.flv?

are there any .flv players for the g1, i've found nothing about it on the forum

flash player? google it. they are working on it. there is even a video or a picture of some sort of a demo.

no .flv players as of yet. we've been promised flash support for a long long time and they even had a working demo back in december. i'm still dubious as to whether it's actually gonna get released =/
if it does, they'll probably make us pay for it or something

Not even sure it's gonna be available to G1 devices at all. I read somewhere that proper flash support might require different/better hardware to work properly, which means it might not work on the G1 even if it comes to Android.

I concur.
Adobe has a long way to go to make flash accessible to lower end mobile devices. Based on their track record so far, I would say that if it does show up, it will be so laggy that it will be nearly unusable.
I would say that we have a better chance of seeing a successor to flash take over than ever seeing flash play a video at ~30fps on the G1.

Did you actually watch that video? It was mostly stills, and what little animation it had was laggy as hell.

just realised, if you connect to your home computer through VNC you can watch flash videos, and they (kinda) look alright. i say kinda...
i know it's not the phone playing them but, i'm sure the phone could play flv's tbh. my fkin LG Viewty could play Flash Videos and that was a pile of crap.

the animation wasn't too bad and it was just an early concept.
my point is, if it was fairly ok in november (just checked video ) if they have actually been working on it (which i doubt) it should be pretty good by now.
I'd rather have ok flash support than no flash support at all.
stupid adobe

I don't think we need Flash players to play swf files.
I got my TCPMP to play .flv videos on my WinMo device. So now I can download YouTube or any FLV videos to play on my WinMO device. The only thing that TCPMP needed was an ability to read the FLV container as the videos are standard H264 encoded.
Is there anyone working on porting TCPMP over to Android?
Or is anyone working on getting the existing Video player on Android to read the FLV file formats?
cheers

CM9 roms and netflix workaround..

So i know lot's of people want to know how to get netflix and hulu working on cm9 roms for the fire and i think i have a work around for those willing to spend a few bucks. I've been using a program called Playon to stream news and comedy central to my xbox and droid for years and it works great...so i got to thinking..i wonder if it works on my kindle fire running the 2-24 cm9 rom? I installed the playon app from the market..then i installed mx video player from the market (don't know if it's really needed but i think it runs better than the stock video player) and after a couple of minutes i was watching netflix on my cm9! With some router tweaks i can now watch my shows anywhere there is wifi too! The picture is of course not high def but it plays pretty good considering there is no hw accel being used. Don't know if this helps anyone but just thought i'd put it out there cuz i'm finally able to watch netflix and hulu on my cm9!!!!

Im Bout to cry of over joyness thanks man

No problem man! Glad i could help someone

I installed PlayOn server and the app on my Kindle, but the Kindle wont find my computer? They're both on the same wifi network. Help?

Are you using windows? If so open up the program and restart it. Then reboot your kindle and if it still doesn't work reboot your router. It took my a couple of times to get it to connect on wifi.

[REQUEST] Media ROM for retired EVOs?

Hi all,
I have started this thread in hopes a developer sees the value in it (and our EVOs) and could please dedicate a bit in making some kind of ROM that would not have the calling features enabled, and all the junk removed, so that our EVOS can become bona fide media players... like what an iPod would be.
I used to have my phone as media player when it was in use, but I switched to (this crown jewel!) the Samsung Galaxy S3 and now this is what i use. However, it would be nice to put the EVO back in circulation as a media device...
So far, all the ROMS I see have a lot of features I think would be awesome in this kind of project (DOLBY, xPLOD, Beats, etc) and I always load PowerAmp as a music player (there is NO other compared to it), Chrome for browser and online videos, SwiftKey as keyboard and MX Player as video player.
I don't know how many people would find this useful but I am sure once out there, it would be highly sought after. Me, I just don't have the time to undertake learning how to cook ROMS, what with my Degree almost done, work, family and kid, well, I hardly have time for myself...
Thanks, and if someone DOES come up with something we all like and can use, I will be more than glad to host it and all needed files and mods for it.
Best,
Mord.

Run cm7 nightlies and freeze the stuff you don't need. Most mods are compatible dsp or beats work battery is great. And then is from experience using my og as a gps and music player in my truck constantly

Snap yo..... I actually did this for educational purposes just to see what it would work like, it was incomplete but it worked decent enough. I was just fooling around trying to get familiar with cooking and breaking open apks for themeing and junk. I think I am have to give it another go, but based on my preference for a base, I don't think success will be much. Either way, I'm gonna mess around with it and see what I can do. No promises though.

[Q] streaming on browser?

Hi, I am really excited about Ouya, not much about its games ability, but more as a streaming device, working with XBMC, however, I do often watch soccer games on the internet and my girlfriend watches her favorite Brazilians shows steamed by a website, I know, quality not superb, but still, I can watch the game and it's all that matters
Anyway, I was wondering if flash streaming would work without any lags on Ouya
Sorry, I'm tired and my English really sucks today, hope you'll understand

I'm sure there is a way
I know i tried flat out just installing flash and it seem like it didn't work for me. You might want to look into custom roms once it becomes a lot more safe.

I have not done this, but have heard plenty of people streaming via flash. I think you just need to sideload the app and then sideload a browser that uses flash and has the option to display as desktop (such as Dolphin). i don't think you can with the built in browser, but I could be wrong.

Flash works in the stock browser just fine. Don't know about live streams but flash in general works. Just put the official flash player app on your ouya. I recommend the version number 11.1.115.20 because that was the one with fewer bugs for android devices in general.

Amazon Prime Instant Video - KODI/XBMC

Yesterday by accident I found a thread on kodi forums with new release from some guy and I checked it first on my phone to see if prime is working and it indeed does work.
But there are some issues some videos might not play so hopefully the guy who did it updates it or fixes it but I just spent last 30 min on my fire tv testing what works and what does not
Here is what you do in order to get it to work on your Fire TV:
1) Download this zip (repo) and put it somewhere on your fire TV:
Link: https://code.google.com/p/addonscri...=repository.addonscriptorde-beta.zip&can=2&q=
2) Go to add-ons on your kodi/xbmc and install the repo
3) go to settings addons - get addons and download the Amazon Prime Instant Video from "Video-Addons" inside AddonSCriptorde Beta Repo
4) launch the prime addon select it as USA, set your settings like quality etc... then it should ask you to LOG-IN after you select US.
5) You should be able to browse tv shows/movies etc..
6) upon selecting play for certain movie/tv-show episode it should ask you to switch to Flash Player (no idea how it works on Fire TV) or any other android device without flash.
On my phone I don't have flash but on my fire tv I do and they both work.
Note: without prime instant access you can view things like Pilot episodes to test it out.
Now we need someone who can try and see why some videos will play and why some won't
Someone who is smart dig into these logs when some videos don't play and tell us what to do about it

What is the advantage here? Prime is standard app on the FireTV. Just curious.

Curious as to why someone would want to use an xbmc add-on for Amazon Instant Video when AIV is one of the core features of the Fire TV? I use built-in AIV all the time and it works great. Why use some hack add-on that will never be nearly as reliable as the official app? Do you not like the built-in AIV? I'm genuinely curious. Could be missing out on something here...

In my case I am not a biggest fan of the KFTV Launcher I actually like the way it is made on Kodi with that plugin.
It's just me maybe there are some other people who prefer it that way
It's good to have options. Enjoy!

Not a fan of the design in the Prime MovieZ app in KFTV Launcher that's all

Fair enough then, OP. Good luck with the add-on!

Thanks oh and also the themes are great that it works with any kodi theme you use.
Just wanted to post it so some people are aware of it.:good:

You can add Videos from the addon to your library just like they are local stored. So you can extend your local movies with amazon instant links.
You don't have to switch between your library and amazon Instant.
Adding ALL amazon Videos to library is not implented yet, i'm working on it

Hd plays for me. Change quality settings. The guy who made is busy and I have no idea if he will fix it.

It is set to [email protected] I thought about the HD because everything it plays shows SD after played.
And looking at my Watchlist the HDs are not playing whereas the SDs are. Was just my first impression.
Are you aware of another addon for Amazon Prime Video?

There are other but require to use real version of chrome not mobile.
It somehow uses chrome then passes video to kodi/xbmc addon.
I would give this dev some time he will for sure fix it. This is already one of the best I have seen.

This plugin broke the genesis plugin for me. .. would be great to have this working. specially when the AFTV skin for Kodi is released.

I don't see anyway this could break another plugin which is weird. And yea I tried googling for the aftv skin for kodi but all they do is show bunch of youtube videos.. I would gladly even pay few bucks for this.
With root this could be huge adding android apps etc.. making kodi act like a launcher.

This would be great for those with rooted devices who may one day be able to upgrade to CM12 / Android TV ROM. I am fairly certain that this upgrade will eliminate access to the current Fire TV Launcher and Amazon content. It would be nice to be able to access Amazon Prime if and when CM12 is possible from other sources.

Anyway to get this to pass 5.1 sound information to my receiver?
Or can that data not be captured from the Flash version of Prime.

This is very worth while if it works. Lots of people like to boot right into Kodi. Plus I hate just about everything about KFTV launcher. I think it's too tedious to navigate. The voice search was a great idea and the tech is perfect at picking up your voice but it often yields a bunch of results that you need to pay extra for. I think kodi has the best interface.

Hi I am from India and I have a Indian prime video account. Will this add-on work for that??
