Just looked up DroidTV on the MArket. Sounds like an amazing app, but it lists Archos tablets as not appropriate. Thats a shame as it would have looked great on such a big screen ....

Yap Tv Show Stream is quite nice, you can see all series but the disadvantage is that not all movies are in there (maybe because that app is quite new)
You can find it in the market or here

Here are some great alternatives to netflix for your touchpad.
Hulu , works great but you may need to patch your browser to make it work.
epctv.com , watch live online tv, I watch CNN live on here.
crackle.com , they have a big selection of movies. Its not netflix but hay its free.
zinc.tv , you really should check this out. Online media center for your touchpad. Watch all kinds of shows for free with a great interface.
Epixhd.com - Great alternative to Netflix.
some of these sites may not work with ad blocker installed.
if anyone can think of others, please share.
tv.blinkx.com
and
sidereel.com
they host LINKS to sites that host the episodes so as far as I know (I could easily be wrong) it's legal.
If you have a hbo subscription wwwhbogo.com.
EPIXHD.COM works great on the TP. Just watched The Captains on it in HD.
thanks for the links!

This is a GREAT list!
Any idea how someone would be able to watch/listen to NFL games on the touchpad, or even at all? We recently moved 2 states away and won't be able to follow our local team.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

probably using espn online since it's flash.
Also, al jazeera english has a live tv stream for news on youtube.com
"wwitv.com" EXACTLY like that. Its a crappy site but a great way to watch live broadcasts. I'm watching Fox's live broadcast from NY right now. Decent framerate, always live.
there is also orb streaming for the touchpad - (http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/294298-orb-media-streaming-awesome.html)
I've use orb in the past with dishnetwork, works great.
im looking forward to netflix finishing their switch from silverlight to html5 video. they already did for chrome os. when everything is sorted out on it, itll be open to linux and the others soon, and hopefully we can watch it in the touchpads browser soon.
Is there a patch on Preware for adding Hulu support to the browser?
I use p2p4u.net lot of sports and local tv stations for America

the app video flood hd is really nice it has all the links you have listed and a lot more all wrapped up in a easy UI, and there is a Hulu fix in preware, for who want that.
If you're trying to add Hulu support, make sure you add these testing feeds to Preware.

Netflix is not currently available for WebOS devices. The forum at slickdeals suggests to reply to @Netflixhelps on Twitter and request an official release of the Netflix streaming app for WebOS.
Hulu is also not currently available for WebOS devices. There is a workaround I found posted, but that I personally have not tried. I will edit this post after I try it to let you know how it goes. Google "prewarewebosbuzz Hulu". First result.
You can stream video content from your PC to Touchpad by using Tversity. From slickdeals:
1. Install Tversity media server on your laptop/desktop.
2. After installation, add the files you want to view on the library tab. To add an avi file, go to Library, File system, Files and click add item on top.
3. Open cmd prompt on your computer, and type "ipconfig" There you should find your IP address. Note this down.
4.On your touchpad, open a web browser, then type in :41952/flashlib after your IP address. For example, h t t p : // 192.168.1.0 :41952/flashlib
There you should be able to browse your folders to find the video you are looking for. One problem is that you can't rewind/forward etc.
Again Slickdeals:
Amazon Video On Demand/Prime Videos works runs rather well. Audio holds up well but you might need to use the pop out function on the player over full screen to get it to fill the screen. It might lag when first starting it up but pausing and allowing it to buffer will allow it to self correct.

or you can install kalemsoft media player http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/demos/com.kalemsoft.ksmplayera_0.3.7_tp.ipk using the webos quick install program that you used to install preware on your touchpad. dont install it from preware, itll crash.

hi folks,
recently i have tried to copy paste the CCNA courses (Exploration) from my laptop to the tablet. it is not too smart but i was thinking perhaps may work as the browser i use, Dolphin HD, support flash and java. finally copied the entire folder and launched the index.html. it worked the intro page including the flash but nothing else. no course can be launched.
was anyone able to figure it out how the official CCNA courses (installed on Windows) can be run on android?
highly appreciate it.
I'd be interested in seeing this work.. the the ATP will become my primary device then

i have the same problème... it works on debian but not on my acer a700. Help me
:crying: Tanks a lot.
I'm assuming that these courses aren't interactive; they're just a series of videos, right? Just transcode them into a format that Mobo Player or countless other video players will play.
There must be video files in one of the directories. I would suggest directly opening the video files than opening the index page or main app via browser. For video player, use MX Player.
It would be nice if this could work.
I will ask some application developers in my class some information
If i got some information i will come back on this matter.
It does work on Backtrack and CentOS, theoretically it also should work on android
Sorry for my bad English.
(Off-topic: I am doing CCNA 4 now and it's quite hard)
Hello,
Is it possible to play a DVD's Structure or ISO (containing the "VIDEO_TS" folder) directly on Android with menus? If yes, how?
Sent from ParanoidAndroid 0.4a on Galaxy Note GT-N7000 using XDA App.
Yes. U first have to use a pc program called handbrake that will convert format for u, then u can watch it on ur device
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Wouldn't it defeat the purpose of keeping the subtitle ?
Edit: I have found the solution:
Extract files contained in ISO file to your Smartphone and use Daroon Player
you'll be able to play a DVD with the menus.

Hi, is there a solution to stream DVD ISO directly to an android device?
I ripped all my DVDs (ISOs are all located in my NAS) and will not convert my collection to play it on my phone/tablet. If android cannot perform such a basic thing, I will have no choice but turning to surface and win8. Would be sad but if there's no choice...
I believe it is possible but you will have to look into DLNA and such, I do not have the possibilities to confirm it since I did not try it myself.
I think you should create another topic to have more chances of obtaining an accurate response.

Hi, I installed XBMC on my android tv stick and it appears to play some DVD ISO files. I say some because out of about 15 I tried 2...one worked and the other didn't.
You'll need to download the xbmc.apk file from www.xbmc.org and have your security settings set so u can install third party applications.
Gavin
Is there a way to directly mount ISOs now or do I still have to extract the files? By the way, VLC and BS Player can open the ISO but they won't get further than the menue.
chris198810 said:
It will be only possible if you'd like to convert the DVD ISO, or "VIDEO_TS" folder to Android friendly format. There are some video convert tool can help you, like the free Handbrake, but it needs a third-party software still; or Brorsoft dvd ripper, it will cost you some $ or so, it will help you fast rip and convert your home or commercial DVD ISO image files or VIDEO_TS folder to a common video like MP4 for your Android device within one-stop.

Okay, but would that friendly format support menus?
My daughter has a Nabi 2 and we love it she loves it everyone loves it, she is 2.5 years old and up till recently we had netflix which worked great but I wanted to drop the cost. I own a Synology NAS and figured why not use DSVideo and VLC player on the nabi to stream the video's we already have.
This was great in theory but when in "nabi Mode" (kid protected mode) DS Video can't launch VLC to play the video when im in Parent's mode or just the normal OS there is no issue so there is some sort of protection in kids mode that won't let one app launch another. Does anyone know of anything I could do to resolve this? The Nabi is rooted already but I really don't want to stop using "nabi Mode" so i am hoping someone has tried something similar.
Thanks.
Hi did you manage to solve this problem?
We have exactly the same issue, synology nas and 3 nabi's which will only playback via ds video in daddy mode!!

I'm not familiar with DS video but I understand its from symbology NAS. Is there an option to add VLC to kids mode as well? I would guess you could use ES file explorer to connect to NAS and then launch MX player but that procedure isn't kid friendly if they don't read well.

Hi, no VLC player app available in Amazon app store (cant access google play store via navi) so not sure how I would go about making it available in kids mode.
So frustrating because is works perfectly in daddy mode but defeats the point of having a kids tablet if I let them use it like that!
