Video Sites that work on the TAB?

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,

[Q] PlayOn for Android

Has anyone tried the new PlayOn app available for Android? I was disappointed to learn of Netflix's presence on Android will only encompass future Qualcomm powered phones. (Still hoping someone will be able to modify it). But PlayOn seems like the next best thing for Netflix streaming to our Android powered HD2's.
Just looking for any review or feedback. I will download the server app to my computer tonight and give an update for those that are interested.
Update: No one interested? Oh well. I said I'd update so... Confirmed. Netflix does indeed work with this app. Although, I had problems with the actual app. Was able to log into my Netflix account through the app; browse and view my instant queues but it wouldn't play for some reason. (Might be due to my slow internet from within my house though). But using stock browser and going to the playon mobile site I was able to stream my movies. Hulu did not work for some reason though. I have a modified flash to use with my hulu app and i thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it and installed flash from market but hulu still asks me to install flash even going through playon. So not sure what to make of it. All in all: use hulu app if you want hulu. use playon if you want netflix. =]

What rom and version of flash player are you using. Not working on core droid rom for me.

NexusHD2 Gingerbread by tytung. And I use a modified apk of flash I found somewhere on xda. Lets me play Hulu. I think it was in the Nexus One threads somewhere. I don't remember.

i tried it. its slow. it works

I have had this software for quite some time and I must say it is great, best app I have. Not only for Netflix access on my GTab but all the other content I can watch on my phone as well as my tablet. More than worth the price, I can't imagine not having this software and app. I am able to stream videos from my home computer ,using my HD2 as a wifi router, to my GTab. The video quality over 3G is more than acceptable and the stream is usually steady enough to watch a movie or a live sporting event using ESPN 3 (yes it gives you access to that plus Hulu and about 15 othe chanels) I know I sound like a commercial but I have no stake in the company. Its a great piece of software that I feel everyone who watches online content would love and appreciate.

I know this topic is from while ago, but since it discusses PlayOn, I didnt want to open new one.
I installed PlayON as well. Server runs Ok on my PC, I am able to watch Hulu with my FAT+ and TV.
Recently got HTC Sensation 4G. Installed the PlayOn app, in the Server on my PC I enabled MObile access, router configured automatically, Mobile access test is green - passed.
Here is the problem - on my phone I can see the server, I can browse channels, but when i go to a show, I just see cover art and few lines of info in a table below the cover art.
Nothing is clickable and cant make it start anything.
I am using LAN access if that matters.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Playon issue with Rooted Gingerbread Bionic
I am having similar issues with my new rooted Bionic. My rooted Droid2 worked fine yesterday - but, my Bionic does not stream Playon on wifi or on 4g/3g. I don't know if it is an issue with being rooted - since I rooted the Bionic as soon as got it. I am able to find the server and browse channels, however, it will not play videos. It displays the first frame and then just goes black and eventually displays "Stream not found null". Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Good app to stream downloaded videos from PC to Tab

I have heard abt PLEX but cant make it to work. Can anyone provide step by step instructions to get it to work.
Or some other app which may work better than Plex?

never tried plex, but I use subsonic which has not caused me any issues. The app is free but requires a donation to get the video streaming

Thanks. Any free application?

PS3 Media Server works well for streaming media. Asumming you're sharing the correct format and resolution. It's free and very easy to setup.

Upn in the market along with rockplayer or moboplayer also in the market. Along with HDMI cable works great.

I convert my videos with handbrake for my A500 and then access them via Tonido. There's an android client on the market. Works great, videos buffer for a bout 5 seconds over wifi then start playing.
http://www.tonido.com

My set-up. PS3 Media Server on the PC. UPnPlay and MoboPlayer on the tab. It works for me.

+1 on subsonic.
great thing about subsonic is you don't have to be on the same network to use it. i stream to my tab while i'm at work sharing the net from phone. i have to admit the quality isn't great. but it gets the job done.
for the DLNA setups i'm pretty sure you have to be on the same network.
I've never used plex since i'm a linux user.
has anyone tried orb yet? that might be another one to look into.

Any Airplay app that work well?

If you have XBMC, then enabling AirPlay works when XBMC is open, but performance is spotty. YouTube are other Internet site videos AirPlay fine, but locally stored videos not so much (720p okay, 1080p sometimes). Photos work fine.
There's AirBuddy (via Amazon store), which also partially works like above. But, it limits streaming, unless you pay 99 cents.

Airbuddy is a lousy app. I had better luck with Airplay Receiver. It works for the most part. I did not spend $5 for the pro-version as I am hoping that there will be a Fire TV compatible app for airplay sooner than later.

I will test it out when I get back home in the evening and do a more thorough test. However, as far as I remember, it works very well. I was able to stream both audio and video. The app itself is annoying due to the nags to upgrade, but other than that I had no complaints.

AirReceiver Basic/Pro - works with remote but seems to stutter and freeze a bit
Reicast Emulator - works per another thread
GenesisDroid Emulator - works per another thread here
NesLite - works perfectly
Spotify - Works with oreintation app or modified download
Candycrush - does not work / crashes

SPMC - Works great.
Microsoft Remote Desktop - Works. Requires mouse and only displays at 1080p.
WWE - Doesn't work. Requires a GPS check to access live stream/on demand.
Max Go - Doesn't work. Display is smushed. Rotation doesn't fix the issue.
Epix - Works. Requires mouse.
Starz Play - Works. Requires mouse.
Encore Play - Works. Requires mouse.

+1. Tested the Pro version, and it works no better than AirPlay via XBMC for me. So, Internet videos stream fine, as do local photos and 720p (and SD) vids. 1080p/30 videos (like those off iPhone's camera) freeze/stutter.

Thank you all your hard work.
Any send works. Send files between devices on same network.
Terminal emulator works but needed keyboard to work well.
I used terminal and adb on firetv to install apps downloaded using any send

I'm using Orientation Manager. Works fine so far.

Is there any already tested torrent client?
And what about MX Player?

Fire 8 HD (7th Gen). Anyway to get chromecast streaming to work?

Hello. So casting works in some apps, but in some it doesn't. Netflix doesn't have the option to cast to chromecast devices.... I'm just wondering if there is a way to get it to work? or is there a modified version of the app I can use to get chromecast streaming to work? How about casting a tab from the chrome browser?
Thanks

Where did you install Netflix from? I don't remember which one works but it either works out of the box installed from Google play or Amazon app store so if it is not working try installing from the other one. At least this works on my hd10. I don't know about casting a tab but the google home app might allow you to cast the screen. Don't think casting tab from chrome on Android has ever been a feature.

On my hd 10 2017 netflix i had to install netflix from netflix.com as i couldn't see it on the play store. it works fine except i never get the cast icon. the netflix help for this scenario is no good - the device is on the same network (youtube, bbc iplayer etc cast just fine) and i've logged out of and back into the app.
