pdf viewing suggestion

I wonder if using the existing framework in google docs might be a
possibility. I understand that we're not able to download pdfs on GTV, but

SORRY GOOGLE. This is what we had to do to fix this problem. We simply had
to DISABLE RTMP TUNNELING
"You can also disable tunneling by setting rtmp.tunneling=false."
Who could have thought. Wow, it took us forever to fix this. Amazing. I
guess RTMP Tunneling doesn't do good on Google TV. For all developers, try

But on Sony we could fix the problem. On Lodgitech we can't do anything. In
any case it looks like Google's problem. Google, please look into it. Thank
you. We all depend on Google TV Platform. We did test it and everything did
work. But obviously some changes to Google TV caused these problems. We

Mystery remains. I've asked a user from Atlanta Georgia, to test the
channel that I had an issue with and she had no problems connecting to it
on Logitech, but I'm on Sony Blue Ray. We are both on At&t DSL, but I'm in
San Francisco. So, after all it could be not a problem of Google TV. But,
still such cases need to be researched, because on one box it works, on the

Following stream comes in as a black screen, only audio plays back. It

In November, Adobe announced waaaaaaay too early that they stopped
developing Flash player plugin for Android devices. Google TV is an Android
device. HTML5 is an alternative to Flash player, everyone says, but HTML5
does not support live streaming protocols. There is no way to playback RTMP
in HTML5. What do those who stream in RTMP should do, since flash player

Hi Adam. Looks a little different from what we used to submit our
portal. I don't see a link to submit as well when signed in even. Best
bet probably would be to submit a post into the top topic on the
