Mine rotates just by tilting it. I am using the sprint stock rom. Maybe it has something to do with the version of Kinoma.

Woo hoo...my first post here!

This has been driving me crazy too. I went from a Centro that could stream Orb well over the CDMA network (non-EVDO and no wifi) to a sloppy/choppy stream with my Touch Pro over wifi.

I FINALLY found a solution after rolling through various streaming programs. The problem was Opera. When I launch Orb from Internet Explorer and use TCPMP it is finally streaming perfectly.

Hope that helps you out.

What setting in TCPMP are you using? Cause I've tried various times to get TCPMP to work with Orb and I had failed misserably

I like kinoma, but the only gripe I have with the Orb feature in that app, is that it doesn't give me a direct access to my recorded shows...just "videos". Only the website gives me the option to view all my recorded TV shows, and it's alright with me. I think the low framerate is something I've gotten used to anyways.

I've been using the Kimona Play software for a couple of weeks and love it. It's great being able to stream podcasts, rather than downloading them. I am anxious to try Orb as soon as they offer Mac support.

Its a good program, I just wish it supported Live TV with Orb.

You can log into your Orb server with Kinoma Play via Services > Orb. By using Orb this way, Kinoma Play and your Orb server will dynamically adjust the stream quality in realtime to provide the best-possible experience as the quality of your data connection fluctuates.

Kinoma FreePlay support is nearly the same as Kinoma Play's. Kinoma Play supports more advanced codecs that can provide the same quality at lower bitrates, so it can perform better under challenging network conditions.

Oh my, what a great program. I just downloaded it. I'm in love.

It's so good that even though the free version works very well for my needs I am considering purchasing it just to support your work.

omfg!!!! this progam is like the best thing since sliced bread.... I love it... would never have known about it till that guy who suports it mentioned what it does!!! now.. if they can just get a button to turn it on its side.. instead of having to use gyrator.. it looks like this will take the place of tcmp/the core/pocket music.. still testing it out.. I like pocket music but this is quickly becoming a standard.... the premium version has more options.. but the free version has no strings attached.. worked beautifuly and solved all the ishues.. complaints.. annoyances of using orb... its fast.. it works.. and it just blows my mind... I wish I had learned of this program sooner.. definatly a must try out peice of software... and the second best part... it plays my audible audio books with out having to download them.. (defeats the purpose of having pocket music) and streams them off the server.. havent had the chance to see if it will play my allready downloaded content. (goes to test) YES.. it will play audible files allready dloaded.. .. its finger friendly.. havent had the chance to try my bt headphones out on it.. (misplaced them and now cant find them) but if any one has tried them.. let me know... I dont recomend programs all that often.. but my gods... this one is a must play with.. if you like it..great.. if not.. there are other apps out there..

I like the program streaming orb but is there a way to change the file associations with it? Rather only play videos on it. I couldn't find anywhere to change it on the program.

No, unfortunately there isn't. They have stubbornly refused to remedy this despite repeated requests from users for a solution....

When you install KP (I have the paid version) it immediately highjacks ALL your file associations. That alone is bad enough, but to add insult to injury it does it without even asking permission....(unless that's been corrected in a version that I was not notified about)

After installing KP in my TouchPro, the next step I took was to open Resco Explorer & reset the file associations the way I wanted them......

I tried Orb using Opera Mobile and it didn't stream as well for some reason, but using PIE was really smooth.

I was able to stream live TV, tonight's episode of Family Guy, and an MP3 playlist without any hiccups. My default browser is Opera, so I'll just set my PIE home page to mycast.orb.com and I can use it as my "Orb App"

Also, as a test, I was able to run Music ID in the background while streaming with orb and it identified the song that was playing.

That's just sickening right there...
