Just moved into a new apartment and won't be able to get my PC set up any time soon. So I was wondering if there's any ways to watch GB content on a ps4, ps3, or Wii U? Got them hooked up to my TV. I got my girlfriends laptop I can use some times to stream from, but it's not always free.
Watch GB on consoles?
PS3 YouTube app to watch Giant Bomb channel, I think this still works in the PS3 browser http://gbps3.muzene.com/, and I think you can watch videos in the PS4 browser as well.
Directly on consoles... I don't think its possible without the Plex channel on a media server, plus thats for Xbox One only. I think your best bet would be to pick up a Chromecast and cast from either your girlfriend's laptop or the "Video Buddy" app which supports Chromecast.
Chromecast: Amazon
Video Buddy: Google App Store and Apple App Store
Not applicable to you, it sounds like, but the Giant Bomb website runs perfectly well on the Xbox One's Internet Explorer app. This includes video content (not sure whether audio-only content works). I commonly have my Xbox pipe Giant Bomb content to my television whenever I'm cleaning the living room or just not in the mood to sit and actively play something. No experience with it, but I'd first try something like the PS4's Browser app. If it doesn't support Flash, you can still watch non-subscriber content on Giant Bomb's Youtube page, or on a console's respective Youtube app.
Yeah easier solutions would be nice, especially for subscriber content on PS4.
At this point I just mirror my iPod/iPad with the amazing Video Buddy to the Apple TV, effectively a "Giant Bomb on TV Device" the last few years.
I use PS4 almost exclusively; the web browser works just fine, as long as no other applications are running.
@ethanielrain: You don't run into a flash player issue?
@nightriff: I use the PS4 bowser fine, but I have to be logged in for it to work, only thing I cannot play is the podcasts.
Great news if the PS4 browser is finally working right. Videos never played right on that thing, for me and others, from day one.
@ethanielrain: You don't run into a flash player issue?
Only if I'm not logged in to the GB site, for some reason.
I have watched some stuff on Youtube but occasionally Youtube's quality just doesn't do it justice. I was watching a somewhat recent QL and the framerate was TERRIBLE. 15 FPS or there about. I switched over to my PC and watched the video on the site and it was buttery smooth.
I did just recently get a Chromecast do I'll try and find a way to stream it on that, through Youtube I guess?, and hopefully that's better.
I've tried to play GB videos on PS4 through the web browser and they always had desyncronized audio. Internet Explorer on Xbox One works fine though.
I watch straight from the browser on ps4. Just login so it plays in html5. Can't watch live stuff on ps4 though.
@trafalgarlaw: I'm curious, why is that? I bought this nexus 7 so I could watch gb live streams and videos in bed, but this android video player is trash. Is there anyway to download a new one?
