Windows Phone Central 159 - The Return!
Where is video download link?Â
Jeez, I forgot about these. I switched to android last month....at least they make podcasts ;P
Also, I did not turn to android!
I miss the podcast live stream yesterday damn
Can't stream the new ep with Podcast Lounge or the WPCentral app... still has the old one. YouTube works but then I can't use anything else on my phone while it plays. Hope it's up soon.
Same issue here
I know this is unrelated but what's happened to nova 3 this week?
Coming out in may sometime nobody knows when. The article was wrong.
I tapped on the video link in the WPCentral app... my phone said I didn't have an app did I wan to get one at the store, I found a Microsoft youtube app I had no idea had ever been released... previous attempts to find a good MS youtube did not return a good result...

Awesome that the link opens the new YouTube app. Can't get anything else to use it. If only for the scrubber.
The feedburner link does not work all my podcast players still show March as the latest episode.
Â
I'm currently planning on taking a hiatus of my own & switching to a Nexus 4 (or 5 depending on what happens at Google IO).
Â
I'm tired of wrestling with Windows Phone 8's shonky media playback & syncing. WP8 can't play files that WP7 played fine, Â the sync tool's still crashy and will sporadically wipe the media from the phone before very slowly copying it all back and I've given up hope of ever seeing any album art on any podcast (including this one). Overall t's a distinct step back from WP7 and from talking with Microsoft support I get the distinct impression they aren't interested.
Â
It's not rocket science (I know because I'm an aeronautical engineer).
Â
Any chance one of the GDR's will fix any of these issues?
