There is an app off the market you can download that allows you to watch tv on your android, and don't need flash. You can download the app at http://androidvideo.net/apps/AndroidVideo.apk
has anyone tried this yet i dont really want to go to the trouble of putting it on if it does not really work or is malware
I'm watching an old South Park episode as a result of this app.
It's just a webview of a website, not really a self contained 'app', but either way, the developer clearly put a lot of time into this site.
Plays the episodes/videos just fine with the HTC video player. Works perfectly.
Props for this web site, whatever it is.
No, there is no malware in the app. The app was made with Google App Inventor and they don't let apps built with that put on the market yet.

Has anyone managed to get netflix to work? If so, did you just download it off of the Market, or did you get an APK from somewhere?
When I load into mine I'm able to log in and view their library, but when I go to play something it just hangs on the screen before the player is supposed to show up and never progresses. It's not locked or frozen, but it just sits there forever.
I'm confused. what Netflix app. I thought we weren't seeing a netflix app that plays until sometime in 2011

I'm really new to Android, (been stuck with iOS for a while) so I'm not sure really. I just went on to the marketplace and did a search for "Netflix" and found one called "Netflix for Android." I suppose that's not official then? Guess I should change my netflix password!

Looks like all that App dose is Allow you to edit your que and browse the Movies. No viewing. And its Not Official. As someone said before No Official till sometime in 2011 and then from what I understand it will only be for 2.2+
Netflix for android app is just an app for managing your queues and such. says right on the description not affiliated with netflix. Official netflix app is suppose to be out next year, however netflix recently said it would likely only work with versions after 2.2 due to their "security concerns", so dont expect it on the nook any time soon
Well dont I feel silly.
Thanks all
Droid Life has posted the .apk for the upcoming Honeycomb (Android 3.0) Music player. I have tested it on the G-Tablet (running TNT Lite 3.12) and on my Droid 2 and it works great. Please keep in mind that not all features are working yet...it is still a work in progress.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/27/download-honeycomb-music-player-from-google-io/
yeah i saw this too on droid-life since i look at that site every couple mins as i do with this site, been watching that site for years. that music app does look like its going to be some great stuff once its completed.
Can anyone be kind enough to host the file somewhere else, I've trie to download the .apk on my tablet and pc and the file dosnt download correctly
TIA
Downloads ok on my advent Vega.
Beamed from my sweet Galaxy S with doc's jpo v9 zenkinz oc and R64s theme.

Yeah, I had problems downloading from my Droid 2 as well... I had to connect to the PC as Mass Storage and download it that way instead.
Here is another link

I bet the streamed music has to do with Googles purchase of simplified media. I used it back in my iPhone days and it allowed me to stream my whole iTunes library to other computes or my phone.
Thanks for sharing.
Have you guys looked at Audiogalaxy? There was a post today about it. You download a free app from the market, setup a little tiny program on your pc. Tell the pc program where your music is and stream away. I am using it and it works great... I just used my Facebook login with it and it worked..

With this audiogalaxy is it possible to have music on my droid and send it to the gtab? and like remote control the music PLAYING on the gtab from the droid? cant seem to get any program to work the way i need/want it to. tried twonky but it wont recognize the gtab as a player when using the droid app on the droid. main goal is to be able to pretty much control music on the gtab while its plugged into speakers from across the room or anywhere in the house.
I hope someone can help, when I am on facebook and click on a youtube link i get an error saying this file type is not supported. I can view youtube videos fine when I am on the website, has anyone come across this before?

When you go to Youtube directly from your browser it pulls up the mobile version m.youtube.com
When you click a link through facebook- it takes you to the main site which does not work on the HD7 due to no flash.
its because facebook links to the desktop (www.) version of youtube, the youtube app adds support for the mobile (m.) version, when you click the facebook link you get directed to the desktop version as the app doesn't catch the link and redirect you to the mobile site.
You have to have both versions of the YouTube app installed. The version that came with the phone is what it tries to launch via links. The HTC version plays nicer quality vids.
So, I use the HTC version when I'm manually surfing YouTube, and the stock one installed so it will launch when I click a link.

except as pointed out by aaronhope1972 and myself the link catch doesn't work from 3rd party apps, which is what the OP was asking about. Personally I just wish they'd get flash ported and we'd not have this problem
Wow, had never tried that and just did.
Sucks.
Interestingly the People Hub Facebook integration part directs to m.youtube, which will subsequently work.
Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated. Its a pity about that.

Now that we have a working Flash for the Xoom, is it possible to mod one of the Hulu apps to work on the Xoom? I tried installing the one form SkyRaider from my Dinc. It installs and will even load but when you click on a video it doesn't run.
Any dev's that can weigh in on this would be great!
Hi
We have opened a testing request for the aplication "TV Shows Stream" and "Tv Shows Stream Lite"
The testing request thread is here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977194
And the main thread aplication is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903351
The aplication need flash player installed. It will play the videos from megavideo and other streaming site that are using jwplayer. The aplication is working fine in all 2.2 / 2.3 android flash capable tablets and in most of android devices with flash.
Any info will be welcome, thanks in adnvanced.
Downloaded the lite version from the market, the sound works, but the video doesn't show. Also, wanted to stay on track, any way to mod the Hulu apps?
Would Hulu work if you have flash player and then use the Browser in desktop mode (through hulu.com)?
I haven't gotten my Xoom yet so that's my pending theory right now.

No, Hulu will check your flash version which reports as android, so you have to fix that as well.
Also don't have my Xoom yet - but you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990676

Thanks... Hopefully I'll get mine this week or next week. That thread looked like it works pretty well.
Think using hulu this way would be better than paying for Hulu Plus
I just picked up the newest GearVR today and want to know how can I watch kodi on it. I have it on my phone but not sure how to work this thing yet.

Bubblepnp and sidebyside player. Might also need Gear VR pro to stop oculus auto loading

I would also be interested in this. Also... There are other apps that stream like show box or MovieHD... How could we watch videos from these?

Showbox content can be downloaded and transfered to another folder to access in Oculus video. Thats the only way I've found.
That's how i do it also, but it would be great to be able to watch without downloading

Yes, kodi can be configured for VR, there are alot of youtube videos showing how to set it up. Used it yesterday. Just takes practice. You will also need a Bluetooth controller. Good luck.

Guys. Just use MilkVr Launcher. + Emby Server. It let's you watch any movie (including 3D) through wifi network. For me It works fine.
https://github.com/heavykick/MilkVRLauncher/releases
I was testing kodi but for me MilkVr Launcher > Kodi in terms of usage and performance.
Can you describe it better? Milkvr asks me about some link. What link does it need?
Why do I need to install embe if Kodi exposes itself as DLNA server?
Buy a cheap bluetooth control pad off ebay to use as a mouse. Then get Cardboard Enabler from the play store or search online to disable oculus from auto starting on connection. Problem solved

MilkVr creates link inside of MilkVR folder so application thinks that film is inside folder.
Just follow the description on the github site it is very easy to do it and believe me. I have tried around 10+ solutions to watch videos on gear vr and in case of image quality nothing matches Milkvr.
If you have problems contact me on hangouts([email protected]) we can speak in Polish about it, will be much easier

Hi
of course you can use any DLNA-Server. You can also use a NAS or the Windows-DLNA ...
What does MilkVRLauncher do?
It forwards links to SamsungVR (was named MilkVR before) and that's it. So when you have a link to a video source you can start MilkVRLauncher and paste the link to forward it to SamsungVR.
But often you don't have the link to the video source, because Android internals pass the link to your VLC or VideoPlayer or may be to a download manager.
When Android does find more then one app that can take care about the link it will ask you which app to use, and this I did use because android knows that MilkVRLauncher can handle VideoLinks.
And this is the second way to get the link for the video source into my app. The most common way!
What's now about DLNA?
There is no DLAN client in the MilkVR launcher itself. But there a DLNA "Browsers" for Android available. Browsers that will pass the link to the video source to android, where android does ask you witch video player you want to use. And there we are!
Usable DLNA apps for Android are AnDLNA or BubbleUpnP ...
And why Emby?
If you don't have a NAS and want to use a media server this is one like each other. I did use it in the beginning, because you can use the Emby android app and chose external player where you can pick the milkVRLauncher.
And yes, you can also use links from internet pages and stream direct from the internet. But often the links on homepages are not direct links and we need direct links, because milkVrLauncher does not follow forwards
Any further questions? Just ask me!
you can download my app from GitHub.
The app is free and open source and everybody who want can join and help to make the app better.

With a USA IP from a VPN service , you coud install an app called Samsung Phone Cast. With this app, you coud use any app installed on your phone. This app is avaible on Oculus store, but only on USA users.
