Hello,
I just ordered my galaxy tab today and I'm looking for good accessories for it.
I watch a lot of videos from megavideo and I wanted to know it works good on the galaxy tab so I could buy the TV out cable and watch it from the tv.
Can anyone tell me if megavideo works fine on galaxy tab? Because I had another tablet with android 2.2 and the sound of the videos had different timing compared to the video itself.
also anyone knows if the Flash player works fullscreen using the tv out.
Thanks.
yes it does work. i use it all the time. it just depends on your connection. i get a lot of buffering which is annoying as hell but once its going its.....gone! after a lil it works just fine. i use it to watch my anime and i use the video out and it works good.
have you guys tried the Megavideo application? it's still a beta version, but it should work without problems..

please, check it out and let me know your feedback!
The megavideo app works ok... but there is a app "TV Shows Stream" it is very good, check out the trial
If you want to watch movies too on megavideo, use the Megavideo app... and with chrome2phone you can send the links from the Browser directly to the tab and it automatically detects megavideo links
It downloads in flash format... not original Format AFAIK, but good to watch though
I watch quicksilverscreen via TV out just fine

Just wondering what sites you guys have been streaming movies and shows successfully on the TAB?
http://www.southparkstudios.com/ -- streams and goes full screen =)
http://www.i4iphones.info/ -- streams fine and downloads fine
Netflix -- NOPE
HULU -- NOPE
I was trying to take a look at the Boise st -Fresno st game on espn.com via wifi and video was horrible not fluid, no i do not have 3g. Any ideas?

Not a site but check out the mediafly app in the market. Video blog/website aggregator. Also if you want hulu on your tab use the PlayOn software on your pc and then allshare on your tab.

okay so i have the playon on my pc, but what client is available for the galaxy tab to receive it?
netflix workaround
Okay. I got twonky which picks up the playon server on my pc, and i can search my queue, and search hulu, too. but when i press load it just sits there, and dosent start,
Just got my a500 and love it. I like being able to view flash sites and my wife watches streaming videos a lot. She is able to watch ABC.com but not nbc.com videos. Her coworker got the transformer and was able to play nbc.com videos on his stock browser. Wondering why it doesn't work on iconia. I've tried all other browsers, ie dolphine, skyfire, opera, but no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
No luck here either.
Alright, thanks. Hope someone figures it out. I wouldn't mind it so much if Asus Transformer weren't able to view it as well.
cant get it to work either but I use an app called "TV shows stream" and it lets me watch all the TV shows/series I want. Works well on iconia.
Yes it does, I watch TV shows with this app all the time.

I'm streaming the office right now... try after updating to flash 10.3
Are you talking about the paid version? Cuz the lite version doesn't have the shows. Also it would be nice to figure out how to get the nbc.com to work.
soon as I received my Acer iconia A500 I rooted it and went on the browser and tried the old trick. you know about:debug then it gave me the debug option once inside there I change the uaString to desktop just in case to avoid being redirected to a mobile site.
I went to nbc and I was able to play the office but it was kinda choppy and when I tried to long press full screen the screen just turn black.
I have the same problem!
I am on the phone with acer, do not by an acer the support makes dells look like the best ever. These people suck, and want to charge me to show me how to get the iconia to work on nbc.com/the office and yahoo news videos. I am taking it back!
This is more of a test to see if this problem occurs with anyone other than me. Can anyone play any videos from the machinima channel on youtube in the stock tablet version of the application? I cant and i am running taboonay. Thanks.

I noticed this too. Works fine if you use browser instead
Which program do you recommend? to see the videos I have on my pc on my iconia, similar to air video server in ios,I've tried some but are unstable and the video stops:good::good:
i use i-media share it stream to my xbox360, my friends playstation 3, and my pc as well as my other androids,. love it, download a 1080p hd movie and watch it perfectly on my flatscreen,
you can get 1080p vids this way with no video issues at all, as the media is not being displayed on the tab it runs seamlessly on the selected moniter "tv,pc,..whatever"
only thing i dont like is its called I-anything lol
i think there is also a way i can stream videos from my dropbox to the flatscreen, without actually downloading the movie :highfive:
ive never has it stop working half way through a movie or audio lag or any problems.

VLC Video Stream & Convert. Not perfect but the best out there. It plays every & with no lag on a wifi or 4g (tether if you must). Also, if you know anything about networks/LAN setup install & configuration is not a huge deal. I use it on my A500 & t-bolt. I would also recommend investing in the pro version. The latter is of course aatter of personal preference.
I use now the app emit,is good!!

Hey you can try Qloud media, i'm using it on my a500, think it's better than airvideo.
It has a free version, seems no difference to it's paid version except ads.
it's here on play store
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.qiss.vega.ad&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm1vYmkucWlzcy52ZWdhLmFkIl0
enjoy
For some reason, I can no longer play videos on my Galaxy 10.1 tab. What the heck is going on? They played beautifully before ICS, now they play with sound only.
I was using Dice Player with the plug-in, and they worked fine before. But now they won't work. So I deleted them, and downloaded them again, but they still won't work. So I uninstalled them again, and installed the Mobo player. Same thing -- audio, but no picture.
Is anybody else having this problem? I can't believe it's only my tab. Anybody have a solution? Thanks.

I had exactly the same problem after the update to ICS 4.0.4 the problems started.... this is because developers NO LONGER support the ADOBE Flash Player..!!!
Seems both have had issues, so Adobe stopped Supporting and updating and Google or Samsung or both have disabled its functions in the Update ICS 4.0.4...!!
Solution is to find a working / supporting Video Downloader which gives you the choice to View and Downliad Videos..!!
I am now using "Firefox with Video Downloader and the MXPlayer" works well..!!!!!
Just have to test and choose whichever combination works for you.!
Hope this answers your Q's

I guess I should clarify my original post. I have absolutely no problem playing web-based videos. I have no problems with Youtube, and videos play when I visit websites with flash video. My web-based videos play fine whether I'm using Firefox or the stock Android browser.
On the other hand, I am having problems with my personal video files (MP4, MKV, etc.) that I import into my tab. Prior to the ICS update, the videos played fine using Dice player. And even for a couple of weeks after the ICS update, the videos played, although choppy. After consulting with a Samsung tech person, he advised me to do a hard reset of my tab. That seemed to fix things.
But now, my videos play with audio only, no video. I have installed and reinstalled Dice Player, and Mobo Player, but neither work. This is really bumming me out because watching videos is one of my primary uses for the Galaxy Tab.

OK, I've tried everything, and just now (reluctantly) did a hard reset of my tab. No change; I still can't play most of my video files. All I get is sound, no video.
Does anybody have any idea why my video capability suddenly stopped working? I have checked every setting I could find; I have installed and reinstalled video players; and have even tried recoding some of my videos. They are coded at mp4 with H.264. A week ago, they played flawlessly in my Dice player.
Anybody have any suggestions?
