DO NOT buy an ipad

[zakito]

May be somebody can help me: I bought a smartphone, Omnia w from Sansung, it's a windowsphone.Do you know if it's possible and eventually how to see the images and the video from tennisplayer.net?

[John Yandell]

Z,

No idea on that one. Is it Flash enabled? If so you could at least see the animations in the articles as on the Android pads. Androids won't see the strokes. Ipads won't see the animations and only the "new" html 5 high speed archives.

We are working toward a solution for the ipads, but the problems on the others may be more difficult or not solvable. Don't you love the mobile world?

[zakito]

thank you

[sfrazeur]

So does TP.net work on Android phones?

[John Yandell]

You can see the animations in the articles. But the android operating system will not allow you to install a Quick Time or compatible player. This is big business politics...

[sfrazeur]

Thanks John.

I did a little research and found that .mov can be play using a 3rd party app.
RockPlayer Lite, QQPlayer and MoboPlayer are supposed to play .mov files on an Android. Can anyone confirm this with recent and older Tennisplayer.net files?

[John Yandell]

That's probably true--but not directly off the site. You would have to download them elsewhere and import them into the phone/pad.

Yep. Which is silly to have to do. Be kind of hard to have the entire library on the Galaxy S II I'm getting. So it would have to be select library.

. . .That got me thinking on the size of the archive. Can you disclose, roughly, how many gigabytes or terabytes is the entire Tennisplayer Stroke archive?

[John Yandell]

Not sure really. We have hella storage on our servers...I can ask our programer.

But even the high speed ones are relatively small.

I plan to buy Galaxy S II
Please let me know whether you are successful seeing/watching the Stroke archive
What is the format of the video for galaxy?
mpeg? html5?

Do you know whether strokes can be seen on Galaxy of Samsung?

[John Yandell]

Nope. Same problem in reverse. Google won't let you download a QT player. You could possible import them from another source and find a player that worked but I have no idea whether that would really work.

UPDATE!

As some of you know from corresponding with our staff, we are working on a massive, complete site conversion to make Tennisplayer mobile compatible and truly THE source for tennis instructional information in this new millennium.

We have actually been working on this for around a year and now have we've come far enough that I can let you guys all know. We hope to have everything ready early next year.

That's something close to 100,000 descrete files! We are going to count on our subscribers for beta testing after we officially launch the mobile version!

ALSO as many of you know, most of the new issues for the past several months and also the entire new High Speed Stroke Archive is already mobile capatible.

By that we mean ipad, iphone, and to some extent android as well.

We are in this for the long run and appreciate your appreciation and support of everything we do on Tennisplayer.

Dear Mr Yandell,
will the iphone version have capability to stop and restart frame by frame?

[John Yandell]

Note as well as QT on a laptop. Unless they improve their mobile software...But you can pause. So the high speed is great. Again, Apple functionality is poor on these devices, but at least the site will be fully visible.
