Sopcast on Android - Official Release [BETA]

[Admin]

Sorry don't understand what you mean? You made one, or should we make one?

[algi]

Sorry...I mean you should make one similar to another existing one which I might point to if wìshed.I consider it very efficient and effective.

[algi]

Just a thought. As far as I know Sopcast channels rely on sufficient upload of the viewers combined. I don't think there are many cell phone networks which have a sufficient upload yet. Wouldn't this cause a problem if you've a lot of mobile viewers for a single channel?

Good point,Chrizzie.I have been checking through and indeed if it's a matter of 3G it would ruine you first and the connections are not good and reliable enough(at least in this country),but wi-fi connected is running very well,helping as peer,and consuming very little "power"(CPU and RAM).It's two hours now since I switched on a GalaxyS2 and has been running flawless since.Great indeed,and it's "only" a beta!

Cheers!

[Admin]

Thanks for all feedback. Sounds great

I guess it's perfect then for those Android Tablets connected with Wifi, but would also do on your phone depending on 3G or wifi.

You will be surprised at how many people dont use or dont know how to use there wi-fi at home or in a hotspot...


Now anyone can goto a library, cafe, bar etc... and use there bandwidth to watch sop streams...

[algi]

On 3G I wouldn't recommend at all,but on wi-fi the result are fine with a great handy option for the screen ratio 4:3,16:9,16:10.Here the last one

It took a couple minutes to buffer, but the stream ran great. The only problem is that you can't control the media volume with your phone's controls. Or at least I can't on my Incredible S.

Edit: Never mind. Volume works.

Volumer++ is even better because is staying in the Status Bar.
Get it from there or download it on PC and load it to your device with Websharing

If you are finding that certain functionality of this Beta software is annoying you, please report it directly to Sopcast.

Personally i'm just glad that they decided to release an android client at all.
