Hi there.
Where are the executables located?
Like on Windows, it's usually c:/Program Files/<app_name>app.exe
In Linux, it's usually /usr/bin/app
I need to know the path of VLC's executable on Nvidia Shield TV.
Any idea? Thanks in advance.
are you trying to extract the vlc .apk ? you would need root access and a file explorer with root capabilities .
but it should be in the root/data /app

I need to know the path to the executable for VLC because of a Firefox addon allowing me to use VLC to play videos.
But you're saying it's /data/app/vlc ?
Is there a way to check this for sure without having root access?

Download esfile explorer from the play store you can confirm it that way aswell.
Data/app/vlc is the path from my phone atleast
On shield tv it looks like it's sdcard/android/data/vlc

Thanks. But I already do have ES File Explorer installed. But I'm not root, so I cannot access those files and folders.
So can someone please confirm the executable for VLC? Is it /sdcard/android/data/vlc on the Nvidia Shield TV?
EDIT! No this wasn't the path.
These are just cache and data for the applications. Not the app itself.
Like I've said already, I need the path for the app's executable.
Like in Windows, it's something like c:/Program Files/Videolan/vlc.exe. And in Linux, it's /usr/bin/vlc.
That's what I need to know. The executable for VLC on Nvidia Shield.
Sideload solid explorer it's not as limited as es.

This is the official motorola video player
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2DNRIA0D
Download to device and install (may not download with xoom itself so dl using a PC and transfer to Xoom storage)
If install fails for any reason:
Place in system / app using root explorer or adb
then restsrt device
I got it from my moto atrix for whatever reason its not installed on the xoom
Powerful player and works with upnplay for streaming 720p content from ur home network unlike rock player or vplayer (slow and audio video sync issues)
i tried installing real player manually too but its resolution is off doesn't do full screen.
Doesn't install on any of my devices.

Hotfile is being a real pain. could you put it on a better dump site? I'd love to try this. Does 720p high profile work?
i doubt that but i didnt try. Its just a MUCH better stock player that will play alot that the 'movies' app won't. Such as dlna over ur network for example (flvs, mp4s)
ive re-upped it.
Link not working for me
Copied to system/app, restarted, no icon.
Any ideas?
it won't show as a icon but when trying to play a movie itll pop up as a choice

1) download file on your pc (it wouldn't work when I downloaded straight on my xoom)
2) move the file over to your "sdcard"
3) open Root Explorer (make sure you are rooted)
4) move the file on your sd card over to /system/app (make sure /system/app is in r/w mode)
The end.
I would love to try this, but root explorer force closes on me everytime i attempt to open it.

Thanks for the reply. This is exactly what I did the first time. I did it again, and didn't have any problems (again). Maybe what I'm missing is how to actually play videos with this player? When I open a video file, I don't have a new listing/app option. I'm also very interesting in the streaming features the OP mentioned.

Most likely you have already defined one of your Multimedia apps as default player. Go to Settings>Applications and find your video players. One of them will have the "Launch by default" set. If you clear that you should be able to see the list of choices again when playing a video file.

Sorry, I should have explained more fully. It's not that I don't get the list of apps with which I can play a video, it's that there isn't a new app in the list-- I have no way to select this new player
Not to put a damper on anyone's enthusiasm around here, but has it occurred to anyone that maybe it won't work quite right because this apk was designed for a different OS version, OS skin, different hardware (though same Tegra 2 SOC), etc?
I Signed the APK now you can install it, at least it worked for me. OP if you want to download this and repost it I will delete this file after. Thanks for posting.

Do you have root access? If you do download file explorer that will ask for root access and that will give you deeper access into the system files. Try root explorer or es explorer. For es explorer, obtain root access in the app's setting menu.

As mentioned by scream4cheese, you must have root access to even see anything in /data or /system, etc.
Currently I'm using as Astro file manager, but did not like it.
Is to install the file manager in CM Nexus 4 with Android 4.3 OTA?
Thanks.
I use es file explorer, it's got everything I can think of, I even stream films via it.
Smb,ftp,cloud,LAN ect ect
Also you can directly throw apk's, apps or any file to other es users on the same network.
Es explorer is the way to go. And its a shame that android don't have a file explorer of its own

Ok thanks for the tips, but does anyone know of a link where I can get the apk manager of CM? I really like it.

i use solid explorer the full version ,the best for me
1º ES Explorer
2º ZArchiver
ES File Explorer. As a side note, if your phone is rooted, then you need to enable "Root Explorer" in the settings of ES Explorer to get access and write permission to the entire file system.
I personally like Antek.

Zarchiver is awesome, but I need root and ability to backup APK, it's the only reason I'm still using ES File Explorer.
So i flashed Jesse' s semi stock kernel for exynos unfortunately it seems those listed in the title arent functioning as on hulu i can only see the ad that plays before the show then it stops playing and Netflix and Smartview dont play at all. Is there a fix for this or a good kernel youd recommend that keeps this intact, i flashed this kernel to be able to change selinux mode to permissible (running Android 7.0 magisk rooted gs8)
So i switched to notorious and smart screen works now but my streaming apps which are hulu and Netflix still arent working id appreciate the help if someone can help or knows of a similar problem
You need to have root first.
Using any file manager with root access.
Set the directory to read-write.
Find this file.
/system/lib/liboemcrypto.so
Just rename it to liboemcrypto.bak . then close the file manager.
Reopen Netflix and see if the streaming now works.

Thanks man appreciate the help
Another possible location for the file
I found that my file was in the folder /system/vendor/lib
same file name.
Also, I had to reboot.
This was for hulu and an S8plus.
Hi,
if i try to see a sub-folder of Android, my external file explorer (Solid explorer, Root explorer) only show an empty folder. The folder i try to see is this: Android/data. Are there certain restrictions of Android 11, which external explorer can't deal with? I don't have this problem with the intermal explorer and - surprise, surprise - with Total Commander (which i don't like so much...).
Anybody knows a solution or workaround to let other explorers look into these Folders?
Cheers
Clark
Seems like Google decided to restrict access to the Android/Data folder to "approved" applications.
Some other users said that Google Files (what a surprise) and Samsung Files work properly.
I usually use a root explorer, wich works fine, but otherwise most file managers probably won't be able to access the folder for a while.
Add MiXplorer and SD Maid to the list of working file managers. Hoping Solid Explorer gets updated soon!
I'm using root explorer just fine
I am rooted so if you're not then just root is easy

Try Solid Explorer and check if you see /sdcard/Android/Data/. Some file managers work and others don't even if you are rooted.

I'll be honest mate I've never needed anything else since root explorer was released.
Absolutely hate solid lol. Only other one I used to use was called Linda I think, G1 days
Xplore works, Solid Explorer 2.88 works as well
Using some of the recommended file explorers above didn't work for /sdcard/Android/Data/. Most of them were able to see /internal/Android/Data/ though. My Note 10+ wasn't rooted, and I wasn't planning on rooting due to the downfalls. I was able to see the files by mounting the SD card in Windows.
Mixplorer works great for me right now.

Yeah that's the last one I tried before mounting it to the PC. Now the question is which of these file explorers I should keep and finally replace ES File Explorer.

My vote would be Mixplorer. They have a few different themes, as well as add ons.
