Sharks Jersey =D. Now that's a winner all the way from RSA =D
Can we have the mute and pause buttons back?
Hi guys,
I'll stay home on voting day and let everyone else decide whether or not Mark returns. As for the Ninja cat wallpapers, my favorite is the one of the T-Rex with prosthetics.
Can the Channel 9 app actually work offline? The Podcast app can.
I wonder if the Channel 9 app will ever make it to KODI (XBMC) ...
Oh Canada!!
@John Visio MVP: the mobile apps work offline so you can view from the plane or traveling...
@Arne:what - on the embedded video player on the page? You want to MUTE us? Geeze....
@RicksterCDN Are you sure? There is some content that is cached, but turning off WiFi gets "The video failed to play" when trying to run a video on a phone without a SIM.
The Podcasts app works fine with no WiFi, but it shows downloading messages when new podcasts arrive, The Channel 9 app does not so I think it still needs internet to run the shows.
Of course, I am just a dev. ;-)
