I recently purchased a Sozy Z2 (wifi only) tablet and I'm having a frustrating issue with Video Unlimited.
I'm logged in, authorized my device. If I search for content I've already purchased (via my PS3 or VITA) it shows me that I've already purchased it. The "download" button is available and lit up but if I press it, nothing happens. No errors or anything - it just appears to not even register the click. Meanwhile that content can be downloaded to PS3 or Vita without any issues.
Furthermore, if I purchase a movie directly on the tablet I have the same problem - the download button does nothing. Meanwhile I can then go to the PS3 or Vita and download it there.
So it seems I have no way to actually download Sony purchased content to the tablet. It's frustrating because it feels like I must be doing something wrong.. but it's not that complicated - there's my content, there's the download button.. but nothing happens.

hi all I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get videos from android to the wii (hacked of course). I have tried to just plug in a usb cord in the back like I do for my psp but every time I go into an app for watching movies it wont show my phone. I know I can just take the sd card out but its a real pain to take the back off my phone and the case I have on it too. anyone have any ideas (besides taking out the sd)?
i'm wondering the same thing, they both have bluetooth, so maybe there's a way to stream music/video from android onto it that way? even if that isn't possible, is there a way to trick the wii into thinking it's a linux computer, and stream via wifi? (wiimc should be able to identify it at that point, no?)
i doubt anyone's going to bother trying to get this to work : (
What about a dlna server and wiimc? Does it work?
Or set up samba filesharing on android and connect from wiimc?

Yes it's completely possible (and without wires) to stream videos off your rooted Android to your modded Wii. I'll see about writing up a full guide ...
[Guide/How to]Android/Wii wireless networking solutions | Stream videos and transfer/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576185
... for now though I'll assume you'll want to know how I did it quickly
1. Download and install WiiMC to your Wii if you've not already done so.
www.wiimc.org
2. Download and install FTPServer to your rooted Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lutey.FTPServer
Edit 12172013- this next suggested app should replace the previous
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nalic.app.wifishare
WiFi share is far more stable to use with the Wii ... Well for streaming with WiiMC it works but for WiiXplorer I've yet to get this app to work.
3. Set up FTPServer to point to the folders you want to share
- check the box to restrict access to other folders
- set user name and password
4. Connect your Android device to a wireless access point, for this I used an old rooted phone that has the Hotspot function but no data connection to the outside world, but you can use a wireless router instead.
5. Open FTPServer again and start the service.
6. Now to pick up the Wii mote and set up a FTP connection
- Finger up to the gear symbol, click it, and finger down to Network
- Add a new FTP (it's the option that isn't smb) and input the info from the FTPServer app; IP-address, port, username, and password.
Note: don't worry about setting a folder path in the WiiMC screen we're in right now because FTPServer will take care of this if set properly.
- Back out of the setup screen on WiiMC and finger over to the Film icon (on the far left of the screen) and you should see your new connection, click it and enjoy browsing and playing almost all your videos on your Wii.
Somethings to note; it's kinda finicky on showing anything in a directory so just press B and A on your Wii mote till it works, high resolution videos don't work well so keep it 480p or bellow, I'll say it again its really finicky so try restarting each device's connection or software one at a time till things start working.
I realize this question is from a little wile ago but felt that this answer would benefit us all. I don't know if streaming music or pictures wirelessly from Android to Wii works but video works once a directory is loaded. I'll be testing other apps, options, or crafting my own solutions shortly to work out why folders don't always show content but for right now (just got it working a few hours ago and have been watching all sorts of formats) it's great for proof of concept and home use.

Hey guys,
Just bought the Tablet s and have a few things annoying me, and would like some advice on other stuff.
1. Ive read everywhere that the WiFi is an issue with these tablets. After a few hours trolling the forums, i found advice on getting 2 apps to force the WiFi to stay connected (WiFi Fixer and WiFi Lock). i have found i am still having disconnection issues when these two apps ( along with the stock settings) are set to never turn off.
2. Im using DLNA to network the tablet to my pc via WiFi, and am using the PS3 Media Server to access my drives. i have no problems using the PS3 Media Server through my PS3 or through my PSP. the issue is that whenever i wish to watch a movie on the tablet, it says " This device cannot play this content" (beit MKV AVI or MOV). also just viewing pictures it wont load the picture properly, just a blurry low quality version of it. what would be the best way to network the tab to the pc?
3. Using the Media Remote i have found that once i have programmed in the buttons (learning from a device) it drops the learning and i have to re program the buttons (not all, maybe just a few). also is there a way to get the skins of the remote your programming instead of the basic remote it gives you?
4. How can i get the first page to be the main page that shows up after unlocking the tab? as it is business use and i dont want to have them see all the apps i have loaded when i unlock the screen to show them products
Thanks for your help, and yes, ill continue to troll the forums for answers!
Okay. Here are most of your answers:
1. I use Advanced Wifi Lock. Besides that change the wifi sleep policy in advanced (of wifi settings) to Never. Havent had a single problem since!
2. Not very good in this area. I suppose you need a better video player. Try moboplayer from the play store. You would need to download the codecs after installing the app.
Note: Dont expect to play 1080/720p videos across wifi!
3. Havent heard of the stock app forgetting the ir codes. Contact einschnaehkee in this thread ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324479 ) and request him for a beta of his perfect replacement to the stock sony remote app.
4. Use a more advanced launcher. Download ADWLauncher from the play store. Allows you to set the main home screen and choose which apps will appear in the drawer!
Hey guys,
I've got a big problem.
I want to modificate an app called "Sky Go". Well, the main reason is the following: If you look at the available content of Sky Anytime - which you can access with your normal Sky Receiver - and Sky Go - which you only can access with mobile devices - you can easily see, that Sky Go has much more films than Sky Anytime.
Well, Problem 1: I own an Asus TF300T Tablet. It very good at decoding video etc. caused to the Nvidia Tegra CPU. Long Story Short: I want to use this tablet but I can't cause the App is not available for this device. No Problem, installed the App on my Galaxy S4 Mini and copied the app to the tablet.
Problem 2: The App currently only works with WLAN, but I don't like this solution. I own the Media Dock for this Tablet that offers LAN Connections to the tablet. With other apps the LAN Connection works, but Sky says whenever I start it "Please check Internet connection"
Problem 3: HDMI. I don't want to watch the videos from Sky Go on my tablet, no. There's a big Flat TV in the living room I want to use. Whenever a movie is running and I plug in HDMI it stops showing the video and says "Chromecast is not available at the moment"
Long Story short: I want to modify the App.
I've already disassembled the app with apktool and managed to edit the "sources" with APKStudio.
I thought I found the lines where there's checked whether HDMI is plugged in or not and where's checked the Ethernet connection. I could say I was 10000000% sure. Well, recompiled the app, installed it and it doesn't work.
Could APKStudio be the cause? Doesn't it recompile the app with my modifications?

Hi, I have an LG G5 Android version 7.0. I just recently purchased a Roku Express +. I had one of the very first generation Roku's but I haven't used it for 3 or 4 years so I got it all set up and was excited about the option to screen mirror my phone to watch content that I can't cast.
Everywhere I look shows me the exact same information, which is basically to go to my settings in my LG G5, share and connect, select the device, and then, supposedly, Voila! Except there is no Voila!
What ends up happening is that my phone sees the Roku unit and after it finishes searching it shows it's connecting. I've already been into my Roku settings and it sees the LG G5 and also has an abled no prompts necessary for connection. But within a couple of seconds of connecting to the Roku, and the Roku puts up a little purple screen that shows a small device and a large TV screen so it looks like something's going to happen, then the connection drops, Roku goes back to its home screen, and my phone shows no devices are available for connection.
I have tried to Google myself silly figuring out what might be going on. I can't screen mirror remotely from my phone to my TV, which is early generation flat screen and not a smart TV, but with an HDMI cord and a dongle I bought that allows it to work that way. But, of course, when I do that I'm limited to screen mirroring only as long as my battery is running because the dongle goes into my charging port on my phone.
Maybe I am misunderstanding things, but from everything I can see, it appears that my Roku model I have, which is a 3900 series, should work as the Miracast Dongle so that my LG G5 can screen mirror to my unsmart TV.
I have PlayStored myself to death and because Developers interchange the words "cast" and "mirror" it's been install, uninstall, install, uninstall Ad nauseam. For all of the apps that end up just basically being "assistants" and taking me to my share and connect page they are no help at all because even though I go through the process the same problem happens.
I did download one app, which works but is working so horribly because of the app itself that it's useless. So I do know that my phone can mirror through the Roku somehow but it is basically circumventing having to go through the Share & Connect somehow. That app was called Screen Stream Mirroring, and I was trying the free version because I did not want to spend $5 if it wasn't going to work at all. Aside from the annoying ads and limited time, it did a lot of "loading. . .", and had a significant delay. I don't mind the delay, but today it was working worse than it did last night when I first tried it. I'm not sure how it connects, but there was a little tab on the side that said to connect to Chromecast, DLNA, or other stuff, and when I clicked on that Roku popped up as an option because the app saw my Roku so I connected that way. Or any way connected crappily.
I know that's a lot of information, but I wanted to give you everything that I've tried so far. I've also cleared my caches, uninstalled the third party mirroring and casting apps, made sure there were no available updates for my LG G5 or Roku, rebooted my phone, unplug and rebooted the Roku, and I'm not sure if there is a great app I can download? I don't mind a third party app but I can't find one that will work for me right now. So if anybody has ideas on that. Again, I need something that will mirror and not just passed because I would like to view my DishAnywhere or other things on the TV that I can't see through my Roku.
Or, ideally, it would be great to have my phone mirror directly to the Roku without that connection dropping and not seeing the device for some reason. There is no Direct Customer Support with Roku or my model Roku even though I just bought it new. My only options are help center cookie cutter choices you have to select from a drop-down menu, none of which have anything to do with screen mirroring.
Thank you in advance for any experience and or suggestions and ideas to troubleshoot this.,

Okay, how about a good Screen Mirroring App, not Casting, to mirror my LG G5 through my Roku? But it needs to bypass the Screen Mirroring button on my Share & Connect in Settings since that process keeps recognizing, trying to connect, and then dropping the Roku.
I did find one app that used a tab to connect directly to DNLA, Chromecast, etc. that recognized Roku and connected it, but the buffering/loading was horrible, the resolution wasn't great, and the second time I tried to use it the audio was not working. It was called Screen Stream Mirroring by MOBZAPP. Others I tried simply took me back to toggling on my Screen Mirroring button, and that is not working. Bypassing it did work, although the app wasn't great. I am hoping there is another, but I have not had luck since some developers say "mirror" but mean casting.
Thank you in advance for your time and and ideas,
