TVersity on Android?

[Guest stevenz]

I'm trying to use my Hero to "stream" video from TVersity, whenever I click on a link it tries to download it (as TVersity won't actually stream video to it), and then fails almost immediately. It works ok from my PC. I'm using videos converted to work on an iPod so the actual media should play fine (.MP4) but for some reason the system downloader doesn't want to work.

If I click on a .mp3 then the Streaming media player kicks in and downloads the file which then plays fine.

Any ideas?

Oh yeah, forgot about those URLs. The iPhone one gets as far as the transcoding screen, the flash one works, but as you say, it's far from smooth, the audio is fine but the video is about 2fps, the painfully slow WiFi on this thing wouldn't help matters.

Changing the user agent in Dolphin to "iPhone" gets it to the right address without needing to append "iphone" to the URL, same end result though, just gets the little "plugin missing" blue lego piece icon.

I'll have a play with the settings later and see how I go.

sweet, good luck! my best was maybe 3 or 4 fps but almost unbearable video quality ;p that was with max compression, and no compensation for bitrate aha
