Group Play or Alternatives - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I would really appreciate the help. I used to absolutely love group play on my galaxy s 4 & 5. Now I have upgraded to the note 5 and realised that there is no group play. I tried installing some of the apks available online. But those only alow picture and document sharing. I need video sharing. Is there any alternatives to video screen mirroring on 2 android phones?

[HELP]Compatibility issue with the Zouzous app

Hi,
Zouzous is a French webTV for kids.
I know it from iPad and it's great
It can be found here on the play store : Zouzous
The issue when I try to download it is that is incompatible with my phone (SGS3) or any of my older phones...
This is quite surprising because why developing an app if its incompatible with mainstream smartphones. It is all the more strange that other webTV from the same editor are not incompatible with my phone.
If you guys could test the compatibility of this app with their devices and tell me if you can download it?
If you can install it, could you please strip out the apk for me and send it to me or pm me, that would be really kind
Thank you very much in advance from my kids
Surfinette
Hi everyone,
I'm back with my question because I've recently found out that the Zouzous app is apparently only compatible with google TV (which in my view is quite stupid given that Zouzous is a French TV program for kids and Google TV is not very popular in France, but anyways).
Would someone here running google TV be able to download the apk and post it for me (or send me a pm) ?
I'd really like to test the apk on the Nexus 7 tablet

[Q] Just got my first Android device - and I am lost :(

Hi,
just got myself first, proper Android device.
My Lumia has been passed on to my spouse and I am trying to get familiar with the system and device.
As you can imagine, after using iPad and recently Lumia I do feel a bit lost and overwhelemd by the amount of options, menus and submenus
As right now I am trying to dig through tons of posts, pages here and on other sites. Not an easy task to get to the essential information.
Perhaps you can help me be hinting some shortcuts or giving straight through answers?
My S3 is not branded and unlocked but not rooted, runnind Android 4.1.1
1. How do I get Flash working in Chrome?
2. How do I get Market Enabler app on it?
All my tries and downloads has not been succesful so far

Also, on my iPad I was using an awesome video player - Buzz Player.
It plays mkv (iPad can't do it smootlhy but that is different story), divix, avi... anything really.
What is mor eimportnat it was able to stream those videos from my NAS drive - old WD My Book World via smb (samba).
I tried Buzz for Android but it is truly terrible . Nothing like app on iOS + very expensive to buy.
Would you have anyy suggestion - what I should try? (BTW: option for Windows Store - "try" before "buy" is really helpfull - would love to see it on Google Play!).
And what is the best (free) barcode scanner as there is no Bing in S3.. ?

As for the barcode try quickmark for more options or barcode scanner for simple use

As far as I'm aware chrome doesn't support flash anyway, try dolphin browser hd. Market enabler does require root access. As for the video player try MX Player from the play store it plays pretty much everything, possibly the best video player for android.
Hope I could help

Playback itself is half of the problem.

Especially since it is DLNA device...
But player has to work with samba protocol
flash player for websites and videos...

1. How do I get Flash working in Chrome?
Hy im a newby here and also in android, comming from iOs too....
my phone is rooted and i managed to install the so wanted flash player from Adobe v11(not sure the version, its been a long time)
it works great in my Galaxy S3 ... i open internet sites and videos using Opera (or Chrome which i like a lot but havent tested it yet)
look for your version of system/phone in Adobe site and you will find the right flash player, just download the file and follow the instrutcions on the site.

Netflix for Android TV on non Android TV devices (uncertified devices)?

Good afternoon everyone,
I'm pretty sure this can't be done, because is blacklisted server side, but I'd want your opinion before giving up.
Is there any way to run the Netflix apps version for Android TV on non Android TV devices?
I've downloaded "Netflix (Android TV) 4.0.4 build 1716" (com.netflix.ninja_4.0.4_build_1716-1716_minAPI22(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk) from APKMirror, it installs itself well, i can login, it starts but as soon as i play a movie i get this error: We're Having Trouble Playing This Title Right Now, tvq-pq-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
I've searched in a lot of forums and it seems like nobody has been able to find a workaround.
Netflix understand that it's not running on a "certified device" and it blocks the playback.
Is there a way to bypass this?
My device is rooted so i could even change some system files, to make it look like another device.
I've got a Probox2 Air with regular Android, which is great for me, but it's a too difficult to use for my parents, with the smartphone version of Netflix and the air mouse.
In this forum the app modder simply says "Problem - Non-android TV boxes are blacklisted": http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index....ndly-apps-modified-to-work-on-regular-android
In the thread, a lot of people are in my same situation.
I've alredy tried to uninstall all the Netflix app, clear data and cache, logout and login, but it has been useless.
I really hope you can help me somehow.
If not, i think i'm going to sell the Probox2 Air and buy a Xiaomi Mi Box 3, but i'd really like to save the money and the time.
Bye!
I had the same issue and i just found a workaround which is a great solution to force HD and ultraHD on L1 and L3 widevine devices.
find bellow the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/netflix-hd-ultrahd-ultrahd-dolby-5-1-l1-t3535349
Kind Regards,

I'm sorry dude but:
- That APK doesn't seem to fix my problem. That's about forcing HD but i don't care about HD, i want the Android TV version of the app.
- It seems it has a malware in it:
I signed up just to warn you all this contains a virus.
Currently only the below file is effected.
h t t p : / / 1 9 9 . 1 7 5 . 5 3 . 2 1 / n e t f l i x l a t e s t . h d o n l y . a p k (Force Enable HD only)
Im sure he will change that seeing that im saying this now.
its a trojan

This all seems pretty suspicious to me.
Hi there,
I bought a android box trongle X8, with a great performance spec (2G RAM/ 16G ROM). However, i found a problem using Netflix as It apears the error message tvq-pb-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
Then I did my first research on the net about the error message, I learned more about Netflix and its new way of authentication in order to stream HD and UHD using widevineCDM, classifying L1 for certified devices and L3 for non-certified devices. I found as well your post that mentioned the same error message but no solution or workaround.
Then during all the day, I tried a version of Netflix for normal android (not TV) that works but the quality was SD. and after that, I found the link I have just posted to you, and I tried it by deleting the spaces between letters and it works and the quality was HD.
I was trying to share what I find as there is limited articles and person who are talking about this issues and there is no solution.
About the link, there is no trojan, or I am not aware of it, I downloaded the tree links and used tested one by one. I kept the ultraHD and it works as mentioned by the link owner.
I wish I could help, and of course, I would like to have an Android version that will work for my device as well, so I will keep looking if there is any update.
Kind Regards,
Nass
In that case, sorry if I was suspicious. And thank you for your effort.
Could you confirm that the APK you liked is a mod for the regular version of Netflix, not the Android TV one?
The version is the regular version. the version that we use on the smartphone, which is not the same of course than the android tv version, I agree.
Ok! Thank you anyway.
Best regards.
Sadly, I've found no solutions form this problem.
I had to buy a device with Android TV, the Xiaomi Box 3, which is great for my parents.
If someone finds a workaround, please let me know, I would love to have the Android TV version of Netflix on my Probox2.
Bye!
I gave up, eventually.
I did a new research recently and I didn't find any news, it still seems there's no way to use the Android TV version of Netflix on a non Android TV device.
So I bought a Xiami Mi Box 3, which is great.
Cheap, with updated Android TV os, good performance, comfortable remote and certified by Netflix.
I've discovered there's also an Android TV version of Google Play Music that is way better than the regular one, that's pretty unusable on TV.
I too have a Xiaomi Mi box 3 on my main tv its awesome. I have a MXQ pro 4k in my bedroom I installed a custom rom I found on freaktab that runs Android TV you cant tell the difference between the two by looking at them the lower spec MXQ pro plays Kodi, Plex, YouTube and Pluto TV flawlessly however NO HD Netflix its stupid I pay for HD Netflix and have a device powerful enough to run it but They go out of their way by putting extra blocks to prevent users from using their app just doesn't make sense to me.
Hi cscott1!
Could you please leave us here the link to the custom ROM you're talking about? It would be nice to give it a try!

Yep, that's the main point of all of this matter.
My Probox2 was powerful enough to use Android TV Netflix app and HD streaming but Netflix doesn't want me to do it. That's silly. Anyway, they're the ones in command.

The fact that I couldn't find a working Netflix apk for Android TV for my uncertified device irritated me so much that I decided to make my own sort of lol you can tweak the settings of Titan BETA skin for Kodi to look and act very much like Android TV Netflix here is what you can make it look like.

That's seriously really cool, mate! Congratulations!
Maybe if I had seen your work before, I would have kept my Probox2.
Thank you for posting in this thread.
Someone will have the apk mod of 3.2.2 netflix Android TV mod from the wetek forum, mega links were canceled.
I have Magisk + hide + lioemcrypto module + L1 and L3 would like to try if this apk works, very interested in the design and not in the resolution.
Hi januxool, no, I'm sorry, I didn't save it anywhere so I haven't got it.
Remote Crontrol issues Original Netflix don't scroll episodes menus
The Netflix works with the Original Remote Control? Can I change episodes 18, 20,21 with the original remote control or I need to buy a Mini-Keyboard to scroll on netflix episode menus?
Bump.
Still no way to get this working?
I'm sure with a rooted device there's a way to trick Netflix servers into thinking I'm using a certified box.

Amazon Prime Video Apk on Xiaomi Mi Tv 4

Hi,
Recently Xiaomi launched Mi Tv 4 in India.
All apps (netflix, youtube, Terrarium ) works fine except Amazon Prime Video.
I got this apk from reddit and its from nVidia Shield TV.
App get installed and signed in successfully (it says nVidia Device registered) but when I went to play some movies it just exit.
used logcat to debug and found that prime app is contacting license server and just after that process get exited.
Same app works from Mi Box 3 , so it may not be geo locked thing ?
What else could be , what license server could not be liking the request from Mi TV 4 ?
How did you installed Netflix?, Can you give me the APK file link? Please
On YouTube type 'mi tv my experiments' Check out first review video of that channel, it has bunch of links.
Subscribe channel , it's a good one.
im interested in this too if anyone can help
can anyone make a offical forum for mi tv 4 and 4a please
Where did you find apk forTerrarium?
Please share this apk if possible.
HI
This method works for me and will also work for you guys.
First install Google chrome.
then open primevideo.com in the browse
make sure to open this webpage in desktop site
then play any video, on first try it will take some time and will show a popup to enable drm content just allow it.
and VOILA … video from amazon prime plays without any lag
note : the video quality will be worst at start but after a few mins it goes to HD
THIS IS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE .
HOPE THIS HELPS
THANKS
Much Thanks, how can we make it full screen?
There is a fullscreen icon on top right of the screen.
Preferable to operate via mouse
Thanks let me check
Hi ....I have a MI 4 box connected to my Intex LED....have taken subscription got amzon prime videos....can someone suggest how to install amazon apk in my MI 4 Box?
For prime video your device must support Microsoft Playready DRM. Yet, only the US released MiBox 3 supports it.

Multi-screen video play?

I loved the Samsung note 4 video sharing feature.
Is this possible on newer android phones?
If yes, can someone link me the app?
