Ive used search and aint find anything that had to do with this topic. If this topic has been created already please guide me to the right place. Im fully aware that flash player beta is coming out next month. And im also aware that there's an app called LukLuk in the market that does this. Now here is my question. LukLuk dont seem to work for me it keeps force closing everytime i try and load up the movie list. Im wondering if there are any sites out there to where you can stream movies from? Converting movies into mp4 format and then loading it up to our SD card takes to long. And even when we do get flash player, what sites will we be using to stream movies from? so what sites do you guys use? i have a rooted phone and also aware that the HERO ROM already comes with a flash player, but im not using hero because its very laggy. so brings me back to the same question... what sites can i go to, to stream movies from online? Thank you to anyone who will help me.

I dont know of any movie sites that'll work on the g1...believe me, i've searched...but there is an app called jetflicks that streams tv shows...only it's kinda expensive and it'll be a subscription service by October...there's also a program called doubletwist that'll easily convert any movies you might have on your pc to a format that's viewable on the g1...the good thing about this program other than it's free, is that it automatically detects whatever mobile device you have, no messing around with settings or whatever...hope i helped a little bit...but hey, if you do find a movie website compatible with the g1, hook me up, will you?
I dont think their are any that are worthwhile now.

What's included in this build?
I'm pleased to announce that this newer build is much, much better than the old beta I had made before (and that had been understandably ignored by pretty much everyone) here's what works:
-Flash Player. Yay!!!!. A build under 87 MB (original build, 89 MB with rev1) with full flash support, both in the browser and as streaming video. It's a resoruce hog, though, so use with care (you can disable plugins in the browser settings to deal with this)

Are you sure. from what im reading i was led to believe browser video works
Good luck finding a site, as soon as one gets popular it's host will shut it down or they'll recieve a C&D. If you do find one don't expect it to stick around for longer than a month. Just use Handbrake or Media Coder to convert your videos.

I wouldn't get cocky if you don't know what you're talking about ;-) ...I've seen videos of Hero's playing youtube videos, and surely Hero's would use the same version of flash as those in our builds...

I Will be sure to hook you up when i come across one. I Downloaded JetFlicks, Its a pretty cool app. 14 bucks aint really that expensive. But its pretty cool a good time killer while im at work. i remember when i had the T-Mobile Dash, there was so many sites that streamed movies. now i own a G1 and there's no sites at all. lol im really thinking about buying the Touch Pro 2. its a beautiful phone. I tested it out for a full 24hr's and returned it the next day because i realized how much i hated WinMO lol. but im really thinking about going back to it. lol

Just like others said don't get to cocky. Not all videos are in flash 10.
I know back before we even had cupcake I was able to go to nbc.com and watch tv shows.
some people have had success with orb but most can't get it to stream over 3g/edge.
I'm going to try tonight to see what I can get. If I can get it streaming video I'm buying a tv turner for the computer. It would be nice if I could just stream the videos I already have on my pc though.

I've also read that gmote could do it as well, I just wanted to try orb first because I already had it installed on my computer at home. I didn't have a lot of time to play with it so I had the same results as most people. Could stream via wifi with no issues, but wouldn't work over 3G. Hopefully this weekend I can play with forwarding some ports on my router or try gmote and get one of them to work.

I don't know about the OP, but i'm looking for an app that will allow me to stream video from my computer.
That being said I tried LukLuk out and it looks like it could be a great time waster but it keeps force closing on me as soon as I try to login. I can use Trial, but that only gets you trailers.
dont bother with orb you have to be in front of your computer to set up a stream and when it stops you have to start it from your pc again
Tried out gmote last night... and it can stream from your computer, but only jpeg, mp3, mp4, and some others... Can't do divx, or avi.. so not what I am looking for...

This was my experience as well - although Orb worked very well, it would occasionally stop on the PC end. I used LogMeIn to remote desktop into my pc from my HTC Mogul to restart it, but I got sick of doing this and decided not to use Orb when I switched to my HTC Touch Pro.
Is there anyway to take a MKV or HQ 720p files with 5.1 surround sound or 3F2R/LFE to stereo other than Handbreak Handbreak is great and love it just takes a while and some times i feel as if the video quality goes down.
Thanks!
I use ripbot264 and make a copy of all my Bluray Rips to 720p w/5.1 audio for use on my phone. It gives you LOTS of options for improving video quality etc.

Video quality is going to go down no matter what you use b/c of the huge drop in bitrate as well as drop in resolution. As far as taking too long, I think that depends on your system.

Why not make them 800x480 (or somewhere around those numbers to maintain aspect ratio) since phone can't do 1280x720 and you're pretty much just wasting storage space doing 720p?

but it wont play 5.1, haven't tried it with 5.1 headphones yet however it wont play out the external speaker or in headphones unless its stereo. Or am i missing an option on my Vibrant somewhere?
I would like to know why you can't pause a movie and return to the same spot. It starts from the beginning every time. Is there a trick or just the way it is?
@krichek it wont play 5.1 out of the external speakers correct?

Are you asking if the file will play at all? Or if it sounds like it's in 5.1 through the external speaker?
It will play files with 5.1 but I don't think they sound any different if you are using the external speaker. I think they sound slightly better than stereo using the headphones tho.
As to why I encode in 720p with 5.1, I plan on purchasing the USB-HDMI cable when it is released and want to be able to play them on a monitor/HDTV without having to have 2 different versions on the phone.

Ok first follow this tutorial to get your audio out of the video file.
Next use Headac3he to downconvert the file from 5.1 to 2.0. When the program is loaded you will see an option button on the main window. Click it and then it will pop up a second window. At the bottom you will see the down conversion settings. Set it to 2.0 and let it convert.
Then mp3 the wave file and use virtualdub to plop the audio file back into the video file. I'm sure you can find tutorials for all that. If you need to learn how to use any of the programs above tutorials can be easily found on your favorite search engine. Once you learn what your doing here this will take less 7min per file to accomplish.

??? I was able to download it from here . It's right under the download link for headac3he
Also I don't see how foobar200 could do any conversion since it's a media player.
I found this method by accident trying to play Avatar on my tv through the video cable. It might not work for everyone and it might not work with all drm protected video. I am not responsible for what happens to your device
1 Plug the video cable into your phone and tv
2 Activate TV out on the phone
(menu, settings, display, TV out)
3 Open your video player
4 Choose a drm protected video and play it
(you will see a warning on the tv: TV0out not supported while application running. Phone display only)
5 Unplug the video cable from the phone, the movie will pause
6 Unpause the movie let it play for a couple of seconds
7 Plug the video cable back in the Vibrant and enjoy
Nice find, will try it out

Didn't work for me. Just get the same text after plugging the cable back in.

I didn't know that you couldn't play this file on any other source. That kinda' sucks. I just bought my Vibrant after selling my T-Mobile HD2, and I was looking forward to watching this via my home theater.
The funny thing is that the previous T-Mobile phone included sponsored versions of Transformers 1 and 2, both of which had no DRM on them. I played them via my PC without any problem.
How does this DRM impact custom ROMs?k Will I not be able to play the movie on a custom ROM?

Custom Rom's won't do anything, except this.
lets say you keep your Avatar movie, on the stock you HAVE a avatar ICON app to press and play, on custom roms, the icon app can be replaced with moving things to the system/app or just play it from gallery or video player.
Nothing more than that.
DRM uses other apps too, so if you were to delete that, other core processes wouldn't work, so do what most people do. Freeze the DRM services using Paid version of titanium backup.
Works everytime for me, it works with movies from media hub also. I don't know if it matters or not but I am on Nero V3. Try the method a couple of times.

Well I'm actually referring to the fact that it appears on a lot of apps. Such as T-MobileTV, Avatar, anything that uses the camera, etc. I would actually like to use Tango with it so that I can flip my phone around (camera facing me) and use Video call with the video input in my truck. That would be useful.
I have what I hope does not seem like a stupid question but has a simple answer.
I have a Motorola Xoom unrooted STOCK. I play Jetflicks on it (App for TV which DOES NOT use FLASH)
According to Jetflicks support the default video player on the Xoom will not play the files on their website correctly and they have been in contact with Motorola (Yeah Right) and a fix is coming. In the meantime they suggested I download Rockplayer Lite and when the window which ALWAYS shows up asking for which program you want to play the video file with, to choose Rockplayer. Well I have been trying to get that window to pop up and if I knew the name or could find the application in manage applications I would change it there.
Any assistance from the vast community would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and coming from a person who lurks in this forum a lot more then participates I think what you guys and girls are doing is AWESOME. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks
Vito
Think its just gallery or gallery 3d.

I tried that but still no luck....any other idea. Thanks
I don't understand the question. Are you looking to use RockPlayer as your default video player?

Bump....any help please it seems the Jetflicks support team while rapid in their responses lack any technical ability.
Thanks
bump: I would like to know how to make this work as well.
Pretty sure it's either Gallery or Movies. If you go into settings, applications, manage applications then clear data for those two does it help?
I'm right in thinking that the problem is you can't get the popup to display so you can choose rockplayer?
Ok, some of you may already know about this but allow me please to make this thread for people who dont know and rely on youtube's app to watch their videos. I was constantly being annoyed of watching videos in the official youtube app which are supposed to be hd but they all would look like blurred and of low quality, although i had selected in settings the HQ (High Quality) option. The problem is that these videos are being played in standard 480p definition and there's nothing you can do about it. Here's how its done:
4.2 JB
1) Install Mozilla's Firefox Browser from playstore (unfortunately chrome does not support flash)
2) Download and install manually Adobe's Flash player from here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html Scroll down where it says Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 and download the latest version 11.1.115.81
3) Open Firefox, go to settings->display->plugins and select enabled
4) Still in Firefox go to tools->Add-ons->Browse all firefox add-ons, search for the add-on Phony and install it
5) Now under settings there is an option named Phony, press it and under Select User Agent chose Desktop Firefox. Finally restart the firefox
4.4 KitKat
1) Install Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Jetpack from the playstore
2) In doplhin's settings menu enable the flash player (always on), enable the dolphin jetpack and select for user agent desktop
3) Install the hacked flash player from here
Now you re set. Put the url of youtube, navigate to the video you want to watch and press the little gear in the bottom right corner of youtube's video, select 720p or 1080p if the video supports it and watch it in really high definition. Needless to say that i never used youtube's app anymore to watch my videos as i can manage my playlists, turn on or off the annotations, put captions etc. like i do in my desktop computer
*ALTERNATIVE APP* If you want to stay away from the trouble of installing flash player and you want to use an app for viewing youtube videos you should check the Viral Floating Youtube Popup app. It supports hd playback, a resizable player to run along with other apps, background playback and many other cool features. Check the developer's original thread here.
You do realize all that is unnecessary, right? All you have to do is install flash, run the native LG browser, and switch to desktop view. Youtube will then allow 1080p resolution via the gear icon.
Fantastic guide, being stuck on 480p was not very helpful as many of the videos for me came out blurry and not to the full definition. Now I am able to watch videos I have uploaded to the internet in full HD, thank you so much for the guide and for it to be in-depth, as I hate guides which are only a few sentences. The 1080p will work best depending on your internet, as I have fast internet in my house so it should not be a problem with lag etc.

Thank you, all I did was install flash and then it worked.
It's completely ridiculous that we have to do even that though, I can't believe that the youtube app's "HD" is still not even proper 720.

480p and 1080p are now not available in any app since google split the streams in to. 720p should work fine. Can you grab a log of the crash?
You can try another way for background play, press the pop-up icon, then in the pop-up window, press minimise.

I switched to your app as pvstar doesnt support hd. I have to admit that your app is the best of its kind, everything is nicely organised and the best feature by far is the background and resizable player, this app is definitely worthy 5 stars. I understand now the reason that you dont have 1080p, anyway there isnt any noticeable difference between 720p and 1080p in this tablet's display. When i had first installed it some weeks ago i noticed that it crashed 2 or 3 times after some long usage and displaying the same error every time, i dont remember it exactly though, something about "we re sorry but the application has crashed"?. I dont know how to take a log if that happens again, maybe you could tell me a way or i could get a screenshot and report it if it happens again. Keep up the good work mate.

[Guide][Flash]How to play flash video on Android 4.4 Kitkat
Install latest Dolphin browser from play store, enable jetpack in settings and flash. I personally set flash in Dolphin 'on demand' just not to see all this flash adverts on web pages.
Works good on my nexus 5.

Which app and in whose signature do you mean is viral? Did you scan it with antivirus and it dejected some virus on it?
LMT from my signature was the reason I rooted my first phone. It's outstanding with customizations. It works even on not rooted devices (except of back and menu buttons), you can still make shortcuts to lot of apps to start them from pie.
You need root for full functionality.
Meisterqn said ermacwins sig wasn't visible, so I was saying that the app being referred in that post is named "viral".

Only thing is, all video's are set to 720p with no option to go into 1080p.
Is that normal, or this something with youtube? Also im using Mahdi Rom.
