WizOS on Macbook Air?

Post by tb123 » Fri Jan 13, 2017 13:42

We have the WizOS app working on a couple of iPads and Android devices. We have just bought a Macbook Air and I'm wondering if its possible to run the WizOS app on it? We hit the App Store but nothing comes up for Beyonwiz or WizOS etc.

Cheers

Not possible unfortunately. As it is at the moment, the app requires a touch interface.

Depending on your requirements, could you use OpenWebif on the Macbook Air's browser?

I'll get her to try it and see - I've always found it a bit clunky and hit or miss as being able to stream things on my laptop and desktop, maybe it will be better on a Mac. The App works really nicely and is dead simple.

Depending on your usage, you can always just use finder to mount the WIZ disk and then use VLC or Quicktime to play the TS files.

That works nicely for recordings.

You can make streaming live TV work a bit more smoothly by creating a "playlist" file on your PC.

Create a text file called "Beyonwiz Channels.m3u" or something like that, and then you can cut and paste the streaming URL for each channel from the Wiz's Web Interface into your playlist text file in a format like the following:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U 

#EXTVLCOPT--http-reconnect=true 

#EXTINF:1, 7HD
http://beyonwizt3/web/stream.m3u?ref=1:0:19:564:506:1013:EEEE0000:0:0:0:&name=7HD%20Perth

#EXTINF:1, 7TWO
http://beyonwizt3/web/stream.m3u?ref=1:0:1:562:506:1013:EEEE0000:0:0:0:&name=7TWO%20Perth

#EXTINF:1, 7mate
http://beyonwizt3/web/stream.m3u?ref=1:0:1:563:506:1013:EEEE0000:0:0:0:&name=7mate%20Perth
etc... for every channel.

Then you can just open the playlist in any video player that supports those sorts of playlists (live VLC) and skip between tracks to change channels.
