Im going crazy!
I am a big fan of US tv series and would love the Dexter app that Showtime give out for free. The problem is its region restricted and I cannot download the apk.
Same is true of the AMC and HBO general show apps!
So damn annoying! These are free apps but you have to be in the us to download them.
Would any kind American out there be able to host these files so I can download them?
I will be extremely grateful
Someone here could probably put them on multiupload.com......
If you could make a list of the apps you would like, I could try to get them for you
Fantastic
The free apps I would love are:-
http://www.appbrain.com/app/dexter/com.showtime.dexter
http://www.appbrain.com/app/hbo/com.hbo.android.activity
http://www.appbrain.com/app/amc-mobile/com.amctv.mobile
They are all region controlled so only available to the US for download.
So annoying!
If someone could put this on host with multiupload or whatever that would be perfect and really appreciated

Here you go buddy, hope they work:
Download
They probably would try to check for location even on starting.
A workaround is to use fake location apps. from the Market. Once you set the fake US location you can download and stream from any country.
Sorry to hijack but is there a way to watch shows like True Blood and Dexter without having a subscription to HBO or Showtime?
The best and legal way to do it is to stream it. There is an android app called amo Navi-x that will do that for you. On your computer you can use XBMC or Boxee with the respective Navi-x app.
Jgaf!
A million thanks to you sir!
Strangely the HBO app wont work on my Nook but it works on my phone. Apart from that all great.
Really appreciate your help there )
As for seeing the shows, personally I download them ^
They do show on Norwegian tv but always much later than in the US and I prefer watching them at a time that suits me also.
I have a media box that plays every media format and watch them in HD from that on my big screen.

I just looked at the Navi-X app and it's a little unclear. Does this allow you to download shows to the Nook or is it for streaming only?

I got the app and downloaded an episode of True Blood but it doesn't play well with Mobo. The audio isn't sync'd with the video and it only plays for about a minute and then cuts off. Bummer.
I use my Nook as a player for videos and have no issues with mp4 720p videos.

It gets illegal whe you share the file, meaning when you uploaded it or are sharing (i.e. torrents). Watching a streaming video is legal, the only one breaking the law is the person who uploaded and maybe the server owner where it is.

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?

Have you tried bsplayer? It worked for me for video, but I eventually went the manual route with es file exp due to other requirements I had

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

@OP:
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)

Gotcha. It was an .avi file (probably mpeg-2). So, I guess 400 hours of transcoding, here we go?

I've read on some other threads that you may have to set the resolution of your PC to get it to work. Try different display resolution settings. Also, try playing with the Chromecast settings within Chrome browser. There is a guide on this forum about how to access the settings.

Does the Plex Media Server work well? I am willing to try anything and everything until I'm satisfied with the results I see displayed on my TV..lol Does it stream in great quality that isn't choppy and laggy? That's really all I'm concerned about, is the choppiness and lagginess. I want a buttery smooth video on my TV. I'm assuming I'm getting the right thing... is this "Plex Media Server" a free app? I found this Windows version here... (www) dot plexapp dot (com) slash getplex slash is that the right page to get it from?

it works good for me. I saw some stutters if I tried to cast from the machine I have setup as the server but it was smooth from my MacBook pro. the quality was almost as good as I saw on the screen. you'll want to get the plex media server and yes its free. so just set it up with a couple movies to see how it works. Once you have it setup just visit the plex server URL from the computer you want to cast from and play the movie and cast. URL should be localserverip:32400/web.
UPDATE:
I tested this with an 8 yr old dell laptop and a an acer netbook and they couldn't handle play back so i know they wouldn't cast. I then tried my work laptop. It about 2yrs old so its more recent. On my 2.4ghz ssid (same one the CC is on) it was slightly choppy when I switched to my 5ghz ssid it was smooth. I'll play around some more and report anything else I find. I really encourage you just to try it. It only takes a few minutes to set up for you to see for yourself.
Just wanted to share this article from google about tab casting..If I saw this I wouldn't have set up all my old machines lol

Yesterday Plex released an update to their app and it still sas that chromecast is only for plexpass members however I am not a plexpass member and now i can cast right to my chromecast from my phone or tablet. the only thing i had to do was uninstall plex and install it fresh on my device. for some reason if you just update the app the chromecast it will not work. let me know how it works for you guys!

The app version is 3.2.4.87. Make sure you uninstall your current version before you install this version.
Yeah
Noticed that. I already have Plex Pass, but it is a bit useless to me until the channels are fixed for streams, as all of the halfway useful ones are not playing. :crying:

Uninstalled, re-installed the paid app, and this is a no-go for me. On a related note, the other day I was able to use plex.tv and cast to my caster, however now, it no longer works and gives the, "This feature requires a Plex Pass subscription." popup, so maybe they were messing with some things, and the OP got lucky, either that, or the OP bought a plex pass and forgot about it.

Perhaps I have not gotten the update yet but My All cast could not find my CCasts...
I am wondering if that has more to do with Whitelisting delay than my not getting the update yet (All cast did update last nite)
I'm just too damn lazy to get up from my desk to reboot the CCast and test! Maybe after I finish my coffee! LOL
I've been happy with Avia+Chromecast. What does AllCast offer that can't be accomplished with Avia? I tried the timebomb release of AllCast and liked it but can't think of anything it did that I can't do with Avia. Thanks for any info.

Haven't had a chance to confirm, but assuming things haven't changed significantly from the beta, maybe if the data within the AVI is compatible with Chromecast, but that is unlikely in most cases (MPEG-4 is usually not wrapped in an AVI).
So in most cases, No.
AllCast does not transcode. Neither does Avia.
For that you need a Plex server or a DLNA server that does transcoding.
I seem to recall in the beginning, Koush's casting app was intended to support choosing content from a networked desktop using the mobile app and casting it to TV. I gather it doesn't support that yet / anymore?

In the beginning (it may have changed) AllCast was essentially an "extension" to whatever player/browser you are already using. You then "Share" the content to AllCast and AllCast does the data-forwarding to Chromecast.
Avia can do the same thing if you Share something to it, but Avia is also a player/browser in itself if you run it.
