Default OrbLive - Streams Audio, Video, TV...

I just got through installing OrbLive. It's absolutely awesome. Now I can stream all of my music AND movies from my computer directly to my iPhone. It's simple to install and works really good.

There's a video of it on youtube....

Yeah, I'm still checking it out. It's a lot like the Simplify Media program except you can stream video, and TV too. So far I've got 870 songs and 12 full length movies able to stream from my laptop directly to my iPhone via wifi. I haven't checked to see if it will work over Edge yet.

I've used this service for a while now, and it works quite nicely with the iPhone. Last time I tried though, I couldn't get it to convert videos properly. Basically they only worked if they were mp4's natively.

I remember how impressed folks were when I used to use Orb to stream youtube clips to my old phone. How times change.

It's not bad for songs if you don't mind waiting for a buffer. Videos are pretty painful, though.

You mean this has been out for a while? How come it came up in the Recent Packages section on Installer today? I've never seen it in Installer before.

Oh wow, I didnt' realize we were talking about an app here. I've always used it via the web interface. I'll have to check this out, thanks.

Sorry, I guess I didn't state it in my first post. It's a new app in Installer. When I found the video on YouTube I noticed it was only a few hours old. I'm assuming this app was just released today.

Thanks, it works great! Even for videos. It seems if your desktop can play it, Orb can now convert it for streaming to the iPhone. It's really fast on Wifi, too! Very impressed.

Keep in mind this is a free streaming service. And I never used this particular service before, but apparently you can set it up with your cable box/video capture card to stream your catv as well. Very slick interface with this new app... check it out folks!

WOW! I just turned off Wifi and tried some streaming over Edge. Let me say, I'm extremely impressed. Maybe it's just a good Edge night for me, but I'm here in my basement streaming stuff within about 10 seconds of selecting it with no hiccups. How do they do that??

You need a fast computer with a fast upload to really take advantage, but short of the lack of fast forward on videos, they freakin' nailed this inteface!

(also, volume doesn't seem to work for videos)

Everyone needs to check this one out. Great find, GADeputy
