Hello, I was just wondering if it was possible to stream this video, its a direct link,so I was just wondering if I could stream it. Here is the link:
http://www.putlocker.com/get_file.php?download=7J7TGQ5TSA25&key=3b8c484fe4425b25&mobile=1
I've tried streaming before and never got it to work. I read somewhere that Android 3.0 added video streaming and that was the first time I read anything that implied previous versions of Android couldn't do it.
I've definitely been able to stream some, but not all direct link videos. From dk28 & now from ec05.

I hope this hasn't been covered before. I DID search, so I apologize if it has directly been addressed.
I have some questions concerning streaming video. I have tcmp and have no problems with youtube, but I've got a list of some websites here that I believe are rstp. I tried the htc player from here, but still can't get these sites to load. Some of the sites on these links are network stations (NBC, Fox, etc), so I think it would be awesome to be able to watch these.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

How did you get youtube and TCPMP to work together? I never understood how to get it to work, I have the flash plugin and TCPMP installed but whenever the Youtube video opens in TCPMP it is so jumpy and laggy that its unwatchable, and it never works in full screen.
problem seems to be you're using an MDA (wizard).
The MDA is more than capable of playing streaming media, but you have to remember that youtube videos are not encoded for the low-bandwidth and slow-cpu of a phone.
The Titan (Mogul, which forum you're posting in) has double the CPU power of the Wizard, and can connect over 4x as fast to the internet.
It works just fine on the mogul/Titan.
what are you talking about? I have both the Wizard and the Mogul from Sprint, I am talking about using my Mogul to play youtube videos using EVDO. I know that the Wizard cant play the videos. But I don't know how to setup youtube on my phone.
Go to http://www.gopckt.com/ they have the mobile version of youtube that works really well with tcpmp. all the youtube videos are available unlike the m.youtube.com version
Check this forum. Forget mobile youtube, it blows http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/90808-full-youtube-access.html

I've also been looking for decent streaming media links and applications especially ones that are free of charge. I happened to come across this one which I found on the Microsoft site. https://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/domore/msnbc.mspx It only plays MSNBC network media but it works quite nicely. Videos also seem to be formatted specifically for wide screen. They look awesome and they stream rather quickly in my location. Check it out, I think you may like this app and even if you don't at least it was FREE.
Hello,
Do I have this great device: HTC Hero.
One question:
WHY IS THERE NO STREAMING VIDEO!
I can visit YouTube, but other streaming video does not work.
Do you have an answer to this question or a suggestion so that I can watch streaming videos?
Hero does support streaming video - if you can select an "iPhone" stream, it usually works.
Note that the vast majority of streamed flash video doesn't work, because the flash player isn't Flash 10 compatible.
Regards,
Dave
alright guys. need some help here. I have an Iconia n have the at&t verse app installed. I have downloaded some videos for my kids to watch when we go on vacation from the app. yet when I try to watch them I get a native video player error. I guess my question is is there any way to watch these videos within the app or thru a different player???
Presumably, your videos are in avi format. The native player can't handle that, you need to either convert the video to a compatible format, or download one of the many apps that can playback different video files. I am using rockplayer, others have suggested moboplayer. You should be able to find them both in the market.
Hi,
Read through video streaming search results and didn't find quite the question I have so here goes...I'm trying to watch some TV programs streaming from a website mobilev*ds.org and am having a problem getting some (most) links to play - some play eventually but after multiple efforts. I have tried a nunber of browsers (Dolphin, Chrome, Firefox with Flash side installed) but none are consistently working. I also use the same streaming site with my iPhone and the programs launch Quicktime with no problems. Any ideas what I might try next? I'd rather not download the material.
Thanks,
Jack
It appears that site uses Flash to stream the videos, at least that's what Chrome on my PC indicates. It appears the videos are in MP4 format which would explain why Quicktime would open and play it. Since Flash is not officially supported on the Nexus 7 people have had to try various workarounds to enable it. Generally it involves side loading Flash player version 11.1.111.5 or above. Do a search through the Nexus 7 forums here for "flash" and you'll see much discussion on subject.
Here is one such thread on sideloading Flash and using the Firefox Beta browser.

Thanks for the advice - bit strange that the vids are MP4 but will play on Chrome on iPhone which doesn't support flash either. Not sure how this all works....tried the sideload of Flash (11.5) but got a flash error on Firefox - maybe I'll try a later version of flash and see if that works...some of the vids work in Chrome on the Nexus 7 while some don't (I use only Videobam links). I thought Nexus 7 could cope with MP4 files?
Don't suppose there is a way to browse these files without downloading using say MX player?
Cheers,
Jack
Have you tried changing your user agent in dolphin browser to iPhone or iPad? Some websites automatically assume that since you're using an android tablet to browse the site, you can watch videos in flash. I've found that changing the user agent to an idevice will often force the site to switch to HTML5 video.
If switching the user agent doesn't immediately work. Leave the user agent as iPhone or iPad and reboot. Then try it again. That has helped me before.
If any more experienced members want to weigh in on this question, please do.

Thanks - I'll try that later. Did a root around and have a few things to try later on one of them being the above. Perhaps (though I'm not sure quite how) MX player would be an option, couldn't find a Nexus 7 example but have seen it play an online stream - not sure how this would work on N7 as when opening the MX Player app I didn't find an option to browse or enter a URL. The example I saw showed a user browsing a site and launching a vid and then being asked which player to use, something which doesn't happen when I launch that particular mobile video site. Perhaps there are some settings within the browser that I can play with as you've indicated above....If I have any success I'll post and let you know, anyone else feel free to suggest a workaround....
Thanks,
Jack

I side loaded the install_flash_player_ICS.apk (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.17/install_flash_player_ics.apk) before installing the Firefox browser. Then visited the site and successfully streamed several TV shows.
I would assume that you would have to download the video to have MX Player launch the file. Might want to try VLC Player and see if you can stream content the way you're trying to stream it.

MX Player can stream from a network location. You do need put in the full network path to the media file.
Edit to add: I took the streaming file link for one show, http://mvds1.org/media/tv/grimm/Grimm.S02E04.Quill.HDTV.x264-2HD.mp4.php, and dropped the .php when pasted in the MX player network stream entry box and was able to stream the video.

Hi,
Thanks to everyone for the help - I tried 2 methods last night and was successful in both (mostly). I downloaded the Boat Browser from the play store and it played the videobam links, albeit not great quality but acceptable enough. The mobile video site also had links to another stream (show was B Bad) which I could never get to play in Quicktime (it stuttered all over the place) and while I could copy the URL to MX Player, remove the .php extension and get it to load, it had the same stuttering issues (but the video playback quality was better). I tried the videobam link in MX Player and couldn't get it to work - the videobam links don't give the fill file extension, just videobam.com/GFQ.....(no MP4 as with the link posted by the user above.
So I'm quite happy with the Boat browser for viewing these vids and hopefully it will work with other sites, MX Player has a nicer look/feel to it but I am not sure how to find the proper links from videobam to play the vid in there - any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks for all the help to those that made suggestions,
Jack
Do you have a link to the video your trying to play from the videobam site or a link to the main media site that streams videos from the videobam site? The videobam site appears tobe a hosting site where people host video that they then link to from other websites. See the videobam/faq page for more information. You may be able to stream or download directly from the videobam site if the download link is available on the page that is streaming the video. See the videobam demo page for one such example.
Some streaming sites do not provide easy access to the streaming file to prevent users from doing what your attempting to do by streaming to MX Player. They generate money they use to operate by having users view the video with advertising embedded on the streaming web page.
As to the issue of video quality. Many factors can affect the end user quality. They range from poor recording quality, poor encoding quality, poor internet connections between your broadband provider and the site that streams the content, and your overall broadband speed. Trying to stream high definition content through a low speed broadband connection can contribute to a poor streaming experience.
Good to know. Ima try that ics apk cus um havin issues too

Is there something built within Samsung that will prevent streaming apps from playing video? I can't get any streaming app to play video whether it's streamed or downloaded. It doesn't matter whether it's Netflix, Peacock, Vudu, whatever. When I go to play a video, I get a playback error.
Anyone encounter something similar?
Instead of recreating a similar thread, I'll just bump this one. Hoping to get some help on this. My device is stock, rooted with Magisk and I can't get any streaming app to work whether connected to the internet with with videos downloaded within the app. Has anyone encountered something similar. The errors codes all point to something with the internet connection, but as mentioned, it gives the same errors even for downloaded videos.
