Viewing webcasts on an iPad

Post by Rudi »

Hi all,

Is there an APP available that allows one to view webcasts from sites on the internet? I have looked at INXPO, Virtual Events and Ustream, but these seem to allow viewing webcasts only specific to their site or community. I need a universal app for viewing webcasts for any site.

Any ideas
TX
Regards,
Rudi

Have you tried iSwifter? Although it's sold as a games browser, it may provide access to other Flash content too.
Best wishes,

Since different sites hosts webcasts in different formats, I don't see how you could have a single application that would allow you to view any of them.

Do you know what format the webcasts that you want to watch are in?

The current site is prompting me to ensure that Windows Media Player is installed. The do not show the format of the webcasts?

If you view the webcast on a Windows PC, you may be able to find out what format they use. But since they mention Windows Media Player, it might well be a Windows only format.

I use Oplayer on my Ipad. It seems to work with pretty much anything
