I tried to search for it so I'm sorry if this is a repeat...
Has anyone else tried Orb streaming service. I think it's the best thing I've found since my WM6 Rom and of course it's free and requires no new install on the phone.
Once you download an app to your computer to allow it to stream media out, you can access media on your computer over the web. This isn't a new concept, but the thing that stands out for me is the fact that it works great with the hermes - streaming stored videos, pictures, and music from the PC (among other things)
If you have a TV tuner on your computer it's even better. It will let you watch live TV or previously recorded TV. It will even let you schedule a recording from the phone if you forgot while you were at home (albeit - not through WMC rather their own, but they usually play nice).
My only recomendation is to lower the expected stream speed to 40 or 80 kbps at the bottom of mobile website to eliminate chopiness. Also, if you have a media player other than WMP on the phone - make sure the stream goes to WMP (it works well in there)
i have been using it for a couple years, and its great for live tv and i have a few hundred divx movies on my harddrive that i can stream and its free!
Yes, it is a very nice program. I've been using it for a while, too. It even supports webcams. Probably one of the best programs I've ever used.
I just wish it was able to skip commercials on a recorded tv program or skip to a point in a recorded TV show...
yeah it is a great service! i've been using it even before i got into winmo (which was in '03!!)
GreyGabe, edit the comercials out on your pc with a vid editing software...
same here, using it for years. first started to stream with it on my MPX220 (non-edge) and i was blown away then. About to stream one of my shows in an hour or so at work....
Just for live TV, have a decent computer. after i did an upgrade to a better processor and ram, the streams coppyness/buffering almost dissappeared. Also, having something better than DSL helped a lot too...
I've got the 3GB data plan from AT&T on my Lumia 900 and on my girlfriend's Lumia 900. She walks about an hour and a half to work and streams all the way there....so far in 7 days she's used about 800MB of data. She's kind of computer illiterate, so I'm looking for a super simple way for her to just get an app and download the songs at home while on WiFi so she's not sending me a super long list of songs to download for her when I get time...and so we can cut back on data usage.
Any such apps? Or maybe even a website she can just use from the phone's browser to download?

Can you download from it or is it just more streaming?
Use Zune desk top to load your music to the phone.
For $8.33 a month($99.99 a year) you can get her a Zune membership and unlimited downloads of music, podcast, videos (music) over WiFi or E/3G/4G/LTE.
I personally love my Zune membership and find it's cost to be completely acceptable for my passion towards music. Smart DJ makes music discovery fun.

I use MetroRadio for streaming and I haven't had any complaints...its just a big data hog and I feel like we may be going over our 3GB plan...
Has anyone watched YouTube videos on their Note 4 yet? I get really slow buffering while watching 720p quality. 360p will buffer at times. I am on LTE, and my speedtest results are 7-10megs.
My girlfriend's s5 streams the same video on 720P alot faster than mine on LTE, at the same location. I added an APN to match hers, but no luck. Is there something I'm missing? I have not dropped the phone, yet...
Thanks for reading.
I use videobee personally because I like the way it caches the videos in comparison to the native YouTube app.
It also has an added bonus of allowing the video to be streamed via WiFi and LTE/4G/HSPA+ simultaneously, making those terrible public WiFi connections useful.
I wish there was a way to bond/aggregate all traffic that way, it would be nice to have the option so I could at least put a dent in this 30GB plan each month.
The smart network switch setting in the WiFi of this phone leads me to think it uses a form of load balancing which would be great if it actually allowed LTE to stay on while on WiFi, which perhaps or does, but then again I haven't tested it at all.
Sorry, went off topic a bit, I digress... try videobee.

Heck...I get very poor video buffering of Youtube on my PC, with Cable 'Up to 50 Mbps download speed'. I stream HD videos and stuff from Netflix all the time, no issue. Watch Youtube=crap downloads/buffering.
So the option to play videos in 1080p is there, but I have to manually choose it every time I watch any video. Every video from every channel plays in 480p now on this phone. Every other phone I've had only does that if my Internet is slow. It's a pain can anyone offer any insight? Not rooted fully stock on AT&T but using Comcast WiFi.

Not an issue with the ROM or device firmware. YouTube dynamically sets the video quality based on your Wi-Fi or data connection speed, but it's pretty strange at times. Even though my connection is 200mb/s down 50 up with TWC, YouTube drops me to 144p. If it really annoys you, you can use YouTube's web version as an alternative.

I can no longer stream HBO or Youtube unless i'm using wi-fi. This seemed to start happening right after they pushed out the last software update.
Both apps launch fine but they just buffer and never play the videos. And on my Xfinity app I can only stream/watch videos that I've recorded on my DVR. It won't stream live or on demand. I even called T-mobile who escalated the call and still found no issues. Wtf?
