NHL Gamecenter - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps

I was wondering if there's an App similar to the ipad one that allows me to stream nhl games from the center ice package. I know the ipad had one

I have a Gamecenter subscription, and I can watch games via the browser on my Tab with no problem. Can even do Picture In Picture. No need for an app.

I don't have the subscription but the video works on my phone, just not on the tablet which sucks. I would rather watch the video on 10 inch then a 4 inch screen .

I have the supscription
It works on my phone and ipod touch just fine

i should have clarified myself, i have the subscription and game center live does not work on:
stock browser
dolphin (beta pad version and stable)
firefox (beta and stable)
on Galaxy Tab 10.1 running In Paris Rom...
it just displays a black box where the video should be and no date text in the top date selector.
the app's live video doesn't work either, i signed in with the settings menu. i click live video, the screen rotates and goes black for a second, then bounces right back to the game info.. in the device type section in settings, it says "null". not sure if that's good or bad?

Same problem here
With the same rom

Do you have ad fix installed? Could have an issue with ads getting blocked like CBS & Fox

Yes they do, there own ads for game center live. I get annoyed by them popping up almost after every video whereas on the team web site it comes up every 5 or so videos. I don't have premium so i dont known if they go away with subscription. Try removing the ad block to see if it changes.

You are correct. I flashed back to stock and the web version now WORKS on stock browser. I haven't tried others but I am sure they would work. So with that, is the best way to get nhl live working on ad fixed versions to track the ip packets to see which ad services it is using and then let those through the tablet by changing the hosts file? or is there a better way?

The app definitely does not work on the tablet for me, it does on the phone. Not exactly sure why but maybe it has to do with the video player on the tablet (issue Plex had with streaming awhile back ago).
As for your other post, not exactly sure of an easier way. I just removed ad fix altogether since it has been an issue for others sites like Fox and CBS.

Yeah, the app isn't working for me either. I have a Gamecenter live account already and it allows me to sign in, but every time I try to watch a live game I get a loading sign and then it goes back to the previous screen. I can listen to the audio for the games so obviously my account is fine (that and I can watch the live games from my PC).
However, I can access live games through the Gamecenter live website, so it's not too bad. The streaming quality is good, but I find the playback is choppy. I was hoping the app would be better for watching live games, but apparently not.

In all honesty I have the live video working on my other device and it really sucks. Even if they get it working its going to be low quality, and it will switch from video to audio only.
milanlucic17 is right, just watch it through the browser, if you clear the memory on the device and close everything but the browser about 5 minutes into the feed it usually gets pretty decent to watch. Also, I haven't tried but I heard hockeysteams has android support now.

I use Dolphin HD as my browser and am on stock. The video gets a bit choppy when you set the bandwidth to 1600 or higher, but it's not too bad. The quality suffers a bit at 800, but not terrible (better than myp2p.pe).
I'm hopeful that ICS helps with the choppiness, but that's a little way off.
From my understanding, the app only seems to work if you're a Verizon customer...it's hit or miss, otherwise.

For anyone with the ad-free roms:
I just downloaded AdFree from the market, click 'revert' when I want to watch, then you can click 'download hosts' again when you are done watching and it is back to ad free.. Just an fyi.

Browser issues

I recently purchased an Atrix 4g, for the most part I have adapted to the Android OS pretty well. Since I got my phone one problem has plagued me, I cannot view most websites in desktop format. Most of the time I am being forced to view websites in mobile format.
I have done plenty of research and have come to the conclusion that I need to change my user agent settings. Armed with that knowlegde I downloaded Dolphin HD and switched to desktop mode. Nothing has changed. I just want to see gizmodo.com with flash.
AFAIK dolphin doesn't support flash
Use opera mobile 11 or the stock browser itself for flash support and at the bottom click full site to view it
And opera also allows changing user agents
Gizmodo hasn't had a full site link in a very long time.
If I turn off the mobile view on opera it still redirects me to m.gizmodo.com
To test your solution I went to m.gizmodo.com on my desktop and I still don't see a full site link.
Were you referring to the Mobile view on off switch on opera?
Actually, stick with Dolphin HD. Setting your user agent works. But what you need to do is you have to clear all your browser data. Go into advanced settings in Dolphin and checkmark everything in the clear data section so you can start with a clean slate. The next time you go to Gizmodo, you'll be redirected to the desktop site instead of m.gizmodo.com. You're being directed to the mobile site despite your user agent because your browser has cached data.
Skyfire browser. Short and sweet... set into desktop mode. Then your good to go!
Skyfire supports flash, bo problem, its small/quick like the builtin browser.
if you visited a site and were already set to android/mobile view, and are stuck in mobile view land... clear your Skyfire cache/history.
Poop
early android had about:debug options for the builtin browser for making firefox like under-the-hood changes to ones browser... but google put the kybosh (sp?) on that! Maybe we'll see it come back in future versions!?!? Anyway. Happy browsing!
Oh, and congratz on ditchn your apple-fanboy life-style! Maturing to manhood (aka AndFreakn) sure does feel nice! ;-)
Nope, that didn't work either. I even cleared out the history. How do you clear the cache? Also, is this an Atrix problem?
P.S. for how awesome android is supposed to be, it sure does suck at loading desktop friendly websites. I have this really old a ****ty phone called the iphone 3g that can do it. As of today I have downloaded; firefox, opera, dolphin HD, and skyfire. Im not a big fan right now.

In conclusion, it is not possible to view gizmodo.com on an android phone. I notified Gawker of my troubles and they confirmed my suspicions. The new version of their website won't load. They said a solution would be coming in a few months. Thanks for the browser btw. Its like chrome and I prefer it over most.

I'm highly upset about this. Although the mobile site is faster to load and saves bandwith (when running on data netowrks of course) I still love viewing the full site on my phone.
Since they did this I visit the site less and less; it's a shame :/
I honestly hate the redesign, and still use the uk.***.com or ca.***.com versions of the sites, which load the old design, and should still work on mobile devices. (Though unfortunately io9 does not have a uk or ca page for some odd reason) Also, have you tried the addon for Dolphin HD that has the 1 button desktop/mobile user agent switcher? It has worked for me quite well on Hulu.

using the browser, if I go to HBO Go's website it doesn't give me an option to log in. I must download the app which isn't supported yet.
Download dolphin HD browser, set to desktop mode, and pretend it's the HBO go app. Streams flawlessly, and you can go full screen mode.

HBO Go works fine from the stock browser. about:debug, goto Settings in browser, Advanced, UAString, change to Desktop. I'm able to watch everything on HBO Go without a hitch. I don't understand how people are having problems with this. Works and looks great. Loving Game of Thrones.

Not sure either, I use task manager to kill all running apps, I don't have any live wallpapers running. Quality is good for a few minutes then becomes choppy and drops to like 1 fps.
Is your connection any good? Run a speed test.

Consider rooting and then getting autokiller to manage memory for you. I was idling at 80-120MB ram (which is **** because there is 750MB dedicated to the user space). With taskiller I am able to keep ~280MB free on average. I can watch youtube justin.tv hulu hbo go and other streams @720p quite easily without any chopiness. Also make sure you are up to date on your flash player.
I'm watching HBO Go on a completely stock Galaxy 10.1 with no choppiness. However, I can't seem to get an icon on my desktop. Although I got a message saying HBO Go was being downloaded, nothing showed up in my apps or download folders. I have to use my browser to go to the HBO Go website. At least it works.
Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with my tab. I'll have to check out autokiller and see if managing my memory makes any difference.
But Netflix works just fine.

Here is how to get MLB At Bat Lite 12 live video working on HP Touchpad

EDIT Apr 12 2012
This little hack is no longer needed to get At Bat Lite to work on CM.
You still need Fake GPS to set your location. Set "Allow mock locations" in Androids settings.

It installs fine from the market on any tab. But with most tabs you will not get the TV icon to watch live video and archived games unless you edit the build property.
I installed a nightly a couple of days ago which reset the 4 lines from the OP back to default. And MLB.TV live streaming still works.
So looks like you could change the device in build properties, reboot, run MLB At Bat Lite, go back to original build prop., reboot, and At Bat live streams should still work.
Model must be stored in the At Bat confg I guess.
Is a Premium subscription really necessary?
Do you really need the MLB TV Premium subscription to get this working? I'm more apt to pay $15 for the At Bat subscription than I am to pay $125.
If anyone's gotten it to work without the Premium subscription, can you please let us know how you've gone about doing so?
Thanks!
You cant watch live games with the $15 at bat app except for the free game of the day.
at bat lite only works with a sub

I was looking more for the radio feed and the replay ability. My workplace tends to frown on people watching video feeds when they're supposed to be working.
I didn't need to edit anything on CM 9 official... Downloaded Lite, logged in with my MLB.com account and can listen and watch games perfectly. I am a premium subscriber.

Good to know thx!
MLB must have changed some things.
That must be why it still worked for me after installing a nightly. And my build prop got reset.
can't get by location check
I almost get at.bat working. I have CM9 installed on the touchpad, and log in with my MLB membership, and I have a premium account. I signed up just for a month to test this stuff.
At.Bat installs fine, when I try to view a live game, it doesn't get by the location check, says it can't figure out where I am and doesn't let me watch. When I look at details of the app it says it just checks cell info and GPS info, which of course doesn't exist.
When I view through the Android browser, I ask for the browser to show me the full non-mobile website, then it lets me view video because it checks my location via wifi.
I need to tell the app to use wifi to check my location. How would I do that?

I thought they use the IP from the tab.
I have the app "Fake GPS" installed.
I set my location to Chicago and I got blacked out from the game.
Set it back to where it was, rebooted and wasn't blacked out.

I can confirm this. I just installed the CM9 nightly from the other night and I didn't have to to anything special to watch games on my TP.
Thanks guys, fake-GPS did the trick.
I have a few questions about Fake GPS. I have it installed and have it set to China. I live in San Diego, so I opened the At Bat app and tried to watch the Padres game but it says it's blacked out because I live in the zone.
How are you guys getting Fake GPS to work? Do I need to not use the At Bat app but instead watch the game through my browser?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
After installing fake GPS try clearing data on the At Bat app and logging back in. I needed to do that once

Just to verify, even if I have At Bat 12, without the premium mlb login info, i can't watch anything (even with fake gps) except the free game? =(

You need to watch through Atbat lite only.
You might need to set "Allow mock locations" in Android's settings.
Also, you may need to reboot after changing location in Fake GPS.

NBA Game Time

Hey guys,
I just wanted to share this with all of you bacause it is awesome
As everyone knows the official NBA Game Time app for android is a pain in the a** and it is not a great experience to watch games with this app So I just tried to flash the aosp android browser, install flash and watch the games within the browser itself. And guess what it works GREAT! No stuttering or lagging at all and these 3000 kbits look amazing on that screen (and my HDTV via HDMI)
Even the full screen controls are working!
So go ahead flash this aosp browser install flash and you're good to go!
Happy watching to everyone!
Nice! I hate game time app! Was going to purchase league pass to watch on app but cant purchase it for tablet so Im assuming you have league pass and are logging into it thru web?
How are you flashing aosp browser?
Yes I'm logging in via the web browser. You have to have a custom recovery installed (e.g. clockwork mod recovery) then you can copy the aosp browser zip file onto your SD card and choose install zip from SD card and you're done

Man i been trying to make it work, but all i get is sound and then it keeps loading and says cannot play the video to difficulties.
Also my League Pass app does not look at all like yours on that screenshot, dunno.
Dunno what else to do
Flash is working great under Firefox (last version or beta), it could be another solution?
FYI: I'm not using the game time app at all. I'm just using my browser. log in to your account click on a game wait for the page to load complete and then click on the game again. I don't know why but the game only shows up at the second time. then you can interact with the interface just like you're on your PC...e.g. toggle fullscreen, mute, fast forward, rewind and so on.

I would love to find a mod for the Game Time for Tablets app so I can run it on my Note II. I've tried the Paranoid Android ROM so I can run the app in tablet mode, but no luck. It still opens for a few seconds and then closes.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Flash? Can it be installed? Will it work?

flash works fine in the stock browser, you just need to side load a flash APK. Anything 11.1 or higher will work fine. Enjoy your porn :silly:.
It works well with boat browser and boat lets you set the user agent to desktop

So, even though it's JB the stock browser works with Flash? That's a big plus since I'm not yet ready to give up in-browser Flash videos. Now, it just needs root, SixAxis and Wireless Tether and I'll be content.

All Adobe said was that Flash for Android would be discontinued and wouldn't be officially supported by them after ICS. That doesn't mean it won't continue to work on some devices running 4.1 on up, just that there's no promise of working. I think Flash is still working with most Jelly Bean devices.

Same here. I doesn't work properly on some youtube videos. Some videos show scrambled lines but no pictures, some others just won't play. I installed the same JB version of Flash that I've been using on my SG3 (worked perfectly on all dozens of custom ROMs that I had flashed) and on my ATT Note (also on dozens of ROMs from AOSP, AOKP, to CM10 etc...) But no go on this Verizon Note II. I had to uninstall it. I only use Stock Browser BTW

Yeah I tried the CNN website and had no luck.. Hmmm flash is installed but not working on their site... Have you went to one of the websites that test to see if flash actually works. Here's a screenshot with OEM browser ...

Good idea! Apparently it is working according to the test pages. Maybe its just certain sites use a different player not suited for mobile...ill download dolphin beta and see if it works. Ive been out of the loop for a bit...why has adobe stopped supporting android? That was a major advantage of android in the early days.
Web site is probably borked and not handling browser user agent ID correctly. For example, videos on main page Yahoo don't work but Yahoo Movies do. Other tech news sites work too.

CNN videos work fine for me in Boat Browser. Been using that browser exclusively for about 6-months now and is about the best and fastest browser for Android with Dolphin coming in a close second.
You can get all of the Flash versions, and the latest (old) version of Dolphin that supported Flash from this link here:

I'm using the latest version of Flash (11.1.115.27) and the latest version of Boat Browser.
Just letting you guys know...CNN is a strange website in that
If you ever enter CNN without the Desktop Mode enabled and try to watch a video, then they drop a cookie in your browser, so when you come back to the website with Desktop mode, flash videos will not work. So the solution is to clear your cache.
I am having the best luck with Beta Firefox, addon: Desktop by Default (makes sites think your phone is a normal computer so no mobile bull****) and Adblock Plus (gets rid of most annoying popups etc)
Also found that when you go full screen on flash videos, you should turn the phone to the correct side of landscape so the video doesn't have to flip 180 or 90 degrees and there be a chance for it to freeze; sounds odd but a really buggy old flash page kept freezing when I went full screen the wrong way but loaded normally when I used the correct method.
Coming from the GNex, seems like Samsung's software is a little less forgiving then Google's unfortunately so steps like this seem necessary for the moment.

I just tried Firefox Beta again. Still blows. There's no full-screen, no homepage, no way to keep "request desktop" permanent, no way to access tabs in the full-screen add-on without turning full-screen add-on off, accessing tabs, then turning full-screen add-on back on again.
Desktop by Default seemed buggy and not always on.
Although Firefox was blazing fast, they've got a long way to go options-wise before they can compete with other mobile browsers.
