[Q] TVPlayer app doesn't work via ethernet - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(i've posted this on XDA Assist but was told to post it here)
hi
so some channels on TVPlayer app only works via wifi. i use the app on my android tv box to stream live channels like bbc, itv etc etc. is there a mod to this app or maybe a spoof to make the channel work via ethernet? cos i've tried 'Fake Wifi Connection' modules from Xposed and it works only on certain apps like BBC iPlayer and Tune In Radio but not TVPlayer. i think TVPlayer is a much better app cos it lets u stream different live channels, plus iPlayer and ITV Player is not stable on my tv box. Ethernet is better than Wifi anyway. anyone can help me out?

[Q] Look for WIFI DLNA to a Television

Please advice from your experience:
I search for a resonabely priced LED/LCD TV (32", 100hz full-hd, DLNA) supporing my SGS2's all-share, via wifi or wifi dongle.
Please recommend.
Which wifi USB dongle should be used with such a TV?
Which video formats are supported (via DLNA)?
Thanks

hi,
I have samsung 40C6820 in my home.
ITs connected with wire to my adsl modem and sgs2 via wifi.I am not using a wifi dongle and its working perfect.
I can play most of the video from phone on tv. It depends on your tv which video formats you can play.
Also there is a program samssung remote which you can control tv with sgs2 like a remote controller over wifi ie. from other room you can volume up or down. etc..
Thanks
Since the TVs in my home do not support DLNA; I did decide to go with the LG-ST600 Smart TV Upgrader (see: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/au...ries/lg-st600-smart-tv-upgrader-958975/review)
regards
I guess every TV with DLNA works. Mine Samsung 6700 (46" LED) is working perfectly - it's connected via cable to my home network. And if you buy a Samsung TV there is a remote control app available via the Samsung market -my girlfriend got a bit crazy when I played with it :-D

[Q] iPlayer streams blocked?

Has the BBC finally blocked iplayer streams to apps like myplayer? None of them seem to work for me anymore, wondering if it is a mobile ISP thing or not?
Well I'm streaming BBC1 over 3g right now with the old version of myplayer with no problems.
I lost Iplayer yesterday still not working on official app.
Streams might have changed and MPlayer not picking them up .
jje
The official bbc iplayer app is not working for me either, and yes I switched to wifi before trying it.

streaming nas media

Hey guys i was wondering what is the best app out there that will allow me to stream my movies and tv shows from my nas to my tab while im away from home. I know how to do port forwarding just cant find a app that will stream the media
Plex works really well! It converts on the fly if you have a PC next to your nas. Quality on your LAN is great! Quality on the WAN is so so but it works!
Thanks for the reply i have plex installed but it doesnt work outside of my home network on my tab. It works fine on my phone but not on my tab ( my tab is tethered to my phone to access the internet when im not home)
TVersity allows you to stream outside of your network. Quality is much better than on Orb or some of the others.
what app do you use for tversity i checked the market and nothing came up

I don't use an app. usually. I do it straight from the browser. You can enter an http address and pull up files or a flash file.
Alternatives are Vplayer, the Toshiba Media Player app available on XDA (works the best actually) and um..... one other one I forget. You just install TVersity on your PC and let it scan wherever your media is installed. Whether it be on your puter or an external.
I use J.River Media Center, the app is called "Gizmo" (just search in the market).
I'm able to control all my music in different rooms, workplace etc over the pad. Or stream it to the pad itself.

I use Plex over 3G on my Wi-Fi Tab tethered to my phone. I'm tethering via Wi-Fi, not USB. I have to store the remote IP address for the server Plex is running on in order for the app on the Tab to find it.
yeah i have my remote ip address saved and im teathered via wireless as well and i dont get a connection. My phone has the same remote ip address as well and it connects just fine. Ive also tried connecting to my vpn teathered and that doesnt work either, but my phone can connect without any problems
I have a QNAP 212 NAS and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Tried Tversity/uPnP and the rest but all I got was jerky playback over wifi.
Solution was long winded but now I can stream anything stutter free
1. Map NAS drives to PC (Windows 7 cannot index NAS so use this workaround)

2. Install Qloud
3. Stream at 2048mbps
4. Funmouth
thanks for the reply works like a charm
no worries

[Q] BBC iplayer app

Hi all
I have an Archos G9 running stock ICS 4.0.4 (Android 4.0.3). I have installed the BBC iplalyer app and can watch videos from the BBC iplayer website so there is no problem with Flash etc.
The problem I have is when I launch the app it doesn't run the app instead it takes me to the BBC iplayer website(I cannot post the url) . This is not whatI want as you can not stream live tv from this site.
I have done the obvious, reinstalled the app, cleared internet cahes etc, even contacted the BBC, and of course seached the net.
So two questions; the first is can anyone use the app on an Archos G9 and if so what do I need to do.
It is very annoying as my 7 inch resistive tablet running Andoid 2.3 works fine with the app
Thanks in advance
Nothing you can do.
New version of iPlayer app coming soon; hopefully it will allow us to stream.
BTW I can stream from the site : have you installed their new Media Player plugin?

Hi
Thanks for rapid response
Yes I have the Media Player app too and I can watch programmes from the website so if I go to say yesterday and select "The Paradise" that was broadcast at 9.00pm it will play fine
What I cannot find on the mobile iplayer website is where to stream live TV shows, if you can do so could you explain how
Also, if you have the iplayer app, does it also take you to the mobile iplayer website
Thanks
Yes the iplayer app just opens my browser to the iplayer website so I uninstalled it and use a shortcut instead.
Sorry I didn't pay enough attention to the OP so missed your request for live streaming.
For streaming live TV; search Google Play for "filmon"
Use either 'Filmon online TV' or 'FilmonX'; I can't tell the difference between them.

Hi
Thanks for this, at least I am pleased it is not just me !!
I have installed Filmon onlineTV and it does just just I want, in fact as it does so many channels it is even better
Thanks again:good:
And I just installed the long-awaited new version of the iPlayer app :
Features include:
- Watch live TV
- Listen to live radio
- Watch or listen over Wi-Fi and 3G networks
- Scroll through and find Featured and Most Popular programmes
- Add programmes to your favourites and have them ready and waiting when a new episode or series is available
- Browse through the schedule for upcoming programmes
And yet for me, the app still only serves as a shortcut to bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer
Sad.
Yep I was disappointed as well - just got a 23" touchscreen running with a small android box (Minix Neo X5) to go in the kitchen to do all sorts.
BBC site claims they have issues with screens bigger than 7" (or I guess higher resolutions) that they hope to fix. Not sure what problems they are but maybe someday!!
Anyone know of a side load us in north America can download this. I would love to have this for top gear. Do you Need a BBC account?

There's no point Steve, all this 'app' does on the G9 and G10 Archos is opens your browser at http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/

[Q] Solution for XMBC on Android TV

So my parents bought a Philips 48pfs8109/12 Smart TV (Android).
I want to set up something like Kodi so i can simplify the UI of the mediacenter we have, and to have them control the TV with the ipad.
I first looked at plex and tought i found the solution. So i bought a chrome cast and set everything up. The problem that occurred was that the video stutterd a lot because for some reason the streaming over wifi is not doing what is should do.
I do not think it is our internet speed since we have a decent connection and download and upload speed.
So since our TV is hooked up to the internet via Ethernet i wanted to use the TV as a receiver.
But the plex app kept asking for a PlexPass so that wasn't a solution either.
Then my eye caught XBMC or as it is called now Kodi but i cant find a way to set it up on my android tv.
I have rooted my tv, which i think means i can install unknown sources.
Maybe if i install the kodi android file on my tv. I will try that later today.
But if anyone knows a better way
PS: I also saw plexbmc and plexbmc helper which is nice because my parents like the plex ipad app.
Thanks in advance!
Install spmc from Google Play
