anyone able to unlock it on their transformer? i keep inputting my cable provider login to try to unlock, but it wont. wondering if anyone had luck. maybe its the stock browser.
visit http://www.cnn.com/video/ and goto the live tab. click to unlock, and you'll be asked to select your cable provider, then it will ask for login. works fine on PC, and watching other videos are fine, its just unlocking it thats the issue.
I've tried in the stock browser and dolphin. Firefox doesnt work cause of flash.
Let me know if you guys figure it out. Thanks in advance.
anyone figure out a browser that can play cnn live?
i've tried opera, dolphin, firefox, and stock. no luck.
My guess is that it wants to store some sort of cookie that Android handles differently than PCs. Possibly, the login window can't get the info to a cookie (anything involving popups in all of the Android browsers with frames seems to have a 20% chance of working the way it's expected).
The CNN app for Android Tablets doesn't even feature the ability to watch HLN or CNN on air live.
You can watch cnn live with the app for tablet. The video won't work if you have an app that blocks the ads.
Edit : weird, live feed doesn't work anymore.

Hi!
In the UK we have a website called iPlayer where you can access all of BBC's content from the previous week.
This website is available to two mobile phones, the Apple iPhone and the Nokia N96.
The way this is made available to the iPhone, is that the iPlayer website detects that it is been browsed from an iPhone, and therefore it gains access to streams that are encoded in 400Kbps H.264 video, 116Kbps AAC audio format, which the G1 should also be able to handle perfectly. However, when I try to browse to the iPlayer website I am prompted to download Flash, which the regular desktop version uses.
Now, I believe that there is three solutions to this:
1. Wait for BBC to enable G1 users to access the iPlayer the same way as the iPhone out of the box. - Ideal, but likely to take some time.
2. Mask the G1's browser to look like the iPhone's Safari browser - Best solution at the moment.
3. Wait for flash to arrive - Not ideal, you will get a format on the video that is encoded for PC users, and will probably even be unplayable on the G1 due to the high resolution on the video.
As most people would agree, we should try to mask the G1 browser as the iPhone Safari browser, I am not so much into the world of web browsers, so I do not now how to do this. I understand that we need to change the signature of the browser, but I don't have a slightest clue on how to do so.
Therefore I ask the know-it-all's here on the xda-dev forums!

Thanks a lot!

edit:
It seems that if you use the third-party browser 'Steel' you can choose what to mask it as, however, there seems to be no video streaming capabilities in Android?
The webpage loads as if it was on the iPhone, but when you try to select a episode, nothing happens...
i believe the steel browser in the apps can do this. correct me if im wrong.

You are correct, Steel allows you to pretend the browser is the iPhones, G1's, or Desktop.
I have WM6.5 on my TP and I used to listen to Lex and Terry radio show on it when my local radio show turned them off at 9am. I drive a long distance so it entertains me for the drive. Anywho, now they have "secured" the URL so you can't stream it anymore unless thru the web browser on their site. Since Opera will not play it I am stuck.
I did manage to get the streaming link, and it works on my computer but I don't know how to get it to work on my phone:
http://a1871.l4072211870.c40722.g.l...wlexandterrycom&SITE_ID=11513&STATION_ID=LTTX
It works on Windows Media Player on my comp, just not on the phone. I tried Coreplayer and WMP.
Having the same exact problem as you.
Me too. Bump.
I emailed Peter and he said:
"When we moved to the new site, part of that came with having to "secure" the stream... meaning that there is no URL to give, you have to listen thru that browser, which doesn't work on most smart phones... sorry.
hopefully an app or the software for your browser will come about soon."
Maybe if he gets a few more emails he will make an available URL we can run through CorePlayer.
P.S. I don't think the URL I posted works anymore.
It will work in Skyfire. However since Skyfire will timeout after like 5min of activity you have to keep touching the screen. Anyone know a workaround so Skyfire wont time out?

The SkyFire timeout is the worst feature ever.
i downloaded the playlist file and it opened with kinoma.
kinoma is asking for username and password.
so my question is what is the user and pass or where can i go to create my own user and pass.
sorry to digg this post from the grave but i found it through google while trying to figure out how to stream lex and terry since my current radio station dropped the show.
does anyone know where i can register.
I always use spb online, and in there there is a radio application which you can open a link
Sorry if this is an idiot newbie question but I'm curious: can one use Skyfire to watch flash videos from the desktop-PC version of BBC iPlayer? I've tried using Pocket Internet Explorer, and that initially looks like it's going to work - the counter starts to tick over as if the video were playing - but there's no actual picture. Using Skyfire it complains that I'm trying to access iPlayer from a non-UK site (presumably because the Skyfire proxy server is outside the UK) - is there any way around this?
And yes, I know all about using myplayer and the user-agent hack in Opera. It's specifically desktop (rather than mobile) iPlayer material I'm interested in.
yes u can play iplayer from skyfire but dont like to watch in there tho
The answer you want is 'yes', so long as you are in the uk, since Skyfire now uses localised proxy servers. Video quality isn't all that great in Skyfire but I watched a whole episode of BBC Click without any major issues.
myPlayer does a very good job of sorting out iPlayer streams for you; it can also download higher quality videos.

Okay. How?
Anyone heard anything about using PlayOn with the gtab?
Would solve the issue with netflix and streaming my dvd collection on the nas box.
I use playon and some of it works, most doesn't. Hulu and Tv.com shows for example don't get past the initial ad. I use UpNPlay to access the Playon server from my tablet.
Playon works good with my PC's but not with the tablet.
Hrm...not really working for me...It can't find a video player to play the feed back successfully....
Bump!
I have the UnPlay app and PlayOn with the mobile settings enabled and the port opened. I can connect to my PlayOn Server Via 3g and via Wifi but I can't get the video to play over 3g... only works on Wifi it looks like it's going to play but then just flashes back to UnPlay! Also there's no cover art (screenshots) being displayed for anything at all like there is when browsing on wifi
I just signed up for the PlayOn Android beta but I don't know if i'll be selected or not.
Would be nice!

There's another thread from the other day on Netflix and Playon. The latest version added Android support to the mobile interface. Make sure you have the latest version installed and go to m.playon.tv from your local network. You should see your PlayOn server and be able to watch videos. I've only tried it with the Dolphin browser, make sure your user agent is set to Android. I even managed to connect to it ouside of my home network with my EVO over 3g and watch a Netflix movie.
This is working for me too. Make sure the user agent is set correctly as Matt said.
Does it seem like if you stop a video on a playon client the server still uploads or continues encoding? It's like the stream does not stop from the server.
playon works for me - including hulu and netflix on vegan 5.1 with Pershoot kernal (first time I've been able to see hulu!)
had to map the port mentioned in the playon settings interface in my router...
even works with the dock and an ethernet connection.
Started testing out the new beta for android support today on my tab and Evo. Works fairly well so far as you switch to the Phone display mode in your browser. A few little issues, but its still beta.
Playon and Netflix
Through Playon, I finally have access to Netflix! PlayOn is an additional cost and it does require a server running on a PC but I think it is worth it (for the short term anyways...).
My location: Canada -- apparently we are 3rd world when it comes to media streaming ...
My setup: GtabComb 3.1 on BL1.1. I have 10.3 Flash and using Opera Mobile and I have the Playon app loaded on my Gtab.
My Netflix setup: I am on the 30 day trial right now.
My PC setup: I started with the latest Playon version 3.3.8.2110 but that wouldn't let me login to Netflix. I contacted the PlayOn support group and they set me up with a PlayOn 3.3.9 patch. I ran the patch and my Netflix login issues went away.
Everything seems to play ok. One quirk with my HC setup is that I have to play the movie in full screen or else I seem to just get audio. I think this is a known limitation with this version of HC/flash. I will report back if I encounter issues.
Hi
Happy with the Asus but video playback is a little less than I expected. HD youtube videos splutter and will not play smooth in full screen mode. Changed the browser settings to desktop and tried the bbc Iplayer site. Normal definition videos play OK but are poor quality in my opinion. HD just splutter even more badly than tube. Will honeycomb 3.1 solve this problem?
We can all only hope!
Usage outside UK
I really enjoy BBC programming and watch the iPlayer a fair amount on my PC. Now that I got the transformer I thought it might be a good idea to install it, alas seems the app is only available in the UK.
Are other routes available?

Just access to bbc iplayer via the web browser if you have a uk vpn or proxy, it's working fine. No need for the app.
Proxy refused
Don't have a VPN (and don't know how to get one) but I do have Expat Shield that provides a UK IP adress, but Market said; No, no! Can't do that. I suppose I will need a different account setting?
If I'm not mistaken, expat shield is a program to be used on a computer, there is no android version. For a good vpn you should subscribe to a paid service.

Ahh, I thought I could log in to Market from my PC and just send it to the Transformer.
This raises a follow up Q; Is there a good service available for both PC and Android devices? Especially when you have multiple devices.
Hi, there is always get_iplayer and rtmpdump, check out...
infradead(dot)org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer
But since the update to 3.2 the stock video player doesn't seem to want to play HD content (SD is fine), I can transcode using handbrake, but on 3.1 they played brilliantly :-(
Now I'm from the UK so I've no need for a VPN for this content so I can't help you with info regarding that, but you might need a setting for get_iplayer get around a verify / sync error, I have the following lines in my 'options' file...
flvstreamer /usr/bin/rtmpdump
rtmptvopts --swfVfy h++p://uuuuuu.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf
rtmpradioopts --swfVfy h++p://uuuuuu.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf
Hope this helps.
