My new favorite browser, I saw it on the market last night and downloaded it to test it out. Love how it can load up videos that you used to not be able to load...only problem is that it takes forever to do so because it converts them on the fly.

I get FC anytime I try to open it. oh well.

Nice!
I've been using this for a couple of days now... It is MUCH better than the standard browser or Opera Mini.

And what about Dolphin Browser? Standard browser lacks some features and Opera Mini is crap of ****. I tested Skyfire, it is good, but I like Dolphin more.

It's nothing superb, it just has features that standard browser lacks. Browser is too "basic".
fast access to anything through gestures
nice context menu on long touch on something, which includes zooming (so buttons don't cover up webpage)
auto rotation of screen without page reload (and it is very fast too)
fast tab switching through moving out (left or right) of a webpage
caching webpages: if you load up some page, then exit browser, run something else, so browser will be killed and then return back, Dolphin will load this page from some kind of cache

Why is this in the dev forum?
And this browser doesn't work with hulu.

Nice browser....but
On some website, it just exit and I'm back at my G1's home screen.
Any ideas?

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.

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?

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.

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

Yeah it did not work , I tried to upload the files through media2go to see if there was some conversion... But no still exactly the same, this is really annoying. Hopefully it will be fixed with 4.2.2 if it ever comes

...for transmission. Says nothing about the content. If the target device refuses to accept the (unknown) content nothing you can do.
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?

[Q] Open Youtube links in Youtube app as a default?

Hello guys,
When I click any Youtube link in Facebook app, it gives me options which app do you want to use to open. In this selections, there is no Youtube app option. I have searched and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789623
The problem is, I don't have that app in my system. I am rooted and have TMOBUS version. Is there any way to use Youtube app as a default for Youtube links?
Thanks!

Maybe try clearing the default selection for Chrome in Settings -> Apps -> Chrome -> Clear defaults
And try again??

Bumping this up, when I open Youtube links from FB app I get the same thing as this image. I can choose between browsers or youtube app.
However I just saw that when I have a link in the FB messages I don't get the same.
I get a pop up with "Streaming Media Player" and "ES Media Player" and not any options for a browser or the youtube app.
I'm talking about Youtube links in Facebook chat messages as I said.
Can anyone please confirm if it happens for them also?

[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_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.

Not howto video, but the video of the result, to see lag. I haven't chromecast and interested to see is it good enough to use for screen mirroring. Thanx.

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
