Re: orb type programs...

How has orb never worked for you? Have you tried Kinoma Free Play?

Re: orb type programs...

How is the free version? Any radio or neat options? Or just a straight player?

It's pretty darn impressive. The Orb client is one of the most powerful things, it only lacks live TV via Orb. Tons and tons of radio and other streaming audio, however to play certain media types (wma), you need the paid version.

Re: orb type programs...

Kinoma is a pretty cool program. It comes bundled with a list of tons of internet radio stations, web cam feeds and even has a GUI for Orb.

Only thing I didnt like was the automatic file association on my device. I correct this by using Resco explorer to restore the proper/prefered association.

Its definitely worth a try...espescially since there is a free version available.

Re: orb type programs...

If you have Windows Media Center on your PC, look up Webguide. Its awesome.

Even if you don't have Windows Media Center, I think it can still do Videos, Music, and Pics. If you do have media center, it can do live and recorded TV as well.

Been using Orb for years, but had issues lately and reinstalled, now there is a problem discussed on their forums and you cannot setup ORB for TV streaming because it won't populate a list of TV providers, therefore will not complete setup.

I used Webguide before(years ago) and had it working fine. I am now using an XP HTPC and tried Webguide, but cannot access it from the internet, only on my local network. The ports are all setup properly on my D-link di-524 during webguide install, but I still cannot access from the internet using XX.XX.XX.XX:3260(or whatever port it is set to in config.
Anyone get webguide working recently, not much help on their forums??

I guess I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but ORB been working perfect for me, I can stream live tv, and I get the guide telling me what's on....

The biggest issue I have is windows media player is giving me really poor playback, audio is ok, picture studders and lags....

Oh yeah their forums are pretty worthless
