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!
I just bought this tablet in bestbuy. I know nothing about rooting so I would like to make it simple. I would like to run software based on flash, at least that is what they said to me. I would like to watch movie channels on weeb.tv which streams live tv . All I have is black screen on each channel. When I used my PC I have no problems, it runs smooth.
My dream is to conne t my tablet to my hdtv and watch these tv channels in 1080p. I have just ordered micro usb to hdmi adapter. I hope that by the time it arrives you guys will help me.
I tried xbmc but it also has some problems because either it doesn't work or work but in frames, horrible.
I spent last 24hrs to find different versions of flashplayer, usually versions 10.3 and 11.1, but nothing seems to work or maybe I do something wrong.
Can anyone help me?

Hi, on my samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5200) not rooted Android 4.2.2 flash did not work with next browser, boat browser, dolphin, standard browser or chrome. Flash works with Puffin and Photon browser. The Puffin Browser works sometimes very slow sometimes it is okay.
The Photon is a little bit better but not fast, but it is enough to stream web tv, video, live sports streams fluently. In the free version you must activate the flash player for each event/program again. I hope that will help somebody.
On my old samsung galaxy tab 10.1N (GT-P7501) rooted Android 4.3.1 flash works with every browser fast and stable.

many users apply Galaxy Tab 3 for browsering web and watching online flash videos. While you may have trouble watching flash videos on Galaxy Tab 3 since it does not natively support flash videos. How to make it work? check with my signatures i hope you will get the solution

I am not a developer but I have a GT-P5200 with working flash player.How? I can give you only a general description (English are not my native language).1.Working only on rooted devices.2.Go to Adobe(Official site) downloads and download the flash player files for Linux.3.Open them on p.c.4.Transfer the opened files to the sdcard of the tablet.5.Open the terminal emulator give this apk supersu permissions and install the opened files using ubuntu commands without the command sudo.Starting like this [cd sdcard].And continuing with the files like this [tar -zxvf (name of file)].It worked on my device.

It is very likely that flash player can be installed on any rooted android device (including Samsung gt p5200), without using any flash player app.
From the page: http://www.dvd3000.ca/flasharchives.html#release ,you can download fp_32.0.0.207_archive.zip. Once you open this file inside, you will find the files:
flashplayer32_0r0_207_linux_sa.x86_64.tar.gz, flashplayer32_0r0_207_linux_sa_debug.x86_64.tar.gz flashplayer32_0r0_207_linux.x86_64.tar.gz,
flashplayer32_0r0_207_linuxpep.x86_64.tar.gz
If your android is 32 bit use the files:
flashplayer32_0r0_207_linux.i386.tar.gz, flashplayer32_0r0_207_linux_sa.x86_64.tar.gz, flashplayer32_0r0_207_linuxpep.i386.tar.gz
flashplayer32_0r0_207_linux_sa_debug.x86_64.tar.gz
Rename each one of these 4 files to something easy to type. For example flashp1.tar.gz , flashp2.tar.gz etc.
How to open these files:
It's easy for everyone who owns a Linux operating system. But there is an alternative solution.
Did you know that a rooted Android has the ability to completely open all these files with one command? I will describe how to open these files
using a rooted Android. Open Play Store app and type on search line: Terminal Emulator for Android and install this app.
Connect your Android with your PC and transfer all 4 previously downloaded files to the internal storage (SD card) of your Android. Next open Terminal Emulator app and type (After each command press enter):
[su]
[cd /mnt/sdcard]
[mkdir flashc] This command will create an empty folder with the name flashc.
[mv flashp1.tar.gz /mnt/sdcard/flashc] This command will move the file flashp1.tar.gz inside the folder flashc.
Repeat this command for all the other 3 tar.gz files. (Only the name of the file has to be changed).
Next type [cd flashc]
Next type:
[tar -zxvf flashp1.tar.gz]. This command will completely open the file flashp1.tar.gz.
Repeat this command for all the other 3 tar.gz files. (Only the name of the file has to be changed).
Installation
Next type (After each command press enter):
[".flashplayer]
[chmod 775 flashplayer]
[./flashplayer]
[./configure]
[make]
[make install]
[flashplayer *.flv]
[".flash] This command will unblock the terminal from file flashplayer. (When we start a script with the command [".] , we must end it using again the command [".]
Now using a similar process install the files: flashplayerdebugger , libflashplayer.so , libpepflashplayer.so
(Only the name of the file has to be changed).
Next type:
[".usr]
[chmod 775 usr]
[cp -r usr/* /usr] and unblock the terminal from the folder usr.
(Leave the terminal running for some days.)
Notes ; 1. I am not responsible for what will happen to your device after you try any of these instructions.2. If the installation is successful flash player will work on all browsers of your android and is possible to work after any upgrade.
3.Τhis installation can be applied on any android without root , but of course the folder flashc must have been created and prepared on another device.
This is how it works on Huawei P9 lite not rooted.
remix os is great for some productivity stuff but since i have tried it for a week but no way around it plays videos on youtube or anyother streaming app or site so lets assume that this is a bug and i hope devlopers at jide will try to remove it in upcoming update. but until then if you want to play some video offline you can use vlc android app and it works fine on remix.

Having this problem too, and from what I've seen in the forums alot of people are facing it as well.
As a temporary solution, try BSPlayer. It's the only video playing app I tried that works at the moment. A bit clunky but functional.
Hopefully this will be fixed with the the coming updates =)
EDIT: I tried VLC player, but for some reason it crashes the entire OS for me xD
its to do with the graphics...my system can play full HD videos and 3D games like CSR2
try this....it might help:

I can confirm that on my Intel Core i3 with integrated hd 2000 YouTube works fine, video playback is fine, but on my older 24inch msi ae2400 that has an Amd 4670 mobile gpu video playback doesn't work and YouTube doesn't work. So i think its to do with the Amd video drivers, not sure if NVIDIA cards have a better driver, but intel gpu's seem ok
Youtube videos stream when I request the desktop version of the site in a web browser. This is not a graphics problem. There seems to be something wrong in mobile mode and something right in desktop mode. The browser proves it. Youtube and all those other apps must be running in mobile mode and that is where it seems the problem is. Try it... . Run Youtube in a browser in Desktop Mode --not mobile mode.

Good that you took the trouble to find the solution to the problem.
For me, I can't use internet as it does not detect my usb wifi dongle.
Maybe install opera/opera mini and see....that's what I use anyway.....I dislike stock browsers.
Or better yet, use the official youtube app...more feature rich and stable than browsers.

You need a browser with "a request desktop version" option. I don't think opera mini has this option. Moreover and probably a topic for another thread, in relation to your wifi problem, you could use somebody's android or apple smartphone to create a mobile wifi hotspot for your remix os computer to connect to. It will work. All smart phones have a mobile wifi hotspot.

thanks for the suggestion....about the browser.
opera mobile or opera mini (which i am using on my note 10.1 has that option.
regarding wifi hotspot.....if my pc has no wifi, how could i connect to any wifi hotspots?
anyways, i am not using it (RemixOS) as a go to OS yet....just trying out....so...no need for internet.
thanks again!
I can play videos in Chrome and VLC just fine, however MX Player simply crashes when opening the video (even the Remix Mini video). The laptop I'm testing it on has a Core i5-3317U with Intel HD 4000 graphics.
Thanks for the suggestions =)
I forgot to mention that despite video playback not working in the Youtube and Facebook apps (haven't tried others yet), they play fine when viewed from the web browser. On Chrome, clicking and holding the video itself even pops up a "save video" option; an added bonus =P
For me this is how I use Youtube and Facebook on Windows anyway (through Chrome not the standalone apps) so it doesn't bother me at all. I play local videos using BSPlayer and they play great and they have subtitle support.
Only thing I'm struggling to get working are games. Not one single game works and an OS crash is always caused. I'm using an Nvidia gpu (GT 315 to be precise..... I know it's a very crappy one xD). Hopefully we'll get better compability in the coming updates =)
Intel Mobile GME 965 Express Graphics Card (Compaq 610)
Installed 3.0.201 Still problems when playing Netflix, Youtube etc videos from the app. Video freezes very soon while audio continues. When playing videos from Chrome browser no problem. I have a Compaq 610 with Intel Integrated Mobile GME 965 Graphics Card. When will Remix support this?
Cheers,
Patrick
problem is the video cards. to at least be able to watch youtube, just open the youtube app, click on the three dots top right of the video window and choose video quality of 360 or less and you will be fine.........
Welcome to the whole forum, I'm new here and I hope to find a way to solve a problem I have with my android tv box MX9 pro. The first thing I did to whatch Prime Video was to install it from the play store. The application works, allows me to log in and gives me all the movies, tv series available. But when I want to watch a video content, whatever it is, the movie starts for about a second then closes (crashes) and returns to the home page of the chosen content.
Then i tried to install the version for Android TV, obviously not through the play store, and even in this case I log in regularly. When I want to see a video content, the video does not start but constantly remaining the buffering circle.
Finally I tried to see if I could bypass the application by going through KODI and I installed the Sandmann79 add-on for prime video and, although with a different procedure, I regularly access my Prime account. When I want to start watching a video content, after setting the standard kodi player, this seems to start regularly, the time bar advances but the screen remains blank and nothing is heard.
At this point I have exhausted all the options available to me and I am forced to ask for help in this forum.
Is it really impossible to play the videos of the first videos with this device?

Thank you, i had already Read that post and i tried the last apk 4.10.3 of [email protected] but using that apk, i got an error of internet connection when i tried to watch a video. What i am trying now is to set VLC as external default player in kodi to make sure that all the videos launched by kodi are opened with vlc that always reads everything. There is an xml file to be integrated into a specific folder of kodi but then, when I want to open the video, it gives me a message that there is an external player but I do not open it then, yet, I can not say if this additional method it works or not.
Anyway the procedure suggested in the post you conseiled me doesn't work, at least for me.
Thanks Anyway.
Rockchip, the chipset company already fixed the problem of Amazon Prime Video not working over a year ago on similar devices.
The manufacturer of your tv box must have really outdated firmware and zero support since they didn't fix it.
But Amazon also blocks the tablet app from working on devices with traces of AndroidTV as in your case and the AndroidTV app only works on full AndroidTV devices having Playready 3 DRM, which your device doesn't have, thus the error with the AndroidTV app.
You can use the Kodi addon, it works correctly, check if your are using the latest version and login from the addon's settings and wait, also make sure the InputStream addon is enabled and changed to InputStream and not Kodi or something else.
Thank you. I don't think My Android Device is out dated because received Android 8. Anyway if the problem is with drm 3 no way. Not even with kodi works, i tried all i could try. I installed addon prime video of sandmann79 and enabled inputstream but i only get The movie starting with no image neither sound, only White screen and time bar going on. Therefore i wanted to try an external player as vlc.....
I think i can't go on anymore, the Device doesn't send anymore video Signal to my tv so i can't anymore display it on the tv..... Definitively broken.
At the end of all i got a conclusión that only a tv box is worthy of bringing this name, ie nvidia shield tv, albeit with all its flaws. I had one and despite very few apps were on the play store (Chrome on all), did not have an on / off button, did not display all the shortcuts in the app section, had absolutely no such problems. I gave it back because I did not like these things but I did not think that these Chinese boxes were such a crap. I tried h96 max +, mx9 pro and both of them stopped after two days of work. I think to back to buy a shield tv, the only box worked fine with prime video, Netflix, without lags thanks to his powerful hardware.
