Typical EA bull****. I fully regret giving them my 99 cents for Bejeweled 2. I should have pirated it. Especially since it doesn't run on my Tab.
Hey everyone,
I just signed up for a free trial of Netflix a couple days ago and found the content on the Canadian site was somewhat lacking, it's getting there but the US site still has lots more content currently. I know there was some ways to get the US site up here so I did some research and ended up trying to choose between http://www.unotelly.com and one of their competitors, called unblock-us. Being the typical cheapskate I looked over the features and costs for both services. Unotelly came in ahead with some extra features and a slightly lower cost. For the same slightly higher cost as the competitor's service they will throw in VPN access as well. I am currently on their free 8-day trial and it has been working flawlessly thus far, I set it up on my router so all my devices are able to access region locked content, including my beloved Xoom which I must say has a great interface for Netflix.
Check it out if you are want US Netflix in Canada(or I guess any non US country for that matter).

Wrong site to ask those types of questions (Rule 6). Buy them, it'll make you feel better
So I recently bought a chromecast and now I am looking for apps to use with it. Avia caught my eye so I will try to buy it however are there any free or useful apps to use with Chromecast. My chromecast isnt rootable so I guess I will use officially supported apps only. My main purpose for chromecast was to stream locally stored mp3s on my phone to my TV and home theather so are there any other apps that will do the job. Also do suggest any free alternatives or ways to get Avia support for free since google wallet isnt supported in my country even though paying 3 dollars for an app isnt much trouble.

I'm not aware of any free apps, maybe Google play music ? I don't know.
Avia does support streaming mp3s and stuff , I've used it myself from my dlna server.

Well yeah I am aware of Avias capabilities and have also used Google Music but Google Music manager isnt supported for my country yet again so I cant use that. Avia seems like the best option for me but because it requires me to use a google wallet account it may be impossible to buy it in my country.

You could subscribe to plex pass through their website , which doesn't use Google play and the app is free to download, but you need a plex pass account.
4usd a month or 75usd lifetime.

FWIW, Plexing to Chromecast will be available to non-pass members once it is out of early access stage.

Oh, only saw him state that he can't use Google wallet, they accept credit cards too, or do they region lock those too? Maybe contact Plex and see what they can do, they are usually pretty accommodating.
I'm currently using Plex Media Server on my desktop to host my music (app is free for the PC) and then use Avia on my phone or tablet to access the Plex Media Server and stream to my chromecast on my home theater. Its a good work around until chromcast features are free on Plex.

If he can't use wallet he may issues with aVia too...Doesn't it require an In App purchase to get the Chromecast support?
I'm betting that purchase goes through Google...
Oh yea good point Asphyx!

Yes, it does. Mine got declined at first till I figured out it was using an credit card that was stolen and had been changed.

Avia is on Amazon App Store too, and that version should use Amazon's in-app purchase rather than Google Wallet.
Can you get Google Wallet to activate using a Google Play redemption code, rather than credit card, or is it completely unsupported for your country?
Seems the first purchase (even a $0.00 purchase) requires adding some funds either through credit card or Google Play redemption code.
I can use amazon but Avia requires an in app purchase which is only available through google wallet. And Plex is the same story since its only available on the app store and not on amazon. I hate that google restricts regions like this. This is exactly the same reason why I had to buy my Nexus 5 for about $500 rather than for $450 through the google store.

Uninstall the Play Store version and install the Amazon version. The Amazon version uses Amazon's in-app purchase which does not require Google Wallet. It would be it required Google Wallet it would be fairly pointless to have it on Amazon.

I see "Plex for Android ($4.99)" on Amazon.
Yeah I guess when I searched the entire Amazon store I didnt find it, I looked harder and found it in the dedicated section for apps. Will give it a try though. However which one do you think would be better. I did manage to find a way to get Avia as well, through a friend's credit card living in the US.

It really depends on what your media library looks like.
In actuality they aren't head-to-head competitors much at all.
Avia is better if...
All your media is in a Chromecast-compatible format, or you are willing to convert it to a Chromecast-compatible format
You have a lot of media on your phone/tablet that you want to play and is Chromecast-compatible
You have a DLNA server that is not a Plex server and you want to cast content from it
You don't want to have a media server running (you don't have a server, or a system you're willing to have running for media playback)
Plex is better if...
Your media is not in a Chromecast-compatible format or you have no idea what that means
You have no clue what transcoding means, or you know what transcoding means, but you are unwilling to transcode your media library to make it Chromecast-compatible
You are okay with running Plex Media Server on a system for media playback
You have multiple playback devices (Roku, etc) that you use
Note that Chromecast support for Plex is currently limited to PlexPass members, but is planned to be released to the general public later.
I could be mistaken, but I believe someone said they use Avia to cast from Plex Media Server?
That actually made things really easy, Avia is the choice for me since I mostly only play mp3s and have my library stored on my Nexus 7 or 5. I wanted to ask, if I use a friend's credit card from the US and buy the app on my account would I be able to use the app outside the US or would I be able to download it on my device while staying in my country which doesnt support google wallet services.

Well if your only trying to stream content on the unit I do not see how location restrictions apply.
Apps aren't usually the reason for locations restrictions, The Content that the App makes available is usually why it's here but not there!
and it should be pointed out to everyone who complains about Google not making things available outside of US that is usually because of Import restrictions the EU has enacted not because Google doesn't want to make it available or can't!
So if you buy the App I see no reason why where you use it is going to be an issue especially since your intention is to stream your own content.

Yes this is what I do currently until the Plex app's chromecast feature works for free.
