Is there any way to get OTA Television from JRiver to my Android Devices?

I have both Gizmo and JRemote and don't see any option on them for either live OTA TV or Shows I have recorded.

Thanks,
Christo

For recorded TV, all you're dealing with is a video file. Is the problem that you don't have a view for Television? You may have to set up a custom view to make this work.

If you've got an MC desktop recording TV, the Gizmo should be able to pick up the resultant video and you'll find the recording in amongst the rest of the video library. I've watched video before on Gizmo, so can vouch for that. Haven't tried JRemote, so can't comment there.

For watching TV live on your Android, I'm not sure how well this would work. Haven't tried. See opening comments above regarding a view. Out of the box, it would appear that Television isn't included as a default.

Found my recorded shows. Just had so many other shows they were buried. Still would love to figure out if live tv viewinf were possible.

I have a playlist of TV Channel (tvlb) files. When using a MC Client on my workstation PC I can display the playlist, double click on a file, or click it and then click the Play button, and Live TV is played on my MC Client.

If I use WebGizmo on the same PC trying to play any of the files in that playlist doesn't work. It just gives me the message "Sorry your browser does not support the media format of the requested file. Click display to proceed." I have to use the back button to get out of that.

I also have a similar view in MC that does the same thing, but I haven't added that to Gizmo so can't test it there. I suspect it would work the same.

I believe that WebGizmo and Gizmo need flash to play videos. I'm using Internet Explorer 11 and have Flash installed.

My conclusion is that WebGizmo and Gizmo won't play live TV, or more correctly that a MC Server won't serve live TV to either, using the standard MC capabilities. I'm pretty sure JRiver has said Gizmo doesn't support live TV previously as well.
