so on local stuff. Definitely not HD. What settings do you use? Think I will ask for refund.

AFAIK Plex uses Direct-stream which downgrades quality based on its detection methods for the device. I've noticed definite quality downgrades on some of my stuff, but at least they play. Plex has been the only streamer that I have gotten to play hi-profile files, but it does downgrade them. Some people think it's a hardware problem with Tegra2, but I have not gotten any player (moboplayer, vplayer etc...) to play hi-profile mkv's without immense lag.
Now all Plex needs to do is get working on doing mkv container subtitles over streaming and it would be perfect!
Plex works amazing. Can't wait for Hulu and Netflix support.
Apple Trailers are bad quality but that was the only thing I coud see. But then again who cares, its Apple.
