MS Silverlight - Desire General

Hi,
would like to know if theres any Silverlight capable Browser available
for the Desire.
tryed search but couldnt find anything.
Why Silverlight, Mediaportal offers with ipimp a nice live tv streaming feature,
capable for iphone or also for webkit browsers supporting silverlight, like
chrome does ... working pretty nice here.
Would be great to get live tv stream on my desire too
thanks ahead for a hint.

you can try skyfire

tryed it, no luck there too, but thanks for the tip

Is there something new about Silverlight for Android?
I will use it to watch live TV on my phone.

MS Silverlight is not supported for android at the moment. But there is a project named moonlight that should run silverlight but i don't know how that work.

sky player would probably work if silverlight was able to run too

I've tried with Firefox and Skyfire, but both require the Silverlight plugin to play the TV from my local provider.
There are no silver- or moonlight plugins for these browsers

Netflix

Has any one figured out how to get netflix to stream with one of the browsers on TP2.
Haven't tried anything with this on the TP2 yet, but for this to work you would need at least two things to start:
1. An older Netflix account that still uses the Flash player rather than the Silverlight player.
2. Flash working in Opera - or just use Skyfire which has Flash support built in.
On a related note, one nice thing that you can use on the TP2 is this app from Microsoft for managing your Netflix queue:

Someone could get creative and port the Roku GPL netflix player code...
The source code is at Roku's site under help section, GPL resources.

Windows Phone 7 runs Silverlight 2 for web apps.

I made some interesting discoveries while trying to get the Windows Phone emulator to load our HD Radio and TV services on the device…
The first is Silverlight version 2 is the default version for the OS and it makes all the apps work, however I see something different from Silverlight 2.
It supports no problem smooth streaming and progressive download, however when it comes to broadcast or on demand streaming it just says “error 40001”
I did however some testing… and it handles Microsoft® VC1 HD with no problems… it was a little shocking to see that but well it works…
However since all our TV services have 5.1 audio it behaves just like the old windows mobile, no sound at all...
I am uploading a test site so you can check it out and try to figure out why it just won’t take the broadcast or on demand settings.
The site is not up but the url to test it is:

microsoft silverlight on android (i.e. moonlight)?

Hey guys. I thought of trying to watch a netflix movie on the phone. Used dolphin browser on desktop mode and it got me to the play screen, but then netflix told me I needed silverlight...i clicked to download that and of course I get a .exe file.
I searched and did not see an apk for silverlight...is there anything similar that will trigger playback of media that requires silverlight?
Or maybe better but highly doubtful, is there a release of silverlight for android?
If no to the above, anybody working on a fix for this? Got hulu working, now let's get netflix going!
Swyped from my HTC Evo 4G on the MetroPCS 1X network!
Quite simple, nope. Microsoft claims Silverlight is too big for Android (and given that it's a Microsoft POS... Yeah, I'm inclined to agree).
Netflix has said they're going to be coming out with an Android app "soon," since they released iPad and iPhone apps.
and there is no way to get at the stream directly from outside the silverlight environment with an app similar to the hulu app?
I know netflix hired an android dev recently but I wonder how long the turnaround time will be for the app...

Where is this Hulu app?? I cannot find it..
its under themes & apps a page or two in...
what about moonlight? I installed the sdk and saw a demo app that played a silverlight video. how come noone has developed this further?!

Unfortunately, no, you can't get it outside of Silverlight. Silverlight is required for the DRM that Netflix uses to prevent you from downloading movies (a la YouTube). The sole exception is the devices which have Netflix support (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc.) which in turn have their own strong DRM, and encrypt the stream.
makes sense.
damn I guess we're stuck until the app gets released...whenever that is!

Where is this app? I looked when it was mentioned but didn't see it. Does it actually work?

I call BS, no one from Microsoft said this. SL is one the main programming languages in Windows Phone 7 (I've been a SL dev since version 1.1 alpha) and runs on pretty comparable Android hardware just fine.
It's a simple decision to not support Linux. SL supports the Mac and Windows platform and pays licenses for every copy downloaded because of some commercial media codecs they're using in the runtime. Linux support has been relegated to Novel who support Silverlight through the Mono/Moonlight project, and they provide their own codec alternatives to get around the licensing issues.
Silverlight is a very fast moving tech, in the last 3 major releases, an average 8 out of 10 top developer requested features were implemented by the Silverlight teams at Microsoft. Right now, the #1 requested feature for the next version, by far, is greater platform support:

In the old Windows Mobile world Skyfire was a way to view full Flash and Silverlight content, but alas their Android version currently doesn't support this.

Greg Peters, of Netflix, announced that select android phones will be getting Netflix streaming early next year. It's "select" because the android platform does not have a common DRM solution, and Netflix's content providers require it in order to allow streaming media. The "select" phones have not been announced, and Greg Peters said that they unfortunately have to work with manufacturers on a phone by phone basis in order to get the required DRM.
All I know is, if you have Sprint TV, which you should if you have an Evo (I have an Epic myself), Sprint's very own version of DRM is baked in. If Netflix has been talking to Samsung and Sprint to get instant streaming on the Sprint Android phones, we may already have what we need in order to get it (when it finally comes out, that is).
I'm just mad that WP7 had Netflix at launch. On another note iPhone's get all the love and priority. That's one thing I miss about my iPhone, the apps.
I'm thinking of buying an iPod Touch and using that for Netflix via Wifi Tether. I talk to a lot of Netflix higher ups and never get a chance to ask them about it.

Looks like the Mono/Moonlight team are working on porting Moonlight to Android phones. They had a demo at Mix11 (I'd link you to the blog post I just saw about it, but I guess I need to post more often to be allowed to link to outside sources).
Just Google for "jeffrey stedfast moonlight android" and it should be the first match.
Mono developers were laid off... no more .net for linux for a long while...
Do we have moonlight already on Android?

[Q] Questions re Airplay (root)

I have a few questions for the more knowledgeable, resp. for the people with rooted AFTVs:
Has anybody tried any Airplay-Out app like AirAudio or AllStream. I don't have a rooted AFTV yet and the only thing I am actually missing on mine is airplay out (I only intend to use AFTV for music playback), so I wonder if any of those apps work as advertised and if I should go through the troble of trying to find a rootable AFTV in germany (new ones sold aren't rootable anymore).
If nobody has tried this yet, maybe someone is curious and test and let us know?
Install Pushbullet on your fire tv. You can send and recieve just about anything through Pushbullet. You can even send inbrowser video for most websites by simply sharing the url with pushbullet. Another nice thing is that XBMC has a Pushbullet service addon, which means you can send everything to your XBMC. Pushbullet has got to be the best XBMC addon of the past year. Best of all, its free and simple to use, and its cross platform. XBMC, Android, Windows, Mac etc plus firefox and some other browsers also have a pushbullet addon. Pushbullet in my opinion is by far the easiest and best way to send content instantly from one device to another. You can be 10 thousand miles away from all your devices running Pushbullet and can still instantly send anything to them. Its all done through your Gmail so there is no need to be connected to the same router.
Thanks, but I am not trying to send video or anything TO the AFTV/Kodi. I want to send music FROM AFTV to Airplay devices and pushbullet can't do that.
But apart from that pushbullet seems nice for other tasks, will have a look at it.
I tried it a couple months ago while I still had root. Neither Airaudio nor Allstream worked.
Ah, I feared as much. Thanks for the info, that spares me a lot of trouble.
If only I could find a device capable of outputting via Airplay - that is not from Apple, that is
My Eny M8 Android box does it, so I guess most of the Amlogic s802 boxes will do it. However no HD Netflix, Vudu ... Most streaming services are limited to 480p and there is no Amazon instant. Linux can output via pulse audio. There is Airfoil for Mac( only if you what multi zone) and Windows systems.
I am running Mediamonkey on Windows with Eric Mille's awesome Remote Speakers Output, but running a windows machine 24/7 only for Music is a bit overkill. I love the possibilties with Mediamonkey though (Dynamic playlist, Auto DJ, a lot of nice plugins) and find that almost no other platform is so versatile. And it is actually not easy to get Windows and Mac to output Airplay reliably and in sync to a few Airport Expresses without hiccups, no matter if I use iTunes (bah), RSO or Airfoil. So I was hoping to use Kodi, which is not bad at music playback, but Airplay is one of my output channels and I am looking for a stable and reliable platform, with not too much power consumption. I was so hoping AFTV could be the one...
I've read a litte about pulse audio, but I am a complete Linux lamer...

What apps do you use most on your tablet for media consumption and productivity?

I am not a fan of mobile games so could someone suggest me some good apps that I should download?
Plex is superb.
OneNote is a must.
Tapatalk and Relay are very good.
Google music for my music necessities.
Carcassonne is one of my favorite games if you're interested in trying a new one.

The Netflix app has a cast button which loads Netflix on the Chromecast then using the phone/tablet you select what you wanna watch, so in a sense the Android app is like a remote for the Chromecast. Kinda dumb why you would judge without knowing what your talking about. Also my tab didn't come with Adobe. Sorry i don't do things like you.

Sorry to see you are so far behind in the world.
I guess you don't got a smart TV then. Android TV? Voice control?
It's not like YouTube to TV so that sucks for you.
Going through all that trouble.
You know, what you're doing there is actually a setting u can call it a trick but I don't know if I wanna tell you.
And honestly since ya don't got a HDR TV I suppose it's better to watch on tab itself ...
Well about Adobe, man I give up. Some people just don't apply logic. You must be one of those older generation or some rich dude who doesn't spend or just some retard.
Then again I'm a Mensan so I won't judge. You live your tier 3 life man, AI is what's happening in case you missed it.
And by the way, I absolutely know what you're talking of would have been better to buy a compute stick instead of Chromecast coz google really rapeyd ya on that one.
Lol
And Netflix is so 2010 nowadays a psarip will do.
Amazon people don't rip much.
Also I'm just paying 7 USD per year for it.
I tried Nextflix too and I paid for a month as well.
Not worth plus the internet it sucks it's better to just torrent from uni

The others are proprietary and...not terrible. Autodesk has made sketchbook pro for win/OSX (they're the same to me) .. totally free, not sure about sketchbook for android as I bought it years ago and cant tell if its paid or not since it's on my tablet.
