Re: Joost for iPhone: A Bad Case of the Hiccups

For Internet junkies with high-speed access, there's a growing set of options for viewing online TV shows and movies. Sites like Hulu.com, Joost.com and even YouTube.com are showing full-length TV shows online. While YouTube is far behind Hulu and Joost in that regard, at least iPhone owners can watch YouTube videos on their mobile screens. When I stumbled upon Joost in the Apple App Store, I was pleasantly surprised. I had briefly used Joost's client-side Mac video viewing application in its early days, back when Joost had very little content ... then forgot about it.


a ways to go but a way around the hiccups...

what ive found to work when using joost is to :
select your show and wait for it to start playing, when it starts immediately pause it and give a few secs to buffer (10 maybe).
doing this ive found i get no hicups at all once ive started it back playing, sometimes will have to move the timleine back to the beginning.
personally MY biggest complaint about JOOST is that when skimming through its content, theres no way to tell if a 'tv show' that ive selected is a clip or a full episode unless i select it and look at the clip time. frustrating after about 4 times of getting all 'clips'
