Netflix

It seems the apk for Netflix has been leaked can't seem to get it to work fully but maybe someone else can.

I was able to install and launch. I can search movies and manage my queue, but I get an error if I try to stream. Looks more like Netflix is blocking it than a system error.
It would be great to get Netflix streaming.

Netflix not streaming seems to be a DRM issue. More info in this thread.

Amazon Prime bought Netflix of Europe,try their 30 day free movies on their instant video page,3000 movies so far, Free!
I use it on my A7,its great.After free trial its only $79.95 yr.
That s cheaper than Netflix USA and Blockbuster.

Thanks! I am a prime member but didn't know vids could be played on my elocity.

Netflix - Amazon Prime?
I am also a Prime member and can stream videos just fine to my Mac or my lil netbook, but when I try on the A7 tab, it returns a message that Amazon does not have this set up yet for mobile devices. I've even tried signing in through various browsers to the full Amazon site, but each time it seems to recognize my device and says it's not supported.
If you are running something that allows you to stream videos, please do tell!

there are some alternatives to playing hulu / netflix on your mobile...
PlayOn makes it possible to stream from your pc to mobile/tablet.
TVersity makes it possible to stream from hulu.com (no netflix i think)
on your tablet, use something like Skifta to play the DLNA stream, it works.. i tried it with Tversity / hulu.com .. not perfect, but it works..
maybe someone got a better dlna based and cheaper solution?

Netflix app released on market work with several devices wonder how we can make the a7 look like the evo 4g.

if it rely on "DRM" , A7 does not even support it at all..
my port "Blur" do support it, but not sure if its 100% implemented correctly from my side with directories and apps running.
A7 stock firmware has not support at all for DRM media.

I'm confused. I'm able to run Amazon Prime video no problem on mine. I don't remember if there was a app on amazon or what (my fuzzy brain seems to be telling me that there was a download prompted by Amazon the first time I went to the video section).

This is NOT going to happen ever.. Unless you find a wireless to Android Cable ready(assuming you have cable) Digital (assuming your cable is digital) Tv tuner .If you find such a product let us all know... Actually there is a DTV tuner thread in here someplace . but its a euro version i think...
Good Luck

I don't think that passes video back and forth, which is what the OP is looking for.
Maybe this one?

I'm not sure if this is just a remote or what.

ImediaShare works well with Nexus 7 and DLNA LCDs, actually better than AllShare.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the ideas, my aim is to watch on my tablet what I can watch on my smart TV but in an other room e.g. if I am watching DVD on my TV my partner can see it the same from the bedroom as well. Basically like a second screen with the same program on it.
I hope that is give some extra help.
I think the same like if I watch my dreambox on the TV and I can see the same channel on my PC that kind of stuff what I want to achieved if it is possible but with my Nexus 7. Any idea...
:good:
Thanks guys

Help, can it be done? AllShare Cast nexus 10 to Samsung tv

Hi I recently got the 2013 Samsung 8 series TV and was wondering if there is a way to enable all share cast on the nexus 10 for screen mirroring? I have this feature on my siii given its also a Samsung device
Looking around the inter web information is a little vague and conflicting!
Thanks
Dan

For screen mirroring you will need a miracast capable device. Initially the Nexus 10 was supposed to have miracast, but I doesn't (to my knowledge).
You can stream videos and pictures to your tv over WiFi using apps like imedia or bubbleUPnP. (or any dlna player)

I believe it has the capability of doing so hardware-wise, but the settings for it aren't enabled or visible. I think the memory bus or something would be a limitation due to having to push 2560x1600, but perhaps we can just change the resolution (there's some HDMI command thing found recently that does this) and use that?

Yea, wished we could enable it.
I have a netgear ptv3000 receiver. Works well with my dad's Note II.

thanks for the replies.
To give some more background, until very recently i was running XBMC on a win8 front room PC and Yatse on the nexus 10.
the joy was that if i was watching videos on the nexus i could hit Share/Send to Yatse and the XBMC would automatically start playing the stream for me on the TV.
thats the functionality i am looking for.
A lot that I have seen on the play store are simply players in their own right which if i look at my usage is not what i want.
ideally the right app would sit in the background as a service and catch any source (you tube, pictures, music, mxplayer or any where else I can press share/send to)
has anyone seen anything like this ?
at this point i am less interested in screen mirroring as such (until i want to play need for speed on the big tv!!)...
thanks
Dan.

Check out bubbleupnp on the play store. I think this is what you are looking for.

Don't forget, this will allow either the nexus 10, your pc, or a home server to stream media to your tv through WiFi . You just have to make sure the settings in your tv are on for dlna and that your tv is connected to your network.

Yes It Can!?
Initially it was said that N10 would support Miracast
Then we were told neither N7 or N10 would support it.
Now Miracast has been enabled and working for N7, see
ht tp s://github .com/kensuke/ How-to-Miracast-on-AOSP/wiki and ht tp://w ww. you tube.com/watch?v=KNEmaIr3FEg
Even though Kensuke warned about trying it I went ahead and installed the non-tested OTA package for N10
I did not experience any loops as he was afraid of, no errors at all and it seems stable.
The OTA package seems stable but Miracast may or may not work.
I do have "Wireless display" in the menu now. I also believe searching for miracast receiver was working the first time I booted the tablet. Unfortunately I didnt have a miracast receiver nearby then and when I got home it seemed like I had lost the possibility to search for receivers.
I still have "Wireless Display" in the menu though.
Just spreading the word. Maybe and hopefully someone smarter then me would be able to make use of the patch :fingers-crossed:

Plex app

I purchased the plex app about a year ago to use in my tablet, it appears the version available requires plex pass. Does anyone know for sure?

Yes Plex on the Nexus Player is currently in development so it requires plex pass.
At some point in the future it will be released for use without plex pass requirement.

Thanks for the heads up!

The only issue RIGHT Now is that the app freezes constantly while streaming a video, it's crazy.

I use the app and don't subscribe to Plex Pass. I had the old Plex for Android sideloaded on the NP and when they unified the app, it auto-updated and it works fine.
I'm not sure how one could go about reproducing this, try sideloading an old apk and see if it updates?

True, and with zero acknowledgement from Plex

Does Xfinity app work 100% with Shield TV?

I want to purchase the shield TV but only if this app works properly. I have a another Android TV (Mi Box) and I cannot get live streams from the app, only on demand. Thank you.

Yes it works via sideload app I have been using it for months. Just make sure you use the actual controller and not the remote as you will need the right stick to maneuver it.

OK cool, so you can live stream TV just like on a tablet?

Wanted to confirm if this is the x1 app or the older go app? Thinking to get a shield to use for extra comcast tv box.

for me running full marshmallow, go app works, newer TV app gives an error stating it's only compatible with mobile devices. Anybody know a workaround for that?

I just got the Shield TV Pro and the Xfinity TV go app does work just like it does on my Shield tab. I cannot get the newer Xfinity TV app to work though. I hope there is a fix for it as the newer app is better and I have a feeling they are going to discontinue the older app soon since the Xfinity website has ready been changed to look like the new app.

Does the new XFinity TV app work now that the XFinity TV Go app has been shut down?

any one have any info on getting the xfnity app to work...on nvidia shield... i sideloaded the app it just crashes ....thanks

It works on Marhsmallow but crashes on Nougat. At least I did have a working version on Marshmallow before I upgraded my shield. Not sure if the crash has to do with Comcast or simply with Android N

That stinks
