Can you stream a video? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I have discovered a nasty little bug in the prime, mainly that the wifi (without BT on, mind you) is so slow that I cant even stream a 240p video without it buffering and stopping every few seconds. Can the rest of you stream video fine? (Not only from the YouTube app but from online sources)

I can see streams from Justin.tv at 720+ resolution without problems. Is it just happening on your prime? Can you see the same streams fine on a PC or laptop via wireless?

Possible to stream videos to xbox 360?

Apologies if this is a stupid question...
When I record a video on my phone, I'd like to be able to stream the clip on to my television through AllShare. Sadly, my television won't play the files. Neither will my 360.
Is it simply that neither will recognise the file format? Or am I doing something completely wrong?
I don't think the 360 supports the playback of recorded videos. I couldn't get mine to work when I tried.
It seemed to be pushing a 3gpp video instead of the mp4 when I did it. Maybe the fact that it was 1080p didn't help either.
Must give it another go at some point.

You can stream via allshare to the xbox, but the xbox has to be in media center mode.

I couldn't find a way playing movies from galaxy onto xbox360, how do i change the xbox to be in a media center mode?

Can I use PLEX outside of local network?

Its configured using my internal IP, is it possible to somehow use it on my tablet, from like work or something using an external IP?

Yes, link the server with your myPlex account and log into another Plex client with your credentials.

Will it work outside a network? Yes, if you configure things right, but Plex sucks.

Nope, maybe your desktop computer isn't powerful enough for live transcodes, what bitrate are you using? Try lowering it.

If you're on the local network the speed of your Internets is irrelevant. Internet speed (specifically upstream capability of your Internet in combination with the download stream available to the Prime) only matters when you're on a remote network.
In Qloud you can set the global bitrate settings for different types of connections. I find Qloud sometimes doens't pick up the right value, but that's ok since you get a chance to also set it before you play a video too. Here's a video of me doing it (please excuse the crappy video recording quality of the phone I used to record this).

Cannot stream from nbc.com

Can you guys stream any nbc.com full episodes? I used to be able to. What format do they use now cause my brothers new ipad can stream. I wonder how many other sites are gonna go this route. I'd hate for this to happen as this is one reason I went with the prime.

Using Overskreen browser works fine. Opera mobile doesn't seem to work. So more then likely a browser issue.

What about your stock browser or ice+? I cant get neither to work.
Funny, I figured stock browser using request desktop site settings would work but I just tried it and no go, which is unusual. Even HBOGO works that way. Also tried Firefox and same thing on nbc. Not available for device.
I tried it on the Boat browser. The stream plays with sound and audio when the show starts then 15 seconds into it the video stops but the sound continues. If I switch screen size then I get video again for another 15 seconds. It is like they are injecting something into the stream that is messing everything up.
From what my brother tells me nbc.com uses quicktime on the iPad or quicktime can interpret the video or something to that effect.
Just for grins I checked abc and cbs and they both play just fine. I have User Agent set to desktop.
works also on Dolphin HD but does not on stock browser. Says "It's not currently available for this device."

That's interesting I didn't think it would work on dolphin and not stock. I'll give it a try

[Q] Is there a ROM for the prime that doesn't reboot while streaming video

So I'm trying to find a ROM that doesn't reboot every time I watch YouTube/Netflix (apps) or stream video from my server.... So far I haven't found one, has anyone had luck with this yet?
The only way I can watch a movie on my tablet is to put it on my SDCard.....

How does it fair with YouTube and Netflix streaming? And which video player did you hook up, MX?

Streaming video doesn't crash on CyanogenMod, or at least, it hasn't happened to me. I haven't used them for a couple of months, but I don't remember AOKP or gummy crashing on streaming video.

Youtube buffering

I get 25 down at my house and in my room i have one of those apple wifi extender things that plugs into a wall outlet. For some reason when connected to the wifi extender i get only 6 down. This should still be enough for HD youtube since i can still play HD netflix through it however video costantly stops and starts. Has any one else expeienced this? Is there a certain download speed needed for youtube?

i believe thats because using the browser to load youtube disables HD
if you turn HD off via the app it'll load better..... but buffering just suck on the prime... sadly enough =[
