The entertainment apps listing really highlights my focus for whining...
netflix,
hulu plus
hbo go
should all be honeycomb ready
let's add skype with video chat that just dropped for all of 4 phones.
These services all seem like they should be no-brainers for the tablet market.
Really nice list, it's helpful to have them broken out by category. The market experience on honeycomb is pretty, but not necessarily useful.

What is funny is that you almost 100% copied (and made some additions) this post here on XDA as well. What is not funny is that well they provided a link (and credits) to the originators of this list, you didn't even provide a link to their post (let alone the originators of this list). What is even worse is that the person who posted this in the XOOM section (which I linked to earlier) only has 10 posts, and you have 226. Shame on you...

You shouldn't make wild accusations just because you knew the list already...this cud help many ppl(I'm talkin bout iconia owners)....its easy to find something on xda.....particularly on your device's space on xda.....

Getting Video from my PC to GT10.1v

Hi There!
I am looking for a very quick and easy WiFi friendly way to get video's from my PC to my GT. I am thinking something as simple as click an icon on my GT and see the videos stored on my PC, and then be able to click to play them.
I have TVersity, but it requires logging into the web browser, authenticating, scrolling through, clicking and waiting for transcoding, and it's pretty rough in terms of quality.
Something almost like a FTP or Dropbox (Local Wifi version) would be ideal.

I've read about an app like this but i can't remember what it was for the life of me...

check out BUZZ Player in marked

Has anyone tried plex?

Gmote is the best app for that
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk

The "best" app for this will always be debatable. Just find one that suits your fancy.

you want to stream the videos?
I use Emit from the market. there is a free version and a pro version without ads (only difference i can see). I use it all the time and it works great. You just need to install the client on your PC and show it which folders you want to view.

es File Explorer works well for me

Doesn't play MKV's unfortunately. Just tried Plex and it seems to work great (although you do need the software on your PC). That'll do

Mount a shared drive onto your tab via cifs and watch using any media player.

Gmote.
Bonus is you can use it as a remote for your PC.

For streaming video from my desktop to my Tab, I'm using VLC (on the desktop) and VLC Direct Pro (on the Tab). It works fine with .avi and .mkv I have yet to test it with other formats (like .mp4 etc.).
You must have VLC runing on your desktop and you have to enable a certain setting (can't remember what it is, sorry, but when you start VLC Direct on the Tab it will prompt you to enable the setting in VLC on your computer).
VLC for desktop is free, but if you want more than a few minutes of video on the Tab, you need VLC Direct Pro (not just VLC direct) which is about $3.

Recommended Apps?

I'm not too familiar with the Android OS. What are some recommended apps?

Depends on what you wanna do.
Music apps: Winamp, Spotify
Internet-related Apps: (irssi) ConnectBot, Firefox
Launcher: ADW, Go Launcher EX (launcher pro doesn't work)
If you tell me more about what you wanna do, I can answer more specifically

Honestly anything and everything.
BTW what's a good Video player app.

Cut the Rope, for one

The default video player in the hacked gingerbread roms worked the best for me, but doesn't work here yet.
Mobo player seems to be the preference, but I despise it and have yet to find anything else decent.
Whats so hard about sorting stuff alphabetically or by date? I have no idea wtf it is sorting as.
Then asked which folder has your videos, and you have to actually hit a refresh button for it to find new stuff. And then goes and shows you crap not even in that folder...

I use rockplayer. It was the first one I could find that would play xvid files. I haven't tried any others, but I don't have any complaints about it.

Rockplayer is good for videos. I sideloaded it on my KF.
ES File explorer (in Amazon market) will allow you to navigate the file structure (good for finding anything you download)
Hulu + (in Amazon market) if you have a hulu plus account.
Netflix (in Amazon market) if you have a netflix account.

Pulse is great for news.

Apps I use -
Grocery IQ (my girl and I can share a shopping list, her on a iphone and me on my droid charge and kindle fire), Google Reader (rss reader), Google Listen (podcast listener), Wordfued (so addicted to this scrabble knock-off), DropBox (for moving files to the 'cloud' and between devices and computers)

I have found the following to work great on my stock (un-Rooted) Kindle Fire.
- MX Video Player 1.4b (sideloaded), plays AVI, WMV, Etc. perfectly!
- Go Launcher EX (Amazon Store), Must Have!
- Battery monitor Widget 1.9.9 (sideloaded) - great for see power use
- File Manager (Amazon Store) -
- Express News
- Sense Analog Clock 3.2.3 (sideloaded)
Found many of the apps at androiddev.orkitra.com

Add to the list:
Dropbox
Titanbackup Pro
OTA RootKeeper
Root Explorer
Delete all contacts

I installed (among others):
Opera Mobile (a much faster browser alternative to the stock browser)
Audiogalaxy (allows me to stream my itunes collection to the Fire)
Gemini App Manager (quickly clears cache)
Wiki Encyclopedia
Youtube for Android
TuneIn Radio
Box.net
US Newspapers

Always look at the free app of the day, today was documents to go! I enjoy Cube Runner 3D (free), Netflix, and tubemate (have to sideload, they're not on either market currently) as it can download 1080p youtube videos straight to your device.

[Q] Is there currently any lean back web browser available (mouse not needed)?

Hi all
Is there any lean back web browser available for the Nexus Player currently? I tried Chrome Beta, but that didnt do tha trick
Also does anyone know how to uninstall an app from the Nexus Player that you installed from your PC browser?
Thanks in advance!

Tried firefox, dolphin, and chrome. Chrome was the only one where I could do searches but it has tons of functionality ripped out ie no tabs and I still haven't figured out how to go back.
Uninstalling is the same as any android device. Go into settings > apps > find chrome > uninstall.

I found a 11.3.0 version of the Dolphin browser with Leanback support here: https://plus.google.com/communities/103510820500984874818/s/dolphin?partnerid=gplp0 Namely, the file named mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser-2.apk in one of the posts. The file installs fine in my rooted Nexus Player and an icon for the Dolphin browsers shows up on the Leanback launcher see pict. The program starts, but the browser is only able to load a couple sites, namely cnn.com and just a couple others see pict. When I try to go to other sites like google.com or facebook.com all I get is a blank page see pict. After entering the URL the Dolphin progress bar moves quickly to the right, but then slows down to a crawl and slowly continues to the right, but never loads the site. The Internet connection is fine, I can load all sites using Chrome browser without a problem, but I'm use to working with Dolphin on Android. Chrome on the Nexus Player does not allow tabs, but Dolphin does. Anyone else testing this Dolphin Leanback browser on their Nexus Player with different results?... I understand that this version appears to be modified specifically for the ADT-1, but given that it loads cnn.com, I can't understand why it won't load other sites.
Has anyone found a newer version of Dolphin with Leanback support?
Btw, to work with this browser you'll need a mouse and keyboard. I'm using a K400r keyboard with a trackpad. The Nexus Player remote does not work. If after the installation you get stuck on ads screens the first time you run it (flipping to a black screen)... click and hold the mouse button and swipe to the left to navigate to the Welcome (Start) screen.

FYI - The problem I was having with Dolphin 1.3.0 with Leanback on my Nexus Player was being caused by the Dolphin Jetpack. I disabled the Jetpack and the problem loading pages went away. I guess I lost the functions provided by the Jetpack (e.g. flash support), but at least I can load pages now.
I hope Google or some third party is working on a web browser that can be used with just the NP remote, Having to "always" go for the keyboard to navigate the web is not convenient. For the small amount of web browsing that I do using the TV bookmarks, up/down - left/right navigation plus access the on-screen keyboard to enter URLs and to fill a couple forms should be enough.
I also have a Logitech Revue (GTV) that came with a neutered version of Chrome. I believe copyright laws were the main reasons why Google did not developed the GTV Chrome browser further. With a couple of hacks it's barely able to play flash videos. Streaming content directly to the big screen has always been something that content owners are reluctant to allow without a fee.

Fire TV / Stick - Awesome setup and Must have apps

This is the Best Setup & Top apps for power users on a none rooted Fire TV
Here is the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoQHoIaFhsw
1- FireStarter
2- Play Muisc Android TV
3- YouTube Android TV
4- Dolphin Browser
5- Es File Explorer
6- Play Movies Android TV
7- VLC Android TV
8- Splashtop
9- CCleaner
10- 1Mobile
Note:
This setup was done on the New Fire TV 2015 running Fire OS 5, but most of the apps should work jute fine on Fire OS 4.

Sounds like you really wanted a Nexus Player.

Thanks for the information!
I would like to know which versions, of those APPs for Android-TV that you have tested, do you think that are working better on the 2nd Gen. Fire-Tv?
Could you please post the APK download links for the following APPs:
- YouTube Android TV
- Play Muisc Android TV
- Play Movies Android TV
- Dolphin Browser
- VLC Android TV
Do you know of any other APPs for Android-TV, that could work on the Amazon Fire-TV?

What is the version / date for the ES File Explorer APK? One techie reviewer noted back in 2014 that it contained a virus - so I have been reluctant to install it. This app after all gets access to almost everything within the box. Can some give me a warm fuzzy feel for this app?
On a separate note - can someone suggest an App that will access my DLNA NAS Server?
---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------
Ignore the request for the DLNA Player
Found one just now - called UPnPlay - very simple, fast and gets the core job done and I like apps that stick to that principal. And everything works just with the FTV2 remote !!!
Once you find the video, it can push it to my Samsung SmartTV (the TV popped up a message asking if to "Allow" / "Deny" request) ... or use the VLC app. I used the VLC app and its FAST !
I wonder if VLC has a way to fetch it directly?

You can download ES File Explorer at Amazon Fire TV's AppStore from the search bar or by Voice ( It was allowed by Amazon so I think it safe )

Xfinity TV
Travel Channel
HGTV Channel
DIY Network
Visual Anatomy
CNN
IMDB
Data Counter Widget (great app to get a peek at bitrates of video streams)
Speedtest App
Set Orientation (needed for some side loaded apps)
UPnPlay
Actual Movie Trailers
Wifi Analyzer
I don't use Kodi - everything I needed was available via the Sideloaded technique.
I dowloaded the App Organizer from Amazon FireTV App Store ($2.50) ... incredible useful but plain looking app - it allows me instant access to native and side loaded apps via folders I set up. Thats my main interface since the FireTv makes you go through several clicks to jump from TV to Apps etc. When you install this app just make sure you go and change the single-click preference to "Launch"

The current version on Google Play ... I have to use the wireless K400 keyboard. One the video starts, the original remote allows you to pause and play the video. I am fine with that.

When I installed the youtube app (android tv), the casting stopped working. Is there any workaround this?

i'm in the uk and would add : mediahhh, mobdro, uk tv now, tube+ (youtube alternate), showbox, vimeo, soundcloud, mixcloud, netflix, ted, and tunein radio to the list of essential apps.
I've plenty of devices for browsing the web & the like so I've got my firestarter powered fire tv stick only running media apps ... to think I nearly binned it on ebay before i'd discovered the firestarter front-end & the fire utility app. *facepalm*
Downloads you ask?
http://mediahhh.com/
https://www.mobdro.com/
http://showboxpc.be/
http://livetvapp.tv/ - UK TV now (requires mx player or vlc)
the others are out there - from the usual sources.
