Goodbye Mashup! - Fire TV General

Just got the final update and goodbye message from Mashup on my unit.... It is now officially gone for personal liability reasons as best as I can understand the message. That was my favorite App! I hope someone resurrects something very similar to it... RIP Mashup.... Sure loved that app!
On the other hand Popcorn-Time.... ( the one that's always worked and still does) just released and android apk for the program. Just installed it and although I haven't created a shortcut for it yet...( I have to run in form the applications section...where Llama is located) it is working great and has a beautiful layout for all the movies. You need a keyboard to make selections, but the films load quickly and play very well...)
I don't know if I can post links.....Mods please remove this if I can't, but it can be found here... https://popcorn-time.se/

Therr are still plenty of good alternatives. Be careful with popcorn time as it uses public trackers i believe. Always use it with a VPN or proxy.

bad news indeed
Not happy as only just bought my box and mashup seemed a really good source. Not least for the Thunder Cats episodes that where I there haha....awesome classic cartoon. I hope this doesn't start a trend in goodbyes as at a glance before istream not showing any kinda links either ?

Genesis seems to be a decent alternative....and as far as Popcorn goes.... I agree. The best feature they have though is that when you play a movie it is stored in a temp folder and as soon as you close the program the temp folder is deleted so no traces are left for tracking. I would think that with as many end users as there are, more emphasis would be placed on stopping the source rather than end users. DTV went after end users years ago and were successful in scaring many people into paying up to several thousand dollars, having to subscribe to their top tier of service for 2 years and signing a waiver allowing them to come into your home unannounced at any time to check for unsubscribed devices. Those who actually got a lawyer to answer them went untouched since DTV had bigger fish to fry and were getting multitudes of uninformed people to go along with their scam. End users will be the last to go after as it requires more time and effort as well as money to try to make money from it. They'll try to shut down the source and if it's kept anyplace that the new millennium act has no jurisdiction over they'll be safe. I understand it's in Bulgaria, but could be wrong about that. Zona is another program hosted in Russia that is much like popcorn except that you have the choice of downloading or watching, or both. Sometimes the connections are not the best, but it's an excellent source.

A little sad to see MashUp go, but I honestly stopped using it and something else will fill its spot. I understand that HackerMils is already working on something. I'm a little leery of posting the better alternatives I use as I imagine the internet police probably find their targets from keyword searches.

You can still use it. Someone made a fix for Mashup. Worked perfectly for me. I should also add, there is a link to the download on the youtube page. The errors looks to have been fixed as well. At least I'm not getting the error anymore.

MashUp fix
I got this from h**p://www dot husham dot com however the site is running real slow so I just copied his info to post here. You need to download the patched MashUp zip file and manually add it to XBMC.
once done your MashUp will work, however it will show a error saying it can't url something but that is because the Patch is blocking it from updating and deleting itself.
It still will work as it was before the error just pops up in the bottom corner and then goes away.
the link is to Mega share, enjoy.

good find.. but i think its not going to matter.. someone needs to keep mashup updated or its not going to work well for very long.

Guys it is sad to see mashup go. But they are currently working on a replacement. Follow hackermil on twitter as he and his people are teaming up to bring out an epic addon

Most of the links don't work when i tried.. cant play any of the movies/tv shows etc. So what really is working does anyone know ?
Fingers crossed for an alternative soon.

Sony Location Free Player

I started a thread a few months ago concerning a proprietary video player that Sony used for their Location Free Player devices. Well...
The software code has now been moved to open source status and is free for full linux development. I'm hoping I can convince one of you savvy developers to whip up the player so it can run on either Android or a full linux OS (I use Ubuntu). I'm sure it's a gold mine for tons of other video streaming applications that could potentially run on our devices.
The link to the open source code can be found here along with other Sony open projects.
http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/
Location Free TV is the program I'm specifically talking about. I believe the current version is LFA-PC30. If you would like to read more on this device/player you can check the wiki at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LocationFree_Player
Let me know if anyone has any questions, I very eager to see if this is possible. If I could stream video from my Location Free Player Base I to either my android device or Ubuntu Netbook I would be very very pleased. If a dev is serious I would be more than happy to have them test on my base station. PM or email me if you're interested!
Also, please move to the correct thread if this is in the incorrect area.
agreed!
I too would love to see more on this, my locationfree box could get so much more use.
So a sony base unit (hardware) is needed to try this right
If someone is working on this, and needs a connection to a base station to test ( I have the last version that came out LF-V30 ) message me and I'll send you the adress to connect to my station and the password
Would
Love to see this on Android. This would give new life to my Location Free Box. If not then I may have to move to Sling Player although I would like to stay with Sony.

Anyone out there....?
Darn just when I thought google led me home lol.
So anybody working on this I to would love to see this.
I would love to see this on Android, IOS, WebOS, Windows Phone and A better Verion for Windows Mobile PLS PLS PLS
Hello, Bumping the thread once more, there are plenty of Location free devices out there for people to purchase an paid app from the android store.
Please compile an app from the source code link that OP provided. I am looking forward to it.

Your thoughts on Android App Inventor?

I recently found out (thanks to Cyanogen's Twitter) about Google's Android App Inventor and wanted to see what everyone thought about it? I think it's great in that more apps would theoretically be released, though of questionable quality. But also I'm wondering about the value of development using code, would this become more valuable as a result of laziness on the part of some developers? Or would its value decrease since it's easier to make an application now? I haven't actually used the program yet since I want to gain a firm grasp on actual coding but these questions were in the back of my mind since the invention of things other WYSIWYG eg Web Development.
I'm thinking this is a good thing, you can make apps on the go, for practically anything. It will continually get better, unless it crashes and burns because it floods the market and similar with ultra-****ty programs.
Later on Google will probably release some sort of testing program to run it through the hoops to see if it's good enough, or something like that.
Remember, it's still in beta
great great great, it means idiots like me will be able to solve some of our own niche needs*, that have as yet not be done.
*a special farty sound.
I'm disappointed it's not available for download now. I was all excited reading about it and then realised it's not even out yet.
It can only be a good thing and the app market can easily be changed to filter out the inevitable rubbish it will partly create. However a lot of useful and ingenious apps will also be created that wouldn't have been (like the one I will make).
I'm looking forward to it, there's a few things I want to make that aren't in the marketplace. Just wondering what sort of functionality we will be allowed, if I can make my own task manager/battery monitor widgets for example.
I like the idea too.
Hopefully this doesn't lead to a glutton of bad apps on the market!
Depending on how functional it is, we might never need the market ever again. Half an hour making your own app vs half an hour searching the market and trying half a dozen bloated ad-ridden apps.

Yeah... But who knows, Maybe that TINY niche need is something else that someone might want to use and then that ends up bing a profitable app. Not because It makes a ton of dough, but because it was so quick and easy to make.

This is always a potential. With ease of programming comes more apps, and with more apps comes more Bad apps. But if this helps one person make one useful app, its done its job.
I really hope to get good with this, and maybe have alot of community support here... this could very wellbe a powerful tool for noob developers.
IDK though, I wouldn't think anything could ever replace actually typing out code as opposed to using blocks which is what it seems like App Inventor does.

Have been all over the http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/ website and can't find any links to download or use tools. Am in the UK so maybe that is the problem.
Same here with me. Maybe they need to verify our info and then give us the links to download

Its in beta right now, so like most great Google things in their infancy it is invite only.
App inventor looks wicked, reminds me of Visual Basic only useful since it works on platforms besides Windows >
I think this is a progressive idea!
But hope the market stays as clean as possible with QA Apps!
I made a simple app (send an SMS).
- Made it using the app inventor : Apk file takes 1MB and once installed, the apps takes 3.5MB of space!!! (whitch cannot be moved to SD, even with Froyo)
- I made the same app "the normal way" with the android sdk and eclipse : the apk file takes 13KB and the installed app takes 20KB
I heard that when its released, all the apps will not be put on the market right away... in the future... maybe, but that'll prob be after Google makes a filter as to which apps can be put on the market. Not to mention, the Google $25 market upload fee will still apply, so even if Google doesn't filter, it won't completely flood the market.

I suppose it's to be expected. As with all tools of this type, you get ease and speed when developing but you also get a huge runtime when compiling.
Dragos
Aint normal IMO...
The compiler knows which objects it has to take in account when building the package.
I mean it's not a big deal to include only what is necessary...
Anyway, that size problem (added to some interface bugs i encountered) makes me believe that this project is far from being usable.
By now, the only use I'd make would be prototyping views on it.
It's in BETA for a reason.

Thanks for the interest, i have mailed you the apk file.
Is this meant more as a historical episode guide, or a current episode/TV Guide type of application?
The reason I ask , is I was looking for just such an app last week (The current and upcoming episode type), and found one that works rather well and seems well polished already..
It's called "TV Show Favs" and has the ability to flag shows for your own listing, see upcoming schedules by day, get episode synopsis, guest stars, and you can even look up any show, and look at it's historical episode info.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv-show-favs/com.tvshowfavs
Not that having another app isn't fine... but you might want to see if you can differenciate your app vs this one in some fashion.. your screens look very nice already, but as a user I'd ask myself "What can this new app do that my current one cannot'.
Good luck on the development though...
@DroidGnome
This is more like a historical episode guide, but i do plan to implement upcomng schedules and other features as well.
I did come across that after i started developing this and that app is quite nice already.
What i did not like about that however is the need to register and use an online account,
my application was developed with mostly offline mode in mind.
The only time data network is used is to update the stuff.
However to really get a good idea about the app you would have to try it, so i will try to upload a beta version here soon.
Thanks
update
i have added the latest beta version of the application, if anyone is testing out there let me know whats happening thanks.

OpenLauncher Mod

Figured I'd post what I've been working on the last day or two.
I sideloaded OpenLauncher onto my OUYA and overall am quite impressed with it, and it lets me group things into catagories which is what I wanted.
I wasn't happy with a few aesthetics and the way that OL would show the current running app as a background for the launcher, so I decompiled the .APK and started editing some of the .PNGs. This is what I have so far.
The icons on the dock bar at the bottom are customised too, but the photo is crappy so it doesn't show them well.
Any suggestions/constructive criticisms welcomed.
Also, can someone talk me through how to edit .9 images?

Thanks. Still playing around with it. I figured out the ninepatch thing so I can edit those properly now. I'm no pro by any means, just tinkering and trial and error. Keeps me occupied
I'll post the .APK when I'm done, but obviously all credit goes to the OpenLauncher dev - I just ripped it apart and changed a few things.
Can you find a way to jump into the play store without having to launch Ouya Launcher like BAXY does? Only reason I stopped using OpenLauncher. I like it seamless

I'd love to do that, but sadly I have absolute zero knowledge on how I'd go about it. I'm not a dev by any means, just like to tinker.
Maybe if someone / the dev of BAXY would be able to help me I could give it a go?
I used BAXY for a while and liked it generally, just not aesthetically. Being able to change the background and not relying on the OUYA launcher were plusses, but I didn't like the look of it at all.

Obviously I meant Discover and not Play store but I do believe you already caught that. Yea, functionally BAXY isn't bad but I hate the look.

this is exciting. do you have an apk you'd be willing to post as a beta for now?

At the moment I've stopped doing anything with this. I'm reading around trying to figure out how to add in the functionality to launch Discover and to power off directly.
I've uploaded the .apk to my GDrive as it was too big to upload here. Link is at the bottom of this post, so feel free to use it, change it, share it, whatever. Really all I done was rip open the OpenLauncher apk and edit the stuff in the drawable-xdpi folder with Photoshop. Nothing special.
If you manage to make anything cool yourselves using this as a base, please share it in this thread - I for one would be interested in seeing what people come up with

Well for Discover we could just use the alternative store over in the dev board?
BAXY Launcher figured out the accessing/launching of Discover and Power, maybe ask or team up with the developer?

[APP][Framework] Igaro (JS/Cordova)

Hi All,
This may not be the exact place to put it, but I came across a framework that's just recently been released. It's designed for corova/phonegap as well as the web browser and their webpage is the app you download. It's pure JS/CSS and from a workflow perspective is incredibly quick to pickup (if you know good Javascript then there's nothing to learn).
The documentation is mostly done other than a few module write-ups (the author says it's in progress). I was particularly impressed that the app worked with code I'd previously written and was ready to go with minimal changes. Check it out - http://app.igaro.com
Does look interesting, Im currently working with Cordova on a little app.

If you use it let the author know, he's looking for examples of it being used. Coming from AngularJS I've found it a breath of fresh air, and it's so gawd damn fast on mobile!
Author says the docs only have a few to go and he's presenting it at a JS conference in Melbourne so will have a video to go up.
