wait what ! ? you can ' t browse files on your phone and cast them to videostream ? ? because i am able to do this in videostream , you just pair your computer . it was added a long time ago . . . i sync the folders i want videostream to look in and boom , i do everything from my couch .
the products that we use from cisco utilizes a technology called videostream as a countermeasure to this issue . videostream can identify streaming on a network and converts the data - packets so that the streamingtraffick takes a much smaller toll on the network .
my recommendation for windows system is avast ! antivirus with default windows firewall . videostream should work with the combination without issues .
mp4 is the most efficient file type you can use , as it’s supported by the chromecast natively . but videostream actually supports practically any media file type . if necessary , videostream will automatically transcode the file as it streams it to your chromecast .
all the repeated frustrations i ' ve had with videostream makes me wish vlc would hurry up and finish their chromecast support .
to stream local videos to chromecast , here is another ( 4th ) simple method using a chrome extension : videostream for chromecast .
search for videostream in the web store as shown below . click the free button to add the extension to your chrome browser .
update 1 : videostream for chromecast is now named as videostream for google cast following google’s naming convention changes . google now refers software as google cast , and hardware as chromecast . we don’t think it is necessary to update the page for such a name change .
videostream supports over 400 video and audio codecs out of the box . this means you can play almost any video on your chromecast !
actually , once you finish the installation , the videostream extension starts automatically . click “select a movie to play” button as shown below .
please refer to this guide for details on how to launch videostream for google cast app ( and other chrome apps as well ) .
as i know videostream gets frame rate from the fire and play it accordingly . you have to use other apps to change frame rate .

videostream was working great and now it stopped . when i click on it , it opens a separate blank box with nothing in it . i have uninstalled and re - installed both chrome and videostream . i have also uninstalled my malware prevention program . please help , thank you .
videostream ' s secret sauce is its use of ffmpeg , a multimedia framework for transcoding video files . this allows videostream to convert file types on - the - fly and stream them to chromecast . so it should be able to convert virtually any media file you throw at it .
as of 2018 , google is discontinuing chrome apps . the newest version of videostream ( v2 , baby ! ) installs right onto your computer .
this happens even when the vpn client is not running , it just needs to be installed , if i uninstall it , videostream works fine .
top work aside from that . videostream has been working great otherwise - but still , fingers crossed i get what i came for ! = )
hi , videostream works like a charm and the app works great . i’ve created a playlist with pretty much all my videos and its great just sitting back and selecting what i wanna watch and when . now my computer is usually left on in the evenings and there’s nothing worse then lying back and going to open videostream on my phone to pick something and realising i have to get back up and connect to videostream on the computer , i know it’s lazy . is there any way i could connect to videostream via my phone just so i can be more of a couch potato .
avi files may have very different codecs . some of them cannot be handled by videostream . plex should be able to handle almost all of them .
i have multiple chromecasts but videostream is only showing a single one . i cannot scroll down to select second one . any suggestions on how to fix ?
videostream for google chromecast requires the official google cast extension . if you haven’t installed it , you may use the similar procedure to install google cast extension .
although uncommon , but still possible , the problem is caused by other extensions . you may try to temporally disable other extensions except google cast and videostream .
hi there . i used to use videostream on chrome on linux , but as i changed computers i noticed it is not supported on the get videostream page , the one i ' m taken to after adding the chrome extension . is there a workaround to make it work on linux , even if it not officially supported
you can use videostream chrome extension to stream local media for chromecast immediately after the installation . no setup is required ( although there is a setup icon ) .
i ' m able to reproduce it on windows 7 with avast anti - virus . the problem only occurs when i launch videostream using the chrome app launcher .
that’s it . just like other chrome extensions , it is very simple to install . this videostream extension does not require any unnecessary permissions . it is very clean .
in my experience , videostream only supports . srt subtitles . what kind of subtitles are you using , if in the file you can use mediainfo to find out .
i ' ve been a passionate videostream supporter for years ( premium almost from the get - go ) and i ' ve ran in to a bit of an issue .
you should get a confirmation message . it tells you what permissions the videostream extension for chromecast are requiring . to install this chrome extension , click “add” as shown below .
i moved my chromecast to a tv much closer to my wifi router and videostream now works perfectly . i guess the wifi strength was not enough for the original location .
let me start by saying that i recently bought the lifetime premium membership and i absolutely love videostream . it is my favorite thing in the world after pizza and coca - cola .
i am asking because when streaming the same video through my wd tv live media player , it always stops to buffer but with videostream , it works without any problems or buffering .
think of it like this : you don ' t pay us , we can ' t pay ourselves . then videostream sadly has to go byebye because we all starved to death .
i agree , this is a big issue for me and being able to make the most of videostream . would love it if we got word is was being worked on : )
you can also create a shortcut in the desktop . once in the apps page ( chrome : / / apps / ) , right click videostream icon , then you can find the option to “create shortcut” . this will add a shortcut in your desktop . you can use videostream directly from the shortcut without manually opening chrome browser ( and manually finding the app ) .
still encountering this problem for a mkv file i ' m using with videostream premium . on vlc media player it says the codec is dvd subtitles ( spu ) . any chance for a fix in the future ? right now , on videostream , the subtitles are a completely unrelated stream of gibberish about power rangers ( weird ) , while they work properly on vlc media player
mine has been doing this for months now . i keep the videostream window on my laptop open then connect to chromecast before i even touch my phone . it ' s very frustrating .
the insertion is done just - in - time ( jit ) in the transmultiplexing process . this allows targeted , even personalized delivery of ads within every single requested tv - or videostream .
i just wanted to say how much i love videostream . i use it almost every day . now that i can select files right from my phone , it is a completely hassle free experience .
no support for photos or pictures . videostream extension is primarily for videos ( and audios ) . if you want to cast your photos to your guest on tv , this is not for you .
you can also use your android phone as remote control for the casting . they released the app in play store : videostream chromecast : remote . it is simple and functional without bells and whistles .
i feel like every time i see anyone asking anything about the chrome cast on this sub it seems to be people who just didn ' t take the time to learn how to use videostream .
i am using videostream on my mac with chrome as an extension . when i try to stream web pages or youtube , it seems to be fine . when i try to stream local media ( . mkv , . wmv , or so… . ) this happens : – videostream opens the selected video – i can select the streaming device from the list ( i have only that one chromecast in it ) – the file’s name shows on the middle of computer screen in a blue box , saying “it is playing on chromecast1234 ) – on the tv display i see only a videostream logo / screen
works on old tv , new sony xe90 it doesn ' t . i have no idea why or what setting on my tv / chromecast / videostream i need to change to get it to work .
i ' ve put a lot of effort into organizing my media library on my pc so its all neat and tidy , but that pretty much goes out the window for videostream . i have
( 2001 ) cowboy bebop
in ~ media library \ movies \ anime . that clearly shows up in videostream mobile as
cowboy bebop .
cool , it even removed the year for me , that ' s pretty helpful ! but i also have the entire show in ~ medialibrary \ tv shows \ anime under
cowboy bebop
with every episode neatly titled
session x - ' episode name '
at first i thought it wasn ' t appearing in videostream at all , because i couldn ' t find it . however , it is actually called
session
in the videostream app . . .
if you don ' t want to sit at your computer or use a laptop to control playback , you can also download the videostream chromecast remote for android . it allows you to control playback , volume , and manage playlists from an android smartphone or tablet ( sorry iphone owners , there ' s no ios version ) . the app is free and works with both the basic and premium versions of videostream .
i use videostream for a while now , since today i upgradded to the premium version . i can ' t get subtiles that are embedded in * . mkv files to show on the tv / chromecast .
this would be wonderful . as much as i appreciate the work videostream tries to do in disambiguating my files , there are many cases where a simple file system view would be much easier to work with .
we ' re the next generation of entertainment on your tv . with over 300m + internet - connected tvs in the market ( passing 750m by 2018 ) , videostream is bringing internet video content . . .
last couple of days , it seems that videostream doesn ' t load subtitles at all . i ' ve tried different videos and nothing works . . . external or internal subtitles btw . am i the only one ?
had a video up and it just started buffering . the app wasn ' t open anymore . clicked the
launch videostream
icon on chrome and it just went to the website
urltoken
and nothing happened .
airflow keeps stopping every couple of minutes and the videostream app wants me to download something external next to the app , which i don’t want to do . . in conclusion , none of those two work for me .
we want videostream to be even better , including making it easier to users to fix issues when they arise . this is a searchable troubleshooting platform , where you can find fixes to common problems and answers to common questions .
hi , our local files are buffering almost constantly via videostream . other platforms like netflix & popcorntime ( when available : ) work fine . have reduced the quality value but still painfully intermittent w buffering . any suggestions ? sinead
we’ve been impressed with videostream for google chromecast . it’s a chrome app and you can use it for free . you’ll have to pay $ 0 . 99 if you want playlist support , but everything else is currently free .
videostream for google cast is one of the best solutions to stream local media contents to chromecast . it is a free chrome app and gives almost all features you may want to stream local contents without installing any media server packages .
i have been using videostream for some time . suddenly , it stopped working . now i am trying to again download the extension . every it is giving the message - ” could not move extension directly into profile” . please help

i am using videostream on my mac and it works like a charm . i was just wondering if there is any limitation to the bit - rate or in other words , what is the max data speed it can cast with ?

hello , videostream always worked great when playing from desktop . but lately afther a few minutes the streaming starts to buffering with no playin at all . and on my desktop the video keeps on playing . everything else works great youtub netfilx .
if you just want to watch a few videos now and then , videostream does the same thing without any setup process . but , if you want to set up a full - blown home media server , plex will work for you .
you bet ! since you are streaming video from your computer directly to your chromecast or androidtv , videostream doesn ' t use any of your internet bandwidth ! that means no extra usage on your bill , no slowed down traffic on other devices .
great update unfortunately for some reason since this update i get ' communicating with chromecast ' when i try to stream anything . mediastream works though and casting from my phone directly still work so it seems to be something wrong with the videostream premium plugin .
simon , tried that , no luck . chrome simply hangs as soon as i launch videostream app . it opens up the vs page but nothing after that . can’t switch to another chrome window or tab either . i can’t seem to figure out the problem .
attempted the 3 separate fixes i found you recommended and it still doesn’t work . the videostream tech support recommendations are lacking . since i bought the product to stream videos , i would appreciate some sensible support in getting this to work . chrome casting works fine .

i ' m running videostream premium off a windows 7 laptop and in the last 48 hours it has stopped working , i have reinstalled , rebooted and tried every sequence possible but all i get is this on my laptop and tv . can you help please i ' m getting withdrawal symptoms !

videostream for google chromecast is easy to use and fast . if you only need to stream the occasional video to chromecast , then the free version should suit you just fine . however , if the chromecast is your main media hub , then you might want to check out the premium version for its handy playlist support .

i tested various file types with videostream , including avi , mkv , mp4 , wmv , flvs , and vob files ripped from dvds . for audio formats i had no problem playing mp3 , m4a , flac , ape , and even ogg formats . everything streamed to the chromecast and played with little or no problems ( though mkv videos would sometimes freeze in the middle ) . overall , the streaming quality is adequate , but there can be a bit of degradation in video quality with some file types . but considering that videostream is encoding it on - the - fly – while supporting so many different media file types – i don ' t see that as a deal - breaker .
@ nikkim i have a temp work around , as i was having the same issue last night and this seemed to work . click on this link to open up the chromestore and tell videostream to open up in there . this is just a temp work around until the devs find a solution to why the chromecast extension is acting up . urltoken

so i ' ve been using videostream since day one of having my chromecast to cast downloaded videos . works awesome , but my number 1 complaint has been that you cant browse the videos on your computer using your phone . the beauty of chromecast is that you can do everything from you phone , so it ' s annoying to have to use my laptop .
hi is there support of ios devices . i have chromecast . videostream works perfectly with my gf adroid device but when i try to use my ios device such as my iphone it only states i can use it as a remote control . i want it to be able to browse the files on my pc and play them back as it does on android devices .
you could use apps like realcloud player , plex , beamer , airflow , or videostream to cast video saved on your computer to your tv . you can use a keyboard shortcut , too . first , download the latest version of the chrome browser . then , open the browser and simply press control + o ( chromebook and windows ) or command + o ( mac ) .
i tried premium for a month when it was on sale last christmas but decided it does everything i need on the free version . it ' s been great for me . only thing i wish is that it had better sorting features for my folders . i have a lot of tv shows and despite being organized on my computer it came out messed up in the videostream app .
rit is deploying the videostream technology to deliver video relay and transcription services to deaf and hard - of - hearing students . the video relay services allow students to use laptops and other mobile devices to view close - captioned lectures , visual signing , and transcription services in real - time . rit ' s student population includes about 1 , 100 deaf and hard - of - hearing students .
this is a bit of a pet peeve with me and such apps - i do work to put my files in a nice , easy - to - navigate structure , and the app simply ignores all of that and presents me with a hard - to - use mess . videostream is better than most , but the option to switch to a simple folder view would be greatly appreciated .
i need this vpn client to connect to some machines , however videostream will refuse to work when it is installed , claiming that i need to open ports on my computer , when they are open and firewall is disabled . every other app / program continues to work fine , not sure what is different in this case . btw windows firewall is disabled always , i ' m running pfsense .
i ' m having the same issues , i select the file i want to play , select the device i want to cast to , and it just goes back to the screen to select a file ; using videos i ' ve watched previously so i know it ' s not a file issue , and bubbleupnp is working from my android devices , so it ' s definitely videostream specific .
is there a way to stop my windows 10 pc from going into sleep mode whilst casting with videostream ? every time i’m watching something , as soon as it hits the sleep timer , the pc shuts down and streaming stops . only thing i can find that seems to work is turning off sleep mode altogether but i would rather not do this . is there a setting somewhere that i’m missing ?
when we say videostream supports just about any file format , we mean it—we threw avis , mkvs , and more in addition to standard mp4s and mpgs at it , and it worked like a charm every time . even audio files play back ( although obviously there’s no video . ) the app even supports subtitles , which is an amazing bonus . hit the link below to learn more and install it .
i installed the videostream app and it seems to connect ok . the only problem i have is that the video palys for 3 – 4 seconds , then freezes for 5 or so seconds and then repeats the stuttering . it looks like its bufferring , but it happens very frequently . i have tried both a 1080p and a 720p video as well as an mkv and mp4 format with the same results .
just bought my chromecast . installed it and it’s working fine . but installed the videostream app and it’s not working at all . support doc said to run a utility for my firewall which i did . also says to add exceptions to ms security essentials ( but doesn’t tell you how ) which i did . also says to open two ports in my firewall ( but doesn’t say how to do it ) which i did .
these file formats cannot stream with videostream . 1 . start chrome browser , drop the video file to the blank chrome tab . chrome browser should play it . you can then use chrome tab casting ( as shown in this guide : urltoken ) 2 . if chrome browser cannot play the file ( it will download and save a copy ) , you can use plex media server ( as shown in this guide : urltoken )
hi ! i have a problem with video stream , when i use the app in chrome the video works fine but the audio fail , a few days ago the app works fine , but now i can’t hear the audio . i tested others apps and the audio works fine , the problem its just when i am using videostream with chrome . also the movie that i am trying to cast worked well in videstream before .
you can stream seemingly anything to your tv using a chromecast , but tracking down the software you need can be time - consuming - - and it frequently won ' t pull media from other devices on your network . it ' s a good thing that videostream has released its namesake chrome add - on , then . the extension lets you stream almost any locally stored video through google ' s media stick , regardless of type . it ' ll also play videos from networked pcs and drives . there ' s an android remote control if you ' d rather not leave the couch , and the future should bring an ios remote , media playlists and hardware support beyond the chromecast . videostream isn ' t as elegant as a software portal like plex , but it could be handy for that occasional obscurely formatted clip that you absolutely have to watch on a big screen .
based on third - party testing cited by cisco , enabling the videostream option significantly improved the wlan ' s media delivery index ( mdi ) , a metric that combines delay factor and media loss rate to determine video streaming quality . cisco also notes that while it recommends only using 802 . 11n for hd video , its technology will work with older 802 . 11a / b / g access points , albeit with lower quality video streams .
i will buy a lifetime account the next time there is a sale if the library is fixed . i definitely use it enough and am glad to support you guys . its frustrating to have 26 seasons of the simpsons and videostream separates it into something like 30 folders instead of 26 . some folders will have fewer episodes . they were all labeled with filebot and are the same format . i don ' t know why it messes up .
open chrome browser , in the top left area ( below the left and right arrows ) , you should be able to find the apps button ( with text of apps ) . click it to see all apps / extensions installed for chrome browser . you should be able to find videostream . you can also access the same page by simply type : chrome : / / apps / in the address bar . you can bookmark this page as well .
finally did a english blog to explain the demo video . check this out please . urltoken a simple demo of the cisco video stream technology . on the left side , the pc is receiving the video stream via multicast over the air ; on the right side , the pc is receiving the video stream ( being converted from multicast to unicast at the ap level ) over a videostream configured ssid . you can see the video quality is clearly different .
windows 7 , videostream for google chromecast , videostream chromecast : mobile ( on android s8 ) . i have trouble getting vs on my phone to see all the videos that are in the directories that it ' s supposed to sync with . is there a maximum length of folder or filenames ? are some characters not allowed ? such as ( ) or [ ] as a test i put 2 copies of the same video in a folder & named them ,
test ( 1234 ) . avi
and
test ( 1234 . avi
. on my phone the first showed up as ' uncategorized ' with no info except the folder & filename , but the 2nd video was displayed as ' test ' and below that , the season and episode of the file that i had copied ( an episode of columbo ) . are there filename rules that i should be following or are there other reasons that some filenames won ' t sync ?
google opened up the chromecast sdk to developers earlier this year , and some new and exciting apps are starting to pop up . one of them is videostream for google chromecast . the developers describe it simply as
what you bought your chromecast for .
it allows you to stream your local videos from your computer , nas , and other network locations to the big screen . the big draw here is that it supports virtually any video or audio file type you have .
hey roger . sounds like a good venture . my best advice would be to enlist the entrepreneurial meetup communities and get locals to advance the agenda by
hosting
local events that would be based on taking part in the hopefully two way videostream . i ' m a bit active in israel , i ' ve been around london , berlin and zurich meetups , which have alot of active members and organizers . this is i think the best strategy with almost 0 cost of acquisition .
new to videostream . i am able to stream via my laptop , and able to stream via my tablet as well . however , i am unable to stream via my mobile . when i try to play a file via my mobile , it gets stuck on
loading .
however , if i started the file via my laptop or tablet , i am able to control the file on my mobile , i just can ' t initiate the file , how can i address this ?
the chromecast obviously doesn’t provide any way to plug in a usb drive and play local files , so you’re stuck streaming them over the network . videostream and plex take advantage of this , setting up one of your computers to function as a media server the chromecast streams just the video file from . that’s why they’re so much more efficient than tab and desktop - streaming , which requires your computer to record the screen , encode a video , and stream it to your device on the fly .
@ grahamkennery if you look at the second screenshot i posted where it says ' cast this tab to ' when videostream is working there is usually a long string of letters and i have managed to get it to work on it once today , but then it went back to the above . i am having no issues with casting tabs from my iphone , or indeed from my macbook , or pc laptop . not sure what else i can tell you in an email but i ' ll be in touch ta
as we learned with the increasing capacity of ethernet from 10 mbps to 10gbps , adding more bandwidth to the network doens ' t always solve performance issues . 802 . 11n , which can achieve 100 mb / s or more , has more bandwidth than 802 . 11 a / b / g . throughput is only one factor in pushing applications on to wifi . as more mobile users make wireless the primary form of access to enterprise networks and video use increases , look for more compelling solutions like cisco ' s videostream from other infrastructure and video distribution vendors to be rolled out in response .
i contacted support which told me that i need to ' unblock ports 5556 and 5558 ' . i am a complete and uttter idiot when it comes to networks , routers , life , etc . so i really don ' t know what i am doing . i contacted my isp and they told me that in order to set up port forwarding ( if that even is what i really need to get videostream working again ) , they need to provide me with a static ip address , which would cost an extra £5 a month , which i am not willing to pay , because fuck that .
hey all , having an issue streaming local media files . i have the most up to date version of chrome . recently got the videostream app . the chromecast itself works fine when casting a normal tab , streaming youtube clips is perfect . even screen casting my nexus 5 works fine . but when i jump in to video stream and select a file to stream , after it asks me to select a device to cast to ( and i do that ) it just sits “communicating with chromecast” forever . and the video stream logo just bounces around my tv . tried with multiple file types , same thing every time .
i am relatively new to adsense , i have a youtube videostream , in which i apply all my videos . i had applied for monetization of my videos , now let me be clear , i was not sure i had to apply for an adsense account before clicking the monetize button on my videos . but , in all my videos , it says monetized and all my friends say , ads do appear on my videos ! i really don ' t know if i have an adsense account or not . if not , i don ' t how to create one through youtube , i tried creating an account through google adsense , n when i entered the required website as
after opening videostream ( vs ) on my brand new lenovo pc with win 10 , i select the video ( mkv ) file i want to watch , then i select my chromecast device and it starts to load on the tv then suddenly the pc gets the windows blue screen sad face and says its encountered an problem and has to shut down and restart . i can ' t find the report on the event on my pc and haven ' t been able to catch the error / stop code . i have removed both vs and the extension launcher twice . i ' ve been googling for hours and haven ' t found anyone with this problem . i don ; t get any alerts from mcafee or any other warnings / messages .
i’ve used videostream for a while , and have intermittent issues with buffering . we first used it and it worked great . then , after a while , it started buffering more and more frequently . this has occurred both on a windows 7 laptop , and then on a brand new windows 8 . 1 laptop . the computer can handle the files just fine , but once we try to use vs , it buffers a lot . the videos are mostly . avi files , a mix of sd and hd , movies and tv shows of various lengths . we have a comcast x1 combo modem / router , if that matters . the only devices on our network are a laptop , two phones and the chromecast . any suggestions for ways to fix it ?
cisco ' s videostream technology uses a combination of solutions to deliver manageable video to wireless clients . by utilizing the reliable multicast protocol , stream prioritization and resource reservation control , cisco believes that it has solved the video over wlan problem . when enabled , the wireless controller passes the stream to access points that have subscribed to the multi - cast stream . the access points then convert the multi - cast streams to unicast and send the video to the specific wireless clients that subscribe to the video . stream prioritization places video before other applications ; rsvp reserves bandwidth for the video . both ensure that the video will have the capacity and performance characteristics required to deliver decent video . of course , streaming video is bandwidth intensive , so admission control is applied at the ap , ensuring a given access point is not overwhelmed with more wireless clients than it can support .

star wars becomes an amusement park attraction , debuting in disneyland and now operating in disneyland paris after its close in america in 2010 .
nevertheless , the fiercely competitive evening newspaper market in london proved too much for some titles . by the early years of the twentieth century , a number of rival papers were struggling to survive . one by one they folded until london was left with three surviving evening papers : the star , the evening news and the evening standard . although managing to outlast the likes of the pall mall gazette and the evening post , in may of 1912 the star fell under the ownership of the cadbury newspaper empire . at this point the sister paper to the star , the national daily the morning leader , which like the star was owned and published by the star newspaper company in stonecutter street , merged with george cadbury ' s newspaper the daily news . the amalgamation of the two titles resulted in the daily news and leader , which became the new companion newspaper to the star . on july 1 , 1912 , the headquarters of the star were moved from their old premises in stonecutter street and relocated to nearby bouverie street , where they shared offices with the daily news and leader . from this point the star was published by the daily news ltd , a company which belonged to the cadbury family . three years later , in may of 1915 , the star absorbed the short - lived echo and london evening chronicle . over the ensuing four months the newly merged paper bore the full title the star and echo , until the following august when it was once again known simply as the star .
to cite a rare inside - page feature he was responsible for ) . cole launched his own company , star comics , and made blue bolt the star of his own title again . but the renewed glory was short - lived . in 1951 , taking advantage of the genre epitomized by
as the first weekly star wars tv series , the animated kids ' show runs to this day on cartoon network , maintaining viewership from younger audiences .
in the late 1930s the star continued to compete successfully with its two rivals in the london evening newspaper market . certainly in a political sense readers of the star saw it as a welcome alternative to the generally right - of - centre evening news and evening standard . in the months building up to the outbreak of war in september 1939 , the star made clear its opposition to the rise of nazism in germany . while other papers openly sympathised with hitler and took great pains to appreciate and defend his point of view , the star stood largely alone in condemning the actions of the third reich . this editorial policy , while acknowledged as fully just today , was atypical of british newspapers at the time . indeed , as early as 1933 , hitler had banned the star from sale in germany because of the paper ' s criticism of the nazi regime . as ever , the star , along with the news chronicle , was not afraid to stand by its convictions .

despite such differences of opinion between the star and its rival the evening news , it is beyond dispute that the circulation of the star increased dramatically in the final years of the nineteenth century . with the paper going from strength to strength , a special edition of the star was issued on january 17 , 1898 , to mark the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the newspaper . entitled
after ten years ,
the commemorative issue included several excellent line drawings , numerous articles and messages of congratulation from newspaper editors around the world . these were golden days in the newspaper ' s history , and with the beginning of a new century , the star continued to flourish under the editorship of ernest parke .
james douglas ' two years in control came to an end in march of 1920 when he left to become editor of the sunday express . at this point long - serving star journalist wilson pope assumed the role . two months later on may 6 , 1920 , the star published its 10 , 000th issue . a commemorative edition was published to mark the occasion , with special contributions from founder t . p . o ' connor and henry massingham . presently the star went on to enlarge in size , expanding to 16 pages in 1922 , and increasing to twenty - four pages by the end of 1928 . circulation figures published during the 1920s certainly testify to the continued growth and popularity of the star .
such changes aside , the years following the acquisition of the star by the cadbury empire saw it continue to grow in size ( with the exception of during the great war when paper shortages limited the size of all newspapers ) and popularity , with the estimable ernest parke remaining as editor . happily for the many loyal readers the star had attained over the years , there was little disruption resultant from the takeover . fortunately the new owners were strong supporters of the liberal party , so that the editorial bias of the star went largely unchanged . a sense of continuity was assured , and this factor played a major part in the enduring popularity of the star , with the paper continuing to plead for peace and social reform .
the first issue of the star appeared on the streets of london on january 17 , 1888 . a four - page broadsheet that was published six - days - a - week , it was priced like other evening newspapers at one halfpenny . the founder and very first editor of the star was thomas power o ' connor ( 1848 - 1929 ) , an irish nationalist m . p . and journalist who was born in athlone and educated at queen ' s college in galway . on the front page of the opening issue of the star was o ' connor ' s declaration of editorial policy , promising that the star would champion the cause of the underprivileged and highlight the needs of working class families . to quote from o ' connor ' s editorial of the first issue :
the rich , the privileged , the prosperous need no guardian or advocate ; the poor , the weak , the beaten require the work and word of every humane man and woman to stand between them and the world .
published by the star newspaper company from its original offices in stonecutter street near ludgate circus in e . c . 4 , the star provided many londoners with a voice not provided by certain other evening newspapers , often taking a controversial stand against government policies of the day . very much a radical newspaper , typically the star would strongly oppose military action ( the star was vehement in its opposition to the boer war ) and would represent the plight of workers in any trade union disputes . a liberal newspaper from its inception , the star remained so for its entire lifespan , fighting for social justice and a better life for the poor .
while offering its own multimedia journalism , urltoken also houses content from the philippine star , one of the leading english broadsheets in the country ; pilipino star ngayon , a tabloid - style newspaper published in filipino ; freeman , cebu oldest english - language newspaper ; banat , a tabloid published in cebuano ; and people asia magazine , which profiles personalities in the philippines and the region .
the star had to contend with stiff competion though . in the early years the star competed against a number of other evening newspapers in london , among which were the pall mall gazette , the globe , the evening mail and the evening post . the evening news in particular proved to be a worthy adversary . indeed , in june 1895 an argument flared up between the editors of the star and evening news with both papers challenging the other ' s circulation figures . the evening news felt the need to point out that a newspaper ' s circulation was not the same as its actual net sale , while also challenging the basic accuracy of the star ' s circulation figures . the star meanwhile firmily stood by its own claims and refuted the allegations of its rival , remarking that their own circulation figures had been independently verified . after a few more tit - for - tat exchanges , bored readers were no doubt pleased when both papers thankfully fell silent on the subject !
at this time the star was marking a major anniversary in its history . the star began celebrating its fiftieth year of publication with a special jubilee article on january 17 , 1938 . the anniversary article included contributions from several former writers for the newspaper . these included reminiscences from george bernard shaw , a . a . milne , h . g . wells , a . g . gardiner and lord hewart of bury . the star ' s jubilee celebrations culminated with a banquet held at the savoy hotel on january 21 . the meal was attended by all manner of notable personages among whom were members of parliament , twenty - two metropolitan mayors and various fleet street editors . also in attendance were representatives from the worlds of art and literature , religious leaders , bankers , civil servants and industrialists . the year 1938 proved to be a landmark year for the star , with even lord rothermere , who owned the rival newspaper the evening news , remarking that
the star has retained in an extraordinary degree the vivacity and enterprise of its early issues .
the fiftieth anniversary of the star was truly a cause for celebration , and it is clear that the paper was loved and respected by many .
since its launch on june 23 , 1995 , as malaysia ' s first news website , the star online has always striven to provide readers with up to date breaking news , compelling content and insightful opinions .
originally titled
revenge of the jedi ,
the final installment to the classic star wars series in which ewoks made their debut , grossed the inflation - adjusted equivalent of $ 784 , 455 , 500 .
it was never released to video due to a dismal reception at its time , but today , its obscurity translates to a rare star wars collectible . the full two hours of the special are now on youtube .
however , older generations still remember the star with fondness and many recall it as one of the last of the great liberal newspapers . although the history of the star has now become the stuff of legend , with the early years of its existence at best a dusty memory , i hope the small overview i ' ve written above stands as an affectionate testimony that this great evening newspaper entertained and informed londoners for 72 glorious years .
despite strict paper restrictions affecting the size and potential circulation of all newspapers in the u . k . , the star achieved its greatest ever sales in the late 1940s . the average daily net sale from july to december 1947 stood at 1 , 079 , 848 copies . the largest ever single day ' s sale of the star was attained on november 20 , 1947 , when on the occasion of the marriage between princess elizabeth and prince philip , the paper sold 1 , 414 , 660 copies . remarkably , these figures merely reflect the highest amount of newspapers which could be produced in the period ; the demand for the star among londoners is said to have far exceeded this . indeed the circulation of the star , in the immediate post - war period , certainly exceeded that of the evening standard , and was second only to that of associated newspapers ' mighty evening news .
during the second world war and the subsequent years of rationing , the star , like other newspapers , was limited in page - length due to paper restrictions . as was the case in the first war , space limitations resulted in the disappearance of many regular features in the star . despite all this , the star sold well during these austere periods . indeed , the paper still found room to entertain as well as inform within the limits of its four pages , and the likes of the regular short story feature ( solely provided for most of the war years by the estimable f . w . thomas ) would no doubt have provided light relief for many londoners . overseeing all this was arthur leslie cranfield , who succeeded cruickshank as editor of the star in 1941 . cranfield ' s reign saw a number of changes to the newspaper . the most important was undoubtably the conversion from broadsheet back to the former tabloid size in february 1941 . a few months after the conversion in size took place , the star settled to an average size of eight ( tabloid ) pages . despite the appearance of the odd twelve page edition , it was to remain this size for most of the 1940s and into the early 1950s .
it was a sensible enough scheme based on what was known at the time : ole roemer had measured the speed of light the century before , so michell had a ballpark figure with which to work . he also understood the concept of “escape velocity , ” and that this critical speed would be determined by the mass and size of the star . specifically , michell pondered what would happen if a star were so massive , and its gravity so strong , that the escape velocity was equivalent to the speed of light . he concluded :
but it was a paper michell wrote in november 1783 to cavendish–later published in the royal society’s journal–that proved the most prescient . his intent was not to “invent” exotic objects , but to discover a useful method to determine the mass of a star . michell adhered to isaac newton’s corpuscular theory of light , and since light was made of particles , he reasoned that when they were emitted by a star , that star’s gravitational pull would reduce their speed , producing an observable shift in the starlight . he thought he could measure how much the speed of light was reduced by passing it through a prism ; it ought to be deflected differently because of the reduced energy . he could conceivably compare the refracted images of different stars to determine the difference in their surface gravity , and from that , calculate their respective masses .
during world war one , rationing and paper costs meant that by 1916 the star was by necessity only four pages long . the war also meant that the star , like other newspapers , was under the control of government censorship . another consequence of the war years was the need to increase the price of the newspaper in 1918 from one halfpenny to one penny . although this was considered a war - time measure , rising costs meant that the price remained the same in the years after the war . indeed , on a wider scale the era of halfpenny newspapers had come to an end . the final year of the war proved to be a transitional period for the newspaper . it saw the resignation of ernest parke , who had served as editor of the star since 1891 . his natural successor was james douglas ( 1867 - 1940 ) , who had worked as assistant editor to parke for many years . another major change to the newspaper was the conversion to tabloid size on december 27 , 1917 . initially intended as an experiment in form , the new smaller size was popular with commuters , thus the paper became a tabloid on a permanent basis . this meant the star was now made up of eight smaller pages instead of the former four broadsheet - sized pages . by the early 1920s the star had increased to twelve pages . it continued to grow in size over the following two decades .
from october 18 , 1960 the name of the star lived on in a very limited sense as part of the full title of the paper which absorbed it . for eight years the masthead of harmsworth ' s evening paper bore the title the evening news and star , until 1968 when the paper ' s name became just the evening news once again . the evening news and evening standard battled it out over the next twelve years , until the evening news itself ceased publication when it was merged with the evening standard in october 1980 . the new paper , now under control of associated newsapers , continues to this day and is the sole remaining evening newspaper covering the whole of london .

lucas sold toy merchandising rights to a company called kenner , then owned by general mills . in 1977 , the demand for kenner’s toys was so high , the company actually issued ious to waiting customers that included complimentary membership into the star wars fan club . kenner soon expanded the collection to include more characters , including those from the infamous cantina scene . by the end of 1978 , kenner had sold more than 40 million action figures .
in the realm of physics , he conceived and designed the experimental apparatus later used by cavendish to measure the force of gravity between masses in the laboratory to obtain the first accurate value for the gravitational constant ( “g” ) . and he was the first to apply statistical methods to astronomy . he studied how stars were distributed in the night sky and argued that there were far more “pairs” or groups or stars than would happen with random alignments . his analysis provided the first evidence for binary stars and star clusters .
boring environment , as a media company the star head office seems like a very dull corporate environment . very traditional concept , office is quite rundown and old . people are not friendly . very tough for newbies to blend in with current seniors . some senior news editors are arrogant . lots of politics and backstabbing . quite normal for media company though . not recommended for fresh grads to start here . i ' ve seen editors taking advantage of young writers . no proper training and seniors are very bossy . plus basic pay for fresh grads with degree is quite low compared to other media companies .
in a visual sense issues of the star during pope ' s reign in the 1920s were a far cry from the heady days of the paper ' s early years . the use of photographs had increased dramatically , with the inclusion of many more feature articles developed along with the expansion of the sports , entertainment and fashion columns . the paper ' s long held traditions of news reporting and political commentary were still very much in evidence however . wilson pope ' s ten years as editor were an evident success , with circulation figures as ever on the increase and the overall quality of the newspaper improving all the time .
from the beginning o ' connor was ably assisted by his right - hand man , assistant editor henry w . massingham ( 1860 - 1924 ) , a talented journalist who succeeded o ' connor as editor in 1890 . his tenure as editor ended the following year however , when ernest parke took over the role , remaining in the position until 1918 . the early success of the newspaper was also down to a team of gifted and illustrious writers who contributed to the star on a regular basis . among these were george bernard shaw , james douglas , thomas marlowe , h . n . brailsford , william clarke and ernest belford bax . o ' connor himself went on to found and edit the sun in 1893 . an author of several books , he served in parliament for several decades until his death in 1929 .
as the 1940s opened , comic books were probably the biggest growth area in the american publishing industry . it wasn ' t just pulp magazine publishers , such as
also launched a comic book line , novelty press , in 1940 . novelty ' s early releases were packaged for them by funnies , inc . , one of several studios producing ready - to - print features for start - up publishers . but the hero they chose for the lead position in their second anthology title had been done by joe simon ,
the character , blue bolt , was deemed strong enough to warrant naming the comic book after him .
debuted with a cover date of june , 1940 , with the very first simon & kirby character the most prominent thing in it .
first , he was struck by lightning during practice . then he staggered into an airplane and flew off to get help , and got struck by lightning again . the plane crashed so hard , he wound up underground . fortunately , a scientist named bertoff had located his lab there , and revived the young athlete by treating him with that most up - to - date of medical miracles , radium . back then , instead of causing cancerous lesions , pure , health - giving radiation was capable of bestowing super powers . or maybe it was the lightning .
bertoff also supplied fred with his superhero suit and a handy lightning gun . then he turned the newly named blue bolt loose on the local super villain , the green sorceress , whose subterranean army occupied the hero ' s attention for almost a year . after defeating them , he looked in on the surface via bertoff ' s handy telescreen , and saw that world war ii had started . so he did his patriotic duty and went topside to duke it out with nazis , despite the fact that the u . s . was still months away from entering the war . in vol . 2 no . 7 , which was dated the same month as pearl harbor , a female version of him , lois blake , ventured underground to get powered up , and became his sidekick . but by that time he was no longer the cover feature — he ' d been supplanted there by
simon and kirby stayed with blue bolt less than a dozen issues . their successors included ( among others ) dan barry (
or as the non - comics - reading world knows him , mike hammer ) . as superheroes fell out of favor with the comics - reading public , blue bolt metamorphosed into a plainclothes hero , with neither costume nor super powers .
in 1949 , novelty press , responding to growing criticism of comic book violence , got out of the business and sold its assets ( characters and reprintable artwork ) to cover artist superstar l . b . cole (
after a couple of issues , all the series were ousted in favor of turning the insides to grisly horror as well , and blue bolt was gone for good .

your trust is our top concern , so companies can ' t alter or remove reviews .
if you know how to rub shoulders with the top management , you will be happy here . be a yes man and you go far even though you are no talents . just carry their
balls
and polish their backside .
no one teaches you what to do . you have to figure out yourself . thrown with work and the lady bosses will disappear and back with nicely blown hairdo and shopping bags . no one dare to question the lady bosses high salary 5 figure but no work
should implement clock in at every dept even if you are at the very top . lately lots of boo boo and all because of the attitude of the top management as they depended on lower rank to do their job . please look into hr there ' s a disease there . legacy issues that will never change .
management does not value good workers , preferring to reward those who can ' t do the job , just because they are good apple polishers .
value your good staff . get to the real reasons why good staff leave . do not promote people who can ' t do the job .
i ' ve been in the company for 5 years . one sided view of moving government propaganda to public . a little bit better now as they went through bad times when public boycotted them but in the end it ' s still a company owned by mca which reports back to barisan nasional . lotsa flexibility as people here don ' t really take work seriously . screw up things and it ' s fine as they will repeat the same problem over and over again proven with track record .
as long you have the correct strings attached you can sail far even if you ' re just an empty vessel . it ' s fine as long you talk the talk the bosses wants to hear and never go against it even if it ' s wrong . with time on your side , you ' d slowly move up .
this is a business which eventually needs to sun set and yet the management is not taking steps to garner other streams of income . there is steps taken to move to digital which hires much more useless top management which brings along their own people and going round circles again and again . i think they sure do enjoy merry go round rides especially those board members . nokia did nothing wrong and yet they failed tremendously while this company did everything wrong and waiting for things to change better . the world is changing fast and competition is strong . you don ' t have to do anything wrong ( which this case you ' re doing everything wrong ) , as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it right , you lose out and fail .
it is who you know in the upper management and not what your talent is . best play
dumb
and you go far
a good place for retirement but no growth as opportunities are rare . literally you can get away with murder for most senior management staff . abuses are so rampantly seen .
please take care of the lower rank staff . they are the ones to be rewarded . senior editorial staff are enjoying all perks & benefits but the juniors work their butts out ! these bosses think and behave that the company belongs to them as no one watches them . they are the
dead
wood causing the company to slide .
friendly people and good facilities . having the company ' s name on your cv will boost up your chances moving to a better place later
full with dinosaurs ( old retired and not qualified people ) refusing to leave . management likes to give the impression to keep up with trend and innovation ways of business but having a hard time to maintain the projects which most of the department / section will close down after 1 - 2 years of operations .
good benefits such as medical and allowances . given opportunities to write on any relevant interest . stable company .
the company values career development , they will allow to go off all sort of trainings . they certainly practise work life balance . you really do to leave work on time it ' s what they practiced for the last 4 decades .
too much work life balance could be a bad thing . the company vision is there , the mission is there , the values is also there , but no action plan being executed . you know the saying , walking the talk ? well , they don ' t . they really don ' t enforce at all . there ' s this two halves that never seems to coincide one another ; the print and the digital platform don ' t ever get to see eye to eye . the current ceo understands the importance of digital and print needs to be as one , but never drive it hard !
ceo , please get your hr in order ; and think strategically , hr is the backbone to support the business . identified talents within and / or hire some . people who left were or are talents . you failed time and time again to recognises all those late joiners are in fact top talents that has made millions of dollars which your top management has neglected .
given freedom to generate meaningful stories based on human interest topics and current issues .
management refused to recruit more employees yet create more workload for the existing ones . unequal job distribution .
cherish the hard and smart workers , and weed out those who do not perform and spend hours sucking up to their bosses .

we think of black holes as a 20th century invention , dating back to 1916 , when albert einstein first published his theory of general relativity and fellow physicist karl schwarzschild used those equations to envision a spherical section of spacetime so badly warped around a concentrated mass that it is invisible to the outside world . but the true “father” of the black hole concept was a humble 18th century english rector named john michell–a man so far ahead of his scientific contemporaries that his ideas languished in obscurity , until they were re - invented more than a century later .
born in 1724 , michell attended cambridge university and wound up teaching there for a time , before becoming rector of thornhill , near the town of leeds . he is described somewhat unflatteringly in contemporary accounts as “a little short man , of black complexion , and fat , ” who was nonetheless “esteemed a very ingenious man , and an excellent philosopher . ” for a small - town rector , he had some pretty impressive scientific connections : benjamin franklin , joseph priestley , and henry cavendish all visited him at some point in his career .
michell’s research interests spanned several areas of science . he started out looking into magnetism , demonstrating that the magnetic force exerted by each pole of a magnet decreases with the square of the distance . after a major lisbon earthquake in 1755 , he proposed that earthquakes propagate as waves through solid earth , thereby helping establish the field of seismology . he won election to the royal society for that insight .
“if the semi - diameter of a sphere of the same density as the sun in the proportion of five hundred to one , and by supposing light to be attracted by the same force in proportion to its [ mass ] with other bodies , all light emitted from such a body would be made to return towards it , by its own proper gravity . ”
