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.

It wont install u need to push it with adb or use root explorer as OP.says

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.

Hi guys,
Firstly i´d like to say that i wanted some alternative of stickmount method mainly for installing long files games, but so far as i could see there´s none...
So i want now to use a emulator storage device (psx, n64 games), i tried stickmount, but FPSE couldnt find the folder i created... sometimes i have access to it on ES File Explorer, but only there. So it´s buggy as hell in 4.2.1 as i could see in stickmount thread.
Is there any way to have direct access to flashdisks on Nexus 7? If there´s a better solution than stickmount, please, fell free to clear me. Thanks!

I shifted to paragon ntfs hfs app after getting fade up with bugs of stickmount. Happy with it. It gives problem while unmounting but with less frequency. Doesnt probably support fat system though.
USB Host Controller is what I've been playing with the past couple days, it gives you the ability to choose your own mount points, however the drawback is there's no way that I found to make it auto-mount when the device is plugged in.
Tried both Paragon NTFS and Host Controller... none of them showed any file on my flashdrive using ES explorer.
I´m running out of options here
I've had great success with Stickmount by following these guidelines. Open the app you want to use first. Then plug in the otg cable with your media already attached to the cable. Navigate to /sdcard/usbstorage/sd?1 where ? is a letter a,b,c,etc. If you are multiuser I think you have to go to a '0' folder to find the contents. Exit the app and use the pulldown to unmount, then open another app to use with external and plug in again and you will be able to find your storage in the second app. It really works. I can find and use my external docs, music, videos, etc. and use them with the associated apps.
With default mount point, one can access external storage from any file explorer in 'ParagonNTFS' directory. I never faced any problem for accessing at least, from Es file explorer and astro file explorer.
Hi readers,
Today I m going to share an idea ie, how to use NTFS format Disk drives in MOTO G or any other OTG supported device. Remember I said only OTG supported device.
This requires root access so make sure your phone is rooted.
Well i always wanted to use NTFS format compared to FAT32 since the read and write speed are realy good in NTFS. I came across this app and tried it in my MOTO G and it works like a charm.!!
I m not the developer but just sharing the app. Since I am a new member I am not allowed to post links.
I got this app from play store. This is a free app. This app gives access to your usb disk. All you need to do is install this app and do the following:
1. After installing open the app and mount your usb disk.
2. It will ask you to allow automatic mount at the start.
3. You can choose a custom path for opening the usb disk or use the default location. The default location will be data/media/0/Paragon NTFS.
4. After that use a file manager which has root access, say Root explorer and go to the path specified.
You will find contents of your usb disk in that folder. You can not only open the files but also copy or delete the files in your usb disk.
Thank you.
If you find this post useful hit Thanks.!!!

Ya it's working.
Just enable root explorer option in settings.
Then you will be able to access the directory.
Sorry didn't notice it earlier.
I think they only enabled this on their last update.

Still Es File Explorer doesnt support NTFS. Only thing you can do is have root access in Es explorer and use NTFS.!!
I hope the op still following this thread,
I found that paragon only capable of read only file,
If I got a media file (movie), the movie it self can not be played.
I'm using moto g 1st gen btw
Hello, I was playing with Kodi over the weekend to run it from my Western Digital MyCloud (WD). I had initially moved my Thumbnails folders to WD and was using advancedsettings.xml to redirect the thumbnails folders to WD.
Recently I ran into a way to move the whole Kodi folder to WD (or any network storage). If this has been mentioned before, my apologies for the redundant post. Anyways...
For background, when you start Kodi, the app reads a file (if present) to find where its files are located. If this file is not present, Kodi uses the default location to find its files. Through this file, you can redirect your Kodi to look at alternate location to run. The name of the file is "xbmc_env.properties" and it has a single line listing your desired location. I have attached it to this post. More info here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change settings folder for Android
The steps to make this happen are:
-- Create your network share on WD. I went with a public share and using CIFS to access the share.
Say, my share is "\\192.168.1.2\MyKodi"
-- Create a mount on FTV to that share. For mounting help, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/run-script-firetv-boot-t2986158
Say, my mount is "/mnt/obb/KodiShare"
-- Make sure you can read/write to this mount by testing it with an app like ES File Explorer.
-- Now, you will need to start with a clean install of Kodi.
-- Do not install any addons or do any restores of your Kodi backup at this point.
-- Once Kodi is installed, open it once so that your folders are created for you. Then shut down Kodi.
-- Create a file named "xbmc_env.properties" and put it in /sdcard. The file has to be named exactly that and it has to be located at /sdcard.
-- Now, open Kodi. Let it stay up for a min or so. In the background, Kodi will make a ".kodi" folder in your mount and will create a skeleton structure of all folders/files. Basically, you will see "/mnt/obb/KodiShare/.kodi"
-- CAUTION: If you are starting with a fully customized Kodi with your addons, Kodi WILL NOT MOVE your addons/etc. during the previous step!
You will need to do that manually.... (move the userdata and addons folder manually from /sdcard as if you are restoring a backup)
-- The folder ".kodi" on your mount will have identical structure as is for a default install. You can verify it by drilling down into your mount.
-- Now shut down Kodi.
-- At this point, you will have 2 ".kodi" folders. One will be in your mount and the other at /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.
-- You are now ready to restore your backup (if you have one). If you do not have any backups, you can skip this step.
You will copy your "userdata" and "addons" folder to /mnt/obb/KodiShare/.kodi.
You will be over-writing those 2 existing folders already present there.
-- Now, go to "/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi". Delete everything in the ".kodi" folder, all 6 subfolders. (this is where the space savings are realized)
You can delete all this because the data within ".kodi" has been moved to your mount (or WD).
Keep the empty ".kodi" folder though.
-- Start Kodi. You should see it functioning normally.
------------------------------------------------------------
So, what happens if you shut down FTV, restart your FTV but your share is not mounted correctly and you start Kodi? On my FTV, when I do that, my Kodi at start will show a hazy blank screen. It will stay like that for a few seconds (If you hit the back button on FTV remote while the Kodi screen is still hazy, Kodi will exit out without creating your base folders in /.kodi. This saves you the hassle of deleting them again after you have restored your mount) and then Kodi will start. But you will not see any addons/customizations etc. Kodi will start as if its a default clean install. Its a fail safe play by Kodi so that it does not crash. If you look at "/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi", you will find that it is not empty and you will see the 6 subfolders in there. To fix this, once you can properly mount again, just shut down Kodi and restart it and it will start with all your stuff intact. You can either leave the ".kodi" folder in your /sdcard as is or you can delete them again, it makes no difference.
I have been testing this for last couple of days, and the performance is just fine (just a tad slow but not a killer). The exit of Kodi (from its home page) is slow though, it takes around 7 seconds for it to shut down on my FTV. I would imagine that NFS should be faster than CIFS, but I have not tested that yet.
Great Guide
If you want to use the usb stick follow the guide above and just change the follow
Using ES File Manager
Select extUsb
Add folder call it kodi_data
then download this attachment xbmc_env.properties.txt
rename it so its called xbmc_env.properties
copy or push file to sdcard directory
Now Install Kodi
It does seem that once you have used Kodi enough (lke your addons and whatnot), I notice "almost" no degradation in performance. Of course, even this minute slowness is not applicable to actual streaming as this is using your FTV hardware and not your external share.
One note though, I did notice a gradual slowness if you are using subtitles for your movie/show. Because by default, the subtitles are saved to the "temp" directory which is now on the external share. And subtitles are sensitive to the timings. I saw a gradual slowness, around a 3 second delay at the end for around a 2 hour movie (Subtitles are completely in sync at the start, but lag around 3 seconds by the end of the movie). You can always, in Kodi, go to Settings, Video, Subtitles. On the right, scroll down to "Subtitle storage location" and change it to "Custom location". On the next line for "Custom subtitle folder", you can navigate to "Root Filesystem" and select a folder in /sdcard. Select a folder that you can regularly clean out.

So overall what does this mean? Kodi data will be stored on my thumb drive instead of Ftv internal storage?....I've installed rbox pre-rooted latest rom last night and moved Kodi over to my flashdrive but I haven't backed up as yet,normally my Kodi data reads over 1gb and will like to have it installed ob my thumb drive if it won't drastically slow it down

Thanks will try when I get home
one question I pushed kodi over to my usb will it make any difference or should I send it back to internal storage then proceed?

I would leave Kodi on FTV. It really does not take too much space. If you move your data using this method, all your FTV will use is around 60 MB for the app and some for cache (which can be cleaned out). My FTV tops out with cache around 130 MB on storage space for Kodi.
As a tip, for taking good backup, I will install Kodi. I will add all my addons and customizations (like keyboard, advanced settings, ACE stream setup, etc) and Kodi core settings and do a backup. I don't go into any addons or stream stuff. I then do a backup, this will keep your backup size to a minimum (the goal is to reduce the Thumbnails folder size in your backup). Also, in your backup, you can go into /addons/packages and delete all the files from there (just the contents in that folder, not the folder itself). The folder stores the older versions of addons you have installed. That usually saves around 50 MB depending on your installed addons. This gives you a good compact backup.
I am not sure how the performance will be with a USB... I had tried moving Thumbnails to USB a while back and Kodi did slow down (usually when I am pulling any page with icons). If you have a good backup, you can check it out with different scenarios pretty quickly.
makes no differents ive got mine on the usb
I see AFTVNews has posted an excellent guide covering this:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-partially-or-entirely-move-kodi-data-to-external-usb-storage/
And I can confirm, I changed the subtitle location to a folder in /sdcard and the same movie with the same subtitle source/file does not lag.
I did this on my 16gb flashdrive and noticed a slight lag in opening addons nothing major but streams work flawlessly and my AFTV has been on 4gbs+ compared to the 2gbs+ before this update
Thanks

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.
