Share some good video apps

I thought would start this post since I didn't see one where people could some of there favorite video apps that don't come stock on the N7. Her is my list:
1. Netflix - pretty good app and greatest availability of streaming movies you will find from a monthly service.
2. Xfinity Player: Nice updates to the UI for 7 inch tablets and really good for catching up on old episodes of Spartacus.
3. Crunchyroll: The premiere app for watching animes that are subbed and best of all they have a free option that works over Wi-Fi. Doesn't work over Bluetooth tethering, but ICS built in Wi-Fi tethering is just fine if you don't mind the ads.
4. HomeDia: A nice free app that allows you to stream videos on your home network. I paired mine up with plex media server since you have to pay for tversity and it has worked well. If it doesn't play a video just use a third video player app like rockplayer.
5. Dailymotion: To be honest the only reason I use this app is to catch up with subbed anime episodes of OnePiece, outside of that nothing really else for me.
The good thing about these apps are they are free to download and numbers 1, 2, and 5 have apps for the Xbox 360. Well those are mine, so what are yours?

Crackle has some good free movies and tv shows. I also like to browse vimeo using the app, there are lots of cool videos on there.

If you like to watch current TV DROID TV Primetime actually works very well on the N7. There are quite a few free shows but for @$9 for three months you can get shows like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Greys Anatomy, and dozens of others. I have used it for over a year on my DROID X and it sizes up really well to the 7inch for factor.

Are you doing this on a N7?
I had problems with it on my N7 in that I couldn't get it to lower/hide the info when the video was playing. Unless I am missing something .... On my phone it worked just fine.
UPDATE
Now if this isn't stupid on my part..... if you touch the video when it is playing, a icon shows on the bottom left to make it Full Screen... thought I had tried everything...

Thanks I didnt know that Crackle would work with the N7 unless I installed flash. So far it looks pretty good, I just dont like how the UI doesn't work that well in portrait mode. Hey that's what updates are for.

When I checked out veetle in the play store for some reason it said it was not compatible with the N7. Still looks pretty good though.

[Q] Video recorded by note are upside down on the computer?

Recently I am using the Note to record video. The quality is very good. But When I copied it to my Windows PC and play it, I find the frame is upside down (I am using kmplayer). Does anyone encounter such problem before? Please help me out.
A related problem is that the video size is very large ([email protected] generate 650MB mp4 file). Is there some video converter that can reduce the file size without sacrificing too much video quality?

Did you check with other players on PC? It may be a video player problem aslo..

First always record videos in landscape mode, never use portrait. And if you have videos that are played upside down on your pc use one of the free.softwares out there to change the orientation of a video. Try google with the keywords video change orientation or something similar.

Local file streaming work around and questions?

Ive noticed that in chrome I can open MP4 videos and play them. Then cast that tab and it works fairly well. But I cant get it to work with any other extensions. WMVs will play but when I cast it doesnt show up on my tv.
Are there any web based media players that we can just cast the tab?
Im a little disappointed with this device it could been so much more
*edit* Apparently you can cast the plex web app.

Yeah if you were looking to stream local content you purchased the wrong device.

Im hoping.. my popcorn hour died..

i jut use handbrake and make a mp4 version of all my files

It really is worth the time to set up Plex and use it to cast from your Chrome browser tab. I set it up 2 weeks ago and my wife and kids love it. It breathes new life into your TV and movie collection. I use a wifi mouse on my phone to control it.
Also with Plex I can watch ALL of my movies at work, streaming them from my house to my phone and tablet. It really is handy, and makes the wait on chromecast bearable.
Edit: it has played every video format so far...

anyway u can pm me as well with instructions?

I guess I should also mention that Plex needs to be installed on a computer and the Chrome tab you are casting needs to be on that computer or another one you are signed into with your Plex info. It was a fairly painless setup.

Chromecast with Note 3

I'm a little lost here can you use chromecast to stream videos using the stock video app that comes with the note 3??

Stock video app - only if you have a rooted Chromecast and use the specific version of AllCast (see FAQ).
Otherwise you can use Avia (paid option) or RealPlayer Cloud.

Ohh OK Kool thank you very much

Chances are your chromecast got updated when you first plugged it in and the root won't work now.

I've also been a VERY proud owner of a Galaxy Note 3 since around early to mid-October when it was first released. All Chromecast-enabled apps have worked just fine on my phone **SO FAR**. As far as I can remember, I've never had a single issue casting from my Note 3, even with the "working" version of Koushik's AllCast/AirCast app. Everything has been just fine and problem-free thus far!!(As far as I know....*[1.]My fingers have remained crossed since I bought this phone back in October. ...&... [2.]This wooden desk has had a small knuckle-sized hole 'knocked' straight through it!!* LOL). But yea, as far as the "stock" Samsung Video app goes, as long as your Chromecast has been rooted and you've installed the correct, "working" version of Koushik Dutta's AllCast/AirCast app onto your phone, you *should* be able to just open up the Video app, locate your video that you're wanting to cast(Google's Chromecast PREFERS for "casted" videos to have the .mp4 file extension and also to have been encoded using the H264 video codec and the AAC audio codec.), and finallllllly, locate and press the "Share to AllCast" button up at the top of the app(If you don't happen to see the "Share to AllCast" icon up at the top of the Videos app, you just MAY have to click on the little 2 or 3 pronged "Share to..." button up at the top of the app instead and just scroll down the list that pops up to locate the AllCast app.). Assuming that your Chromecast has already been properly rooted and the correct version of "AllCast" has been installed, your video(Also assuming that the video has been properly encoded in the H264/AAC codecs.) *SHOULLLDDD* start playing on your tv screen in all its beauty (...with an echo ringing throughout your house/apartment/trailer/cardboard box(I'm TOTALLY J/K about this one!!) coming from your Chromecast sounding eerily like Tarzan in the jungle!! Lol!!).

Unlimited video Recording on Gear

So in my quest to find a app that would allow me to record video on my phone with the screen off i came across SVR PRO. I tried it on my S4 and it worked perfectly so i decided to load it on my gear. Well...Well its God sent on the gear. You can record video with the screen off for unlimited amounts of time making your gear the ultimate spy gadget or at home video record or whatever you would like to use it as. In order to get it to function properly i changed the DPI to 120 and the video quality to 640x480 and it works perfectly. I have recorded video for 5 minutes with the screen off and all was well.

Thanks friend. I just tested the app, and it works great. Thank you very much. Regards

I was about to buy the Pro version for my watch but then I realized that it would not work. Because, since the Gear doesn't have the Google Account system, it wouldn't validate if I just sideload them.
Of course, I'm not in null_ROM. I'd like to stay in stock.
Is there a way to make it work? What a shame that it works so great but I can't buy it!

Tizen?
does this work on the Gear Tizen ? sideloading it will work right? oo
