WTF ... How come Apple always has a leg up?? - Off-topic

OK. So yesterday I watched this hilarious link on the Apple Iphone4 on my computer.
Hitler mad with Steve Jobs
I sent this link to my friend as a text message to his iphone 3G which is upgraded to the IOS4 now.
Lo and behold, when he clicked on the link, the flash video was playing on this Iphone 3G.
I tried the link on my HTC Pure, it brought up Opera and simply gave me the message that I need to upgrade to Flash 10. Yeah right.... There is no Flash 10 for the PPC platform.
WTF

Because your friends iphone saw the link as a youtube video and ran it through their special iyoutube player to watch it. Where on your HTC you have opera and it doesn't really support youtube without plugins. I would try skyfire, or just use your own youtube app. WM youtube apps 100 times better the the iphone youtube low resolution app. So when he ran you link, the virtual steve jobs appeared and rerouted his link to play in youtube, where as is always true with windows, it does what you tell it to do. You told it to open a link in opera, and thats what it did. I persoanlly don't want the CEO of HTC to be deciding what app I open what with. It really all depends on how much spoon feeding you want your phone to do. If you want to not think about anything and have it just work or not work, go iphone. If you want to work on it and tinker with it to make anything work, WM's you choice.

Yeah. Emailed it to myself and it worked fine on my EVO... Looks like Apple only "Always has a leg up" only on you. ;-)

this is not a youtube video...
It is Vimeo.
and it ran it through the quicktime player.

So iphone does have a leg up....

No, they obviously just have an app that plays a veriety of streaming sites. I dont know why you think its a big deal.
edit: ahh there you go see what a 5 second google search can do: Vimeo uses HTML 5 as well as flash http://www.macworld.com/article/145836/2010/01/vimeo_html5.html

Not really. I hear Android has a flash player.... not that I would know or anything.

Vimeo has a special version of the website for iPhone/iPad. It looks up User Agent; and if it finds out iPhone is used, it brings up a compatible version of the site. Many website do this, especially for iPhone because it is popular and doesn't support flash.
The video here was .mp4 for iphone as it is nativity supported.
http://vimeo.com/blog:265
Also Vimeo has a version for Android, while Youtube has mobile version for almost every device.
P.S. If you use Firefox you can change your User Agent with User Agent Switcher for example.

So what is the user agent for the iphone?
i'll stick it on my Opera for WM and see if it works!

Once upon a time I remarked that websites will change to accommodate the iphone/ipad's non-flash OS and not the other way around, much to everyone's disbelief. I guess I see that happening now.

Why hasn't a Flash Player been developed??

All I'm looking for is a standard flash player that would play .flv, .swf and h.264 files from video channels like YouTube, Vimeo, Exposure Room, etc...
They all use a standard flash player which streams, or downloads the files so it shouldn't be that difficult to implement I would think.
The Hero rom has already shown a flash player that works, basically as a plugin to the browser, so there must be a way to port it to the other roms.
I'd like to see this too.
wait until October, which is when adobe will be releasing their flash player for the android platform. and btw the flash player on hero sucks and is utterly pointless. I believe its Flash 8 all the sites you listed req Flash 10.
I found the Hero one to be usable, but only just. The sound seems ok, but the picture is a bit stuttery. It will be interesting to see if it's really the old hardware used in the Hero that's not up to it, or whether a differnt app can do better. I hear that the beebplayer is also poor on the Hero - not tried it yet - so perhaps it's the hardware?

can you please provide a link to this article?
there is one check the market
Yeah, I had no luck what so ever trying to play video from any of the top video sharing websites, due to the fact that the player version was 8.0. I did however have great success with viewing flash-based websites (typically exported as Flash 8 or earlier for compatibility).
That is going to be an issue that the Flash player will have to contend with when it is released in October. The player will have to be updated regularly everytime a new version of Flash comes out. Hopefully Adobe will stay on top of that, or the player will become obsolete very quickly.
I hope you don't mean the Android7 Flash Player in the market?
http://www.cyrket.com/package/org.android7.flashplayer
It will play an .flv and what not, but you would have to have the file locally on your phone.
It isn't a browser-based solution where you can click on a video link and then launch the player to begin streaming, or downloading the video like you can with the YouTube player.
That is what we need, only for any website that is hosting a flash-based video. Either that, or these websites have to begin offering free downloads of the original uploaded videos.
We saw a sneak peak of what's to come with the flash-enabled Hero rom, but like we all know, that is only for version 8.
Actually, the Flash Player in Hero is so far pretty sufficient, it actually can play YouTube videos, you just have to click on the video itself and it will open in the Flash player.
However, I do agree, further development would be nice. For example, when on sites like Myspace, I would like to hear some profile music playing, it would just in total add to the whole "internet phone" concept.

makes me sad...
yeah,
my friend recently got a HTC phone, don't remember which one though. it was for either sprint or verizon and he can go to facebook and play the actual apps on there like restaurant city and mouse hunt, etc. why is it that we don't have it yet?
Flash, being proprietary closed source crap, is contrary to the nature of android. Adobe has in the past been VERY slow in supporting new platforms, so quite frankly, it really should die altogether. There are plenty of open source alternatives for flash-type content that can be used instead. Instead of complaining here, you should complain to the content provider who chose to use that crap format.

if it was a winmo phone then he can do it because he was using skyfire. his phone doesnt have flash but skyfires servers do.
skyfire uses proxy servers to intercept browser requests which are then compressed and sent to skyfire enabled phones. the proxy server technology has the smarts to take flash video/games, java and other desktop class features that normally slow down mobile browsers dramatically, if those features are even supported, and render them correctly, truly giving mobile users flash.
The one on hero is pretty good, you can play games on sites and stuff, but looking forward to 10 coming out

That is true, there are actually 2 TV apps in the market. SPB TV and Television. Both of them are HORRIBLE. I mean seriously, who in the US is interested in Al Jazeerah TV? or the christian programming channel? C'mon. Those apps have the worst channels I've seen. with like 10 24 hour news channels in all sorts of languages. I guess if you have nothing better to do it is worth turning on, but not paying for it.
This is just an opinion from a new yorkers POV

EyeTV is an USB TV Tuner for Mac and‚ (possibly PC) that allows you to watch TV on your computer. The iphone app appears to stream data from your computer to your iphone rather than streaming directly from an internet feed. So although this is very useful, it is probably slightly different to what you're looking for.
In the UK we have a decent BBC TV app which will stream over wifi and 3G (dependent on your provider).
Hmmmmm anyone tried streaming over the web from Hulu or fancast...... both are free.
Edit
ooops both need flash to work. I guess we will have to wait for the long awaited plugin promised by Adobe

How does it work, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks
You install the Orb server software on your home PC, as well as a TV tuner card. The orb server software is able to stream the tv signal from the tuner card over the internet via .3gp to your phone. Check out their website and search for "android orb" in google. There's tons of threads about it.
Everyone should try vuivision.com its free and has live fox, cbs, nbc, and abc
how do you watch vuivision on your phone? i went there, enter my email, chose a network, and it failed to launched. says webpage cannot open. this is all through the phone's browser. is there any special method to use it?

Heard back from Sling today on an Android app and they basically said no way it's happening because Android is Linux based and not windows based. Here is the email I got:
As we understand, you want to know if the Slingbox will support the Android Operating System and Mobile device any time soon. We will be more than willing to assist you.
Android is a software platform and operating system for mobile devices, based on the Linux Operating System, developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance. It allows developers to write managed code in a Java-like language that utilizes Google-developed Java libraries, but does not support programs developed in native code.
Most of the supported cell phones run on Windows OS. Since Android runs on Linux OS, it is not compatible with the SlingPlayer. Therefore, Slingbox will not support it.
If you require further assistance, feel free to visit http://support.slingmedia.com or contact us at 1-877-GO-SLING (877-467-5464) Monday through Sunday 7am-7pm Pacific Time.
For future reference your case number is XXXXXX.

This is a site everyone knows about but I'm listening to the Phoenix vs. Lakers game live via the ESPN homepage and their Flash enabled audio player. It's so freaking cool looking! And sounding!
My Nexus screen even dims but does not timeout, like it KNOWS I'm listening to audio, not watching video!
I'm absolutely thrilled with Flash performance! I cannot imagine being on any other platform! There is SOOO much killer content we're going to be able to take advantage of. Especially sports games I normally would not have access to while mobile, are now going to be possible via Flash!!!
Flash runs pretty choppy for me. Not sure how you guys use it for games.

why do you need the IPHONE URL? I am running a modified version of FLASH and I just go to www.veoh.com and it works fine playing flash video..
$10 dollars a month and they STILL show you commercials? That is beyond ridiculous. You can get an entire netflix subscription for less with zero commercials.
Update on this..this app is well worth 10 bucks if you like to watch current shows (Glee, Family Guy, etc.). Being able to save the shows to your phone is sweet! Quality is fantastic (running CM 6.1 official) and the app scales with Restoggle.
I caught up on the last 3 episodes of "Terriers" and am in the process of watching the entire second season of "The League" right now.
It doesn't seem to limit how many shows you can download either and its all commercial free. If this app continues to add fresh content (ie "Justified" in January) to the already extensive list of better-than-basic cable channels, $10 bucks is a great value for being able to save and watch directly from my EVO.

Top 5 Games & Top 7 Apps I Reccomend Downloading!!!

Apps:
1.TIKL: Walkie Talkie App that works on 3g/4g and WIFI
2. Tango: Best Video Calling App that works better then QIK and fring as well as cross platform to iphone on 3g
3. Websharing: Awesome wifi file transfer that allows you to use 3g and wifi to share files from your phone to computer including, cutting,pasting upload delete.
4. Printer Share (Not Free but worth buying): Great Wifi printer app that lets you print anything you want off your phone..
5. Tune in Radio: Web Radio as well as streaming your local FM Radio Stations!!
6. Shazamm Encore: Awesome Music Identifier by listening to the song.
7. Slingplayer Mobile: If you have a slingbox this allows you to watch your cable box anywhere you go as well as records shows and what not
Games:
1. Trap: Jezzball Clone however more fun with power ups and items, so addicting!!!
2. Rat's Retaliation: Perfect Clone Of "Rodents Revenge"
3.Drums: Best Drum Set ive used on the market for free.
4. Xpiano: Awesome Full piano app
5. Chips Advanced: Chips Challenge For GBA Emulator, which i posted far back on the last page of games and apps.
These are my favorite free apps and they take me back to Microsofts Entertainment Pack, gotta love those games.
Have Fun with my recommendations!!
MOD EDIT: It is illegal to post links to warez or paid for apps on this site. Asking or linking to apps that are paid for, for free is against the rules and will not be tolerated.
I second TIKL. Use it all the time.
Also, X Construct is a really fun, challenging game.

Heytell works really well. Its similar to TIKL but can be used across phone platforms.
Soundhound works much better than shazam.

DropBox is great for just sharing files.
As far as other stuff I've found...
If you are an MMO junkie, there is Pocket Legends of course to get your mobile fix. But to check in with your friends, Ventriloid (free Ventrilo client) is a MUST have.
Until Skype gets their act together, check out ooVoo - does great video chat and has a desktop client! The paid version lets you do up to 6 way video conferences.
PLEASE help me find these games

You really shouldn't mention being able to get apps for free. A paid app is paid to compensate the developer and even if you aren't directly to the pirated app you are supporting it which goes against everything these forums stand for.

A little off topic, but to address flawlessbmxr's problem with orb... of course assuming everthing works except for the actual streaming.

I'm not sure dropbox can stream videos. That's the main thing I would like to use. I've tried orb and it would setup correctly but the phone wouldnt see it

To get orb to work over 3g (should already work over wifi) you will need to edit your RTSP Proxy Address one of two ways...
The first way requires that you know your MSL code for your phone... Enter ##DATA# into your dialer and you will be taken to a hidden menu, from there go in to Multimedia (or 'Edit->Others->Multimedia' if your on DK28 (or other Froyo)) and change the RTSP Address to 0.0.0.0
The second way requires that you have LauncherPro, ADW Ex (newest regular ADW might work too), or Any Cut installed on your phone. Just add a shortcut to one of your home screens and choose 'Activities->com.android.hiddenmenu->Multimedia(.Multimedia_Edit)' (as listed in DK28, may be slightly different in DI18)and then change your address as above. If your running ADW, you may need to choose Custom Shortcut, and click on Pick an activity to create the shortcut.

I've been using droidstreamer for a little over a week now. It does NOT have many vids. But, it does have full length movies and tv shows for streaming. It worked in 3g and 4g for me. And it's free . I usually just download shows and movies to my sd card and play through my video player though.
