Mississippi State Premium APP adds live radio streaming

[Vandelaydawg]

Very impressive how quickly they acted to addthis feature. Would certainly love to have M2M video available, but this is a great start. The ability to get baseball broadcast through my Iphone and Ipad while I'm travelingis outstanding. For all the grief they take, this was a nice upgrade.

I signed up for M2M last week and was supposed to get a free IPhone App. Anyone know how I get that App?

 

[msudogsrule01]

Where did they say that? I found no announcement on it.

 

[weblow]

any update on when you will be able to stream over blackberry or droid?

Allowing a sign in page and allowing streaming of just the audio portion is so easy, it should take an IT guy less than an hour to do.

 

[Xenomorph]

Because the info doesn't say anything about radio streams and only offers live updates for football and basketball. Is this a different app?

What will they think of next? Putting live stats on the $5 app? No, that'd be too much. Yeah, I'm sour paying $5 for an app that does absolutely NOTHING that I couldn't get for free surfing on the net. Yeah, I expect to get audio streams of the games and the video when available. What I have found is I paid $5 to get video clips. VIDEO CLIPS!<div>If I didn't have anything else to do, I'm sure I could come up with much more this app should do, but I have a life and don't get paid to do that.</div>

of M2M and it amazes me that they think it is so difficult to stream M2M. French Camp Radio is streamable on a smart phone, give me a damn break.

I don't blame Stricklin because he is just going off what the guys at M2M are telling him but those guys are the laziest tech guys I have ever dealt with.

The apps to stream should be free to M2M subscribers to begin with and streaming should be allowed from any smartphone starting tomorrow, it is really not that damn hard. M2M says that they are working on it and it should be available in the next few months, they could completely redesign M2M in the next month, why does it take months to allow streaming, it is simple to do.

I'm not sure what other schools have audio and video capable apps through mobile devices, but I'm not aware of any. I would ask for you to enlighten us on theinsand outs of all those institutions, butwouldn't want to disturb one of our elite with such valuable and limited time. I can't imagine how muchmore you have to do than the rest ofus out here without a life. And speaking of life, mine is one thatappreciatesthe fact that a Bulldog baseball live audio stream through my phone cost me $5 for a LIFETIME!There are numerous times I would have paid $5 for a singlebroadcast, or 5x that for that matter. I won't go into all the less valuable things that cost more thana green Lincoln, not because I don't have the time or need a life...but becauseyou clearly arenot worth the effort. Try not to let that next wasted five dollars cross your mind tomorrow when you realize how ridiculous your rant was. Good luck getting your live stats this weekend, I'll be enjoying the game inperson.

assuming you work for M2M. I never said I was an "elite", just that I have a life. Never said you didn't. Can't imagine why you took my complaints so personally. My point was that I can't even get the STATS on the damn app. My complaint was/is that I paid $5 for a "premium" app that provides: 1)news, 2)videos that aren't live, 3)schedules, and...well there isn't anything else. All of that is stuff I could look up on my freakin' iPhone free-of-charge, but I got duped into thinking that the $5 PREMIUM app was somehow going to provide something cool.<div>NOW it finally provides SOMETHING worth the $5. I've paid for M2M and now there's a nice alternative to being stationary on the compooter.</div><div>Hope you were able to get it all of your system with YOUR ridiculous rant. Oh, enjoy the games.</div>

 

[NashvilleBulldawg]

but I get wrapped up in other things and forget to do it. I did get an email off to them way back before the app suggesting such an app, but they responded saying that had one in the works. Needless to say, it has been a big disappointment UP UNTIL NOW. I can't wait until I can use the radio feature because the stats sure haven't been working for me. Oh well.

 

[8dog]

I have searched and cannot find it.

 

[Special K.sixpack]

I am glad I finished the whole thread cuz I almost bought the app before finishing from pure excitement to get baseball updates, but <17> that, I will just use yahoo...

Dude, most of the guys in the CS Department at State could have something quicker than the school has offered. His rant was very valid. Yours on the other hand just sounds like someone trying to defend their work.

 

[weblow]

It would take someone in the CS department a few hours to simply make a mobile log in page and have a streaming player that could be played on any smart phone.

M2M told me they had been working on the iphone app to allow streaming or months and that it would be several more months before they could develop an app for the blackberry and droid.

They don't have to have an app to allow you to log in and stream the audio of games, it is really simple.

That is what bothers me about this entire thing, seems like someone is trying to justify their position by making it sound very difficult and it is just not that hard.

As I have said, if French Camp Radio can figure it out, surely M2M could partner with the CS department and have it taken care of before the weekend. It will never happen and that is what pisses me off.

I am very new, 4 days, on twitter and I signed up to get baseball updates.

Someone on here gave me the name of the guy to follow and it is perfect. I get updates at least every half inning during the game and they include, hits, runs, pitching changes...........

Perfect for having to be away from the computer and keeping up with the games.

I am sure there are other uses for Twitter but I am not aware of them, just using it for baseball games.

Having a B.S. in Computer Science from State myself, I know it's possible to do this fairly quickly if given the right permissions. There's not much money to be had in doing it this way, however, so I don't see the University taking this route.

 

[weblow]

So you would think this would be a fairly common service that was included with the subscription.

I have no problem paying for the app to play it, I just don't have an iphone, I use a blackberry.

I would not even care if they allowed it to stream until they had the apps developed for all the phones and then took down the stream and required you to buy the app.

This is what Sirius Satellite Radio did, the first few years you were allowed to stream their stations over your computer. Once they built up a customer base, they started charging money for online streaming. Following this same model, they created apps but the apps were free but required a monthly subscription to listen over the app.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem paying for the app, but to not allow streaming on a smart phone because your M2M staff sucks at technology and takes months to create apps is absurd. Allow it to stream and when you have your apps designed, tested, and ready to role out, then you shut down the stream and charge your subscribers for the app.

It bothers me that they could allow streaming to paying subscribers tomorrow, but they will not do it because they have to wait on M2M to design apps. They should allow the streaming until the apps are designed.

I get game alerts, radio broadcast and live stats. It also has the roster of the players and gives you a bio on each. It also covers ALL sports, yes even woman's water polo. As someone else mentioned....it's 5 17ing dollars. I am confused on way some of you can't "master" thesimplicity of the app. Very good in my opinion.

 

[8dog]

a. Where are live stats?
b. Can they not come up with a better schedule format than daily? The cowbell app schedule was awesome but it appears to be no longer.

 

[awalkerdog]

A. The live stats only show up when there is a actual live game being played. Try today at 5:00 against Alcorn State. (seriously try the game today.)

B. You got me there chief I don't see any difference betweenthe cowbell schedule and the new app. schedule.
