You Guys HAVE To See This

So....this is basically UPNP through a web page?

Are those videos local on your phone or streaming?
 
That is pretty cool. Fast and easy. It looks like your phone is the controller of what you see at their website. So, the site itself is getting the input from the phone. It's not local on the phone, it's the one half of the application, with the other (viewer) on the PC.
 
I believe the 'kick ass' part that Steve was referring to was the [H] on the guys screen at the beginning of the video...At least I hope so. Otherwise the app seemed fairly mundane. Neat, but not something I would have much of a use for.
 
ah so it is kind of like push to phone but backwards.

the web page will keep loading an ajax for new directions.

the phone will send what to do to the site that than gives your browser the new ajax on what to do.

What have you been doing with XBMC for awhile?

I use XBMC too and I had no idea you could walk up to a smart TV or PC....point your phone at it and stream your movies from the phone to the TV / PC instantly. :confused:


So where are all these apps that already do this besides Tubemote?

Ok I just tried out the app and I stand corrected. What I have been doing is controlling XBMC with my phone. This is unique in that it needs no software. It is actually kind of neat I will admit.

Why is observing something neat a begrudging act? :confused:

Whew!

You had me freaked out there for a second, especialy since Lazy_Moron chimed in with "same." I thought I fell out of the XBMC loop for a minute :)
 
This is actually way cooler than i thought it would be. I just used this from my android phone to control someone's Mac browser here at work. They were impressed and so was i. :)
 
App didn't show up in the Android Market for me. Is there a manual download?
 
time to push the website and start randomly setting peoples computers to the safety dance
 
Couldn't figure out what this was interesting until I actually followed the instructions to see what it does.
 
I already use a thing like this. it's called UnifiedRemote. It can go over Wifi or internet. And it has remotes for almost every media app including task manager and power controls for the computer.

LOL

that WAS steve
 
Hmm, I assume its control of a web page using your phone app?

Then the OCR code in the beginning is probably randomly generated and tells the app what id the device is hooked to. Its an interesting concept and probably something that streaming sites will incorporate into their offerings fairly quick.
 
Uh, so like I can use my smart phone to control my PC that I'm already sitting at right now anyways...hmm.
 
I think the video was a little short on explaining what exactly this does different than say, airplay mirroring?
 
Ok, so basically its a $500 wireless mouse. right?
Can't I just use my $10 wired mouse to go to a webpage and click on a video as well?
 
It allows you to stream media on your phone/tablet to a web browser on a computer.
 
This could be quite handy for playing practical jokes on people. Scan the code then wander off, when someone else starts using the computer (having hopefully left the browser open) play a video.

Also this software is cool. Yes there are other devices, but what happens if you go to a friends house and hook up a laptop to their big screen but no wireless mouse, now no getting up often to play more vids.

Close, but not just a computer, a web browser ANYWHERE. This includes computers, other phones, consoles/handhelds that can handle it, and your "smart" tv with built in browser.

Also, not from your phone or tablet, but from youtube. Possibly in the future, as I didn't do any looking around at where they want to go with the app, but for now just youtube.

Or, that's what I understand from messing with it. Obviously it wouldn't help much with your computer and another phone (with the current youtube-only control), but I could see the others being pretty cool.
 
This has amazing applications for school use.

Teacher puts the clikthis.com site on overhead projector, and students with smartphones can play videos for the rest of the class on the topic learned...with no software setup.

Why not just go to youtube via your smartTV app? I don't get it.
 
I will try this when I get home.

In the same lines I am going t soon outline some apps that I don't know why no one, including google doesn't seem to want to make. i will let you guys know about it. If I had programming skills I'd make them.
 
I think the haters don't really understand what makes this great. You can play youtube videos on ANY computer without syncing your phone, installing software on the computer whether it be windows,osx or linux. The beauty is in the simplicity :)
 
that's pretty sweet. It reminds me of AirPlay, but instead of a TV you're just using the browser. I like it.
 
It will definitely be interesting to see what they expand this to in the near future. It definitely has some possibilities.
 
I can think of a few times I could use this. Sync up with your PC or HTPC and go sit in your chair and browse through music videos without getting up.

I wonder if there's a time-out period between clicking bar codes on clikthis.com or if it's a click once and as long as clikthis.com and Clik is running, you're always connected.

Some improvements I hope they'll implement: signing into your Google account and letting you pull up your YouTube playlist, and perhaps syncing other streaming sites like Vimeo and Onion News Network.

I'm sure some of you guys are also thinking of streaming porn as well ;-)
