First thing first. This is a great start maddox. The picture quality of streaming video is great and the interface is simple and clean. i watched tv on my ipad mini today for an hour while working out. I think wallop has great potential and I hope you are working on it. I had few suggestions which i wanted to pass it along.

1. The interface is simple but buggy. When i select a channel, it goes to tuning to preparing streaming to back to tuning to streaming is ready to play and sometimes that text keeps going on for pages. I don't think the text is beneficial for users, i would just show the icon of loading until the streaming starts.

2. Once the streaming starts on mobile devices, it would be cool to make the video full screen automatically.

3. The streaming takes a good 15-20 seconds to starts. I have a 6 core mac pro, gigabit ethernet. I'm not sure if this happens with other and if there is something could be done to improve the performance + start the streaming faster.

I have lot of other ideas but i'll hold on for now :)
thanks again for working on wallops.

This is a bug, its not intentional.

This actually is the behavior on an iPhone. On an iPad the default is to play in place. I don't think theres even a capability to make it go full screen.

On Android devices, I have no clue. I've never touched one.

You are right in iphone, the video goes full screen. On iPad, you mean full screen is not an option programmatically, right? cos i can click on the expand icon on the right bottom corner to make the video fullscreen.

I also dont own any androids & droids so i have no clue either.
