@Toro510: WMVB dev here. Give this link a try: https://sites.google.com/site/whiskeymediavideobuddy/Whiskey%20Media%20Video%20Buddy.apk

As far as I know it should work just fine on a Kindle Fire, but if you run into any trouble please let me know.

@louiedog: Unfortunately, I don't have a rooted device at my disposal so I don't know that there's a whole lot more I can do to assist in debugging.

@louiedog: That's definitely odd. It's all just using HTTP, so good ol' port 80 is all you should need. You're also right that downloading and streaming both point at the same URL. I'm not sure what's out there in terms of Android network sniffers, but you could try installing one and seeing if there's any difference in the request and response when trying to stream with WMVB and when doing something that works (downloading, streaming through another app, etc).

@louiedog: Strange. I haven't made any changes to the Android app lately and, as far as I know, the Giant Bomb servers haven't changed either. That would seem to implicate something on your device. My first guess would have been a codec issue, but since you're able to play downloaded files that doesn't seem like it could be the case.

The "Your device may not be capable of playing this file. Please try selecting a lower quality" message gets shown whenever the video player stops playback and reports an error. Up until now I've only seen that happen when an older device is trying to play HD content. I know this is terribly vague, but it seems like some change is preventing the video player from correctly communicating with the Giant Bomb servers. You might want to try undoing some of the changes--particularly ones related to video or networking--and see if anything restores streaming.

If you get things up and running again I'd definitely be interested in hearing what the cause was.

@ABritishNerd: Looks like I was able to beat my target of "a few weeks." Version 1.0.2 is out now and includes support for the iPhone 5's larger screen.

@Snail: I'm afraid I don't have any plans for a Windows Phone version at this time.

@ABritishNerd: iPhone 5 support is definitely on my radar, but I've been swamped with other work lately. From what I've seen it should be an easy fix and I think I'll have some time to look at it later this week, but it'll still need to make its way through the App Store approval process. Bottom line, I'm hoping to have something out within a few weeks.

@BlackLagoon: I think I've already got you covered. If you head into the app's settings (menu-button > Settings from the main screen) and turn on Force Landscape videos will play in landscape mode regardless of device orientation.

@MB: Thanks for the endorsement!

@Ley_Lines: Thank you, too.
