Didn't know where else to put this since the app is new. I just checked it for the first time and it looks great. However the first video I tried to play, an episode of GeekBeat.TV, just showed a black screen instead of video. After tat every time i load the app all I get is a black screen. All I can do is hit the Home button to back out of the app. This is on the Droid X.
Edit: I see if I go into settings I can force stop the app and then it will start again OK. other videos play OK I think, the problem is with Cali's videos that do not have a thumbnail.
Edit 2: After comparing the app to the Rev2Remote app, I'm afraid I have to stick with that one for now, it offers an HD option for watching so the video quality is much nicer.

Hi there... thanks for checking out the app!
The issues you mention should be fixed with the most recent release - update your application and see if they're still happening and let us know.
Also, for the first release of this app, we chose to go with the lower-quality encode as it be least likely to be sluggish while streaming. However, we are looking to add an HD option in a future release, so stay tuned!
Thanks for watching!

after the most recent update 1.02 i think. none of videos will play. it just sits there for a few seconds then goes back to episode description. the rating in the market is falling fast...

cant watch ANY episodes because the "Watch This Episode" button takes you to a black screen and then right back to where you were
waste of time... hard to believe it coming from Rev3 ... but marketing-wise i suppose it got me to come back to the website

An HD version would make me use the app. The current quality on my droid x just doesn't cut it.
