just watched the MOTOcast feature in moto razr.. it looks cool.. will this thing availible for our xoom?
there is zumocast, it works with the xoom
Do u mean the apps in razr is zumacast ?
N, can the motocast connect between xoom n razr?
check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276410
you download the zumocast client on your pc and the app to your xoom and you can stream video and music from your pc to your xoom.
zumocast is made by motorola, so im thinking that motocast is the same thing, just rebranded.
will check it out. thx ! =)
Motocast is deeply integrated into the blur on the Razr. Unfortunately it isn't as simple as installing the apk. Zumocast is a standalone app while Motocast is integrated into the file manager, music app, etc.

zumocast is way different than motocast. motocast is like icloud, you can store you personals in cloud storage and sync or download with an approved device. zumo is just a remote streamer.
Now that Motocast is on the Xyboard will we see the native app for the Xoom?

I hope so. I use ZumoCast now but hopefully we see the apk pulled from the Xyboard and ported to the Xoom

this is actually not quite true. A cloud is still not involved. You have direct streaming from the host computer. Hence why your computer must be on. The difference between motocast and zumocast is the integrated nature of motocast. Where you can see your remote files within your file manager or pictures that are remote, within your gallery, etc.

Motocast for Tablets
Having now got a RAZR, I've installed Motocast on the PC, however, I've noticed that there's now an app on the market "Motocast for Tablets", so was wondering if anyone's tried this out on the Xoom.
I would try it myself, but kindly, Motorola have locked it off to the States only, so I can't get it.
I've been browsing around, but haven't been able to find the .apk anywhere, hence asking someone else to give it a go first!
Thanks in advance,

The marketplace says that it is incompatible with the Xoom.
Shame - seems like a lost opportunity. Here's hoping there's a motocast client when they release ICS for Xoom.
How about this ?

Yes..... but, if you look closely it does not list the Xoom as a compatable device.
I use ZumoCast by Motorola and it works for me.
Yes that was my point really.
I went off their apps when I installed Motoprint and that was only for US printers, what's that about.
I can't see the point in the app really, I can browse the files on my network with ES Explorer and play everything fine.
If I had to browse off the web, then surely you would need good wireless anyway ?
If its for the layout of albums etc, then I understand a bit I think.
Is there any way we can trick the market into thinking we have a Xoom 2 or something? Modification of the build.prop file perhaps?

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.

I have Hulu.com working on my Xoom.
Yeah, we have it on our fire and the ipad. No love for xoom
To make it work on the http though, don't the xoom need to have a hacked flash apk?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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...

Pretty sure because the Kindle is based off of Gingerbread and not Honeycomb.
Very good point. Maybe ICS will bring Hulu without having to root etc...

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.

Yes, It seems that Google now lets you use the Movie/TV app while Rooted.
I haven't bought anything else, but Transformers plays fine on my rooted Nexus 7.
Plays fine for me.

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.

Not talking about OTA Root Keeper. Temp Unroot is a separate feature in the Superuser app.

I got it to work from my laptop with the stand alone sling app. I used the cast whole screen option.
Hope the android app builds in native support!
Stand alone sling app? You mean something other than through the website streaming?

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.
Awesome I'll look into it when I get home thanks.

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.

I do have the Chromecast extension installed to my Chrome browser and still not too succesful.
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
