I am just curious. It would be great to create and edit like the imovie app.
WeVideo?
I do regular web searches to see if anybody has developed a viable video editor / movie maker for android, and finally there's some hope.
Just came across this tonight - http://blog.wevideo.com/bid/272187/WeVideo-Launches-iMovie-Competitor-App-for-Android
It's a new app called WeVideo (just released, so it's still in BETA), and it's pitching itself as an iMovie-like editor for ANdroid, with some cloud-based features and other differences, but what's important as it appears to provide full "movie making" capabilities across various Android devices.
I just tried it out and it works well, with a few oversights like:
- No transition control
- No volume control for music tracks
- No local, uncompressed storage of published video (not that I've found anyhow)
Just for starters. But, if you don't mind using their simple theme, and don't want to include your own music, it works pretty well.
It's also nice that it supports publishing of your videos directly to YouTube, despite not exporting to sdcard etc.
I'll post this reply in a few other threads asking about better video editors for Android as well.

I've just downloaded AndroMedia. Seems pretty fully featured
For example this nice one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPC1TgpbwQc
why?
some videos have met with copyright infringement for materials(music, images, videos) used owned by big companies and all. while it's viewable on a desktop, the phone might not. that's what I've gathered at least.
I think it is just codec support or something because I found tons of video where there is no audio at all. Additionaly this video work just fine on windows mobile and iphone.
Probably some bug with video playback on android.
Also favorite video option on youtube app (on i9000) not working very well.
I have never encountered any videos without sound unless the sound had been removed due to copyright enfringement.
But there are a lot of videos that don't work on most mobile devices because the author didn't enable it for mobile devices. It's an option he/she can choose when uploading a film.
I'm not sure if this or Q&A is a better place for this, so I'm reposting here as well.
I really like to sort my videos into a nice little heirarchy as supported in iTunes. Ie: Movies, Video Clips and TV shows then TV Shows further sorted into series and then possibly season. I've always liked iTunes' ability to let me do this but the program is slow and resource intensive and doesn't sync with Android.
I recently got an Xperia Play which came with the Media Go software. This software lets set videos as Movies, Clips or Shows and set season and series info, etc.. all that wonderful stuff. Now I'm hoping to find a media player or organizer that can continue this.
Does anyone have a program they can recommend that can detect the type of media a video file is from this data and sort it appropriately? And is compatible with Xoom as my Xoom tablet is the device I intent do use for viewing videos (Bigger screen and all that after all. )
Does any one know of a good looking video widget like this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34335039) that shows videos stored on the device i think it would look really good and havent been able to find anything like this .
Any other good looking video widgets would be much appreciated.
Thank You

I believe that the widget displayed in the link is from MovieBrowser UPnP/DLNA and is titled "MovieBrowser Carousel". Note that only the paid version has the widgets included "THIS IS THE PAID VERSION WITH UPnP/DLNA, SAMBA AND WIDGETS". I have this app and use those widgets. I also like the widget "MovieBrowser Next Episode" which analyses your collection for TV shows and displays upcoming episodes in a scrollable list. It is useful and attractive.
Another app that has both TV and Movie widgets similar to the app I mentioned above is Mizuu. I was using a beta verison so cannot remember if the widgets are resticted to the paid version. The beta version is months old and was supposed to work better on tablets. I suspect that beta is over and has been released by now.
Last is the native Google media widget that comes preinstalled with the Nexus 10. I do not use Googles media services so removed those apps.
I no longer use either of the for mentioned apps (just the TV episode widget), as my collection is too big for one and/or the update time is way to long to use for video playback. I do use an alpha XBMC with video HW acceleration but it does not have any widgets and being alpha occassionaly crashes during playback. It can easily handle my full video collection and has reasonable update times when started.
Apparently they've added them in a update, anyone with a UK Sony tv able to pull and post them?
If you're saying that there's a BBC iPlayer app for Android TV that works with a remote, then I too hope that someone fills this request. It would be interesting to try it out on the Nexus Player.

Yeah BBC iPlayer, BBC News and BBC Sports were all on the Sony android tv I tried in John Lewis. Hopefully someone with one can figure it out and post them.
I'm looking for the same thing for the Australian Catch-up TV apps too.
My theory was to try and pull an update from the Sony support web site and extract the apps from there
(e.g. UK: http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/KD-55X8505C)
I've only looked briefly, but it's not obvious what the file format is though.
From what I've read, the Sony TVs might use a MediaTek SoC (arm based) whereas the Nexus Player is x86, so I'm unsure if this will even work.
I can help extract from the update pkg, if only i could open the pkg file on my mac... any help here?

Hey, There are some 3rd party apps available for ABC, and SBS at this thread http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2447003
I would happily post this and any other UK apps that you guys want, however, I cannot seem to find the iplayer apk or any of the other catchup channel apks. The only one that I can find in relation to catchup services is the youview apk.
It's possible that the youview apk contains all the other catchup apks as the catchup services are integrated into youview.
The only way of using youview is setting it as the default tuner for the TV and it then takes over as the EPG and actual TV watching app.
It's also possible that installing the youview apk will also install the catchup services (iplayer, all4 etc...) and you could choose not to use youview as the main TV tuner but still get the other apps.
Hopefully this all makes sense.
I have looked in system apps and user apps during my search, if there is anywhere else to hunt these apks down in the file system then please point me to it.

This isn't to do with the Sony apps or the VouView app, but there is also a Nvidia Shield iPlayer apk specifically for Android TV that would probably be better to approach for getting iPlayer working on the Nexus Player.
This obviously doesn't fix the problem of 4OD and the other YouView apps, as they're probably not standalone apps, but at least it's one step closer, and would hopefully get iPlayer working at the very least. The iPlayer app consists of 2 parts, there's the main app which is just iPlayer, and there is an add-on app that adds BBC News & Sports, but it's required you have iPlayer installed to use them. And, of course. Because Nvidia made them, they're probably restricted to the Nvidia Shield, though I don't know as I haven't seen anyone else test them on the Nexus Player yet.
Here's a link to download the latest versions of both the iPlayer and Add-ons apks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63331976&postcount=34l=0
