Sky Go Safari
Sky has revamped the user interface of its Sky Go Android app and desktop player.
I had transitioned my data and set ups from my older iMac but upon trying to open up Sky Go from the button in the tray, it checked and downloaded the new Sky Go version 1.15.7 and the told me after a wait that initialisation failed. After some digging I found the following sequence, for some reason worked. SkySafari is a powerful planetarium that fits in your pocket, puts the universe at your fingertips, and is incredibly easy to use! Quixun sound cards & media devices driver. Simply hold your device to the sky and quickly locate planets, constellations, satellites, and millions of stars and deep sky objects. From 1 January 2021, you won’t be entitled to access streamed content outside the UK through Sky Go, Sky Sports and Sky Kids, but some of our apps will let you download and save shows over WiFi before you leave home so you can watch them offline when abroad.
As well as bringing a new landscape-oriented UI and a fresh coat of paint, the new-look Sky Go will eventually host a string of new features including a ‘play next episode’ tool.
This could mean that by the time the sixth run of Game of Thrones lands in April, Sky customers will be able to binge their way through previous episodes and seasons.
Sky Go mobile TV app unwraps Amazon Fire tablet support in time for ChristmasOther updates due to hit Sky Go include an improved search feature that promises to pull in related titles and a portal that serves up recommendations. Sky’s given no indication as to when it’s due to start rolling out future updates, but says that Sky Go for iOS will be updated with the new-look interface in February.
Sky’s director of product development Michele Swaine said: “This is just the start of a really exciting year for Sky Go – an app that’s led the way in watching on the go and loved by millions of people around the UK.
“Both the redesign rolling out today and brilliant new features coming later this year are all part of our commitment to making finding the best TV brilliantly simple. So grab your phone or tablet, log in, and enjoy your favourite TV wherever you are.”
You can download the new Sky Go app for Android from Google Play now. The Sky Go desktop player requires Silverlight to run, so you won’t be able to watch it through Chrome, but it will work on Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari for Windows and Mac.
Add the auxiliary SkySafari driver to your equipment profile. The driver is available under the auxiliary dropdown in Ekos.
When you start the profile, you only need to update what mount the SkySafari drivers listens to. By default, it is set to Telescope Simulator. In the example below, since the mount we selected in our example Equipment Profile is EQMod, we change the mount to EQMod Mount.
EQMod Mount is just an example, select the mount driver suitable for your mount in the Equipment Profile.
You must do this before you click connect and establish the server. If you are already connected, click Disconnect, update the mount name, then click Connect again.
After you change the mount name to your active mount, please save the configuration by clicking Save so that your mount name is used the next time you connect to the driver.
In the unlikely event your INDI mount is NOT running on the same machine as the SkySafari INDI driver, you can change the INDI server hostname and port. Otherwise, leave this settings without any changes. By default, the SkySafari INDI server is started on port 9624. You can change this value if necessary but it is recommended to leave it as it
Now are you ready to connect, simply connect all your drivers and the SkySafari driver shall establish a server that your iOS/Android SkySafari app can connect to. When everything is OK, you shall see a message indicating that server is established:
Now open your SkySafari app and setup your mount. By default, the INDI SkySafari servers starts on port 9624. You need to know the IP address of the machine running INDI server, whether it's a desktop machine or embedded like Raspberry PI.
If you are connecting to StellarMate directly over HotSpot mode, enter 10.250.250.1 as the IP address in SkySafari. If StellarMate is joined to home WiFi network, enter stellarmate.local or StellarMate IP address directly.
Go the mount setup page in your App and set the IP address and port of the INDI SkySafari server:
