TVCatchup.com - Flash Lite

Hey,
Was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to test the tvcatchup.com on a 2.1 Desire and see if it works?
I'm pretty sure it would work in Flash Lite although I can't test this (I'm using CyanogenMod and don't want to go off it).
Make sure you load the full website and not the mobile version (m.tvcatchup.com) you may need to change your User Agent.
Thanks All.

hi,
Have check and comes up as requiring flash - assume the lite does not run.
It states that it can run on a PC and Iphone only.

I think it would run but probably slowly. Why not just run it in full flash on Froyo? There are a loaf of custom ROMs available if you don't want to run the stock OTA update.

I have Froyo. Basically... long story short, I wrote an Android Guide for their forum but then learnt that apparently Flash Lite didnt work =/. I didn't see why this would be the case so thought I would get someone with a Desire to test (I didn't want to get rid of CM6 to flash a 2.1 based rom just to check).
Thanks Damo

Ah, fair enough. I struggled to get most flash video to work on 2.1 to be honest so I can see that it wouldn't work.

It used to work on 2.1 and doesn't on Froyo.

It worked great for me on Froyo using the low quality streams.

I could only get the medium quality streams to work with Froyo!
Low and High played the advert but then seemed to buffer 'for ever'.

m.tvcatchup.com worked for me on both 2.1 and now on froyo? What's the problem? 3g and wifi.

Interesting. Refuses to ever connect for me since Froyo.

Get a mirror - Skype video calling now runs on Desire

Update today

Yup. Tried it. Works great. U'll def need a mirror and an extra hand cos it gets tiring after a while.

lol nice - I don't suppose anyone knows if it works on a xoom yet?
I'll be annoyed if it does as my other half wanted to skype to her friend but we had no camera other than the xoom and now I got a camera for her laptop as I couldn't convince them both to use googletalk

I bet Skype is still buggy though.

Yep. Major buggy. Couldn't get vid to work, mute and speaker buttons not working. Still have to sign in and out everytime otherwise it constantly runs (not a bug, I know, but a bloody big annoyance). Uninstalled to an earlier version.

i'd use gtalk if i had friends on gtalk... then again i have no friends on skype either
i'm still not big on the whole video chat to be honest anyway!

It's still got issues. Having to sign in and out all the time. Having to type password each time. Some online contacts don't show for ages. Getting missed calls without so much as a ring. But so far video was very good but as expected big drain on battery due to screen on(video) and skype seemingly running in background.
Overall I'm happier. Now where is that conversion kit to use the back camera as a front camera. What came of the OneMoreFace concept. We could do with something like that nowish.

tried it from my Desire (froyo) to an iPhone/skype.
I received the video from their end, but couldn't send out my video signal :-(

I'm on Reflex S and its no good, my video initializes but then as soon as call is answered, blank screen it just goes black, but I can still receive theirs....

Tried it today, didn't receive nor i could send my video.. Quite dissapointing, but fingers crossed they fix it soon.

Has anyone tried this on the stock 2.3. It didnt work for me.

I tried this on skype this morning managed to get it to work. Seems to look alright on the computer over Wifi. Havent tried over 3G yet. Audio quality does need improving though, but the video seemed alright, a bit slow but alright.

I can report that using InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.0.9, the new Skype version does not allow video for me.
I use instead the patched version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16323558&postcount=1028
version 0.6 based on the previous version.
seems to work really fine once you set the resolution to Force 320 X 240.
Cheers

it doesnt work for me either on IC 1.0.9
i think maybe cause its is an Ace S based rom (DHD i think ?)

Yup, I have Insertcoin 1.09 using latest v06 snq kernel and it seems not working.

works for me here with plain IC 1.0.9 and using v0.6 of the skype mod (not Kernel), but need to set the camera option to "force 320x240" otherwise it will not work.

Nice news, i will give it a try shortly

On my desire with CM7 new skype is not working properly. I can't send video.

Patched version mentioned by Biafolio is working on Cm7 Rc 7. 1 if black screen problem checked in advance settings. Thanks.

It worked for me either instead of version from the Market, but the phone unexpectedly rebooted two times. I guess it's some kind of a bug.
The most strange of all that I was not using the phone at that moment. Well I've uninstalled patched version and now I'm waiting for the next official release from the Market.

[APP][UPDATED] Adobe Flash Player v10.3 or v11.. you make the call

Listed as Adobe Flash Player v11.0 for arm6 devices...
Found this over on the Optimus forums... all credit for find goes to Jameslepable, tested for our device, and it works.

working on mik cm7.1 6.5.8 rom in stock "browser". On pulse news reader and cracked app (funny articles hit it up)
Edit: Seems in the application menu its version is 11..... but on adobe's site it is 10.3...., am not entirely sure why that is but for m anyway it seems to run smoother, plus you get adobe settings in app draw which I didn't have in 10.2 (10.3 didn't work for me )

If you read through the forum, basically it's 10.3 libs wrapped in 11.0 wrapper, but works extremely well. Go to Dr. Oz or some website that has embedded video now... Now install and try same See what I mean.

hmmm... I've never used iplayer. I use dolphin hd for browsing. I think the browser is where you mostly notice it, but try it out and let me know back.
Rob

no it doesn't. tells you that you need to install flash player, and links you to flash 11 on the market. nice find tho, and i may as well keep it (thanks to the "setInstallLocation 2" tip, it's on my sd card now, so it's not like its taking up space

I can get iplayer to load but it plays like a slide show. I am using the stable cm7.
As i have stated in other threads, BBC IPLAYER did work using this version of flash and cm7 beta 1 however, whence i swithched to cm7 stable it lost its flash capabilities.
Alquez thinks its kernel related. I would love flash working.

Will try this. Thanks

Already in a screenie.
Hey guys,
There have been updates on this app since, but there seems to be a common challenge. Flash wants to peep out its libs in data instead of system. The solution is to copy the libs both places. One can choose to use symlinks to data and it has worked if any of you space saver devs cares for tip. I hope someone will go seek out such new updates and trump this thread so it may fade. Won't have time to administrate it further.
Thanks,
Rob

So there is any new flash working better with OC'ed Roms? I really wanna watch tv shows on phone but stream is so slow and fps low.

thanx buddy

Wow! Thanks a lot for the link dude, between this, my new ROM, and OC kernel - I actually love my phone now - hated it when I got it stock lol...

great job guys

Thanks man working very well.............

Working on ICS?

Thanks guys

Not working on CM9 RC2

Heh.. graphics will be called into question for armv6 on ics and beyond.. I'm sure you've read of the omax il challenges [typically referenced for camera].. Well to get ics working, hal must be rebuilt and other standards used.. Thus this device doesn't have an official cm9rc2 that I'm aware of. On unofficial versions, consult the dev who made it; as, they will know what workaround method was implored.

Nice! Thanks!

Fantastic!
I'm running Unofficial Cyanogenmod 7.2 (UPDATE) (Full maintenance release) by Alquez.
I've sideloaded the Android iplayer apk and it plays flawlessly. Very happy

I tried to install it on CM9 but it did not run.With CM9 adobe is out I guess.

ICS Video camera

Quick question - now that the photo camera on ICS for Desire Z is mostly working, would it be hard to get it to make movies?
I have no idea how hard this is to do. Just asking

You'd have to write the code.

I am not a developer, but I am certain that, yes, this is a very hard thing to do and I really haven't read anything about progress in this regard, since zbuw came up with the initial workaround to get the camera partially working.
The main problem still seems to be that, so much code has changed in ICS that we basically need new drivers from htc or qualcomm in order to get it fully working. I expect that we won't see full camera functionality until a leak comes up from which we can extract the drivers (I don't know enough about the similarities of other devices, hardware-wise, to guess on how likely this is.

That's normally fair game but you're replying to someone who can't even post in the dev section yet, don't make him download backup wipe flash discover it isn't working then restore.. no, to the best of my knowledge (having just tested it and seen it reported elsewhere) recording does not work at this time (unless some wild development has happened in the past couple days).

thanks. I will give that a shot. I kinda need video recording working from time to time, so it will be painful running ROM without it ... is that true that none of ICS ROMs have the video camera working (just pic taking)?

From everything I have read either here or CM, what I believe they are waiting on is drivers from either HTC or Qualcom to further develop the camera. I believe they have it working somewhat. I am NOT a dev by any stretch just passing along what I have read.
Hope this helps

Yes this is true, and even picture taking is iffy at best (you have to install third party app and most people can only take non-buggy pictures at VGA (really low) quality)
If you need video recording AT ALL do not use ICS yet.

thanks guys, those statements change the ground. in fact I will wait a little longer until those drivers get released and developers can fix camera issues.
I use camera for pics often and videos occasionally, so I wouldn't like a phone like that at all.
also, what does it mean that GPS is "kinda" working now (Andromadus v10), it's broken or not?
I use Google Navigation frequently whenever I get lost or traveling to current closest (unknown) chain store location and such ... and I kinda rely on that ... I guess I need to wait for a beta ROM, alphas are not for me yet.

It's an ICS Rom, and an earlier one at that. Not sure when nit was last updated, but embedded videos were, or maybe still are an issues on ICS ROMs, if I remember correctly.
There's probably a fix by now, or a work-around.
Hopefully someone will pop in and hook you up

I will like to know also. That's why I'm stil on cm7. THERE IS NO OTHER ROM WORKING 100% than. Cm7
