Eyecon + XBMC = Awesome!!

I just set this up last night and have to say I was really impressed! I now have a complete media control device. If you have XBMC setup on your HTPC or Xbox, you just enable UPnP in XBMC settings, side load Eyecon on the Gtab (if you can't find it in Market), register or login as Guest and fire it up. It will automatically detect your media devices as long as they are able to share media. No need to enter IP addresses and ports, etc. Setup was easy.
The interface is great as it shows you 4 different panes for Search, Results, Play, and Plug (playlists). No need to use the XBMC remote to fight through menus to find your content. Don't get me wrong, I still like the official XBMC remote and will continue to use it for fine tuning, but Eyecon makes playing media easier and more high tech. Check it out.

I couldn't get it to work on PS3. Issues getting UPnP to come up as enabled on the PS3. Anyone else try it?

Is there any VNC applications that you use on the galaxy tab?

Do you guys use any VNC app (or anything similar) that will allow you to connect to your PC remotely from anywhere in the world? (outside your home)
Please provide the link.
Thanks.

RealVNC , LogMeIn, TeamViewer and Phone My PC all work fine for me. RealVNC was 50% off recently and still might be.
TeamViewer is the only free app out of the ones I listed here.

I like Pocketcloud.

Do you think it is better than the apps that was posted by the person above/before ( kable ) you?

I have used Pocket Cloud and it is pretty good. I am about to try Tonido as it seems to offer more flexibility by turning your Desktop into a personal cloud server. This allows you to share files by giving others a simple URL that they can download a file from. You can stream media to your device also.
Both are free and in the market.

Edited to add:
Tonido gives you a list of files on your computer and uses (I think) the built in editor to make changes.
The media is limited to mp3 and photos.
Looks clean and secure, check it out!

I use android-vnc-viewer.works well
I also gave droid vnc server instaled....

I use Teamviewer all the time. Simple and very reliable

RealVNC and TeamViewer, both of them are good!

I use PocketCloud with Remote Desktop enabled on my Windows computer. It works perfectly. I love how PocketCloud has that little cursor to make clicking easier. I also used LogMeIn for a while but you need a yearly subscription and you also need to buy the prohibitively priced LogMeIn Ignition for your phone.

i use Android VNC; so far so good. It works with RealVNC and other vnc server. Not sure about teamviewer; it work well on PC but mine got problem with Android. And I think cannot get Free Teamviewer apps for Android.

US TV show apps

Im going crazy!
I am a big fan of US tv series and would love the Dexter app that Showtime give out for free. The problem is its region restricted and I cannot download the apk.
Same is true of the AMC and HBO general show apps!
So damn annoying! These are free apps but you have to be in the us to download them.
Would any kind American out there be able to host these files so I can download them?
I will be extremely grateful

Someone here could probably put them on multiupload.com......

If you could make a list of the apps you would like, I could try to get them for you

Fantastic
The free apps I would love are:-
http://www.appbrain.com/app/dexter/com.showtime.dexter
http://www.appbrain.com/app/hbo/com.hbo.android.activity
http://www.appbrain.com/app/amc-mobile/com.amctv.mobile
They are all region controlled so only available to the US for download.
So annoying!
If someone could put this on host with multiupload or whatever that would be perfect and really appreciated

Here you go buddy, hope they work:
Download

They probably would try to check for location even on starting.
A workaround is to use fake location apps. from the Market. Once you set the fake US location you can download and stream from any country.

Sorry to hijack but is there a way to watch shows like True Blood and Dexter without having a subscription to HBO or Showtime?

The best and legal way to do it is to stream it. There is an android app called amo Navi-x that will do that for you. On your computer you can use XBMC or Boxee with the respective Navi-x app.

Jgaf!
A million thanks to you sir!
Strangely the HBO app wont work on my Nook but it works on my phone. Apart from that all great.
Really appreciate your help there )
As for seeing the shows, personally I download them ^
They do show on Norwegian tv but always much later than in the US and I prefer watching them at a time that suits me also.
I have a media box that plays every media format and watch them in HD from that on my big screen.

I got the app and downloaded an episode of True Blood but it doesn't play well with Mobo. The audio isn't sync'd with the video and it only plays for about a minute and then cuts off. Bummer.

It gets illegal whe you share the file, meaning when you uploaded it or are sharing (i.e. torrents). Watching a streaming video is legal, the only one breaking the law is the person who uploaded and maybe the server owner where it is.

Streaming music from external hd to n7 via router?

Hi,
After a little help as per the title I wonder if it's possible to play my music collection which is currently stored on an external hd connected to my home router on my N7 without the need for my laptop to be turned on etc
Using an explorer app on the N7 I can see and access the music how I want as above, but I have to manually select the folders and tracks to then play each time rather than it already been catalogued within the player?
Is there a player or an app that can do this to make my collection available please?

Yeah, sorry I didn't quite make things clear, the music is on a Lan based port via my wifi router, using es explorer I can see and play a track at a time, with the bs player suggested above I can play albums etc, but its library function is awful

I'm thinking this is a common limitation. I can see and play music on a thumbdrive via OTG, but have yet been able to find a way to play more than one song at a time even if I set the player to Random.:crying:

If the external HD is connected up to your computer, you can upload your songs to google play music, which lets you stream your music to anything that has the app installed. Install the uploader on the computer and the app on the PC, very useful and works very well over 3G/HSPA. Linked it below for you.
Google play music

Thanks, I had a look at that, but I have a crap broadband where I live and it would take months to upload my music collection

What router do you use?
Try putting OpenWRT on it if possible, and set up a dlna server (minidlna) with your collections.
You can access them afterwards with your N7 using any dlna app you like (UPnPlay or even xbmc)

Yeah, there's a standalone Windows desktop app. Last I checked it was still available on their website, although I don't think it's supported anymore.

No go for sling box 500. If so I have to be in the same network and to do that I would have to go from Vegas to San Diego. Hopefully they get android support soon or at least CC supports whatever the online streaming users Microsoft silver light or something like that. Thanks for the info though.

Facebook has a Sling webapp that works on Linux through Flash, should work... keyword should, but you never know

The stand alone sling app is hard to find. Here is a link to the one I use.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20708654/SlingPlayer-2.0.3508-Setup-US.exe
I prefer it over the web apps. You can force it to stream HD and that is nice.
BTW, don't take any upgrade that the app offers or it won't work any more.

Confirmed the FB app for slingplayer worked for me.

Hi,
I was reading through the feeds from this thread and followed to download the stand alone app for slingplayer.
Got the stand alone slingplayer to install and actually can see my slingboxes.
Now - I've looked everywhere on the slingplayer to be able to "cast" it using chromecast but sorry, I can't find any option to do that.
The slingplayer version I got is 2.0.3.508
Any help please to further explain to a rookie?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you have the Chromecast extension installed in Chrome Browser.
Click the cast button in the browser and you will see a little gray drop-down arrow.
In there click Cast Entire Screen.

So I started the standalone Slingplayer, got the video I needed showing already on my laptop, went back to my Chrome browser, then onto Chromecast icon just next to the url field. No gray drop down arrow to indicate option for clicking Cast Entire Screen.

For some reason, I cannot stream using the embedded player. It connects and shows my slingbox 350 (with an amber/yellow light), but when I try to access it, it says "Unable to connect, please make sure your slingbox is on and connected..."
I can connect and stream using the normal watch.slingbox.com site, but as soon as I use the embedded, it doesn't work. I should also mention it works fine on my Nexus 4 and 7.
Any thoughts?

The announcement was today, finally, but guess what? No Solo or HD support. My Solo works perfectly - hate to buy another box. I wonder what the chances are of getting this app to work with legacy products... They claim on their website that the reason they couldn't add support was because the older boxes weren't capable. If they can stream to a Roku, they're definitely capable. I believe that about as much as I believe the original iPhone was not "capable" of sending MMS. I get that they're a business, but I hate when trying to force current customers to upgrade is so blatant.

Yep, Sling is lying.
I replaced my Slingbox in UK a year ago. They only sold the Solo and Pro HD then. Neither is supported now for Chromecast, despite these not yet being officially legacy
