First of all I would like to say that Orblive is the most innovative app that I have seen in the app store....

Saying that why have they shown any interest in making their product better and improve their sales....

Issues:
1) When you get a call while watching something then after the call you will have to start from the beginning..
2) There is a seek bar that never works
3) No pause/stop button
4) Wake up computer from standby or sleep never works

The reason i'm posting this is, I use the app so much and frustrated with the issues and the inability of the orb team to do some updates...

If some has work arounds or similar apps like Orblive that you can suggest, it will be great...

I know there is a slingplayer app and iVid but something close to Orblive is wat I'm looking for... Plus if there is a competitor then I see Orblive making some improvements...

1. An iPhone limitation
2. This only works when it doesnt have to transcode a video I think.
3. Not sure aboout this one
4. This is down to your computer, whether the network is wireless. And if its wired, whether it supports Wake on Lan
 
I bought Orb since day one. And i have to say their support is the worst i have ever seen. I contacted them via email and posted in their forum because of the issues im having with the app they didn’t even bother to reply. Orb is great app if it works. but its really unstable and has lots of issues.
