I haven't been able to get any audio or video streams to work on the kaiser. I have tried both IE and Opera. With my treo 750 windows media player would open and the stream would begin. With the kaiser, I get a message re: save or open stream. Neither selection works. Any thoughts?
Bump please. I can't figure this out.
Pocket Player will stream .pls and other formats as well as wma. I found that the best way to do it is to set up PP as the default device associated with all media types (omfg I wish I could uninstall WMP). Then maneuver to the streaming link on your mobile browser (dito for Opera over PIE) and click on the streaming link and PP should open and pick it up. Works like a dream.
I always use KCRW to test streaming capability - it's the most reliable and stable I have found (not to mention it's also an awesome station...). Click on the "Listen" link and then look for the "Stand Alone Player" links. I prefer mp3 streams.
Hope this helps.
Is anyone able to get the ESPN radio app working on their GTab? I am running Vegan and the app opens but won't connect. I am able to use the Pod casts portion but not the radio portion. Any help would be appreciate.
Try the Public Radio App
I am using the Public Radio Live Stream app and I am listening to ESPN Bristol CT (ESPN Radio) Sports and it is working fine on my tablet. I do have a bit of an echo in my bluetooth headphones but sounds OK with a regular headset. I also am listening to a college radio station's stream that would only come in over Miren browser and not the standard browser, Skyfire, Opera or Dolphin HD. That's cool since their stream in in a swf player (and my son is the DJ a little later). Try that with an iPad.
works perfectly, thank you.
Hello,
Just recieved my woot.com gtablet today. Installed TNT Lite 4.4.0 on it. Browser is Dolphin HD 4.50.
For the past few hours ive been looking for a player that will play .wmv streams from a website (ex: click "newsvideo.wmv" on a website and a player opens to play it)
More specifically I am trying to get it to work with this one: etvnet(dot)com
The windows media player on the marketplace has bad reviews, so I'm hesitant to buy it.
If anyone could throw out a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated
Seems like Moonlight/Silverlight could work on this website instead if I use the in browser player.
Anyone know of a Moonlight app / plugin that works on gtab?
Hi Folks,
I am new to WP8 and I have the following question that I have not found an answer for:
There is one thing really missing in WP8 - it is ability to play mp3 streams in the background.
You can open mp3 stream in internet explorer and it will play. But you can not switch to any other screen - music stops playing.
I have not found any applications that allow you to play mp3 streams in the background also. Usually players allow you only to play music from library or from hardcoded stream. So is there any way hidden way to do it?
There are definitely APIs to do it; even Windows Phone 7 could do this. For a random example of an app that uses background streaming, see Pandora.
It's also possible to stream music from a web page while the browser is not in the foreground, using HTML5. For example, both Pandora.com and m.SoundCloud.com work fine. Typically web-based streaming only allows play/pause controls on the global media control, though you can of course switch back to the web browser tab for more control.
If you're looking for an app that will play music from an arbitrary stream that you pass it, I'm not aware of such an app but I haven't been looking. It's possible in the APIs, and there's probably an app that does it...
Hi Folks,
Does anyone know?
In Settings > Apps there's no default video player displayed. In Settings > Apps > Configure Apps there's no "video app"... There's configuration for Home App (Launcher), Browser, Phone, SMS, Camera, Gallery, Music and Mail. No video?
The stock video player is pretty lame so I'd like to use something decent like MX, VLC?
Thanks in advance

Settings - Apps - 3 button menu-- Reset app preferences .
It basically removes all the defaults . And next time you watch a video ,, it will ask you which player to use.

Thanks for the reply, but nope it doesn't work - it still loads up the default video player? I can't believe Oneplus doesn't give you the option of choosing the video player... I should add this is only in browser streaming.

To my knowledge, in Browser streaming, the browser-built-in player is used and not the player that comes with your ROM. I may be wrong, though.

I figured out what the problem is and it was really quite a simple one which I've spent hours on...
On my old HTC M7s I have Dolphin as my main browser... I've also got the Jetpack add-on installed that includes a media player which plays flash. It's this player that is loading up for the majority of videos I view on that phone... What has me a little stumped is that it also loads up in Chrome too. I downloaded Firefox to the M7 today and it didn't load videos in the media player - it played them in Firefox's native media player. It was the same process as the Oneplus 3 so it got me thinking.
I think if the media player hadn't loaded in Chrome as well it would have been a lot quicker to work out that this was a "Dolphin only" add-on perk.
Sadly the Jetpack isn't supported in Nougat.
It's not a big deal but we've no choice (as fair as I know) but to watch any videos in the normal browsers' players... Which don't have the on-screen brightness / sound / video search capabilities like you see on the stand alone players like VLC and MX Player.
If anyone has any other ideas :good:
FYI: I've tried Puffin and Photon.
Just a shame browser vendors don't give you the option to view web videos in an alternative app as default. Firefox is really the only browser that sort of half offers that option.
Not sure if this might work, but you can try an app called better open with. You can set defaults for certain type of file types like video stream, audio stream, PDF, etc. Either way, better open with is a better alternative than the stock defualts dialog.
