After that it will always be available. In my case, the Flow is named gad-rev-flow. Clicking on Settings lets you revisit some of the settings choices from the Wizard, but also adds settings relevant to the Client itself — the first being the quality of the video:.
With a fast home network, there is no downside to setting things to their maximum. You can dial down the bitrates, as well as select a smaller video resolution to significantly slim down the resulting stream, if you experience excessive buffering. Anyway, hit the record button in the Live view, and this pops up:. You can revisit your recordings from inside the Client. I also was able to play them using VLC media player, and the native app on the iPhone. The recorded file above plays correctly via the Vulkano clients, and using VLC media player.
You may experience audio sync issues if you try to play it in your browser or via QuickTime. This will work. Want to pause it while you haul something down to the curb? Yep, it can do that. In either case, the EPG and virtual remote give you full control over the video source from wherever you are. Tapping Live TV starts streaming whatever the set top box is tuned to. There is a floating overlay that will disappear after a few seconds providing controls and information about the streaming bitrate:.
Tap Guide to get the mobile version of the EPG. The Flow does a reasonable job trying to present all that guide data in a usable form on a mobile client:. The remote works exactly as you would expect:. This was remote from my house, but I was on WiFi, to give the Flow the best downstream possible. Recall my Home Internet is limited to 2Mbit upload speeds. So, this is the Normal setting:. The shot below is a zoom of the lower left corner showing the loss of detail. At that bitrate, you will use roughly MB per hour of streaming.
Next I stepped up to Medium:. A significant improvement in the clarity again, detail of lower left corner below at a significant cost. However, the quality for viewing this is quite acceptable, if you can get WiFi. Finally, I went for the High quality:. Not too much more bandwidth added, and pretty much a toss-up quality-wise compared to Medium. It looks a tiny bit clearer, especially in the very fine details such as the light gray text above the stock crawlers.
You can also see the gradient drop shadow above the crawler is a bit smoother vs. On cellular data this will eat your 2GB allowance for lunch 0. On a fast WiFi connection, I had smooth playback at all three speeds for either the Mobile client or on a Macbook Pro.
Using the EPG or the virtual remote to change channels was a little laggy, but succeeded every time. I found the Flow to be easy to set up, and easy to use. John could you comment on the differences between the Flow and the Vulkano Platinum from what you have seen so far?
Specifically: 1 are there technical specs that are in the included manual differ from what is listed officially for the Platinum? The streaming performance is identical to the Platinum, as far as I can tell. Supposedly imminent — according the the contact I was working with for the pre-release support during the review. While most users have access to the port forward settings on their home router, few [if any?
I have no problem accessing my Slingbox from work, since I can set the Slingbox to use a known open port on our firewall — but the Hava I bought remains unusable. Monsoon Multimedia still gives of the vibe of a fly-by-night organization though — they sent out a press release today to announce the Flow, but neither the Flow nor the PR are on their site currently.
The PR says it is available at myvulkano. I just got in the mail yesterday a Vulkano with GB drive. I tried recording a few things with it and when trying to play back any of it I get a network error. Its not ready for prime time. Thanks for the review Dave. However, I am eager to try one out very soon. I did have the Solo hooked up to an Airport Express just for around the house.
Then I extended it to the wireless, big mistake. Wired to the current Airport Extreme has made it work without a bad viewing experience. And as a Mac user, the Vulkano stuff has been just been crap to me. Also, the AV takes in i whereas the Flow takes in p and higher via component — so in theory the quality should be better. But on a 3. Also, unlike the AV this has more inputs.
The bottom line is that you seem to be happy with your existing solution, so I agree no reason to contemplate a move. On the Sling side, I do agree with Mark that their web player is a nice offering. I hope Monsoon is working on similar. The vulkano is very comparable to my previous-generation slingbox from Computer CD-Players.
