I have an htc incredible and we havent got froyo yet, but I was wondering when and if we did if mlb.tv would work on it. Is it working for anyone with a N1 with 2.2? When using my phone and if i login it will open the window to play the video but it just sits there and never opens anything. Even if you dont have a mlb.tv account you should be able to see if it plays video. Just wanted to know.
TIA

you might have to set the browser to desktop....
then again, i was on the Rolex website yesterday, and it ran kind of slow, but hell, the flash is so intensive, it runs slow on my desktop too.
edit: nevermind... I should have read your post a little better.
videos play fine.

I just tried in my home connection and phone connection. I could load the video player for a game played earlier today and even got the video to start playing once, but it was a horrible process and the video appeared to be really choppy. It is worth mentioning that my home internet connection is very slow ( less than 1mbps ) and I can't get consistent 3g anywhere in my house ( I live in rural Idaho ). Next time I'm in town I will give it a try and report back.

Just tried it in 3g. No go. The video is way too choppy. It displays a message saying the video isn't optimized for mobile viewing.

A quick note: I didn't try any of the 3rd-party browsers. I have a feeling SkyFire might be able to handle it.

Has anyone discovered any other options for video chat yet? I wish there was one with a desktop client....
Was looking for another app as well... tried Fring but it uses the back camera.
Tango sucks though, it's so stuttery and laggy even over wifi. I'm gonna try Qik next, but it doesn't seem like there's any good video calling app for android yet.

ooVoo did not allow me to do video chat as it will not let me select using the front facing camera as my video source in the app settings on my Nexus S nor my girlfriends. So it is not a viable choice for Nexus S owners.
I wrote qik support on this last week, but they couldn't give be an ETA on a video chat app for NS.

About to just program a video chat app myself. -_-
On ooVoo's website, it says that they are working on Nexus S compatibility. The last time I checked was couple weeks ago, so yeah, could have changed by now.
nothing works except tango. Which 'works' but doesn't work. I have a bunch of video chat apps installed on my phone waiting patiently for one of them to update.
I am SO STOKED about oovoo! Desktop to mobile! Anf they announced support for NS!!! argh!

I am hoping Skype video support comes to Android sometime soon. My family that lives all over the country uses it to keep in touch, so it'd be nice to have that option from my phone. I don't really have a reason to use video chat on my phone otherwise at the moment.

I tried ooVoo and it looks promising, but yeah it doesn't work for NS yet. The UI is nice, and the desktop client seems good. Keeping an eye on this one...
Can't believe Google dropped the ball on this. THEIR phone with a FFC and no Google Chat video.
Whats the best video messaging app. Right now Im using Tango to video chat off a Galaxy Tab and Thunderbolt. But its got some bugs.. Its really staticy. Does anyone recommend another video app. I got the tab last week and gave it to my girlfriend so we can chat while shes away on business, she's in new york while im in chicago but we can only see eachother for about 15 mins then we gotta talk off the phone cuz there is so much static, and delay.
Im hoping someone has an ace up their sleeve because that would be awesome
I used Tango last night, but the guy I was testing wiyh said my image was maginified way too much. All he could see was my eye and nose.

I'd tested tango and oovoo.
Both dont work fully with Gingerbread 2.3.3.
The video of the frontcam is 90 degrees turned.
The video and audio quality is better with oovoo.
The audio quality with tango is terrible.

I like oovoo. It works well for me.
IMHO Skype dropped the ball big-time by not including video (& sms) for android. I'm using ooVoo. I'm pretty sure it's the only app that allows video calling from android to PC. When it works, it works great - even on 3G. But it has been giving problems these last few days. However, the support that I've received from them has been good. They haven't figured out what the problem is yet, they're looking into out & their responses have been quick.

My Videos are never aligned properly, half of the time the buttons don't work and I cant view in more than 360p without having a terrible lag! Is it how it is supposed to be in the captivate? I searched a lot about this but didn't find anyone mentioning it so I thought i should ask

Facebook has a Sling webapp that works on Linux through Flash, should work... keyword should, but you never know
The stand alone sling app is hard to find. Here is a link to the one I use.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20708654/SlingPlayer-2.0.3508-Setup-US.exe
I prefer it over the web apps. You can force it to stream HD and that is nice.
BTW, don't take any upgrade that the app offers or it won't work any more.

Hi,
I was reading through the feeds from this thread and followed to download the stand alone app for slingplayer.
Got the stand alone slingplayer to install and actually can see my slingboxes.
Now - I've looked everywhere on the slingplayer to be able to "cast" it using chromecast but sorry, I can't find any option to do that.
The slingplayer version I got is 2.0.3.508
Any help please to further explain to a rookie?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you have the Chromecast extension installed in Chrome Browser.
Click the cast button in the browser and you will see a little gray drop-down arrow.
In there click Cast Entire Screen.

I do have the Chromecast extension installed to my Chrome browser and still not too succesful.
So I started the standalone Slingplayer, got the video I needed showing already on my laptop, went back to my Chrome browser, then onto Chromecast icon just next to the url field. No gray drop down arrow to indicate option for clicking Cast Entire Screen.

For some reason, I cannot stream using the embedded player. It connects and shows my slingbox 350 (with an amber/yellow light), but when I try to access it, it says "Unable to connect, please make sure your slingbox is on and connected..."
I can connect and stream using the normal watch.slingbox.com site, but as soon as I use the embedded, it doesn't work. I should also mention it works fine on my Nexus 4 and 7.
Any thoughts?

The announcement was today, finally, but guess what? No Solo or HD support. My Solo works perfectly - hate to buy another box. I wonder what the chances are of getting this app to work with legacy products... They claim on their website that the reason they couldn't add support was because the older boxes weren't capable. If they can stream to a Roku, they're definitely capable. I believe that about as much as I believe the original iPhone was not "capable" of sending MMS. I get that they're a business, but I hate when trying to force current customers to upgrade is so blatant.

Yep, Sling is lying.
I replaced my Slingbox in UK a year ago. They only sold the Solo and Pro HD then. Neither is supported now for Chromecast, despite these not yet being officially legacy

I've read on some other threads that you may have to set the resolution of your PC to get it to work. Try different display resolution settings. Also, try playing with the Chromecast settings within Chrome browser. There is a guide on this forum about how to access the settings.

it works good for me. I saw some stutters if I tried to cast from the machine I have setup as the server but it was smooth from my MacBook pro. the quality was almost as good as I saw on the screen. you'll want to get the plex media server and yes its free. so just set it up with a couple movies to see how it works. Once you have it setup just visit the plex server URL from the computer you want to cast from and play the movie and cast. URL should be localserverip:32400/web.
UPDATE:
I tested this with an 8 yr old dell laptop and a an acer netbook and they couldn't handle play back so i know they wouldn't cast. I then tried my work laptop. It about 2yrs old so its more recent. On my 2.4ghz ssid (same one the CC is on) it was slightly choppy when I switched to my 5ghz ssid it was smooth. I'll play around some more and report anything else I find. I really encourage you just to try it. It only takes a few minutes to set up for you to see for yourself.
Just wanted to share this article from google about tab casting..If I saw this I wouldn't have set up all my old machines lol
