Happy New Year!

I wan wondering what the fellow tp2 orb users out there were experiencing who run orb. When I play media it open windows media player on the tp2 and when I select full screen I get these black bars around the video and the size doesnt get any bigger. Might there be some setting I over looked or has anyone had any success with another media player? Thanks...

Orb is such garbage. I really wish it had its own app for WinMo and actually worked with my video card. Every time I try and connect, my PC crashes, most likely because they haven't released the Windows 7 drivers for my All in Wonder HD. I cry for the days that MyTinyTV worked.

use a program caled kinoma it has an orb service built in and is freaking amazing....makes orb fun again. Not only that but there are a host of othr services that it streams. Been useing it for over a year and couldn't be happier.

Yeah I'm thinking about that but my first run with Kinoma Play was that it ran shit in the background. I think now I just have to wait for updated drivers for my video card/TV Tuner, whenever that may be.

Orb has been great for me, but after version 2.5 and the puchase of a new phone, not sure what the cause is. Is there a way to use the htc tp2 media player to stream orb as a test? Not sure of the format coming from Orb. I will check out Kinoma, thanks for the tip, does it get the tp2 to play full screen?

So, I was having this exact same problem, but remembered that at first my videos were playing fine. So, I uninstalled At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver, and my videos are now streaming at full-screen again.

Anybody else confirm this is a fix?

I ended up changing the streaming format to one of .3gp formats and it made the viewable area full screen. The picture is a little but choppy but audio is perfect. Still trying to tweak it up, been busy - but playing to a pc is perfect via windows format.
