[Q] Streaming Amazon Prime HD Videos? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there some way or workaround to allow streaming of Amazon Prime HD videos from Amazon.com?
I can stream Amazon Prime movies in SD with no problems at all, but when I try to stream any HD content, I get a window popup with the message:
'You can not playback this HD movie via the Amazon.com website. HD movie playback is limited to Kindle Fire HD, Xbox 360, PS3, Roku, TIVO or other Amazon Instant Video HD Compatible devices. Would you like to watch the Standard Definition version instead?'
Any suggestions?

TV Catchup doesn't work

I have just tried m.tvcatchup.com (UK only) on my Tab and the Samsung video player won't play the live TV streams, it works fine on my Desire with stock video player, the Tab says "this video cannot be played"
any ideas for a solution?
I don't want to use the full site as the flash video doesn't use the full screen like a video player does
Try vplayer alpha from the market.

Flash player hd

<hi,
i know the tegra 2 limitations (fail) about h264 hd high profile, it is the same with video flash hd 720p -1080p uploaded for example in youtube when they are high profile ( and other major straming sites over the internet)?
Or youtube converts video hd in a different way tegra 2 is able to play (i am assuming you watch video flash hd trough the browser, not trough youtube application)?
thanks

Quicktime On Fire?

Does anyone know of a video player for the Fire that will play Quicktime videos?
My mom received an email with a link to a video, but it wouldn't play.
When I accessed it from my iPad, I saw it was a Quicktime video.
I didn't know the Fire doesn't play those natively.
Go to the market type in quicktime player or hell go to Google and type in quicktime player for Android.
It amazes me how some of you people even found your way to XDA Forums.

I would like to know that as well, I've read you can stream via DLNA/Allshare to a Samsung TV, but it seems those apps only stream a local file. Also I wonder whether the Nexus 7 is capable of downloading the stream whilst streaming it along to the TV.

Too expensive i think. What I will try out is a Samsung MHL cable (see Amazon) and attaching a WiiMote to the device. This should transfer the screen/audio while giving me the freedom to control it from the couch.
As of now, I have testes Plex Media Server in conjunction with the Plex App on the Nexus, which is really impressive on its own already, since I can for example link every YouTube Video I like (via myplex) and stream that from my PC to the TV (even without the Android App, since the TV recognizes the Plex Media Server on its own via DLNA!). I can also stream my Video Folders to Tablet and/or TV whenever I like. The only downside of this is that I have to have the PC running.
For streaming videos from the Google Play store I think iMediashare will be sufficient, since one can select whichever file residing on the tablet and stream it to the TV. I could not test it with Play Store Videos yet, since I get the error that I have downloaded the complimentary Transformers 3 to the maximum of devices already (which I haven't) whenever I click the download option in the Google Video Player. But from what I gather, it should be possible to download a video (rent) and instead of viewing it via the Google Video App, open it in iMediashare and stream that to the TV. Using the WiiMote App, it should also have a remote then.
In case one can't open the rental video outside of Google Video App, it should still work using the MHL Cable.
If you check that out, let me know whether it works for you
I will be able to do further testing when my replacement Nexus arrives, since I got and 8GB instead of 16GB version, I will have to wait until I got it swapped.
and therefore do not pile nexus 7...NO HDMI :/
I wait for acer a110

[Q] How to play downloaded movies on TV

If I have downloaded movies on my nexus 7 2012, 4.4.4, how can I play them on my TV? I download movies that are a variety of formats. Usually play them on my tablet with MX, Diceplayer, or VLC. Is there anyway to get them on my TV? I have a 7 year old Panasonic plasma TH-50PX80U.
Chromecast. If you have hmdi.

i thought chromcast would play certain subscription channels. i want to play movies from my nexus 7 2012, that are playing video files that i copied to the device, and they are playing in vlc, mx, diceplayer, etc.
Chromecast can do this, you can stream directly from certain apps on your device, or from your chrome browser on any PC, to the chromecast via your wifi network.
There are also other apps that help extend this functionality on our device, such as localcast and allcast, both free in the play store.
I've streamed movies/tv from MX player to my chromecast using the allcast app and it worked pretty well.
There's also a mod available to stream your screen to the chromecast without needing an extra app; i've not had the chance to test this myself yet, but it's been reported to work well (here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193) .
This functionality is now native to the 2013 Nexus 7, but sadly not for grouper
The link "[EXPERIMENTAL] Enable Mirroring from any device" that you mentioned said that we need to have "root access on your device". How would I know if I have root access?
