Ok I'm fairly new to the Streak7, I use Flixster to stream on my Infuse that is rooted by using the temp root remover app. Now I was trying to do the same thing with my Streak7 but it does not seem to work.
I am running a Streak7 4G on the official Honeycomb ROM it is just rooted and some system apps removed that I didn't want taking up space. I would be willing to unrooted completely if I need to.
Sent from a tablet using an app.
Also everything on Flixster's website and trouble shooting guide says I should be working unless the temp root remover tool is not removing it enough for the app to work.
Any help would be appreciated

'UV' streaming Movies & Flixster??
Does anybody reading this have Flixster & "UltraViolet" streaming moives working on their Streak-7 3.2?
By the lack of response, I would say that you and I are the only two interested in trying.
I have even talked (emailed) back and forth with flixster/ultraviolet.

From what I can gather their software is expecting the Streak-7 to only have 2.X software as the video driver is different in 3.X??

There are at least two to consider, maybe more. Dell Stage Remote App is one and Emit which needs software on your PC to be installed.

I'm curious why Hulu isn't supporting the android tablets yet... everything is supported except our tablets
I've seen alot of posts here for people trying to make it work, but that's it... nothing official
so is there a reason that we know of?
It is interesting there's a hulu app for the Kindle.

To make it work on the http though, don't the xoom need to have a hacked flash apk?

So what if there's no support for hulu. Pretty sure someone made it possible for xoom users to watch hulu on the browser. I did it awhile ago and the steps are really easy if you have rooted your xoom.

Well that's the problem... if it's rooted
why do I have to root my phone to do something that it should do from the start?
my atrix which runs a very similar OS can run hulu. it's the same damn thing almost...
or my gf. she won't know the R of Root if she wanted to root her tablet to watch family guy on hulu...

Yes, It seems that Google now lets you use the Movie/TV app while Rooted.

Does anyone buy or rent new Movie/TV from Play Store?
After you bought, can you play video?
My rooted Xperia Play cannot play video, so my Nexus 7 does not root.
I'm pretty sure you can play movies /w root because of the encryption scheme in jellybean. I'm guessing that the actual videos get encrypted as app data. Root or no root, I doubt they can be copied off the device and played.
Honestly, I have a lot of respect for google in this regard....they are the only company that has figured out a way to allow users to tinker with their devices and still uphold whatever the copyright holders and developers want...don't get me wrong though, i HATE drm. Google is awesome for figuring out a solution that makes both sides happy.
I bought the season of Breaking Bad since rooting my Nexus7.No problems with purchase or playing it.Transformers plays great just as before rooting.I am stock JB except for the rooting process.
Yes you can use the Movies/TV app now.. i just bought a TV Ep the other day and it streamed just fine from the cloud.. i don't know about on my Gnex or other rooted devices
EDIT: Looks like its still not working on other devices.. just tried watching the same episode i bought on my Nexus 7 on my gnex and it kept saying " can't fetch license 901"

That's interesting. I wonder if it's actually a hardware thing after all? Well for other devices you can just use the Temp Unroot feature in the Superuser app. I've been testing this feature and it's worked flawlessly. Flixster streams Movies fine when enabled and so does Google Movies on my other devices.

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)

The stand alone sling app is hard to find. Here is a link to the one I use.

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.

Hi,

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?

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.

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

Nope, it will work fine without root. Just don't expect miracles with Fling. It can run mp4 videos fine but MKV's and AVI's are a mess. The transcoder used is complete crap and unless you are running a beast PC and don't want 1080p video you will be ok, otherwise those file types are unplayable as is. MP4 streaming works because it doesn't need to be transcoded. It's just being played natively on the Chromecast.

Stream local unsupport content yes. Mp4 files will work fine. So will Mp3's. Just not AVI's. I think AVI's are causing the most problems actually. MKV's can get playback but it's so laggy and quality of picture is very low. AVI's just seem like they wont play. Still this device has been out for about a month now. You can't expect hacked features like this to be complete. If you buy a Chromecast now you are buying it for what it will do not what it can do.
