I tried this with high profile mkv and it played, except a slight audio/video sync.
which i was not able to play in rock player. Another alternate is arcmedia, but it din't have any control like this one.

Works great...my new default video player.

Yep, that is how I discovered no accleration. I had a short period of time where a combination of TnT Lite, Clem kernel and Rockplayer resulted in high def wmv files playing smooth as butter with accleration. Now HW mode with those files causes the device to crash- stock player does it too.

Cool... looks like we can Load up Faverite Movies on the go .... and play them all
Have a nice one Bro.

The only thing I could throw at it that it wouldn't play were OGM files (deprecated by the Ogg folks some time back); everything else plays fantastically--even over my network.
New default player, bar none. At least until VLC is released.

Player is good as it plays AVC+AC3, however as it is not accelerated it stutters a lot. But as AVC is not playable at all in rockplayer, or Arcplayer this is an improvement. What does the pay version add?

Vitalplayer install probs
Odd. Install unsuccessful from both Market and Appbrain. Also with APKinstaller from apk on sd2. Running vegan 5.1. Thoughts?

reboot your system and try installing it, current version is 1.2.0 and its running fine for me.

It appears to be a market issue. I had the app installed but when I went to re-install it after a complete wipe for TNT lite 4.2.0 I was able to see the app but not install it. error code -18. none of the fixes seem to work so I am blaming the market as the issue.

Nope. Installation remains unsuccessful. Will try the Market fix and see it that does it.

Even after the market fix - using 3 different build.prop(s) I have been unable to get this app to re-install. I definitely think this is a google market issue not an end user issue.

Sideloading is fine, I think something wierd is happening in the market though.
Thanks.

Agreed. Tried several methods to install to no avail. Will try in the future as its not a priority right now. thanks

cool. gonna give this player a try. if it can really play 720p high profile vids, that will be EPIC. cuz right now on rockplayer, the video will play with the audio sounding fine but the video is super laggy. still wanna be able to play video files without having to convert first. that is my dream.

Tune in Radio Users - Please help

I have tune-in radio app ( pro ) and I have an avid user of CNN Newsroom station - http://tunein.com/radio/CNN-s20407/ - its the exact one on TV
This used to work over 3G but now only works on Wi-Fi
I am with Rogers running ICS ( results are same with older ROMS ), same issue with another friend who has Captivate
I thought it was Rogers blocking it but it works on my friends iPhone ( with Rogers ) and I for the life of me cannot figure it out
My workaround is to use VPN but I get lot of disconnections
Can some AT & T'ers and Canadians try this on their phone and let me know please
iPhone used to have a s/w called VOIP over 3G, which tricked it by making the phone think its on Wi-Fi while on 3G. Is there any such s/w for Android?

Please, its a free download..can someone just try and let me know

Works fine for me on at&t CM9 ICS Build 17 w Glitch 14b5
Don't know what to tell you

Same for me in Montreal. All radios are working on 3G but CNN Newsroom (and CNN News Update) still won't connect.
Will check later at home on Wifi.
TuneIn RadioPro v4.0
EDIT1: On wifi I do get feeds but not 3G.
EDIT2: Tried the Free version and can only connect to CNN News update on 3G but the CNN Situation Room is still not connecting. I think the feed being 32k wma might have something to do with it.
EDIT3: Yep wma is the culprit. Every stream that was wma either 32k,50k or 64k could not open over 3G but were fine under Wifi. As nothing to do with TuneIn being Pro or not.

If it works its because the stream it is either AAC or MP3 format. For what i read Android does not support Windows Format (wma,wmv). It does not have the licensed codec to play it so that's why it does not work.

Actually I got it working if I use US VPN, so is this still an wma/androidissue?

Corporate WiFi filters out radio or other streams - to reduce charges. So testing at home is the best.
WMA streaming didn't work for me in non-IE browsers.
Can't u use Pandora Radio?
Another thing - CNN sux, provides bunch of official U.S. government or partisan lies. Can't u find alternative more interesting source?

The only thing i see is that the protocol used may have something to do with how the app sees the stream. It works via wifi (there goes my theory about wma not being supported) so there are no reason for 3G not to work.
VPN can be considered similar to Wifi since it uses the ip protocol to establish the tunneling and might be seen as "Wifi" link.
Is it a android issue ?... i'm no longer sure.

Pandora doesnt have CNN, in addition to not being available to Canadians. I can make it work with VPN but then might as well listen to CNN with that
I don't mind listening to propaganda FOX, direct me to a link ( same as their TV news )

I'm looking for something just the other way 'round. A wifi-only option, I noticed iOs has an advanced option panel, but can't seem to find on the free android version

Throw not playing video files

My Xperia Z (stock rom, rooted, cwm) works perfectly with sending music or photos to my Samsung TV B series via throw.
When i try to play any of my video files from Xperia Z to my TV, the video playback not works at all for ANY video formats....
I get the message "CANNOT PLAY VIDEO"
I search via net and find a solution to turn phone off and back on but not working for me...
Any solution to fix it?
Thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem since the begining, the very first time I tried it, it worked just great with all the sample videos. But to be honest after I rebooted the phone for the first time it never worked again. Music and Photo's work fine. The phone will now not throw to any of my DLNA devices for video, regardless of format.
I have just tried something out of curiousity, will report back if it helps anything

Try playing the files on your tv via a usb stick. They play, the fone is ****ed. They dont play, the tv is ****.

This may be a dumb suggestion but i'll still go ahead with it :silly:
Have you tried hitting play on the video from phone, i'm saying this cos i had the same problem but then hitting play on the phone loaded the video on to the TV.

What are you talking about??? The transport is DLNA, so will only work with media that is supported by DLNA. As said here already stupid idea, if you read the posts you will discover that at least for me it worked the very first time I tried it with video.
What I have been testing are files that worked before, nothing changed, and formats supported by the TV and DLNA, so not sure where you come up with (unknown) I don't believe anyone mentioned that.
Have you got it working?

[HOWTO] Chromecast Mirroring (screen mirroring)

Hello everyone,
So I got my Google Chromecast today and after a bit of messing around I found this cool neat feature that allows you to mirror your entire display to the chromecast device.
This is how you do it.
1) In Google chrome browser on your computer click the Google cast extension and then click the little arrow in the extension and select "cast entire screen (experimental) I've attached a screenshot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) after completing step one select your chromecast device and walla you see your screen on your TV
This seems to be an experimental feature so let me know how it works for you, so far I've tested it on my Linux Mint 15 laptop and it works nicely there is a minor delay but at least its something

Nice Find!!
It would be great if the audio also worked it streams xbmc great but not audio

FYI: Need Chrome Beta for this to show.

This is really cool, nice find.
I hope audio works through this in the future!

Make video please

Chrome beta allows you to shoot to your tv? I am looking for the option but dont see it !

Do you see the arrow in the upper right corner when you press the chromecast button in chrome?

lol my TV IS my computer monitor actually. I just use the Chromecast for when I dont want to start up my pc ,,,but I will check shortly

You can cast just audio from that menu too.

How good is the screen mirroring? If it works well with no lag, I may use this to cast some PC games to the TV!

Have yet to try a game but there is definitely lag, (~ a half a second?) just scrolling the web page but audio is good, video is good, and the audio/video sync seems to be fine.
Right now I'm casting Google Play Music from my average, 1 year old, Toshiba laptop, to my cheap-ass, Insignia TV, listening to Taj Mahal tear-up the guitar.

oh, fair enough.
i don't think it's any laggier than the tab projection so you should look up videos of that on youtube for an idea.

There is a half a sec up to 2 sec lag so I don't think it's suitable for gaming unless someone finds a way to lower the lag somehow.
Also I use the stable version of chrome on Linux and it works so I don't know maybe for windows the beta version of chrome is needed.
The biggest down side for me is that audio is not working in the desktop cast mode

it doesnt even work for me.the CC doesnt respond to me clicking the cast entire screen (im on chrome stable)

Well when I use Netflix off my phone there is a real slight delay and it takes a few seconds after that for the proper resolution to kick in.. So if your game is lag dependant like a shooter etc.. I would be hesitant

[CHROME-EXTENSION] Thundercast

I'm writing an extension to send various contents from the web to the chromecast. If you are brave enough you can give it a try.
Update 0.8 (the new version is taking shape)
Major changes: new name. : )
Minor changes: the UI is more conventional but is the result of the code simplification and allows avoiding some operations, like javascript injections.
To install the extension you have to drag and drop the crx file in the extensions tab (chrome://extensions)
If you use the stable channel of chrome, google will likely block the extension soon after the first restart of the browser. In that case, to use it further, I suggest installing chrome canary.

Basically it forces the use of the cast API so your pc won’t act as the server of the video but only as the remote controller, mimic the behavior of youtube in websites that don’t support chromecast.

Does that have any advantages? I notice that often, casting the entire tab of a screen playing a video makes it tough on my Chromecast whereas the Youtube implementation works pretty smoothly. Does using your version make it smoother?

It should, as the extension is telling Chromecast to go grab the media directly, rather than your PC trying to encode from the screen and send the (re)encoded video to Chromecast.

Did anyone try it ?

its working good
but i also have to have the cc extensionn running to cast directly to cc
would be nice if that is automatic

I tried at yify.tv, doesn't work, extension always fail to transfer source to chromecast with the red ! sign on the extension icon.

While thundercast is enabled you should see a big, ugly button over the videos. It will cast the video if chromecast support its format, otherwise you can always download it.
Btw, i'm rewriting the extension from scratch and will be very different. My intention is to release it in the store, but it's not going to happen soon.
Maybe this thread can be closed, but i have a thing for the user of xda i'd like to share when the new version is ready.

This version seem fantastic. I hope it reduce the lag that official chromecast extension give in flash video on chrome.

About the store, I haven’t decided yet. There are some (few) things I want to improve before but I'm having issues with the chromecast. It has such a poor wifi reception I have to carefully position the tv to get it work and, in these days, with the heat, things seem even worse. It’s becoming a bit frustrating…

An HDMI extension (if the included one isn't sufficient) can do wonders for getting Chromecast away from the TV and into a better reception zone. Even a 3-foot (1-meter) cable can help tremendously. TVs are very bad with signal reflection and interference.

Is live streaming websites supported by this extension? I tried to use it with livestation no luck
Also tried it with file drive and did not see cast icon

Where do we get this extension
WHere do we download this extension, I do not find it on the Chrome Extension site???
