Title: Television on android
Post by: tonse on May 07, 2011, 03:49:48 am

I read a lot about video streaming to an android being possible now. Does this als mean that it's possible to watch a television program on my android using Gizmo

It is.  You need the latest builds of both Gizmo and MC.

Conversion for streaming to the Android can take a long time but it is cached so the second time it's faster.  We've also begun working on pre-converting video.  There is an option to do this buried somewhere.  See JohnT's post from about a week ago for details.  This will be improved in the future.

Significant CPU power is required.
