the closes that i have got was Gmote but they open it in there own player..
i wanna open and play it thought vlc
would be better to use wifi but bluetooth is ok 2

Estrongs file explorer for both WiFi and BT.
Use search before using "new post", it helps.

By far the slickest way of controlling media on your pc or xbox1 or Linux box...
Install XBMC
Get XBMC remote from Google Code
It's superb.

Honeycomb Music player available

Droid Life has posted the .apk for the upcoming Honeycomb (Android 3.0) Music player. I have tested it on the G-Tablet (running TNT Lite 3.12) and on my Droid 2 and it works great. Please keep in mind that not all features are working yet...it is still a work in progress.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/27/download-honeycomb-music-player-from-google-io/

yeah i saw this too on droid-life since i look at that site every couple mins as i do with this site, been watching that site for years. that music app does look like its going to be some great stuff once its completed.

Can anyone be kind enough to host the file somewhere else, I've trie to download the .apk on my tablet and pc and the file dosnt download correctly
TIA

Downloads ok on my advent Vega.
Beamed from my sweet Galaxy S with doc's jpo v9 zenkinz oc and R64s theme.

Yeah, I had problems downloading from my Droid 2 as well... I had to connect to the PC as Mass Storage and download it that way instead.

Here is another link

I bet the streamed music has to do with Googles purchase of simplified media. I used it back in my iPhone days and it allowed me to stream my whole iTunes library to other computes or my phone.
Thanks for sharing.

Have you guys looked at Audiogalaxy? There was a post today about it. You download a free app from the market, setup a little tiny program on your pc. Tell the pc program where your music is and stream away. I am using it and it works great... I just used my Facebook login with it and it worked..

With this audiogalaxy is it possible to have music on my droid and send it to the gtab? and like remote control the music PLAYING on the gtab from the droid? cant seem to get any program to work the way i need/want it to. tried twonky but it wont recognize the gtab as a player when using the droid app on the droid. main goal is to be able to pretty much control music on the gtab while its plugged into speakers from across the room or anywhere in the house.

Is it listed when you open Gear VR Service? You should be able to open it there. It will ask you to insert your device, if it installed properly, when you open it.

It should be there in vr service. Are you sure you haven't debloated any important stuff?

Updated to 1.46.

No need to root or install special ROM
No need to root or install special ROM
1. install MillkVR App from link provided by Great Dr. Ketan
2. install "Gala launcher for Gear VR" from google playstore
3. open Gala launcher and from its menu select MilkVR from Apps
4. Enjoy Milk VR with original samsung ROM. No need to root or install third-party ROM

But why that launcher also requires?
After simple installation of milkvr apk it should appear with oculus vr menu.

Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for the apk. I managed to make it run with included videos but i failed running an mkv file in MilkVR folder as i only managed a mp4 to play. Is there a way to play 2D or 3D mkv files in DTS/AC3 with the gear vr ? I though milkvr was the solution but apparently not.

Yes you can I can watch any movies on my gear VR.
You need to make folder for me I put in External SD card set like this..
Oculus/Movies/3D
if you want to play normal movie just put the files on Movies folder..
if you want to watch 3d movies put it in 3D folder the file should be HSBS or side by side only.

about 3d movies

i got a question about playing 3d movies on the gear vr...i saw lots of tutorials how to watch them and this thing really got me confused.....so after u convert the videos and all you can watch them using the player inside the oculus apk by having the cinema(etc) background .why cant it be played by not connecting the phone to the gear usb or by using package disabler and be full screen ? i'm sorry if this is a dumb question but i really want to know......

You can do as you say but the aspect will be all wrong in most apps. You can adjust the pixel ratio within Kodi to compensate but this will use your VR as simply a 3D viewer (no vr theatre). If you want to view your movie full screen in 2D from your phone directly, use Kodi ( Isangard downloaded from kodi website- Jarvais version from Play Store doesn't work) and select view 3D movies as 2D/monoscopic.

im more than happy using kodi to view 3d files after adjusting the settings.

If I helped, please use the thanks button. ?

I don't do tutorials because I suck at them but I have put together a small video to explain this for you. Basically setup kodi to your viewing liking and insert it in your gear VR (or not).

Thank you very much for that.
I did all that. But when I put my phone in it opens up oculus app.

Gear VR Service has to be disabled first. If your phone is rooted then you can just freeze it. If you are not rooted you can use a package disabler from the play store. (Use search). If you just want to try it out first just lift the USB port on the gear vr and sneak your phone under it - a little loose, but works.

Ace that's great thank you. I have a package disabler already that I use to stop the game stuff running as the picture is crap!! Thank you ever so much. I know what I'll be doing tonight ?

I use MilkVR to watch all 3D movies. If you dont live in the US dl it though a proxyserver.

so milk vr is like oculus cinema cause i try to see my own movies and the oculus video said to put through the camera, i dont know if oculus put it up from the sd card of sg7?

how can i watch kodi??

I just picked up the newest GearVR today and want to know how can I watch kodi on it. I have it on my phone but not sure how to work this thing yet.

Bubblepnp and sidebyside player. Might also need Gear VR pro to stop oculus auto loading

I would also be interested in this. Also... There are other apps that stream like show box or MovieHD... How could we watch videos from these?

Showbox content can be downloaded and transfered to another folder to access in Oculus video. Thats the only way I've found.

That's how i do it also, but it would be great to be able to watch without downloading

Yes, kodi can be configured for VR, there are alot of youtube videos showing how to set it up. Used it yesterday. Just takes practice. You will also need a Bluetooth controller. Good luck.

Guys. Just use MilkVr Launcher. + Emby Server. It let's you watch any movie (including 3D) through wifi network. For me It works fine.
https://github.com/heavykick/MilkVRLauncher/releases
I was testing kodi but for me MilkVr Launcher > Kodi in terms of usage and performance.

Can you describe it better? Milkvr asks me about some link. What link does it need?
Why do I need to install embe if Kodi exposes itself as DLNA server?

Buy a cheap bluetooth control pad off ebay to use as a mouse. Then get Cardboard Enabler from the play store or search online to disable oculus from auto starting on connection. Problem solved

MilkVr creates link inside of MilkVR folder so application thinks that film is inside folder.
Just follow the description on the github site it is very easy to do it and believe me. I have tried around 10+ solutions to watch videos on gear vr and in case of image quality nothing matches Milkvr.
If you have problems contact me on hangouts([email protected]) we can speak in Polish about it, will be much easier

Hi
of course you can use any DLNA-Server. You can also use a NAS or the Windows-DLNA ...
What does MilkVRLauncher do?
It forwards links to SamsungVR (was named MilkVR before) and that's it. So when you have a link to a video source you can start MilkVRLauncher and paste the link to forward it to SamsungVR.
But often you don't have the link to the video source, because Android internals pass the link to your VLC or VideoPlayer or may be to a download manager.
When Android does find more then one app that can take care about the link it will ask you which app to use, and this I did use because android knows that MilkVRLauncher can handle VideoLinks.
And this is the second way to get the link for the video source into my app. The most common way!
What's now about DLNA?
There is no DLAN client in the MilkVR launcher itself. But there a DLNA "Browsers" for Android available. Browsers that will pass the link to the video source to android, where android does ask you witch video player you want to use. And there we are!
Usable DLNA apps for Android are AnDLNA or BubbleUpnP ...
And why Emby?
If you don't have a NAS and want to use a media server this is one like each other. I did use it in the beginning, because you can use the Emby android app and chose external player where you can pick the milkVRLauncher.
And yes, you can also use links from internet pages and stream direct from the internet. But often the links on homepages are not direct links and we need direct links, because milkVrLauncher does not follow forwards
Any further questions? Just ask me!
you can download my app from GitHub.
The app is free and open source and everybody who want can join and help to make the app better.

With a USA IP from a VPN service , you coud install an app called Samsung Phone Cast. With this app, you coud use any app installed on your phone. This app is avaible on Oculus store, but only on USA users.
