Google Nexus 10 is not able to play private Android app. - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have Google Nexus 10 and I have rooted it. I have build my own video player app which I am typically using it to play H264 encoded RTP streams.
But I am not able to play the RTP stream on Google Nexus 10 using my video player app. However, I am able to play the same RTP stream using the same APK on other tablets like Google Nexus 9, Samsung Galaxy Tab4, and Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
NOTE:
I am able to play RTSP stream on using my app on Google Nexus 10 but not RTP stream.
But while playing RTP stream using my app, log shows:
udp_resolve_host: No address associated with hostname
LAVF_header: av_open_input_stream() failed
Is there any Firewall / app protection settings that I need to change to be able to use my app?
I have "Unknown sources" option checked under security-->Device administartion settings.
**An update to my above question.
I debug this issue further more and I found out that getnameinfo() API call is failing on Google Nexus 10. So I am using ff_getnameinfo() instead as a workaround for this issue and I am able to play RTP stream now.
Can any expert please let me know why getnameinfo() API call might fail, but only on Google Nexus 10? Possibly a security or Android config issue ?
NOTE:
getaddrinfo() API call does not seem to be failing. Android version on Google Nexus 10: 4.2.2(Jelly Bean).
Thank you,
Harshal Patel

[Q] Youtube and Opera Mobile Problem

I have a standard Kindle Fire, I have not unlocked it or modified the software in any way. I sideloaded Opera Mobile, and have found it to be a big step up over the default Silk browser. I however have run into a problem using it to view Youtube videos.
If I leave the user agent as "tablet", I'm redirected to the mobile version of the video. When I click to play, I get an error message saying vdn.youtube is an unregistered protocol, instead of either playing in-browser or playing in the Kindle video player. I've done some searching, and apparently m.yahoo.com is trying to play the video in the default Android Youtube application which is not on the Fire nor available in the Kindle App store. Anyone know where I can find this in order to sideload it? Or know what to do to get it to launch the video in the Fire video player?
I can set the user agent to "desktop" and play back videos that way, but they playback in the browser window, which is less than ideal and has performance issues. So that isn't a solution.

[Q] Miracast and Google Play Music are incompatible

I have two Nexus 4 and one New Nexus 7(2013).
I try to use Google Play Music on those devices to miracast with my PTV3000.
No one can work successfully.
Environment:
Two Nexus 4 with official 4.3 ROM and include Google Play Music (5.1.1109K.772337).
One Nexus 7 2013 with official 4.3 ROM and include Google Play Music (5.1.1109K.772337).
PTV3000 (both version 2.2.16 and 2.4.3 are tried)
Test Step:
1. enable wireless display and start Miracast to PTV3000.
2. Wait until the Miracast connection is established.
3. open Google Play Music, and select any song to play
=> a. can't play
=> or b. Miracast is broken.
I try to rollback Google Play Music version to 5.0.1042J.737497.
It works like a charm.
Could someone help me to reproduce this issue and report to Google?
Thanks.

[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.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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?

MLB.TV v1.3.4 App Not Loading Video

The MLB.TV app for Android TV updated to v1.3.4 recently.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bamnetworks.mlbtv
This new version only shows a black screen when trying to watch any video on it. Has anyone else encountered this problem on their Nexus Player? I don't think it's a regional blackout issue because videos are playable on the MLB At Bat app on my Nexus 5 which is still able to cast content over to the Nexus Player. The MLB.TV app was working fine at v1.3.2 but I don't have a saved copy of the older APK file to revert back to.
Anyone? The problem is still ongoing so until the MLB.TV app starts working properly, it's only good for displaying scores. I'll just have to cast games over to the Nexus Player instead.
Same problem since last update (that was on Saturday I think..)
Some good folks on Reddit got it working by disabling and re-enabling Location in the android settings and then reinstalling the app but no luck for me. Tried bunch of times, many reboots, clear cache etc..
Sadly, I can't find an older .apk to downgrade
At least now I know I'm not the only one who's experiencing this. Can you post a link to the reddit page where they discussed this problem? I think you're referring to https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/3isfu0/mlbtv_premium_broken_after_update/ if I'm not mistaken. I tried the location setting adjustment and uninstall / reinstall of the MLB.TV app on my Nexus Player but that still didn't fix the video problem. The radio streams work but who installs this app on Android TV to listen to radio streams? I'm disappointed that MLB.TV v1.3.3 and v1.3.4 were released without adequate testing.

It seems to be working on Shield and some Sony TVs :S
I wonder if upgrading to M Preview could help
October is coming.. better fix this soon
FYI I flashed M preview 3 to find out MLB.tv doesn't work on Prev 2&3 ..
Flashed last factory image for 5.1.1 and now the app works perfectly. FINALLY
I'd rather not reflash my Nexus Player with a factory image. I flashed Android 5.1.1 (LMY48J) a few weeks ago and don't plan to start over until Android 6.0 Marshmallow is officially released this year. It's disappointing that the MLB.TV app is still problematic but I'll stick with casting games and video clips from MLB At Bat until things change for the better.
Hmmm, now that Google has released Android 5.1.1 build LMY48N, I may go ahead and flash that factory image and try the MLB.TV app after a clean install.

Okay, so MLB.TV v1.3.4 is working on a clean install of Android 5.1.1 LMY48N. I've noticed that when I install AdAway and its latest hosts file, however, this leads to the black screen issue with MLB.TV videos.

OMG.. so that means the only reason why I couldn't watch games was that I had AdAway?
I think so, @koperniczx3. I wish I had realized it before I resorted to a clean install of Android but it seems to be what causes the black screen issue on my current configuration. Once the AdAway hosts file is disabled and the Nexus Player is restarted, MLB.TV videos play again. I think that this conflict with AdAway has something to do with this line from the MLB.TV v1.3.3 changelog:
- Support for Pre Roll Ads on Free Game of the Day and Game Recaps for free mlb.com registered users.
I'll just have to do without AdAway until after the MLB postseason. The ironic thing is that AdAway has a "Log DNS Requests" feature that could be used to identify and whitelist the MLB server(s) but that feature is generally inaccessible on Android TV because the 3 dots menu in that app (and other sideloaded apps) is missing on Android 5.1 and higher.

HOWTO Access ENTIRE GOOGLE PLAY Store on Amazon Fire TV / Fire TV Stick 4k

Hey guys, Came across a great APK which allows you to access the entire playstore on your Android TV.
Yalp Store uses the same (protobuf) API the android Play Store app uses. It downloads apks directly from Google servers.
By default Yalp Store connects to Google services using a built-in account, so you do not have to own a Google account to use it. The only reason to use a live Google account is to access the paid apps you own.
Each time you log in a new Google Services Framework id (also known as device id) is generated using your device parameters.
For us to access all the apps all we need to do is spoof our device ID with another handset (Nexus / Pixel / Samsung tab etc).
You can see a demo of me installing the full version of Google Chrome and also Youtube TV direct on my 4K firestick
Do other apps see this as Play Services also? I have an app that apparently requires Google play services, and it seems that the other method for putting that on the Fire TV 4k is not working anymore.
That's not YouTube TV you are installing. That's YouTube for Android TV. It's just regular Youtube, and not the live TV and DVR version of YouTube TV.
stuck on "check Yalp Store Credential" and no way tonuse mine... sorry...
