Try Google Chrome! - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why when using mxplayer which I have just installed on my new N7 do I get a banner advert asking me to Try Google Chrome! along the top when I pause a film?...i already have Google Chrome by default!

It's just an ad...the app (or code generating the ad) doesn't scan your device to see what programs are installed.

Did you install MX Player (free version with ads) or MX Player Pro (paid version without ads). Sounds like you might have installed the free version.

Sadly, These are built in by the developer of the application so they make some money on it.
There are some adfree applications but they usually cost money.
Its a "problem" with most Current Gen mobile OS.
The good thing is, this way we don't need to pay for some very useful applications.
Adfree from market works well on the desire. Tried to install it on the buzz....cannot even find the app in the market
Not sure if it has anything to do with rooting first.

No More jetVD-YouTube Downloader :mad:

Looks like they took jetVD off the Android Market. I just installed a new rom and didn't backup that app. If anybody has the latest v0.9.8 apk can you please please pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase upload.
There are more places to look for app's than just the Market. I'll see if I can find something.
Not sure what version it is, or if it is infected in any way shape or form, but here is a working download:
http://www.4shared.com/file/vbUs9Glk/jetVD.html
Edit: version 0.9.4.
works okay for me
Some ROMS have problems with missing apps from the market. It has to do with the build.prop file. One way to get these apps is to use appbrain and fast web installer to send it to your phone. The app still exists: http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=jetvd
No apps found for "jetvd"
I am getting irritated by Google removing the apps that grab youtube videos.
Anyone has the latest version of apk and would you share it please?
EDIT: I finally managed to grab it from the 4shared link, tried like 10 times and it finally worked. Although it isn't the latest version (cannot choose where to save the videos).
Download Best tube off the market is free and its a youtube downloader and I have found every app that I've looked for....
Aren't there plenty of other apps that do the same thing?

TubeMate works really well for me. It will save in multiple formats and in all available sizes. I use it to entertain my 2 year old with cartoon shorts.

Thanks for the app. But unfortunately the app will still work but the videos that are linked to YouTube is not available. Im Assuming that the jetvd team is undergoing a major update on the next version due to the script changes done in YouTube this past new years.

interesting. they seem to be developing even though they were yanked off of the market. however i cant read any of the links off of their twitter feed. on the computer or the phone.
version 0.9.13 is not working but the version attached to the first post is working fine
Version 1.0.1 will be out soon. I saw the release notes on their site. It will feature a new UI. We can view video comments and the option to view related videos as well as videos upload by the user.
I have 0.9.7 on my phone, from the Market, back when it was still there and it works 100% still.
1.0.1 is on the market!!
Sorry if this is late and after the fact...
JetVD is available on the market, but the lite version on the market will not allow you to download videos and save them. People in the comments section have advised to go to their website at jetvd.com and download it straight from there (using your mobile device). The Full version is free there, and will allow you to save your videos.
Is there a new jetvd or any other app that converts youtube videos to mp3?
I've been using TubeMate for a year or so, but it's not on the Market. Get it for free at m.tubemate.net.

Updated regularly.
Multiple video quality and video format options.
Downloading as mp3 supported.
If you use Firefox for a browser, there's an add-on that grabs videos. YouTube, Vimeo, etc

[Q] Hulu Plus on "Flash Video Browser" app?

OK...I bought this app because I wanted a simple way to get Hulu Plus working. I am running CM7 via a dual-boot SD card since I wanted to preserve the original B&N functionality. Adobe Flash 11 is installed too.
I'm hoping this is something really simple. When I start up the app and go to Hulu, the Hulu web page loads with no issues. So, I click on "Log In" and two things happen:
1. For a brief second, a login dialog pops up int he upper right (same as regular Hulu) asking me to enter a user name and password. It's only on the screen for about half a second.
2. Immediately afterwards, the web browser just goes to an "about:blank" page.
So, how I can I get past this and log into my Hulu Plus account to watch videos?
Unless I'm missing something the easy way to watch Hulu Plus is to download the Hulu Plus app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449110
I'd recommend going that route unless there is some reason why it wouldn't work with a dual boot setup. Your purchase isn't a total loss though I wouldn't mind having it for YouTube videos that won't play on mobile browsers. Just make sure you disable ad blocker if you have it installed before using the flash browser app.

I don't have it in front of me right now actually but the app definitely doesn't work. I think it gives some sort of "Your device is not supported" error but I'll check when I get home. So I'm looking for alternatives.
Well if you download the app from Google Play (Android Market) then you will probably have that problem. But the link I posted is from another thread here and its a modded APK that works very well. Again it should work unless there's an issue with dual boot setups I'm not aware of. Lol I've missed things before and some people make sure you know it.
Don't forget disabling ad blocker is the easiest and most common fix for your app in question. I would still recommend the Hulu app but you might as well get this browser app working too.
figured it out...
if you go to hulu.com/signin it will redirect to a login page... login..... this will save the cookie..... use back to exit fvb then when you open again just hit hulu ..... I found this post looking for a solution.... then did some experimenting and this just worked for me like 5 minutes ago.... hope this helps

thanks.. :fingers-crossed:
i hope it is not a virus infected site..
update:
it loaded/installed just fine.. and ran..
first try.. it got to hulu.com.. and showed full website.
tried to play a show.. it locked up.. had to FC it.
ran the app again.. going to hulu.com .. was a white screen. and that is all you can see.
so.. that app has been blocked or does not support hulu anymore.
NOTE: i did not try to load an older version of Flash Player. this might fix it.
but I am giving up on this.. till something is developed better.

Hulu Plus works beautifully on my Nook Color. Running CM10 from the SD Card.
It's not entirely clear whether or not you're using the modded app linked in the 2nd post. You need to use the modded app. Here's a link:

Before running the app, be sure to temporarily disable any ad-blocking you may be using.

Don't know if my different nook or rooted stock rom makes a difference. I have a rooted Nook Tablet (NT), no custom ROM. I cannot login from the directions in the earlier posts. However, I can watch certain things by browsing for them without signing on.
Here's what happens... I use the Flash Video Browser (bought in store... can't remember if it was through amazon, google play, etc.). I search for a show. If they have free versions of that show click on it (I think logging in might allow a higher quality but it looks great on my 7" screen as is). If ever you are confronted with a white screen, in address bar it says "about:blank", I hit the back button (I use the back button on Button Savior from Google Play store). When I hit the back button it plays the video.
If it shows the white screen after you search, similarly the back button will bring you back to the search results. Hope this helps.

WWE Network

I saw that WWE Network App came out for the Amazon Fire TV, has anyone attempted to sideload that apk to the ouya?
Looks like its tied to the amazon app store app, it wont launch unless you have the amazon app store installed.
UPDATED Got it to work outside of the fire tv:
Modified the apk to work on other android devices. i belive it only works on 4.2 and above (Sorry Ouya stock people)
*Updated with 1.0.1 Version*
Download Here
Hope this isnt against any forum rules. the application is free and wont work unless the person pays for WWE Network Subscription. Which i DO

I actually have another post up on the amazon fire tv forums asking for an extraction and someone was kind enough to provide the apk for me, since i 'bought' the app on the web app store despite not hacing a device able to run it and also having the amazon app store on the device, i was able to run it. i did have lots of issues and while video technically works, i was not able to pause fast forward etc only go back here is the post:
So i was able to purchase/own the wwe network app from the online amazon store despite me not technically having a device it would run on, this box can also install the amazon app store no problem, though it obviously only sees the android wwe network app and not this one.. GOOD NEWS is that the app is working on my account! its def a bit wonky but i am hoping it is some stuff i can fix with some DPI xposed changes or something of the like, thanks so much very appreciated, and def works!!

I know this post is from 100 years ago, I'm trying to remove the amazon dependency from the APK but I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove the "check". Can you tell me what you changed in the APK so it will run without the Amazon app store being installed?
Edit: NVM, I got it.

It would login and then never actually play the video. I ended up exporting the apk from my fire stick and side loading it to my android box. I also had to install the Amazon underground app in order for the apk to work.

Bypass market app restrictions?

I purchased an app off the market to use on my phone. Does anyone know a way to install a paid app on the nexus player running lolirock?
My phone isn't rooted so I can't pull the apk from my phone.... =/
Of course you can, use APK Share from KN Inc (Play Store).

Oh wow, that's awesome! I didn't realize I could get an apk of a purchased app without root.
Thanks brandogg!
Just trying to do my part. I have Google Drive on my ADT-1, I just use "share" on the KN app and it's available within a few seconds or so. Bear in mind there will still be a handful of apps that don't work.
Also, you're probably already aware of this, but in your web browser (even on Chrome on the Nexus Player or ADT-1) you can go to play.google.com/store and search for apps then choose which device to send it to from there. There are quite a few apps that are completely compatible with the Android TV devices, they just don't show up in the Play Store app (probably because they don't have all the appropriate icon packs, etc). Saves a little bit of time that way.
