THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR HELP, SPECIALLY TO "Xezuka" XDA MEMBER
------------------------------------
Hi,
We have been working on "tv shows stream" android aplication and we whoul'd really like to know if it is working properly under Motorola Xoom using android 3.0 stock .
This device is not being sold yet at Europe...and we can not wait to know if the aplication will work fine
You can find the full thread of our aplication here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903351
The lite version is free and you can find it on market by searching "TV Shows Stream"
Thanks in advanced for the testing, we will really apreciate.
what does you app do? is it just a streaming site client?
I thought it relied on flash support? If so, it no work ie until flash for honeycomb is available.

Not exactly.
I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search results are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
You can find a detailed description in the xda thread of the aplication:

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.
I just saw this video on youtube, but I'm kind of afraid to sideload this after the virus scare last week.
Vid
If it's legit, I'm totally loading it up.
[EDIT]The link goes to a Megaupload page and the file is called app.apk
Looks a little suspect to me, but they guy in the vid has the XDA app, so who knows.
This app needs flash i think? Basically searches for shows on video sites like megavideo, frogmovz, etc.
Your best bet for streaming TV and Movies on the XOOM is going to be PLEX, in my opinion.
IF you only have a Windows based computer to host the server on then you will only be able to stream what ever local content you have at present. The Windows based server for Plex is still very much a work in progress.
IF you have a Mac to host the server on then there are many plugin available such as Hulu and Netflix, to go along with local content.
At present PLEX will give you a video subsystem error if you attempt to play video on the XOOM. I know for a fact that the XOOM is being worked on by the PLEX devs, and we should have a working version out in the near future.
I will post here in the Xoom Apps section as soon as we have it ready for our lovely new toy.
tv shows
tv show streamer needs flash to work. you can find that in the market. Check out my youtube video on how to get free tv shows and movies

It works fine on my Evo 4G. Scanned with Lookout. All clear. Don't know if that means much but yeah. lol
It works like a charm too.
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.
The app looks and functions fine except it wont actually play a video.
It will give me the message "Megavideo will load in a few seconds, please wait" and then just sits there.
If I touch the menu button I get the option to "Close Browser". If I touch the screen, it shows the progress bar at the top and loads the Megavideo site.
If I use the Karambavidz link it plays sound, but no video.
Frogmovz gives me the message to "Tap play and let the video load", but there is nothing to tap. The screen is black.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
We are working in an update that will be released soon, probably before monday that allows karambavidz and loombo links to be played without using flash player, using the android native player. Those links should work fine.
For the other links, you can email yourself the link, copy it, and open it with "Dolphin HD" browser (free on market). It has been reported on Xoom forum that they can use the links if they use in this way. I know is not a good way to do it, but is a temporary workarround.
More info soon in the application thread, we are working right now on the update, its almost finished.
Regards
Hi
TV Shows Stream v3.0 has been updated now (the lite version will be updated on monday likely), clean the market cache if you dont see the update.
Karamabvidz and Loombo links can now be opend with external player. (the android native player, rock player, vplayer or any other that you have installed on your device.
We will be working on how to improve the other video links performance over xoom in the next weeks. For the other devices flash 10.2 is working fine. (flash 10.2 is beta for honeycomb) .
Please,, report if the karambavidz and Loombo links works fine on Xoom using "External players" option. Thanks in advanced.
regards
anyone try out jetflicks? Its pretty much a membership to a website, but many many different shows to choose from. They seem to keep up to date pretty well. Dont pay for the application its only a link to their website.

No issues yet. Its running flawlessly thus far! --xoom that is--
Great work and very timely!

1. goto icefilms.info
2. select a show
3. select a megaupload link (source #1,etc)
4. click Proceed to: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XXXXXXX
5. click on View on Megavideo

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!

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 downloaded VLC v0.0.2 from official XDA thread but it is not working.
The app starts and close instantly without any FC.
My purpose is for a new fresh app(and to play broken videos through some methods of possible)

I'm sure by now some people are playing around with Chrome Beta on android and it's Chromecast function.. if not, within Chrome Beta's Url type
chrome://flags/#enable-cast
Enable the option and restart browser for change to update. Haven't seen any posts on this yet...but not why I'm posting it now.. I've followed the instructions to a T. However, the Chromecast icon never appears in any video... can someone post a link to a video that know works so I can figure out if it's me or just the ultra beta nature of it?

I am yet to successfully stream a video using Chrome Beta. Chromecast icon only shows while in fullscreen video mode, it connects, but doesn't stream. Maybe others had more luck with it.
Huh, thanks for the info... in the videos I've seen and or articles I've read no one bothered to mention that..
Though I thought I saw a YouTube of the icon appearing in chrome while viewing video while it was embedded....It was late and I was tired..could be wrong.
Google admits it to being pre-beta so I'm not complaining...just would like one working example...
I've gotten it to work several times on my Nexus 10, but it can be a little finicky. Confirmed on only showing the icon in full screen mode.

I had to remove the Beta and go back to the original because the Beta for some reason wouldn't work with Plex.tv
Works great for me but sadly it doesn't support flash. But playing mobile videos it works great. I used it the other to watch Naruto.

chrome beta update 3/12/14
Since the update Wednesday 3/12/14 I have been able to stream some web videos from my phone. Videos that have commercials at the beginning only stream the commercial but not the video content itself, it seems to crash and then prevent the video from playing have to close tab and enter the web site again. A video that has no commercials and goes straight to content loads and streams fine. It appears that streaming resets the video to the start when you switch over to Chromecast. This will work great once all bugs get fixed and websites use HTML5
