Hope someone can help.......ideally someone from the UK.
I'm out of contract and can't make my mind up between sticking with Winmo and getting a HTC HD2 or getting the Desire..
I've got a hero with work which is good but the beebplayer app does'nt work very well at all and I can't use TVCatchup.com through the browser either.
Can somebody tell me if the beebplayer app is any better on the desire, or if they can access the main iplayer site from the browser (or TVcatchup.com-free register)
I can't really live without these two at the moment, so any answers would help my decision
Tried beebplayer this morning and it worked fine, mind you it always worked ok on my G1, so your problems may have been reception related.
Beebplayer works for me. Its not brilliant (must be using the low res version of the video that BBC makes available for some devices). And not eery video works. Again, a BBC issue. This is similar to when I use the iplayer downloader tool available elsewhere on the internet.
The iplyaer website doesn't currently play video, it says this Flash content is not playable or similar. Aparently when Adobe release flash 10.1 all will be ok.
thanks for the quick answers guys.. it's not a reception issue, i've tried the beebplayer on my hero through wifi and it's not good.
Think it's going to be the same for the TVcatchup site until flash 10.1 comes out
tvcatchup forums says they are working on a Andriod App, but no release timescales given. Until then they wont allow any 3rd Party apps to connect to there Streams.
TVcatchup.com doesn't work right now, it should do when flash 10.1 is released though.

Now this is a new issue...Once started, on portrait mode, the slingplayer screen takes half the screnn of the HD.Also it is impossible to change channels as the buttons seem pressed there.
On Landscape mode the screen is filled up almost to the 90% capacity of the HD , thus making it very very comfortable to watch.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the portrait mode???
Thanks
slingplayer impossible to use (touchscreen version)
has anyone managed to get slingplayer mobile working well on Touch HD? The buttons are impossible to use for the remote very small and not mapped correctly, also the full screen is not the whole screen only part of it.. anyone got any tips? I searched but noone seems to have solved this?
Hope it's sorted soon, asked the wife for a Slingbox for xmas :/

its just about usable although slow to use the menus for remote control functions but the streaming and PQ are excellent so its worth having!
I have it working.
I cannot however hand out the version I am using.
So, please wait. a version that does work perfectly with HD is on its way. I can also state SlingMobile version coming out soon works perfectly on Omnia and on the X1.
Sorry I can't hand this out, and please do not ask, as refusal may offend.
Ah... wonderful news indeed as this is one of my favorite apps.
awesome, figured out I can get the current version usable with Sky plus by using the favourites buttons to set the most common remote control functions but it would be good to have a version that works with WVGA properly!! Any idea on timelines for the newer version?
Any News?

There are a few more there to relating to WM and HD.

superb alternet of skyfire,
for me skyfire was slow in comparison of mach 5 it use to take lots of time to start up and sometime it use to just not authorise to login
and in this mach 5 we can watch videos in full screen when videos are detected it plays it in full screen.
have a look guys
http://www.wmexperts.com/netacceler-...native-skyfire
Corrected link: http://www.wmexperts.com/netacceler-mach5-browser-decent-alternative-skyfire
It does look good, but I don't like that it's just a demo and they will charge (or plan to charge) for it when the demo expires
thanks for correcting link.
it seems they are charging for fuller version but believe man the lagging problem of skyfire and all those slow interval in pages when u zoom in and out. really i found not usefull at all when i used skyfire except self console of watch every type of videos.
but i have used it and will be using till june ofcourse coz its free and ya believe me its better interms of:
tab pages
smooth scroll
fast
doesnot take that long to open pages
it identifies video and enables us to zoom in
landscape view manually thats what i think is much more better den using skyfire and one additional rotation program.
i would appreciate opera browser with all those functions if its what i am understanding from forum about opera 9.7 but i am not sure..
any way
my opinion

I have been using their trial version for more than 3 months, it seems there is no expire date.
the new version is really fast, but still not fully support Java and active X as they claim in their offical site.
i guess trial version will end by next month according to there website
I registered on their website and they only have the QVGA and VGA cabs. Anyone have the WVGA version?

Hi Guys,is there a tv guide that works on our HDs,updated by connecting to Windows mobile,maybe the weeks programs on freeview.
Don
I'm also looking for this!
Me too, but for Bulgarian TV.
Doesn't anyone out there know of anything.It would be handy.
I am using TV-Browser.
A user called "Benne" wrote a viewer for WindowsMobile called TV-Browser Mini.
You have to install the desktopversion of TV-Browser. For the export to TV-Browser Mini you need a plugin provided by Benne.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Best regards
here try this. I use this on my Touch Pro2 and works good, some of the menus are slightly off but still very very good. I forget where exactly I found it, I actually have been using it for almost a year on my Touch Pro and then my Imagio and now my Touch Pro2.
you could try asking the developer of OnTV
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548653
You can also try SPB Tv.
Thanks for the suggestions,lads, RKnight's one won't work on the HD but the last one is promising if I can get the listings to stay on the HD after updating as the weather does.I have asked the developer.
Don
I was thinking about developing a TV-guide for the touch HD. There are some open source XML sources out there that could be used. I went as far as getting a fully working prototype up and running on my own device.
If its something that people want I could get it get it to a release build?
Yes Please

i know exactly how you felt, my contract ran out 6 weeks before wp7 got released so on the day it came out i just had to get one, I got my Omnia 7 from Orange But apparently there was some sort of shortage or something and so i drove to london to get mine cos i knew they were in stock there!

The actual app works so when I launch it takes you to the mobile youtube site and I can watch the videos but my issue is if I go to a website which has a embedded youtube video I should be able to click it and it should open the video this doesn't happen? am I doing something wrong? Because it's not functioning like the way pocketnow.com are describing it in their video of the youtube plugin?

hehe I didnt think I was alone!
Is it the mutz nutz then?
Dagnammit I am in a pickle now!!!! What to do
Monthly data limits are still a bit piddly these days considering how data centric devices are
I have the same issue with the HD7.
If I go to the YouTube mobile site, i can play the video but if I try to play the SAME video from YouTube.com it will not play nor will links from Facebook or the pocket now article!!!
This appears to have now been fixed by YouTube as the are now automatically redirecting the links to the mobile site.
I have the same problem on my lg optimus 7. I installed the plugin but no links on the exploer page or facebook what to do?
Same problem
Hey Guys
I have the same problem on my Samsung focus....

If you want to get Omnia 7 on t-mobile,
The 30quid *18-month contract (with 55 cashback - 25 from the site, 30 from topcashback) on buymobilephones .net seems a good dealto me!
comes with 600 mins, 500 txts and 1GB internet!
Same problem with my Omnia 7 I'm not reditect to the youtube player using IE to see a page which has an embedded you tube video. Any help? theres no too much things to configurate so I don't know how we can fix the problem.
The same here. Plugin just plays fine from m.youtube
But on websites with YouTube videos nothing happens. Blank space.
I suggest to all of us to expose the problem also here , in Microsoft Answers social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7/threads/ This is not only happens in few devices there are HD7, Focus, Optimus 7 and Omnia 7 with this issue.
It's a region bug another WP7 user discovered that if he changes the system language from english (canada) to english (United States) the Youtube plugin works properly. I have an unlocked Omnia 7 in Spain and for me works english (United Kindom).
Indeed does not work. Im dutch but have my omia7 on italian since it lacks dutch support. Embedded youtube does stay blank and does not work. Ill switch to usa to see if it works. Is it language or region related?
Think I got a hint from this post

My browser was set up to view websites as a desktop browser. When it was changed to view a mobile browser the links on web pages started playing from m.youtube.com as they should.
Thanks

Hi guys, been a while since the 8525 days, now i'm looking at doing something new (to me) with my TP2. Anyone have a working life streaming solution? I've looked through and tried a bunch, and so far best I've been able to find is ustream or bambuser apps which work well on xdandroid FroYo (Can't get GingerBread to boot all the way..) other than the mike, they do not seem to pick up any sound. . .please advise
some stuff i found, but still no cigar:
http://www.similarsitesearch.com/alternatives-to/bambuser.com

Thanks!

Do you want an Android or Windows Mobile solution? If you want an Android solution, you posted in the wrong section.
Well, either..I would like any solution that works on TP2; either on WM6.5, or XDAndroid runnin off my SD card (see top two threads in android dev). Maybe someone even knows a mike fix for the latter. Ustream is nice cause it includes chat capability in the mobile client, but neither it or bambuser pick up any sound.
I just tried Quik4.2 on WM6.5 and it works ok, but Quik kind of sux, crappy website features in comparison and there is no channel chat at all .

XDAndroid requires updated acoustic libraries in order to pick up audio when recording video. Please search before throwing people off on tangents like that.
