[APP] "TV SHOWS FREE", suck it hulu

The new TV app called "TV SHOWS FREE"
So I just came across this nifty little app that apparently has on demand episodes of a very very large volume of shows. Little ad box at the bottom of the screen, but acceptable for just TV shows here and there.
WiFi recommended. Maybe if we had real 4G it wouldn't be necessary...
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv-shows-free/org.apps.PVRViewer
Surprising it has almost all the shows and with good quality as well.
here is the APK

sometimes for tv out to work you must switch the yellow and white cable, depending on who made it.

It doesnt seem to appear in the market

Great app! Been watching "who's the boss" and "my so-called life" episodes all day!

Can someone who downloaded the latest version post it here cause it is not on the market anymore.

Just posted it in your other thread.

Yes, that is exactly what it is.

They're all beautiful.
Here's a .zip with all of them. Only 11 so far it looks like.
If anyone was wondering they incrementally increase the number in the filename
so this https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/background1.jpg
would come before this https://www.gstatic.com/cast/images/home/background2.jpg

It has to have some of those local...it will cycle between wallpapers even before you have it connected to the internet.

If you had root on the ChromeCast I image you could point it to another URL or to local files. I don't think anyone has done this yet.

you could edit the host file but think the url is https so its a little harder.

I'm surprised to see they're only 720p? Most folks will have this device connected to 1080p displays.
Sidenote, at least some of these wallpapers are the same as those that ship on the Chromebook Pixel, which certainly has them at much higher resolution.

Does anyone know the url to the new wallpapers that came along the november(?) update?
Some of then are pretty awesome!

I'm not surprised...You always support the lowest common denominator as a default so no one has issues.
You can't display full 1080p on a 720p set without scaling...
But you can display 720p on 1080p without doing anything.
So it makes sense to support 720p because any tv that has an HDMI port supports that as a minimum resolution.
I would love it if there was some way to point the CCast to display images on your own custom cloud folder like on Picassa or Google+ at some point though.

Yes, your new link works.

Installed it at work so I can't really play with it yet but there is a weird little headphone and chrome something icon with a line through it at the bottom left of the main screen that doesn't do anything. I probably need to be on the same network and the app to see my chromecast for whatever that is to do something but just thought I'd mention it.
Suggestions:
1) Add a check on app start to notify if it can't find the chromecast on the network
2) Ask to enable wifi for same reason as #1
3) Add Widget(s) for the app (Granted I haven't used the app to it's full potential yet to determine what the widget could/should have)

How come this is the only chromecast app in the store every other developer is saying that google hasn't allowed developers to release apps yet I think it has something to do with the beta sdk or something

Maybe because this is using an API for controlling the Chromecast but it's not actually pushing video to it.

Don't know about other, but I can tell you one thing : Google released all the stuff a developer could need to develop apps for it and there's no limitation to publish what they want. Here's the catch though, their API is somehow limited for clients and are meant for services like Netflix or Hulu to implement their own media player remote. Sending content to the Chromecast is a very different thing (and is potentially the most interesting). Koush wrote a few things about it on his Google+ page, I recommend checking it out as well as his workaround.

Do you have any plans to post your source code? I'd love to take a look at it.

I'm strongly considering it but not immediately. There's a lot of changes going on in the codebase still and a little bit of house cleaning before I can start thinking of releasing it. Maybe in a couple months from now. If you need to look at some chromecast code, samples do pretty much the same =)

Smart Remote For GG

I noticed this app in the Samsung store under entertainment, it works brilliant to control your TV from your gear. Your phone needs to be near by of course. Just thought I would share.

Good good. Don't use IR remotes anymore. But this is definitely a brilliant way to use the Gear (or any smartwatch).
My hope is that Logitech will do something similar for their harmony app for the harmony smart or harmony ultimate. (or published a sdk for it). A big big advantage of the Logitech solution is that the remote app communicates via Wifi with a wifi hub which in turn translates the commands in IR code. Especially for a Smartwatch setup this works great. You don't need to point the phone because everything is send via Wifi instead of Infrared.

WatchOn need IR.

It never connects for me. I am running Null 11 though so I wonder if that has something to do with it??
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Its working for me, but it always acts like a DVR and I can't get it to show me channel change, just volume and dvr controls. My cable box is also a dvr.

Netflix on the gear...

Some would say "why???"
I say "because it can be done"
I mean it's absolutely rediculous... Why would you want to watch it on your watch???
But it does run extremely smooth. No hiccups or stutters. I watched a 22min show just to test it out. Picture looks surprisingly good too.
I don't think id watch another show on it... It's more for bragging rights lol

Haven't thought of that! So in theory you can install mx player and then put in a movie and watch it on the watch?

That's hilarious.
I wish there were working bluetooth speakers on this, then this would make this the ultimate smart watch. But one can only dream....
