SHELVES looks like a great app to keep inventory of DVDs, games, books, etc. - similar to Delicious Library for iPhone.
Unfortunately, Shelves doesn't work on my Streak (USA 2.2). When I scan a barcode to add a DVD movie, it says "Couldn't add movie. You might already have it". Needles to say, there are zero movies in my library.
However, the program works great with books - scan the code and it find the correct book and adds it to the shelf.
Am I missing something in the settings? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

This sounded like an awesome idea to me when I saw this post.
I have about 500 DVDs in my collection and keeping them straight in my head has been a hassle for me for a couple of years now. This sounded like just the solution.
So, I put it on my Streak to test it. And, had the same exact issue you are seeing with it so far as my DVDs are concerned. Didn't even try the books. Only a hundred or two of them, and no problems remembering yet.
I get the same issues using DJ 1.7. Bummer looked like an interesting app.
Solution...?
Unfortunately, the last update for Shelves killed the app for many handsets - found it on apps feedback om the Market.
I could not find where to get the older version of the app - is it possible at all?
However, I am using a different app now, PackRat, free on the Market.
Not as visually attractive as as Shelves would be, but it works great!
I'm in the same boat with many of you guys. Lots of DVDs and Shelves only returns the BS might already be in your library error for me as well.
On edit- I downloaded Packrat and it does take a long time to get results, but it does get results. However, out of 18 DVDs it couldn't find 3 of them (3:10 to Yuma, Adventureland, and Hot Tub Time Machine). Also, out of 12 books it couldn't find 2 of them. Google goggles was able to find all the ones that Packrat was missing. Between the speed and the fact that I have hundreds of books and DVDs to catalog, I'm not sure this will work for me. The miss percentage is too high. I tried putting one DVD in manually, but I see no way to add a picture and adding potentially 100 DVDs manually would take forever.
Second edit- I've now attempted to use packrat to scan 50 more DVDs. It was able to find 26 of them. Again, these aren't indie titles, but mainstream titles like the ones I mentioned above. And, again, Goggles was able to find them. I'm done with Packrat.and still searching for an alternative to Shelves.
have you spoken to the developer of shelves?
most developers are more than happy to go through issues with you and try and resolve them if you're polite and thorough, and willing to help them with testing
Hello!
I just started a new youtube channel called OfficialGameDubstep and our goal is to get people to listen to dubstep and have our songs published on there!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrEnONDt8nc
Now i came up with this idea of making a app that shows ALL our videos in a rss feed way like a list and a little thumbnail next to it and you can click it and wath the video.
Now my question is (Never made an app before...) How and what program('s) should i use???
Why don't you make a website mobile-friendly in html5 ? This way it will work on different devices and resolution (iOS/Android/..) without even installing anything !
If you know html and php, that's a gooood start already.
Sencha touch is a framework that might help you, but there are even tons of tutorial on html5 out there.
If you don't want to stick to youtube, I can point you to soundcloud (also have html5 support)
If you like dubstep, please consider this and this also
expanding on what ell3 suggested, you can use phonegap to turn html5 into native apps for android, ios, bada, webos, sybmian, etc.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Sencha Touch is one option, but have you taken a look at Davinci Studio? It's a dev tool similar to Sencha, but based on HTML5. It also has a jQuery framework...so it's pretty universal and a lot of devs can get the hang of it pretty fast. You can download it for free at their site and ask them questions and stuff on their forum.
Have a look at http://jquerymobile.com/
I use this framework for my mobile device pages.
Hi.
I'm new here, so apologies in advance if i ask a question that was handled in a previous thread.
I'm looking for a decent app that will allow me to control an android device from a pc. I have a tablet that is being used as a kiosk device and i would like to connect remotely and check the status of apps, run scripts, generally just troubleshoot issues that might pop up from time to time. I would like screen sharing also, that would make things a lot easier. I've tried webkey, teamviewer, airdroid but none of them give me the kind of functionality I need
At the moment I'm using a Nexus 7, but I'd like the app to work on any device. In future we might start using generic android devices, nothing brand-specific.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated

Hey,
once there was ShareKM the dev kinda dropped the projekt. I found some Guides for it because the old version stopped working.
Here is the original thread ShareKM on XDA
If you read it a bit they start to talk about the workarounds.
Hope that helps you I'm also very interested in this.
i found app that will help you to remotely control your tablet

Thanks. But as far as I can see, this only works if the pc and android device are on the same network. My kiosk devices are hundreds of kilometers away, so I need something that works over the internet
Hello guys its been only a week i've had the nexus player and im really enjoying it, i currently have the stock rom and my device is unlocked and rooted.
I have live TV 100+ channels via the app Mobdro http://www.mobdro.com/ which has to be side loaded.
For Movies and live TV i use Kodi and Popcorn time http://popcorn-time.se/popcorntime.apk both which have to me sideloaded.
This is not a complete guide but The Steps i followed to set up my Device.
First i bought this otg hub which has 2 usb and ethernet http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2N0GB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Second i bought this keyboard/mousepad http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9996LA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Third was Rooting and i used this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EWKbzqltGk&list=PLq4EPW92B28fazduXRYawJZ0yA89W-Bxa&index=2
Fourth was sideloading apps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N03TYKcg8ro&list=PLq4EPW92B28fazduXRYawJZ0yA89W-Bxa&index=3
Fith step for me was to be able to install any app but directly from the playstore which this guide showed me how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymjySfRFFHI&list=PLq4EPW92B28fazduXRYawJZ0yA89W-Bxa&index=6
i hope this post is helpful for everybody.
How does the TV app deliver shows? I heard that popcorntime works via torrent which can get some into trouble with comcast. Curious if mob works differently.

I have comcast and i have been streaming from popcorn time and xbmc for a while with no problems. With mobdro you should have no problem it is not torrent based it is a "mirror" more than anything, it takes the live streams from different pages arpund the web and redirects it to a single simple to use app... They have many channels, discovery, science channel , history, espn, nba, fox, abc, cbs, thecw, and many more

Is there an easy way to find the US based channels/streams and is there a favorites list or anything to keep it easy? I'll probably just install it and find out, but others may be interested too.
yes most of the channels are from U.S and can be separated by preset categories like news,sports,shows. and yes you can have all your favorites saved and they come up as soon as you open the app
Just installed it and fiddled with it for a bit and it seems to be amazing... I tried to go Premium but it said "Coming Soon"...
I have no issues paying to remove ads.
Is there a similar app to popcorntime that doesn't use torrents?

We are in the same boat! As soon as they update to allow us to go premium i will! Its totally worth it. And if the increased funds make the streams more reliable then even better... Im hoping they bring back truTV, its one of the only channels i watch

Hey in addition to showbox there are two other apps i have not tested in the NP but might work, one is Tv portal http://getandroidapp.org/applications/entertainment/1456-tv-portal-stream-tv-movies-1-1-12.html and the other one is Movie tube https://www.movietube.co/download/

I was having problems running showbox on my nPlayer. It would load everything but wouldn't play anything. Even with native player unchecked.
Maybe a future update will fix it.
I mostly use PlexBMC lately anyway as the plex Pass app for nPlayer is giving everyone, myself included, problems playing 1080 files.

hey i also had problems with showbox the first time i installed it. if you start fresh on your NP and try a couple different apks and in versions you might get it to work, i have not found the latest update online but the app updates by itself. and also it does have it hiccups from time to time so maybe you tried it when it was down? just keep trying, i do know that it took me like 4 different apks to get it working
I'm using showbox and it works fine.
I downloaded it from here:
http://www.coolvideoapp.com/
I'm running v. 3.84
I'm also using the 2 version of popcorn time
http://popcorn-time.se/
https://popcorntime.io
All these apps need a mouse control to move into the menu/movie list.
I hope that in the future the developers will upgrade the apps to work just with the Nexus Player remote..

What's the legality of showbox for a US user? Is it storing and seeding a torrent from my IP address or am I accessing a stream?
I've never been personally dinged by comcast, but I have a friend that was recently and it isn't fun (probably going to have to settle for $3k after lots of precourt crap).
Thanks for any info provided!

I dont really know but i think legally it is the same as any other app/website or program to watch free pirated movies... and im not sure about showbox but i beleive it is acessing a stream if not then it is a torrent but it is treaming the torrent storing it in ram and then deleting it, you dont keep it, you dont seed it same goes for popcorntime.
the solution is to buy this

Showbox is streaming, no seeding at all as it isn't a torrent. It is illegal, however but Comcast won't be sending you any threatening letters for it.

Do I need to be rooted to use this keyboard/mouse pad??
I've got everything working perfectly on my nplayer including all the apps I could ever need but only use kodi with plexbmc and either ororo.TV or genesis or sportsdevil. Also the Showbox add-on for kodi works better for me than the android apk.
No! Not at all, the otg and the keyboard are plug and play

Does the device needs to be rooted for popcorn and the rest?
Can't you just sideload it as in any Android Device?
Thanks!

Anyone have a working app for the Shield as of yet for Apple TV +?
Cheers
Apple TV+ 1.2 apk works but when you go to sign in it requires something from the Fire TV firmware to complete.
I tried it but it doesn't work.
None work right now... seems most are counting on the release of Sony's APK for it to work.
Hi,
is there still no way to play Apple TV+ Stuff on Android without an iPhone/iPad?
Every newest version from the FireTV won´t work cause i need to install the latest FireTV Firmware ...

you can use browser then cast it to nstv or open tv.apple.com in a browser
Sorry for a stupid question and please don't link anything here if it violates any rules:
Where do people find a legit version of the APK?
Thinking about trying this on my Philips Android-TV and if that fails on my Odroid-C4 running Android.
Don't know how kinky sideloading an app is usually i.e. trying the APK for Shield / FireTV wouldn't work on either my TV (pref.) or "HTPC"?
Sorry for hijacking a bit, will do a separate thread if it is required (and allowed).

personally i dont have time to teach the basics on adb sideloading an app.. it should work on shield easily if ur connected to it properly and running the right commands in adb..
theres thousands of guides online about adb and adb install.. the apple tv+ app doesnt work on nstv however at this time so even sideloading the app will not work.. the only method ive used is to use web browser then go to tv.apple.com and play the videos through the web browser

I think you might have misunderstood what I was getting at;
I know how to sideload an app but it was just a general question on how kinky an app developed for a certain device (ex. FireTV / Shield) can be on another device (Philips implementation of Android-TV) etc. since they both are running Android.
My TV running Android-TV hasn't implemented something called "Android Mode Setting API" for instance and that caused some issues with an app (according to the devs).
So I can totally get that even through having the same platform - Android - different hardware can treat it differently depending on different hardware specs or implementations of Android.
However the question as where to find a reputable source of the APK remains, just googling it reveals a lot of different download locations where a lot seems really...sketchy.

LG 2018 model TVs just got an update that gives them Apple TV app, so may be there is hope for Android TV devices
LG rolls out Apple TV app for select 2018 smart TVs:
https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/20/lg-rolls-out-apple-tv-app-for-select-2018-smart-tvs
Any updates to this? i was about to start a new thread, when i came across this.
I got a free year of Apple TV+ with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for work, and just recently switched from Roku to the Chromecast with Google TV.
My fiancé got into one of the shows and i'd like to sideload the APK, if possible, if there's one that works.
Well, there is strictly Android TV version now (it was released with software update for some Sony TVs), but it also fails to work on other devices (says software update is required) - Source.
