Lightpack (Prismatik) and Nexus Player - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Lightpack box that I was using on my HTPC runing Kodi. However, I wanted to replace that with the Nexus Player. I've rooted and installed Prismatik 0.4 on my Nexus Player, however it doesn't seem to be able to use the screen capture, though it will show the mood lighting or solid color.
Has anyone ran into this issue, or even gotten the Lightpack working properly with any android 5.0 device?

Hi, I'm also trying to capture screen with Prismatik 0.4 on ODROID-XU running the aplha of Android 5.0 , but ran into the same problem - requesting root access (granted), then Prismatik complains smth. about "new capture server cannot be used, use the old one instead", and nothing happens.
However, IIRC, on my previous CM11 4.4.4 with ODROID-XU, Prismatik behaved the same.
There is github for prismatik-for-android for issue reporting and google+ group... I beleive we should post our logs there.

Have you had any luck finding a solution?

You have got futher than i have so far.
It seeing the lightpack and has root access but cant it do a thing not a single light comes on

Crackle update fixes A500

Seems like the latest Crackle update has resolved issues with the A500 not being able to display video. I have been waiting on this for a while. (sorry if this has already been reported)
Nice ive been waiting on this...i searched but cannot find the new app, nor the update. Care to share?
Since it is a free app, I'm assuming it is ok to share it here.
Here it is...
Crackle
However, I only get audio, no video.
Running Taboonay 2.2
Anybody getting video?
nope...

No video or sound for me, just black screnn.
I downloaded straight off the market.
Running taboonay 2.2 w/ richards 3.7.
Works but finicky on startup
Im running market version of crackle on stock 3.2.
Its kind of quirky.....if you open the app and choose your movie or show, you will then get a split screen. black screen with blue swirling circle at top and movie info at bottom.......when you see this just hit the home button to exit out of the app.
Then reopen the crackle app and wait a few seconds and the movie will start.
Tap on the movie to see the full screen button at lower right.
Works every time on my machine.

[Q] problem with flash video on nexus 7

Hi I recently got a nexus 7 and I followed the instructions I have seen here on how to install flash on my nexus 7. It works but my problem is when I watch streaming flash video on say sockshare or putlocker for example the video does not continue to buffer when I pause, so flash video is unwatchable at the moment because when playing the video stops to buffer every 5 seconds. I'm using Firefox beta as my browser. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it
Which tutorial did you follow to get this working? I tried a tutorial from YouTube but it didn't work.
Can you explain real quick the steps you took to install flash and your ROM please?

btw, adobe and flash dont support jelly bean or the newest devices. flash isnt made for it. so whatever bugs exist in flash running jelly bean, wont be fixed by adobe. that said, ive found that flash runs best on the aosp android browser, not quite perfect, but not bad.

Does the hulu site in desktop mode allow you to view their videos with the AOSP browser? As I understand that's a root only browser, correct? If so, I wasn't interested in rooting before but this might make me start working on it. I dislike that I pay for Hulu+ but can't view the same content as on my PC when I'm on my PS3, and now my tablet.

just tried it and it didn't work. you can get the actual hulu page rather than the hulu+ advertisement but videos won't play.
I sideloaded the latest flash apk and it works for me in the Firefox beta. I haven't tried any other browsers yet. I think firefox beta has it set by default to click for flash to play instead of letting it play automatically.
I'm using CM10.1 Nightlies as my Rom.
Here is a link to the latest from the adobe site.
Flash Player 11.1.for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.34)

FYI, here's my setup:
Rrunning 4.1.2 stock factory Rom at the moment, unlocked & rooted - turned off/disabled/hide Chrome Browser. D/L & install "Boat Browser" from Market (support Flash) used by some of the custom Rom & d/l Flash 11.1.115.17 from links here on XDA (or from Adobe's website). Boot into Recovery, wipe cache & reboot OS.
Launch Boat Browser, go into Settings (3 dots bar on bottom right) and go to "Page Content Settings" - scroll down if necessary, change "Enable Flash/Plug-ins" to Always on (or "On demand") - Enable JavaScript should be On by default. Changed "Set as default browser" to On as necessary. Exit & restart Browser - you should not have to reboot N7 again and check your ability to open/view most Flash-based videos, mine is working as it should be - no longer shuttting off or getting the error msg/device not supported, yada yada.
As for playback of most stored or d/l videos on the N7 - I liked & used "Mobo" player - free from the Market.
Profit - now, there's a lot more to watch streaming on the N7 besides Youtube & CNN video clips. Questions or more issues, please post & will try to help - not new to Android but still on a learning curve with the N7. Good luck as it should work even for those running near stock setup.
OK what I don't understand is with my desktop if I'm watching a streaming video and it is taking a while to load I will pause it and go do something else while it loads and come back when enough of it is loaded to watch uninterrupted. With my nexus 7 that I just got when I pause the videos don't continue to load. therefore when I try to watch a streaming movie it stops to continue to load every couple of seconds and it makes watching a streaming movie unwatchable. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution to it

How do I get flash to work without stutter?

I tried a few versions of flash but all the videos I try stutter very bad as they will play for a few seconds and pause play and pause constantly.
On my desktop with flash these videos work fine.
Tried many browsers with no success. Firefox, Ocean, Boar, Dolphin Pad.
Also I can't seem to go fullscreen without getting a black screen.
Anyone else experienced this and how do I fix it and what version actually works on 4.2.2?
Just got the tablet today rooted with superboot and running official 4.2.2 JDQ39
Hi,
It seems that I'm having quite similar issue - whenever I try to play some flash content, video doesn't play fluently - there are multiple framedrops and it's really hard to watch e.g. football games :/ What to do?
BTW: I'm also running official stock 4.2.2 JDQ39
Well considering flash is not supported in any way there is no guarantee of a fix for the issues you have. It is possible that you need more CPU speed when watching a flash video. Frame drops have been known to come from too low CPU speed. So set your up_threshold to be lower for your cpu governor and see if that helps.
I downloaded the last version of flash they made and side loaded it and use the factory browser to watch YouTube videos that aren't available for the mobile version of YouTube and I get zero stutter or problems of any kind. I'll try some other sites and report back though.

Seems YouTube videos do indeed work fine on the desktop version of the site in full screen for me, but dailymotion will cause a crash if I go to full screen. It won't even stutter, just crashes. Interesting... All flash videos seem to work fine as long as I don't full screen them.

I have had the full screen issue for a long time and have more or less narrowed it down to different screen dpi. Check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217316
Use any PA type rom with tablet UI in hybrid settings and everything will work. I currently use Vanilla Rootbox, youtube works flawlessly.
Sent from my GT-N7100 or the Nexus 10, heaven knows.
Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.
Had a feeling it was DPI with full screen as some stuff in boat works full others don't every other browser doesn't like full screen.
I was thinking about trying some roms and seeing if flash works better as you can always go back to the stock firmware.
Noticed this tablet doesn't include that scaling option for apps where it stretches the app or extends etc.
As for me being a noob, I'm not new to android but haven't played with overclocks etc though have flashed and added a few apk's to a few roms before and know my way around the os file structure etc as well as knowing some stuff about linux and windows etc.
I just found it strange that I got this device installed flash and stuff wasn't fluent and pausing every few seconds when soo many around say that flash works perfect.
I had a Cube U30GT-H but it died within 1 week which had 4.1 and flash worked fine on that. So I figured this was mby 4.2.2 causing the issue or the stock rom and everyone using flash are on custom roms or something.
I wonder, could you get a copy of the plain old android browser that supports flash and install it? I can try it later for you if you want and let know you. I must go to bed now though

Ah skipped over your post, so it does work then
If anyone can look at things either that old browser or whatever would be appreciated.
Also we can find out what works for flash for users and have some proper compatibility list as I don't see much proper info online at all about flash on this device and compatibilities apart from users posts saying they have it working or whatever with no actual info to back themselves up.
If anyone has flash working fluidly please post these details as below:
Flash Version:
Flash Download Location:
Browser + Version:
Rom + Version:
Sometimes I have seen variances of a single flash version with file sizes and compatibility thats why I added the download link if you know it or upload your apk. Also what rom and its version you are running as thats important.
Tried a few different browsers and a couple of roms and nothing seems to really fix the issue so imo now flash just isn't worth it on the tablet.
Old browser on CM or AOKP doesn't work.
Ill try some different flash apk's at some stage on CM and see what the compatibility is as I had a similar issue on another tablet which turned out to be the certain apk files I had tried.
Seems the stutter might be live video as a transformer owner on another forum mentioned that does the same thing and thats what I have been testing to try to get working.
For youtube etc it may be that they are using different ways to transmit there videos so flash may not actually be active or something even on the desktop version of the site.
Its more confusing now as I was trying one site which stutters on the tab and fine on the pc for certain streams even though the quality is pretty low.
I found a app called Photon Flash Player and Browser it plays the flash streams perfect I've been trying without stutter.
Only problem it does not allow flash windows to be full screen and is very naggy about you buying a year subscription also you need to use a connected mouse if you want to do scrolling etc.
If there is anything thats alternative and less naggy etc then thats better but this is the only way I found to watch flash perfect as it actually works.
I'll keep looking and please comment back anyone using custom stock etc roms your flash experiences so we can actually get this issue solved for everyone.
Kinda seems I'm the only one trying to solve the flash issue on this device here.

Many thanks for that information
Mine is UE40ES6100W and i've no fullscreen/mirroring option on my TV menu.
I've wi-fi direct and it pairs but i just can't do anything that i already done with stock video app, only watch movies and in my case without subtitles so i use BubblePNP wich is excelent for that.
Just for curiosity i've investigated and stumbled into http://www.samygo.tv/
This weekend i'll search a little deeper to see what's this and what can we do with it.

Weird Video on SlingPlayer

I'm getting some weirdness while using Slingplayer on my Samsung S7 Edge. I do not have this problem with my Nexus 6. It's quite distracting. I took a video since it's easier than explaining it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGUfh6tFk_g
Any feedback would be great.
/edit/ Basically, there's a green "screendoor" look whenever the video has the slingplayer overlay and when I change channels the entire video goes green while the same thing on my Nexus 6 is fine with the slingplayer overlay and just black video feed when changing channels. I'm actually pretty surprised no-one else has reported something similar since I can't be the only Samsung S7 user that also has a slingplayer.
I will also add that sometimes the green overlay also happens in slingplayer when I'm streaming and no Slingplayer menu is up...
Looks like you may have to update your video codecs for this player to work.

Any suggestions on how to do that? Furthermore, how would I get Slingplayer to use the updated codecs? I believe the video codecs Slingplayer uses are self-contained...
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
FYI, others have reported on the youtube video they had similar issues on their S7. One person mentioned the greenscreen started happening after a Samsung update on an ATT phone (mine is a Tmo). That sucks since I'd think it'll take alot longer for Samsung to fix their code than Sling...
Tmo's recent update did not resolve this. It included other fixes (power/volume? issue, etc).
Update: there is a way to fix this. Thanks to "JG 3" at youtube:
Enable Developer Mode, go in to Developer Options and enable the option called "Turn off hardware overlays" (Always use GPU for screen compositing).
For those more knowledgeable than me: will this impact battery life and is there a way to enable this only when launching Slingplayer?
