New version!! See this post! (post 33)
So I'm planning on making a full video viewer/downloader for multiple sites and I decided to start with a porn site, tube8. I'm still learning a lot of .NET, and it's even harder when you're stuck with using compact framework 3.5. So go easy on me....
In any case, I've got a barebones app that will list all the videos on the front page of Tube8 along with a thumbnail when you hit "GO" at the bottom. (if you hit it twice, it might crash)
If you DOUBLE-tap the clip you want to download, the go button at the bottom will change to FLV. Hit that and the screen will freeze while it downloads the file to the ROOT of your STORAGE CARD. A popup will tell you it's done when it's done.
Sorry, this is bare-bones. I just want to confirm this works on all networks. I've only tried it over WiFi. I'll implement more menus, a streaming option, etc as time permits.
Also, I know that you can play FLV videos... my current device is giving me trouble with the version of TCPMP i have so if anyone can tell me if the FLV videos do play, that would be great. I know they play when copied to a desktop.
There's no CAB yet (still learning), but you can extract the zip and just run the exe file anywhere on your device.
FYI, the final program will be called 2Kinetic - Mobile Video Viewer.
(fun with physics)
I just received my got tablet via the woot deal. Have installed vegan, and all is well. One thing I cannot figure out is, how can I stream videos stored on a shared network drive to my g tablet? I have windows 7 on the pc. I can see the files using File Expert, but they will not stream. It seems like this should be a pretty straight forward task, but so far I have not found the right app. 90% of the files I would like to play are in .avi format. I have tried several media players, and none I have tried give me an option to view files on my network. Thanks for any tips!
Try playon. Bonus is it would alllow you to stream them from anywhere.
Bad part is the quality won't be as good as natively playing the file..
-m
I like qloud. It's free and allows playing across the Internet as well as across a local network.
http://www.playon.tv/playon
Thanks for the suggestions.
I actually already have Playon, and use it to stream Hulu & Netflix content. I did not see an option to stream files I have stored locally on my network though. I'm at work, so cannot check it out now, but I will look for this option when I get home.
I will look into Qloud also.
I too would like to stream media from my network shares. Idc about HD content so much, but being able to watch stuff on the tab when I'm not at my desk would be nice.
Is there a way to do this without putting a media server program on the computer end of things?
Free version of TVersity Media Server (from tversity.com) along with free MoBo player from android market do the job well. For some reason, sound volume is low.
You can use network shares using CIFS. Look for CIFSManager in the market.
It's a little cumbersome to setup if you aren't very familiar with networking, but very doable.
You will need a kernel that supports CIFS (Vegan 5.11 might - can't remember). Latest TNTL (4.4) does, but will likely not in the future. The stock kernel does not.
You can look in the dev section for Clemsyns and Pershoot's kernels. Note that Pershoot uses a modular approach, so you have to follow the instructions on downloading and adding the CIFS module. Clemsyn's should 'Flash and Play'
As for media player, I had trouble playing mpg's. I used Rockplayer Lite from the market and it was able to play them

Other than the CIFS route, I think every other solution requires something on the 'server' end. I have a Windows XP VM set up on my mythtv box for this purpose.
Here's a list of what I've tried:
Zumocast (works great on gf's iPhone, unfortunately no Android client yet, may work in a browser with flash, I couldn't get it with stock AOSP browser though)
Orb Live (couldn't get it to work)
AndrOrb (uses same Orb server, had mixed results)
PlayOn (works great for Amazon Prime, but had mixed results with local media. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't, although it is beta)
The following use VLC as a backend, so all have the same problem for me which is most of my mkv's are garbled (odd, since they play fine on the desktop):
VLC Direct
VLC Stream and Convert
Androstream (seems the best of the 3 as far as interface/reliability)
For this platform, I've been disappointed at android's ability (or inability) to reliably stream video (I wish audiogalaxy did video, that works PERFECTLY), yet the iOS platform has it working perfectly (even without RTSP support), not that I'm knocking Apple (not a fan either), it just seems their stuff "just works".
Sorry for the delay on the update. I first setup playon to steam from my local network, it worked well, but I hated the file navigation.
Next I tried qloud, installed the server on my pc and was up and running in minutes. It is extremely simple and works pretty well. I do get some occasional pixelation on sd video, but its not to bad, didn't even try hd because I'm sure the results wouldn't be good. Thanks for the tips.
Definitely QLOUD is the way to go.
setup is quick, and the video playback is good, everything is in sync.
i love the XDA community
Try plex, although it's not free and you need to set up a server

It works perfect to mount all your network shares as local on your tab. The tab then treats all shared files as if they were on the tab. This includes streaming movies, audio, and ebooks, viewing pictures and editing docs. Apks stored on the network install as well. Works with VPN as well to have (slow) access from anywhere to home network.
Edit:sp
so I did a google search on cifs and got a lot of tech heavy results. Any chance threw is a setting up cifs for dummies web sure some one could share?

Tech heavy?
What would you consider your tech-level?
Rom, kernal? Sorry if you already posted this info...
Edit: also, what kind of computer OS?

I am fairly new to all this, and i got it working without any problems. I am running TNT Lite 4.4. I assume you know about windows sharing and how to enable it on your other computer. Also you need to be rooted on the gtab.
1. Install cifsmanager from market.
2. Bring up cifsmanager and Settings -> "Add New Share". You will have to have to give superuser permission to cifsmanager when it asks for it.
3. Fill in the new share details. The first entry should look like
192.168.1.160/Movies where 192.168.1.160 is the LAN ip of your windows computer, and Movies is the name of the windows file share on it. It will automatically fill up the mount point to be /mnt/cifs/Movies.
4. Fill in username password for the windows machine. Leave options empty.
5. Save share, and you will see an entry inside cifsmanager.
The above steps need to be done just once per share.
6. Click on the share entry and it will try to mount it. If it succeeds the button on the right turns green. Long press will bring up a menu with "Unmount" on it when u want to unmount.
Now you can access /mnt/cifs/Movies. I like ES File Explorer (free from the market) instead of iFileManager to browse files as it lets me play movie files on a player of my choice. I use RockPlayer Lite as a player.
Caveats: I read somewhere that with the stock launcher you have one shot of correctly entering the share details. If you use Launcher Pro this is not a problem. Note that there is not transcoding going on on the windows side. So if you are on slow wifi you might see stalls.
And you can get to any files, not just movies.
hope this helps

Most cifs programs require the gtab to buffer the entire video before it will play any large .avi files.
I have been using Gmote on my gtab with vegan 5.1.1 now for 2 months with no problems at all. It says it doesn't work with avi files but I've never had a problem with them.

Username and password for the admin account on the windows machine? I don't have a password set up as it is a HTPC with all of our moveis and recorded TV. I keep getting that the mount has failed due to I/O error.
Or is it looking for the password to enter the family group?
BTW, thanks for the walk through. I always hated dealing with this kind of Windows BS but glad Windows has this ability.

.. Of the user owning the share, in your case the admin account.
Check if it works if you set a admin password on your HTPC (and Cifsmanager). Maybe there is a CifsManager limitation on empty passwords.
There are ways I think to auto login into a machine with a password, in case you don't want to type a password out of sleep and/or reboot.

How to record my a43 screen?
You can do screenshot easily on the dev options, but if you want video i don't know.
yes video recorder (app?) could be better
*Note, if you don't have a rooted Archos you can root using instructions here:
Code:
bit.ly/dOCIet
Root access is required to record screenshots on Android, unfortunately. Rooting will also void your Archos warranty, if you feel uncomfortable doing that I can't help, sorry.
---------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to record directly onto your device's internal storage, install ShootMe. Start the service, select shake or shout mode, then hide the ShootMe window. Then go to the screen where you want to record a screenshot, and shake or shout at your device. Then use Files (or whatever file manager you use) to open the picture, under the folder ShootMe. You can move this file into the Pictures folder so it shows up in the photo gallery.
You can add drawings, annotations, etc. to your screenshots using PaintJoy (simpler) or PicSay (more advanced).
You can also record videos using ShootMe, by selecting continuous mode. Hide the ShootMe service and navigate to the screen/app you want, play through or whatever you want to record, navigate back to ShootMe, and switch back to shake or shout mode to end the video recording. You will get a video under the ShootMe folder with the recording. If you want to trim off the part of the video where you're starting/stopping ShootMe and navigating to the app, install VidTrim and use it to remove the unneeded portion.
Unfortunately, neither VidTrim nor VidTrim Pro allow you to add voice annotations using your microphone. You can easily do this using the default sound recorder and VideoPad on your computer, though.
Lastly, you can record screenshots (pictures only) from your computer over your local wi-fi connection using PicMe. Just start up the PicMe service, then use the web browser on your computer to go to the IP address it specifies. Select static mode for a regular screenshot (refresh to page to update) or live mode to control your device from your computer (click to control). (live mode doesn't let you take screenshots, however). There's also a standalone java jar useful for if you use PicMe frequently, you can create a shortcut in quick launch or desktop, etc.
These apps/programs are all free, but there are also paid versions for more features if you're willing to shell out a few dollars. Have fun!

-snip- nvm i can't post images
i have a question i am hoping someone may be able to answer. i am currently without high speed internet at home. so i use my vibrant tethered to my pc (mobileap). i usually do a lot of video streaming to watch my favorite tv shows and movies (no cable either). i usually use firefox with the download helper plugin to download embedded flash files from any site with flash, not just youtube or megavideo.
my problem doing this on my phone uses alot of bandwidth and i get capped very quickly. i have a a few places near me with free wifi, but since my pc is a desktop, i cannot easily take it with me to download videos. unfortunately, i can use my phone to connect to the wifi and stream the videos on my phone, but i have yet to find a way to actually download the embedded flv files to copy to my pc and watch on the big screen with friends.
are there any apps or scripts i can use to do this? if i installed ubuntu, firefox, and the downloadhelper plugin, would it work? or am i asking to much? has anyone ever achieved this?
android opera and adm download manager
I used opera, adm download manager on android.
Open the page with video. Then let the video play for About 10 sec.
On a different tab, type about:cache. Locate your website and click on preview.
There should be a .SWF or .FLV links.
Long press the one which is bigger in size. Open in new tab. A pop up open with message should appear.
Click on adm. Then on start.
This did the trick for me.

Tested and works fine on Nook Tablet 8gb 1.4.2.
0. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
Buy a Sandisk MicroSD card like this thread suggests to prevent read/write problems due to a slow card. I simply went with a class 4 Sandisk 16gb from Microcenter. Not the fastest loading big movie files, but cheap and works fine.
AVOID 4GB Microsd cards!! One that I had was just a few 10kb short of fitting the CM7 below. >_<
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529553
Follow the instructions for Option 1 to root the tablet.
a. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529553
Get the SD CARD VERSION of from here.
CHECK THE MD5 checksum of this download to make it MATCHES THE ONE IN THE THREAD ABOVE! This is to prevent problems if the image isn't the same as the original.
b. Write the image to the Sandisk card above. No need to format it beforehand.
On windows, Option 1 noted using win32diskimager linked works fine.
http://nookdevs.com/Nookie_FroYo:_Burning_a_bootable_SD_card
c. Power the Nook off per instructions after making sure it has sufficient charge!! I'd say at least 25% to be safe even though it takes only two minutes. And boot from card per instructions to root.
d. After rooting, feel free to boot without the card in the nook, then insert.and format the card in the nook.
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826
Now, download the CM7 sd card image. Make sure MD5 checksums match. Write to SD card. It won't fit some 4gb microsd cards because some are a little too small.
4partitions will be created. They'll show up as fat32 for partition resizing later.
Follow the instructions to boot from this CM7 card.
Simplest way to ensure it boots from card is to power off the nook, the plug in the nook usb cable that is plugged into the ac power adapter, or pc. If you don't, it may ignore the card and boot back into the original OS.
3. Optional if you are using a card larger than 4gb.
Once you've booted successfully into cm7, you can power off and eject the card. Take it to a PC and download Easeus Partition manager for free. Launch Easeus and stick the card in. Refresh if needed to make it show up. Select the last partition (one adjacent to any unallocated space on your card) and resize it.to fill up the rest of the card. Apply, eject card and boot the Nook from it. Should still work and you can now use all available space.
4. Now that you're in CM7, go launch NT Hidden Settings app that comes with this. Hacks ->BLock OTA updates to prevent BN from disabling all this fun. You don't need to do it from the Nook OS after this here (but you can if you choose not to do it from cm7).
x-xx Whew. That all is just to get the.cm7 up and running.
5. Start up Google Market or Play app and let it update as needed. (optional, if you desire. Lots of other Android Markets and download sites with the same stuff-eg. getjar.com,.amazon market, etc.-if you don't like setting up a google account)
6. Search the market for QQ. This is the Chinese keyboard, and for english, I like it far better than the default keyboard. You can slide a key up to access.the alternate key. eg. slide up on n to type ?.
7. Search and download Multiling Keyboard along with the Chinese, Japanese keyboard plugins and Handwriting plugin. This is ThE only keyboard I've see for Android that allows pen input of kanji and chinese without driving you nuts, and works for kanji AND hiragana characters AND Japanese varients of Chinese characters like 気 气 氣. Yes, even the iOS can't do this!! :-D (only within Midori can it input Japanese kanji version, but not systemwide).
8. Search and download Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, ComicReader, MX Player, AEDict, wwwjdic, and EBPocket to start. I like Opera Mini as well.
These basic apps get you up and running on the Japanese dictionary side. Load epwing dictionaries, videos, books, cbz, etc through usb.
9. To view pdf, adobe reader works well because it can also display text only. Zip folders of your jpg book scans, if they're not in pdf yet, and Comic Reader will nicely let you browse tons of ebook scans of texts, magazines,.etc fast! Customizable tap zones let you read right to left books just fine.
Download Xplore to manage your files. TubeMate to download tube videos offline. Winamp to play mp3s.
Firefox is good for option to save pages as pdf.
MX Player just rocks on videos. Fast, subs support, and 1080videos in mp4 at 8000kbps play fine on the Nook 8gb.
---
Whew. Lots of setup for a first week Asian Nook Tablet user to make it useful for the lot, but nice thus far for a useful mobile language study, ecomic and book viewer, and tube downloader.
Will update later on as I get into the Nook more, but works fine and fast with 12gb of book, mp3, mp4, etc content and Chinese/Japanese IO.
Tested apps for Chinese/Japanese study, and a bit more for the Nook Tablet 8gb.
Top Chinese study apps
---------------------------
Pleco - Nice Dictionary, must have.
Pinyin Lite - pronounciation practice
Trainchinese - Dictionary & flash cards
Xiaoma Hanzi - Flash cards
Top Japanese study apps
----------------------------
EPPocket Free - Load it up with EPWing dictionaries (Genius, Kenkyusha), must have if you have EPWing dictionaries to load.
NariTra - Voice translator (30+ langauges to 30+ languages!), must have internet and for travel.
AEDICT - EDICT Dictionary, Must have.
JA Sensei - kana, kanji, vocab, etc.
INPUT KEYBOARDS
----------------------------
Must haves for Chinese/Japanese input:
Multiling + Chinese/Japanese/Handwriting plugins - pretty much does it all if you decide never to install anything else. Handwriting input is nice, free! Must have for inputting Asian characters/kanji!
QQ - Fastest keyboard I've found for typing by thumbs in English or Chinese! Almost perfect layout for rapid typing with very few mistakes in portrait. To die for!
To try:
7notes - Interesting handwriting input, but can be less accurate than Multiling - try the demo out to see if you want to buy this.
Swype - If you must slide input, this solid keyboard does it well on the Tablet.
Tools
------
ADownloader - Torrents, fast, nice.
App Manager/Explorer - Nice, can run Java MIDLETS on the Tablet.
DroidWall or Avast - both have nice Firewalls.
Kingsoft Office - a free, but decent Office program for the basics - taking notes, typing in outlines, etc.. (see other XDA thread for that huge 7 program Android Office comparo for alternatives)
X-Plore - the only MUST HAVE file manager!!! The best ever!! Very powerful.
Programming
----------------
AIDE - When you're bored, create APK programs on the Tablet itself in Java! Yep, no need for external PC for compiling or editing.
MEDIA
-------
Flipboard - nice use of the tablet to read news from various categories and sites.
MX Player - plays just about everything it can play without a hiccup. Other players can handle more formats, but never as quick or nice. As long as you encode to 1080 or less at Level 4.1 High or less H.264 at 8000kpbs or less, the Tablet will generally play it.
NHK World TV/SPB TV - catch up on news from around the world.
Talkatone - free Google incoming/outgoing calls.
TubeMate - The BEST youtube downloader ever. Much like MXTube for iPhone.
TuneIn Radio - Nice online radio app.
WinAmp - Like the desktop app, good for listening to language audios.
Browsers
--------------
Opera Mobile - solid, fast, can easily turn on/off features. Logical layout across all mobile platforms from Android to iPhone to Symbian to Java phones.
Firefox - only because you can add adblock plus plugin to block ads.
Default browser - Sadly, you still need this to access some free WiFi login pages.
Viewers
------------
Adobe Reader - default PDF viewer. Can extract and view just text in Japanese/Chinese, but won't handle every PDF out there.
PerfectViewer + PDF plugin - handles those PDFs Adobe Reader can't.
ComicRack Free - Very nice image/comic viewer. Simply ZIP up a folder of pictures and voila! You can flip through them like a book. Handles standard CBZ/etc. comic formats as well. You can scan in all of your Language books as JPG, then ZIP up the folder. (Note: Mac ZIPping sometimes creates zips that don't work - use a PC!) Must have.
CoolReader/EbookDroid/FBReader - handles those other EPUB/DJVU/etc. formats.
QuickPic - Fast picture viewer. Quick, logical, fast.
Games
========
Ataroid, Gensoid, PianoPerfect, Cut the Rope - Some of the better emulators/games out there. Gensoid is totally perfect for Sonic the Hedgehog!
Thoughts for the 1st week.
Very easy to get a hacked system up and running. Faster than the iPad since you don't have that ugly 700+MB ROM image to download for the usual Sn0w.
Very little OS protection. Thus, backup a clean image of the MicroSD card once you've got it setup and running. No root password even! What was G thinking?!? Would not trust the tablet for credit card/etc transactions since you really don't know if it's been hacked from outside or infected due to OS weaknesses. (Not like BB or Symbian where it's far, far, far, harder or impossible to be hacked/infected from the internet if you've got the device secured. Can't remember a single virus report for the Symbian platform in the past couple of years...)
---
Powerful HW - thus, 1080i H.264 videos playback fine after encoding on the PC. Screen is iPad quality, nice at all angles. Bright enough for everything except outdoor daylight use. Sound quality over headphones is decent, speakers could be better and placed in front/side - otherwise can be muffled.
Dual core sometimes lags as you load up more programs at the same time, so install and bring the SYSTEMPANEL LITE app to KILL ALL programs fast! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED APP!!
BRIGHTNESS LEVEL widget for the home screen is another nice app to install since it doesn't have auto-brightness control.
WiFi sees routers and connects quickly. Nice, no trouble here.
Lack of Ad-Hoc means you can't connect it to a phone that's sharing on such. Might try the Ad-hoc fix....the reports of it messing up the OS and resetting everything isn't enticing however...
---
Runs most things like they ought to run - like a mini-version of Windows. That said, it isn't Windows and you do bump up into the usual limitations of the Android OS quickly.
Browsers quickly run up against the usual 'tablet' but not 'pc' issues - sites are not formatted correctly, don't come up right, can't open, don't run, etc. Thus, trying multiple browsers like Opera and Firefox is the only way to access some sites, while others are simply not available.
Can't run a DOS game easily (virtual keyboards block what you see, must get an external keyboard then), can't program in C++ in a VS-like editor on the tablet, can't run Java apps without converting to APK, and.... none of the zilliions and zillions of apps already out for the iOS platform.
That's probably the biggest lag - you can find everything, often better, for the iOS platform, but not for the Android platform. This is where the iPad mini will take $$$ away from millions of users as they switch over when it arrives.
Even a simple program like GoodReader alone is enough to make or break. For language study, Midori and Japanese on the iOS is awesome vs. anything out for Android.
Also, it's not Windows, so when the sub 1lbs Windows 8 tablets arrive later this year, many will switch over just to get 'real' work done along with full desktop app access - VS, Office, etc.
---
The $150 price point is great! Can't say anything about it other than Best Purchase Ever for This Price Point in a multimedia tablet device. It won't do everything an iPad or Windows Tablet can do, but nothing they've released sells as cheap as $150. Thus, for the 90% of Tablet tasks, this one does them all quite nicely - the best iPad alternative for the time being until the iPad mini arrives.
Form factor is just about perfect for the lightweight, one-handed, quick net access and ebook reading. iPad is just too heavy; Windows Tablets even more so.
As long as you don't need the GPS, cameras, bluetooth, etc. of other Android tablets, this one will do fine, cheaper. (probably never since my phone will do all that)
Plus, it's one of the BEST Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog emulators I've ever played! Responsive, fast, crisp, nice!
--------
16GB MicroSD is just barely enough to hold several dozen music videos and several dozen scanned langauge/ebooks. JPEG ebooks take space and that's the reason. Otherwise, if it's just PDFs, you can get much more free space. Would rather have stuck in a 32GB card as a heavy multimedia user...
While class 4 is slow to load vs faster cards, once the media is loaded, they all play and access fast and fine. No problems scrolling through 2 hour videos in an instant.
--------
Tested a few converters thus far.
Handbrake on the Mac can make playable videos, but now and then, for no reason, the video won't play. Not sure what's the cause yet, but still looking into this. Probably one of the advanced settings or something...
IMTOO on the PC works fine as long as you set the LEVEL to 4.1 or less for H.264 conversions. It'll convert to 1080s that play fine on the tablet all the time. Recommended.
Nero Recode doesn't work if you select all of the advanced options like 8x8, etc. on that one page before starting the encode. Still working through those settings as well.
Naturally, if you upload to YouTube then download it using TubeMate, it'll generally play fine.

BEST/CHEAPEST Screen protector film ever?
Daiso stores in the USA and Japan sell the KO-11-P10/D-139 No. 31 LCD Protection Film A4 size for $1.50. Cut it yourself and you can make 2 screen protectors. Applies very easily, sticks perfectly, no bubbling at all, barely a color or tint shift, and thin. (Just don't crease it or you'll get a bubble after applying. Use removable Scotch tape to take off a dust particle on your screen if it lands as you're applying. Make sure the screen is perfectly clean beforehand - use removable Scotch tape across the entire screen after it's been microfiber wiped.)
