Can you browse any web site on this? My wife wants to see streaming videos on Daily Motion and FC 2 and Youtube.

We were not able to. It was app driven and we could not just get n the internet and go to websites.

I never got very good speed with this. I purchased it for streaming and it was awful for that. I ended up with a Roku which I like a lot. It does not surf all web sites.

It really isn't what this device is designed to do. I'm not saying it can't be done--there are people who have modified this device to run Apache web servers and SQL databases. I know it can do some streaming of previously recorded material, but it isn't why I bought the device and I haven't tried it.

I don't know for sure, but since the product has not been supported since December 2013, I doubt there is one. I still use mine, but I can't email the videos like I could in the past.

Yes, my daughter has watched videos on hers. I'm not sure where they came from as I believe I haven't downloaded netflix. But we do have youtube and that works fine.

Not with kdlinks a100. There seems to be an issue with the DRM. I tried and it will give an error. Have you tried/looked into Google Chromecast. That will stream Playstore, Netflix, Youtube, and Hulu.

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

As long as your network infrastructure can support the bandwidth I don't see why you can't get away video streaming. Check with them if it is critical project requirement.

Well, I can tell you that Amazon's Unbox videos do not play on my Clix. Pity. I'll probably not use their service because of this. Videos for the Clix is still pretty much a DIY affair. You have to encode videos to a non-standard and very specific format. I haven't found any commercial videos that you can simply download and load, nor a service where you could easily upload, get conversion and download. I don't bittorrent nor pirate. As far as looking better than youtube videos, that's really an artifact of how the videos are prepared. I've converted home video taken at 480p (standard DVD resolution) and they look surprisingly good. Probably due to the Clix's good resolution for the screen size and the glossy screen. You know how good the resolution can be by the small size of the menu texts that are still legible and by quality of still photos. That said, the 15fps does hurt it some. In this respect you may find it looks like much of what is uploaded to YouTube by webcams. If you're looking to watch video content extensively, a media player with a bigger screen is probably for you. To show off a video clip of your kid's birthay party or little league home run, it is great. I put some in-car video from a race track experience on my Clix and was able to impress many I showed it to. They didn't seem put off by the small size. Being able to fit it in your pocket is a plus. All that said, my RAZR phone does nearly everything the Clix does, so I'm using it less.

yes i can stream 2 of these to zoneminder on amazon vpc with a m3.medium.... and you need at least 4+Mbps upload, but if so, i can get 30fps... need to reduce monitor resolution, or up aws instance type to see it, so that can be expensive

Not sure on quality of streaming sites and types of sports. Might be an app around. Supplement it with basic cable.

I am still learning and I did not set mine up for that but you can view these in a number of ways with lots of different software. I am using ISPY freeware and you can specify a youtube channel I think from there. also works with VLC media player. just set up the ip and pull it up. also Airvision comes with it for monitoring as well.

Yes you can visit YouTube and Netflix and other streaming sites. It also Opera installed which can be used to browse the net. However I don't know about the keyboard as I haven't installed one. But this is a great tv.

Yes, I was able to connect to You Tube and watch something. I had to sign up for Netflix and I got that far, but didn't want to set up for the trial month. So that's all I can say about that. It does not have flash - so if there's anything you need that uses flash, it won't play (some of the stuff I might want to watch off of Facebook won't play).....I love it for sitting and playing games while watching TV. It's faster than the 2x2 that I had before. Hope this helps.

You are welcome. Do me (us) a favor and let me know which one you decide to keep and why. If the next firmware revision or two does not fix the video streaming, then I will probably add one of those two just for Hulu. You could save me the hassle of buying both, comparing, and returning one :)

I am not sure that you can. There are some streaming sites that are only set up for computer use, and maybe not for this player. The "channels" that you can get are already preprogramed on it, like Amazon Prime, Netflix and Vudu, along with many others. I would check on the Sony site for questions and their trouble shooting knowledge base for this player. I would also check the website that you are trying to stream and see if they have any information on if what you can stream it on.

All I can say, B.R., is that ours is streaming beautifully via our home WiFi network so, I don't see why not.Via USB stick...it plays .mp4s perfectly. I haven't tried any of the other formats.The wife and I are very happy with it. :-)

A browser would put me over the top as well since my htpc is currently used to access international tv and news websites for my expat wife. seems i will need two things until one compnay can give me everything, streaming media from net storage, web browser for media and basic email(i.e. hotmail), streaming media from hulu(at least), strong support from the manuf or community to add apps and new functionality.
