Mac Tablet!!! ~ iPad Thread

[thelot]

I just got an iPad 4 for Christmas. Not sure if it's been covered in this thread yet, but I'm looking to broadcast flacs from my WD MyLiveDuo hard drive. I d/l the Wd2go app to link to my hard drive. Now I'm looking for a vlc player app to play flacs. Has anyone done this? What vlc player would you recommend?

Apple this morning announced a 128 GB version of the fourth generation iPad – twice the storage of the highest capacity previous version. The new high-capacity iPad goes on sale February 5, in both black and white. The device will be priced at $799 for WiFi only, or $929 for a version that includes both WiFi and cellular network access.

It's too bad the actual VLC app disappeared from the App Store.  I still have it, but it's too bad.

App Store too huh.  This seems to be on VLC's end, as the app isn't available to customers in Canada and the USA for Android either. 

So the VLC app used to be available in the App Store? 

[mattstick]

Yes.  I have it on my iPhone and iPad still.

Also handy for playing back ripped FLV webcasts etc.

Is there an iOS app that can be used at sites that require Adobe Flash player?

[mattstick]

Skyfire, but I've never tried it.

thanks - I'll let you know

I've used skyfire.  It will analyze a page for video. If there is flash video that the iPad won't play, it basically uses their server to play it and feed it to you in a streaming format. You can watch the video but you cannot slide a slider back and forth to ff or rewind like you can with any other video format. It's annoying, so I very rarely use it.

thanks
in that case, maybe I won't try it

Is anyone having problems connecting to the iTunes store this AM? Can't connect at all through the computer, and on the iPad can get into the store but can't search  :|  :?

I'm just now reading through these last few pages. So does the VLC app allow you to play FLAC files on your phone?
