Help Nexus 7 live streaming

[Sandlapper]

What do you need to do (app?) to get live streaming to work on a Nexus 7?

Depends what you want to do???

I have Netflix, Sky Go, Film On, TV Catch Up... All streaming different things.

View live streaming from a web site.

TV Portal in conjunction with the MX Player works very well - no stuttering - I guess because of the hardware acceleration by the MX Player. Watch the video on the Playstore's TV Portal page for details.

That works great for movies and old tv shows, but I would like to view live events on web sites of my choice. Don't seem to be able to do that. Am I missing something?

Any specific websites? They might not be optimised for mobile browsers.

All I know is that they work on my ipad2 and iPhone, but not my wife's Nexus 7.

Which ones? The BBC for instance has bad support for Android but is slowly improving. But if it's a standard video stream and works on iPad, it's most likely html5 and should work on android just as well. You can try downloading mx player as suggested above, it handles streaming quite well in my experience.

If you let us know the sites, we can mess about with settings etc, we may be able to get them to work.

Brilliant, thanks.

Just tried the live streaming passion one, using Boat Browser and Flash Plugin enabled. The page loads, I can start to play the video, but it buffers for an age and the loading circle never disappears. What does it do for you?

Error can't load vide

They may not be streaming at this time

You are welcome.

Fair comment. What browser are you using? Have you tried it with Boat Browser?

Also, just in case Flash is needed, this will guide you through the install Process for Flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

And this will tell you how to activate flash in Boat: http://androidforums.com/nexus-7/670613-crisis-flash-player.html#post5385589

It sounds like I'm getting further than you, so you might want to give my setup a go, see if that makes a difference.

I can run my German news which is this website (on the PC) - but they have their own app for Android. Maybe you should scout whether there is an app for your channel - BBC has a couple.

Hi queen1, could you expand a little, what model phone do you have, what are you trying to stream etc?

Let me know & I'll get your posts moved to the correct forum where hopefully users of the device will be able to assist.
